Wnr Tax Upon tho Simmer

a FEW days ago the Interstate Commerce
Il Commission granted horizontal in
crease of . per cent upon all commodities
carried by the railroads in the Eastern terri
tory. The announcement of this action went
almost unnoticed The country seems either
to have been indifferent to the additional bur-
den laid upon 1t OF else failed to comprehend
the meaning of al order, far-reaching in Its
extent and destined to add heavily to the
cost OF most OF the things which we eat,
wear and use.
Three or four years ago the Interstate
Commerce Commission had under conSidcra-
ton petition from the railroads asking for
authority to put into effect blanket per
cent increase in freight rates bitter con-
test took place this. and before it was
terminated the whole country became alb
sorbed in the matter. Security markets hung
brcathlessly upon the decision of the COM
mission. Congress rcsounded with debates
upon tho merits OF the railroads proposal.
The newspapers printed columns OF test-
mony, and when the verdict finally came, it
tho great sensation of tho day.
year or so later the railroads appeared
again in court with more ambitious pro-
gram They warned 10 per cent raise in
rates measure which alone woul! save
most OF them from financial ruin. Again
the country took keen interest in the pro-
cecdng. Again it bitterly fought by
the shippers, and again it was n matter Of
controversy in every corner Of the land
decision generally adverse to the railroads
was rendered in the second, in the first
case, although railroad income material
~ increased each time.
Few people knew that the Interstate Com
merco Commission had under consideration a
third rate increase War has so completely
monopcliZcd the attention OF the country
that all minor governmental activities have
been showed to the back ground. But it is
now realized that this body has been pre-

shipper. meaning that ii will be paid by the
consumer. 1t will be passed along just

There is no purpose In this discussion to
question the merits OF this decision. 1t was
no doubt found necessary, Notwithstanding
the fact that the railroads have more bust
ness nOw than they can haul, and notwith-
standing Tic further fact that government
control has effected enormous economies. 1t
IS quite evident that tho public had no voice
whatever in the conclusions which the com
mission has reached. III effect, the increase
now ordered was based upon evidence that
must have been moro or less OK parte. Only
the fact that this body IL the past has been
