WHO GETS
THE DIFFERENCE?

MANY consumers arc noting that
while hogs are selling for much less
Wholesale, yet the consumer Is get
ting little benefit. The farmers gets
five cents a pound more for his hogs
than no did five years ago But
the consumer pays 81 cents more for
pork. Who is getting it. asks mil
lions of people.
1t is easy to enumerate the num-
her of people who are getting 1t.
1. The provision man pays more
Tor his labor, and all his expenses,
and he charges II To the consumer.
2. Railroad freights had to 20 up
to pay for increased cost OF labor and
materials. These are charged to the
consumer.
3. The provision man has had TO
pay income taxes. These I'm n great
many cases are added to the cost OF

THE RAILROADS IN
PRIVATE HANDS

THE return of the railroads to
the control of Their owners pleases
the great majority of the people. The
arrangements, however, must remem-
Der they are on trial. There were
many abuses under private control
before. The officials must do their
best to give good service, to give
shippers and the travelling public all
reasonable accommodation.
They can only make good by man
Nesting a sincere desire to please,
and by persistence and diligence in
attending to all complaints:
The big problem is whether the
railroads can get the money to i'm
prove their facilities. Several billions
should be at once invested in rail-
road improvements
The president of the Minnesota
Highway association, says the wheat
growers of that state alone lost $751;.
Sl1 500 by lack of sufficient cars to
move the last wheat crop.
Practically all the people who have

invested in railroad securities during
the past ten years, have lost money
heavily on them due to the fact that
their earnings were limited by the
government, while their expenses in
creased without limit.
Before putting any more money
into railroad securities, investors
want to feel that the public will
permit them fair dividend. Thero
are OF course objections to the idea
of guaranteed dividends But If the
government had limited the earnings
that the roads could make, and at the
same time given no protection against
losses, any man would be a fool to
put money into railroad bonds or
stocks. Such a policy would have
made private operation a failure
from the first day because the money
for improvements could never have
been raised.
A policy of absolute honesty and of
earnest work for good service on the
part of the arrangements, will do
much to place railroad operation on
a better basis.
