Railroads Plead
For Rate Increase

Practically all railroads in the state
of Oregon have asked the Public Serv-
ice Commission for blanket increase
of Is per cent in intrastate freight
rates. both class and commodity, The
carriers claim they need the addition
al revenue to meet their increased
cost of living, which has jumped tre-
mendously. A similar request has
been made upon the Interstate Com
merce Commission as to the inter-
state rates, and that body has already
taken a great deal of testimony on
the subject, and the railroads are TAX
ing the same action in every state.
The claims of the railroads are sum-
married. as follows: "The plain facts
are that the railroads expenses have
been mounting up while their rates
have been either stationary or, as in
most cases. reduced instead Of in
creased The carriers are unable to
increase their rates except by permis-
sion from the various commissions,
and in that respect they differ from
other lines of industry All other
manufacturers, jobbers, merchants,
farmers and others have been able to
cope with their increased expense by
raising their prices. The railroads,
restricted by law, have been unable to
do this, yet the increases in the cost
of supplies, equipment and everything
else that the railroads use land they
are large purchasers) have been as
great as those confronting any manu-
facturer or any other person engaged
in business. One Of the principal
items of expense to the railroads is
that of labor, the cost of which has
risen tremendously.
"The Is per cent Increase in freight
rates which the railroads ask is not
nearly sufficient to meet their in
creased expense; in other words, their
increased cost Of operation and exist
ence has been so great that the entire
revenue they will receive from Is
per cent advance will not nearly off
set their increase in expenditures. II
allowed all that they ask, the carriers
will still have to take care Of the ex-
cess in necessary expenditures by re-
ducing passenger service, deferring
betterments and improvements and a
general curtailment in every direc-
ton
"a condition of war exists that de-
mands additional facilities and great
ly increased service. The railroads
are needing more cars than ever and
will continue to need more il they are |
to keep pace with the growing COM
merce of the country and growing
war movements.
"As examples of the increases In
railroad expenses since the fiscal year
ending June. 1916, the following is
cited:
Locomotives now cost 90 per cent
more; freight cars now cost so per
cent more; passenger cars now cost
so per cent more.
"Taxes have been steadily increas-
