"Why An Advance in Rates Will Be
Necessary"

The extent to which railway ex-
penses have increased within recent
years is strikingly illustrated by
some statistics given in an editorial
in a current issue Of the Railway
Age.
1T was in the railway fiscal year
1911, that Louis D. Brandeis made
famous the proposition that by sci
entific management the railways
could save one million dollars a day.
At that time the operating expenses
Of the railways were $5,250.0o0 a
day. wages being 1891, 900 a day.
Six years later. In the last month Of
private OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 1917
operating expenses had increased to
sS,120,000 a day. wages being $780,
600 day. One year later In the last
month Of government operation for
which we have wage statistics
January. 1s1s-operating expenses
had grown to $11.300.000 4 day.
wages are still about the same per
day as they were in January. 1t will
be noted that the increase in expen-
ses per day in the six years 1911 to
1917 was $2.s7o.000. while in the sin
gle year 1918 it was $3,1S0.000.
1T is chiefly due to this enormous
increase in expenses that in the first
four months Of 1919 the railways
earned only % per cent as much net
operating income as they earned in
the three years on which the govern
ment guarantees to the companies
were based. 1t Is sometimes con-
tended that the losses the givern-
ment is now suffering are chiefly due
to the heavy decline in the movement
Of freight traffic.
THE Railway Age gladly comedies
the superiority Of private manage
ment, but the reduction in expenses
which the companies would have to
effect in order to make both ends
meet would be at the very least one
third Of a billion dollars a year. and
in the absence Of an increase Of traf-
fic would be about three -fourths Of
a billion dollars. We submit that
those who contend that the railway
companies can in a very brief time
reduce expenses so enormously. do
too great honor to private manage
menf.
why not page Mr.. Brandeis? If
ever there was q time when the saw
ings he said could be affected were
needed, it is now"
Supposing the movement Of freight
were largely increased under the
present government regime Of whole
sale waste and reckless disregard Of
cost, where would the increase in ex-
penses go? Would they double

Do you Want Prohibition Repealed
Have you sent any word to, your
senators or representatives in Wash
inston concerning repeal Of war pro-
hfbition? Have you received any
services from the liquor interests
that cause you to feel friendly
toward them or to desire to make
any further concessions to them? Do
you agree with the President in his
message to Congress. when he rec
commended repeal Of the war pro-
visions, a. though the life. intelli-
gence, morals and activities Of the
American people were Of less impor-
lance in peace than in war? II pro-
hibition was a good thing and neces-
sary to success in war. it Is not Z
good thing and necessary to success
in peace?
Let Congress understand that you
have no sympathy. with President
Wilson's weak submission to the
booze crowd: Do you know what
thinking men. statesmen and scien-
fists not receiving income from the
liquor trafnc, are saying? Here are
a few quotations gathered by the
Union Signal:
Senator Sheppard said in regard to
the Presidents recommendation: II
am not IL favor Of It. We have
yielded as much as could be expected
and feel we have given every posi-
BILE concession we could give and
be consistent with the principle In
volved. The date Of effectiveness
was set much further ahead than we
desired, merely to meet the wishes Of
those who thought differently on the
subject. There is no additional con-
cession that can be made now"
Senator Jones Of Washington. ex.
pressed his views as follows: II will
resist~the recommendation to the ut
most of my power. What we plan
to do is to put through a law that
will enforce the provision. We never
got any assistance from the Presi-
dent in the past in this matter, and
he cannot tell US what to do Now"
Senator Sherman of Illinois. said:
Il am against the recommendation.
I am a dry. Let it alone. II that's
all the President wants, he had bet
ter stay in Paris where he can get
it,
Bishop William F. Mcdowell, Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. ex-
presses himself as follows:
Evidently the President has given
hasty and superficial consideration
to the question. The message does
not ring with the kind of moral note
that such a paragraph ought to have.
OF course. the recommendation is abb
solutely on the wrong side. The
President has weakly yielded a point
where he ought to have been firm.
In lame and evidently halfhearted
fashion he tries to take a backward
step and asks the country to do it
with him. And. Of course the coun-
try will not. The country ought not.
He suggests that rehabilitation has
progressed to such a point. it seems
to him entirely safe now to remove
the ban. Rehabilitation might be
completed and the last man now In
uniform be out Of uniform. but that
would be no reason for reversing the
decision of the country against wine
and beer. The President will dis
cover that he does not speak for the
United States. He must be made to
understand that he does not do it.
The friends of temperance in Con-
gress must be acked by friends OF
temperance in the country at large
to prevent this latest advice Of the
President from being put into effect"
