What the Railroads Collect.

In 1916, year Of normal conditions,
each person In the United States paid
$25 for railroad freight, bill of $125
annually for the average family.
Therefore each increase of % per cent
in freight rates above the 1915 level
means an increased per capita tax Of
$6.25. or an increased tax for each
American family of $31.25. Freight
rates have increased more than so per
cent since 1916, therefore the freight
bill for the average family is now
around 5000. all of which is paid in
directly. OF course. These figures are
worth studying before we again dip
into our pockets to help railroad
finances.
