Scarcity Of Wood

dreds of inland cities and towns, for
the first time in their history, will get
a fair deal from the transportation
companies. The bill passed the SEN
ate at the last session, but was lost
In the House owing to the pressure of
war matters and the congestion which
developed during the closing weeks.
1t is believed, however, that q large
majority of the members favor Its
adoption.
In an interview today, Major Gen.
eral William NJ. Black said:
"The Poindexter bill is long step
in the right direction. The abuses
connected with railway freight rates
first attracted my attention in connec-
ton with army work. In fact, there
is no question but what the present
railroad tariffs constitute one Of the
grossest impositions ever practiced
in this country.
"The tariffs for freight are still
based upon the old principle of charg-
ing all that the traffic will bear, a
relic of the days of unregulated mo-
nopoly. The railroads have practical
ly driven water transportation out Of |
business in many parts Of the coun-
try, by making low cut rates at COM
petltive points where water carriers
were trying to do business. Then
they made UP the losses by overcharg-
ing in other localities where there was
no such competition. The system was
a distinctly selfish one devised for the
greater prosperity Of the railroads
and involved the exercise Of autocratlc
powers which do not rightfully belong
to common carriers of goods.
"Water transportation can be re-
vived in many parts Of the United
States as result of proper regulation
of railway freight charges. There
are many classes of freight which
might profitably be sent by water to
the benefit Of the railroads them
selves"
