FREIGHT INCREASE BEING OPPOSED
Clifford Thorne Representing Livestock, Grain and Oil Ship pers at Hearing Before the Interstate Commerce Com mission,- Challenges Comptroler of the Currency Will jams to Appear Support of His Efforts Have the Railroads Obtain Higher Rates

cation of the fabric of rates to meet
 these new conditions has become inn
 perative. You seem to overlook two
 very salient facts: first, the purpose
 of the surplus. over one thousand mil lion dollars, which our railroads have
 been permitted to accumulate during
 the past 25 or 30 years; and second,
 the enormous increase in traffic dur ing the past few years.
 Ut is true that the cost of labor
 and of railroad supplies has gone up;
 but it is also true that there has been such 6 remarkable increase in traffic that over and above all these added expenses, American railroads as a whole during the fiscal year ended June 30. 1917, earned net more than in any other year, with only one ex- ception in their entire history.
 "The Interstate Commerce CCmmis- sion on June 2s, 1917, rendered their decision in the Is per cent. case. The record showed that the eastern rail- roads as a whole lasht year earned over ten and 8 half per cent. on all their capital stock: this was net above all expenses. above all taxes and above all interest on bonds and debt. And yet the commission gave these eastorn carriersc an advance of ap- rroximately s100, 900, 900. Last year 1 nas a phenomenal year and the com mission undoubtedly anticipated a de- cline to some extent. especially during \ the coming winter. You cannot have | a peak year every year. This never | has been and never will be in any | industry on earth. A careful esti mate of future earnings was made by ! the commission and the amazing fact | has developed since that decision, that l the actual net earnings Of these east ern railroads, instead of falling be- I low or equalling, have actually ex- ceeded the expectations of the com | mission. This fact will be conclusive ! iy established in record.
 Tn this wild scramble for profiteer- i Ing and in the constant placing of ad- ditional tax burdens of all kinds and character, aggregating hundreds and even thousands of millions of dollars. upon the American people, would it not be wise to be sure Of your ground | before recommending an additional f tax equivalent to five per cent. on an- ! ether billion dollars to be paid by the l shippers of this country?
 | Before reaching conclusions . it would be well for you. as well as oth- CT public officials, to learn to wait until you have heard both sides. 1 Most respectfully yours.
