SEES THREE NEEDS
FOR RAILROADS
Higher Rates, Market for Sc
curities, Less Tax, Says
Traffic League Man.

Endorsement Of substantial freight
rate increases for the railroads of the
country was laid before the Interstate
Commerce Commission today by r. c.
Fulbright of Houston. Tex. represent
ing the Southwestern Industrial Traf-
fic League.
Rate increases. however. will not
solve the nations transportation prob
lens. Mr.. Fulbright maintained, nor
is the full 81 per cent increase asked
by the western roads necessary, he
said.
Cites Three Problems.
Three problems face the railroads
of the country. Mr.. Fulbright de-
clared. First, he said, the labor prob
lem must be disposed of and in-
| creased rates are not going to solve
this question under existing condi-
tions. The conditions must be
changed, he asserted.
Rates making is not going to solve
the revenue problem of the roads, he
declared. because the root Of the
revenue lies in the market for rail-
read securities. Increased rates will
not create a market for the securi-
| ties, he said.
Finally there is the problem of tax
discrimination against the railroad
securities of today, Mr.. Fulbright
l COntenQeQ. investors III RAILROAD Sc
curities, he declared. are burdened
with heavy surtax, and normal tax.
which reduces the return on the in
vestment to only or per cent.
Municipal securities and liberty bonds
on the other hand, he said, which are
tax free, compete successfully against
railroad securities for the investors
favor.
Retards Sale Of Stocks.
Tax discrimination partially &C
counts for the stagnation in the rail-
road market Mr.. Fulbright argued.
but other factors contribute. such as
the dumping Of. foreign-owned secu-
rites on the American market.
The mere fact that rates are in
creased will not solve the tax dis
crimi nation problem, Mr. Fulbright
declared, but II the railroads would
use the same diligence, he asserted.
in getting tax discrimination removed
| by legislation that they are using in
seeking increased rates their difficult
| ties would be removed.
