circles in Washington over the fact
that the railroad question has APP
parently been solved, so far as flnanc-
ing and the relations with the public
and the shippers are concerned.
Puts the Shoe on the Other Foot
Immediately following the Inter
state Commerce Commissions order
fixing permanent freight and passen-
ger rates, the cry went up that the
cost of living would be increased. AS
a matter of fact the railroads are re-
ceiving no more money under the de-
cision than they received before, the
difference being that the treasury of
the United States has been paying out
the peoples money to keep the car
riers going, as was provided in the
legislation returning the roads to pri-
vate ownership. So that every dollar
added to the cost of living is dollar
less to be paid in taxes-and the Lord
knows that there is nothing that needs
pruning down more than taxes. In
this instance the Government guar
anty was no better than a subsidy to
the roads, and was given in lieu of
their proper support by their patrons.
The condition would be much the same
if the government paid deficits for the
steel mills, coal mines, or any other
public-serving industry. Thus, by the
recent decision, the government will
be relieved of this guaranty after Sep
TENDER 1, and the amounts necessary
to pay return on the capital invested
in~railroads will be paid by those who
receive railroad service rather than by
the tax payers.
$600,000,000 of the increased
revenues will be required to pay in
creased wages, and about 5000, 100000
is left toward net operating income,
which with the 5000, 100000 earned by
the roads during the constructive year
ending October 81, 1919, on which
their estimates were based, would pro-
duce the $1,100,000,000 to which the
Commission finds the roads are en-
titled under the law.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1920-08-12
THE NATIONAL CAPITOL
(Bv j. e. Jonesl
The Interstate Commerce Decision

The Interstate Commerce Decision
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion's rate decision is one of the most
important events that has occurred
since the war, inasmuch as it seeks to
Mace the railroads of the country on a
strict business basis that will enable
them to operate and maintain their
properties, pay their workmen the
wages that have been fixed by Govern
nent and other official tribunals, and
return to their owners net operating
income Of six per cent on valuation
OF $4,000, 100000.
Naturally, the biggest question in
our, industrial and economic life, has
been the settlement of the transpor-
tation tangle. After months of CON
slant study, the Commission has made
a disposition of matters that covers all
questions of financing the carriers
The railroad deficit of approximately
SIZE, 100000 a month, which has been
met by taxation of the public, is wiped
out, and the increased charges to ship
pers places the burden where it be-
longs. In other words the taxpayers
load is lightened and the shippers find
that their rate has been raised the a.
mount necessary to meet all financial
requirements of the roads. Thus, for
the first time since the railroads of the
country have been under public con-
troll, they are in a position to sustain
themselves, and at the same time the
rates that have been fixed have been
made by decision of the Commission
after hearing shippers representing
every industry in the country, all OF
whom have agreed that the time is at
hand when the intent of the Transpor-
tation Act to make the railroads stand
on their own resources, must be put
into effect, since it represents the only
common sense course.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion decision is supported by the
