ARE THE RAILROADS ASKING
TOO MUCH7

The greatly increased earnings of
the railroads of late should cause the
public to give close scrutiny to their
claims for increased rates before the
interstate commerce commission. While
the hearing is on at Washington the
railroads are planning for an increase
of interstate rates throughout the west,
asking In Montana, for instance, an in
crease of Is per cent. Before the
Interstate commerce commission, Cliff
ford Thorne, a very capable lawyer and
a student of railroad rates for many
years, made the statement that at the
most the railroads were entitled to an
increase Of less than per cent. 1t
would seem that careful investigation
should be had before an increase of
IL per cent is allowed in Montana and
we hope that the shippers. farmers
and business men who are interested
In this matter will spare no pains to
make their case clear when the hear
commission on June IA.
The gross earnings of the railroads
for the first two weeks in May amount
ed to sl7029,s13, gain of about 1l.3
per cent as compared with the same
weeks a year ago. The New York
Journal of Commerce says that further
success with which the railroad man.
ayers have expedited the movement of
trade is shown by the fact that the
earnings of practically the same roads
for the first two weeks in May last
year showed an increase of 1876 per
cent over the corresponding year of
1915.
1t is true that operating expenses
have greatly increased and that the
Adamson law providing for increased
wages is now in effect, but it is also
true that there have been successful
efforts in economy in many directions
while the earnings have increased.
The Spokesman Review recently shot
a few holes in the claims of the Union
Pacific for a misleading defense fol-
the proposed IS per cent increase asked
for before the interstate commerce
| commission. The railroad admitted
that this increase would add $375.000,,
900 to the revenues of the American
railroads. This money, of course, is Il
come from the shippers. The sum o
$477,OO0.O00 was said to be an esti
mated incSease in expenditures for thu
i year. Later it was learned that $225,
5000 OF that sum was for rails ant
new equipment which should not hav'
been charged to increased expense o
operation. There was charge of $72
100000 for locomotives, one of $l8,
100000 for passenger cars and TO
freight cars sos, 100000.
1t does not seem fair to the public
to give a blanket increase of rates L
cover this enormous expense under tn
heading of increased expense of oper

Into these plans have come almost the
entire Christian proposition, save only
the Roman Catholic church one Of
the two bodies which the Auglicaus

desire is explained by the matter OF
