Santa Fe Man Explains Cause
of Decrease in Earnings.
BRAz0S VALLEY RECEIVERSHIP
May Cause j. j. Hill to Discard
North to South Plan.
Other Items Of General Interest
in the Traffic World.

The Independence Daily Reporter said
that the railroad companies formerly
ran twelve or fifteen car freight trains
through that town. using teapot" en-
gines. Now they run fifty or sixty car
trains to handle the traffic, using mo-
gul engines. YET commented Editor
Knox, the railroads say they never
were 50 hard up as now. What is the
trouble?'
That question left an opening for J.
=. FARRELL. publicity agent OF the Santa
B'e who showed up the next day with
an answer. and "craved the indul-
gence." ETC.. Of the editor to the ex-
tent of a couple Of 'sticks'' to set read
ers right on the subject. The Santa
Fe man did not crave in vain, and here
is his answer. as it appeared in the
Reporter:
1T simply is a case Of burning the
candle at both ends. The main trouble
10 with the net earnings-with the in
creased cost Of living, If you please. for
that problem confronts the railroads
the same as it does the people: Since
the days Of the teapot engine, the
cost Of everything that the railroads
have used in construction. operation
and maintenance. including labor. has
increased steadily. while the rates
charged for service have been ham,
mered down constantly. No merchant.
farmer, manufacturer nor other busi-
ness man will hesitate to say that prac-
tically everything he has purchased in
the last decade has increased in price
except transportation-nor will he be
inclined to question the statement that
the railroads have had to pay more
and more all the time for the things
they buy. The difference between rail-
roads and other lines OF business ac-
tivity Is that the railroads get less for
that which they sell, while those in
other kinds Of business are permitted
to add to the price every little while
to overcome the increased cost.
by increased efhciency-larger cars.
larger engines. better roadbed. heavier
rails, modern terminals, etc.-the rail-
roads have been able to increase their
volume Of business. but have not been
able to increase their net hearings. on
acc cunt of the increase in their tx
penses. The showing Of low earnings
IS cot a trick in bookkeeping to deceive
the public. The interstate commerce
commission employees an army Of ex-
perts to work on railway accounts for
the purpose of ascertaining whether
books are correctly kept. and, to the
credit Of the railroads. few errors have
been found"
