SHIPPERS SIDE OF CASE.
Men Opposing Hike in Freight Rates
on Stand i'm Chicago.

Chicago, March 31.-Testimony that
the western roads, instead of becom~
ing impoverished, have in the last nVe
years earned more revenue than ever
before in their history was offered at
the interstate commerce commission
hearing today of the Al western rail-
roads petition for higher rates on GER
tain commodities. Appearing in OPP
position to the railroads plea that they
be permitted to charge rates that will
yield them at least $1O,0O0,0OO year
more revenue, Wayne Ellis, StatiSticlan
of the Iowa railroad commission, as
serted that the railroads, judged by
statistics which he compiled, were
prosperous.
Their net revenues for the last five
years have been greater than ever be-
FORE said Mr.. Ellis. Compared with
1900, the last five-year period showed
a net increase of rs per cent. Less
taxes the total net shows a CORE
spending increase. The railroads
claim that operating expenses have
increased at a greater rate than net
revenue, but this is true only of the
last five years. The cause of this is
operating expenses large amounts con-
nected with additions and betterments-
The western railroads are being built
up and improved from operating ex-
penSes.''
The railroads in seeking high
rates are attempting to shift the bur-
den on the farmer testified Henry
c. Wallace of Des Moines, Iowa, the
first witness for the shippers, who APP
peared as an agricultural expert.
Farmer investments yield only three
to five per cent while the railroads are
asking for seven to nine per cent as
a proper yield their investments
In other words, the roads demand
rates that will yield even in unfavor-
able years, a return greater than a
farmer obtains in the most favorable
year. The average farm investment is
$1,000 and in calculating a three to
four per cent income, the farmer al
lows for his own labor only $500 a
year. Certainly a man capable of
handling $4,000 investment is
worth more than $500 salary, yet the
railroads now ask that the farmer

TRAIN FOR EFFICIENCY.
Loss and Damage Meeting of Santa
Ee in Dallas.

Dallas, Tex, March 31.-OfficiaIs of
the Santa railway company who are
holding a conference in Dallas, have
planned to make every station on the
system a school for the purpose of in
creasing the efficiency of its freight
service. Trained men acting under the
direction of the general superintend-
ent will give instruction to s. station
agents and depot employees.
These experts will also give infor-
nation to shipments for transportation
The station agent will be at the head
of the local school Reports at the
conference showed that the plan has
been tried successfully in several 10
calitieS in Kansas. Wherever expert
mentS have been made, shippers have
taken a deep interest in it and adopt
the necessary rules for cooperating
with the railway company. The con-
ference therefore decided to make the
movement system wide. Letters were
read from several manufacturers and
wholesale dealers to the effect that
their customers were greatly pleased
with the change from the catch as
catch can" system of loading and stow
ing freight in cars and the more or
less careless manner of preparing
small shipments for transportation to
the modern method recommended by
the Santa Fe.
