Chicago. April 2.--seyen per cent is
not too high a return 90 railroads on
their investments, and railroads may
earn even more than that wlthou, in
dicaiing that they have enforced ex-
cessivcly high freight rates. Z. q.
Powell, rate expert OF the Nebraska
railroad commission, testified under
cross examination today AZ the inter-
state commerce commission hearing
of the western rate case.
Powell had Oeen on the stand two
days In opposition 10 the foriy-One
western railroads plea for higher
freight rates on certain commodities.
He selected six Of the western roads
as typical. saying they were earning
on an average OF s.75 per cent and
that this showed they were not un-
prosperous. The roads were the Atch-
ison, Topeka and santa Fe: the Chi
case. burlington and quincy; the chi
cago. Milwaukee and st. Paul: the
Chicago and Northwestern: the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific: and the
Missouri, Kansas aad Texas.
Counsel for the railroads contcnded
that Powell has selected mostly the
strong roads. emitting the financially
weaker ones. which ALSO are party
to the plea for more revenue.
Taking your own figure of 6.75
per cent" asked G.. g. Wright. gem
cral solicitor for the Chicago and
Northwestern road. acting for all the
roads. "do you recall the Minnesota

Powell explained that although the
/ average earnings OF the roads he Sc
icctcd had been 6.15 per cent they
never had paid dividends nt that rate

all the roads invoved In this case
averaged dividends equal to that per-
