aggressons of the big town of the state They are

The only effective remedy for the conditions which

ALL THE TRAFFIC WILL BEAR.
CMsdford Mail.Trihune.l }

The Southern Pacific company made
81. .297 ,907 more clear profit in April
of this year than in the same month a
year ago, according to the company g
balance sheet made public today-and
last year was a record breaker.
The same comparative showing is
made by the other great railroad sys-
tens of the country. Yet these rail-
roads demand 15 per cent increase in
freight rates under the alleged excuse
that they face bankruptcy.
The railroads declare that the public
must be mulcted a billion year in order
to pay for the increased hundred million
wages given trainmen under the Adam
son S-hour law, yet the railroads have
not submitted any evidence to prove
their contention. The federal commits
sion appointed to ascertain facts have
not recommended an increase as yet.
The normal increase in business has
evidently more than offset any raise in
wages or the Southern Pacific and other
roads would not be breaking all records
in dividend paying The railroads want
the increase because it is always their
policy to charge all the traffic will
bear, and they figure that under the ex-
isting prosperity, the traffic viii bear
another Is per cent flat.
