RAILWAYS OF SOUTH ARE NOW

THAN EVER BEFORE
COMMERCE AT HIGH TIDE
Number of Cars Loaded in July and
August Shows increases
Over 1919 and 1918

Washington, D. C.-All records have
been broken by the railway of the
South in the movement of the high
tide of commerce that continues
throughout the territory served by
them. according to figures, covering
the movement of cars Of commercial
freight loaded during the six weeks
period from July eleventh to August
twenty-first, announced today by the
Car Service Commission of the Amer
lean Railroad Association.
During each week of the six weeks
period there were loaded at stations
on the railways of the South more cars

ed during the corresponding week of
either nineteen nineteen or nineteen
eighteen. The total number of cars
loaded during the six weeks this year
was 795,397 as against 716,294 for the
same period in 1919 and 737.904 in
1918 when every nerve was strained to
move the traffic incident to the war.

What Becomes Of the Revenue De.
rived From Recent Advance
in Railway Rates

Since the recent order of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, author
izing the railways of the country to
advance freight rates and passenger
fares. came only few days after the
award of the Railway Labor Board,
giving increased wages to certain
classes of railway labor, there has
been a tendency in some quarters to
confuse the two. A few days ago a
Southern editor was asked: IF the
railway employees receive an increase
in wages amounting to $625,O00,0O0
and rates are advanced so as to yield
$1,5O0, 900, 100000 what becomes of the
difference?"
The difference goes to help the rail
ways meet previous increases in
wages which were granted by the
United States Railroad Administration,
10 pay increased prices for fuel, cross
ties, bridge timber, steel rails and 9TH
er materials of which the railways use
large quantities and, after paying
these increased costs, to yield fair
return on the value Of the railway
property, devoted to transportation
purposes. Such a return is absolute
ly necessary if the railways are to be
able to attract new capital. This
must be had to provide the additional
facilities which are badly needed 10
country over. but particularly in the
South where there has been such
great increase in commercial activity.
The petition of the railways for in
creased rates was filed in May, long
before the award of the Labor Board,
and showed that at that time many
railways were rot earning their oper-
atins expenses. After the award OF
the Labor Board was announced. the
railways filed supplemental petition
ASKING further Increases 10 meet the
additional expense and the decision Of
the Commission was rendered after
considering both petitions.

Knows How to Grow Corn.

Mr.. D. Allen Reighiey wants to
convince US that man can come
from; the country TO- town: and live
awhile here and then go back to the
farm and do the things necessary to
be done there by bringing to this Of
flee several cars of very fine corn.
But then you know that he did not
remain in town long enough to take
the hayseed out of his hair as Presl-
dent Derrick would say. At any
rate he seems to know how to grow
corn and the pity is that more of our
farmers have not long ago learned
the same lesson.

RAILWAY WAGE AND RATE INCREASES
That Six Per Cent Return

In many quarters there seems to re.
main some misunderstanding as to
the provision of the Transportation
Act of 1920 which makes it the duty
Of the Interstate Commerce Commis.
sion to authorize rates which will
give the railways Of each section OF
the country fair return on the value
of their property, devoted to transpor-
tation purposes, and, for the two
years following the passage Of the
Act, set the reasonable return" at
1-2 percent with another 1-2 percent,
TO be devoted to improvements, at the
option of the Commission.
Some persons have gotten the idea
that the Transportation Act guaran-
tees the railway companies six per-
cent on their stocks and bonds. The
fact is that the Act says nothing about
any return on capitalization and no
railway is guaranteed anything. The
volume of stocks and bonds which any
railway company may have outstand.
ing will have absolutely no effect on
the return it will receive.
While the Act makes it the duty Of
the Commission to authorize rates
which will give the railways of each
section an aggregate fair return on
the aggregate value of their property,
there is no assurance that any indi-
vidual railway will get return Of
six percent on the value OF its prop
erty. or any return at all. What it
will get will depend on the business
it secures and the efficiency with
which that business is handled.
Under the new rates, il a railway
earns more than six percent, it must
divide the surplus with the govern
ment: il il earns less than six percent
or earns nothing at all. the loss falls
on its owners.
