roads claim of reduced net earnings.
AS an illustration, one OF the ex.i
hibitsl shows that the principal expense.
item consisting largely OF wages bears
a les proportion to the total operating
expenses In 1913 than for any single
year since 1888; that maintenance of
equipment bears a larger proportion to
total operating expenses than for any
single one of the sixteen years ,preced.!

lures a larger proportion in 1913 than
for any year since 1907. The exhibits
show that these two principal items of
maintenance expenses increased enor..
mouslys over any preceding year, and
that ii these expenditures had not
been SO unusually large in 1918, the
railroads would have been able to
show for that year. larger, net earnings
than for any previous year.
On this question, of increased wages
which the railroads emphasized In
their campaign for an increase in
rates, DR.. Warne's exhibits show for.
all the Pennsylvania lines that in 1918
less than so cents out OF every dollar
OF operating expenses went for trans.

more & Ohio lines this item in 1918
showed also 81 cents out of every
dollar Of operating expenses, being
the lowest since 1908 with the excep.
ton of 1910.
III contrast with this wage item OF
operating expenses, DR.. Warne's .ex.
hibits show the encroachment OF main.

Eighty per cent of these Sinking

is correct. Drink is responsible for
their being born foxes and wolves and
not men. responsible for the degreda-
