Director General Hines Says Rail-
road Transportation Costs
Are Lowest In History.
NOT CAUSE or HIGH PRICES.
Freight Advances Compared With Rise
In Value Of eoods-TransportatIon
Cheapest Thing Public Buys.
Charges on Some Articles.

Data complied from authoritative
sources shows that railroad freight
rates are the least factor in the cost
of living. Although the proportion of
the total cost of goods that can be
charged to transportation Is not known
with statistical accuracy, 1t is estimat-
ed that the average transportation cost
of things produced in this country is
a very small percentage Of their total
cost to the consumer.
Freight Cost "a Per Cent Of Total.
In letter to Representative John j
Esch, chairman of the House Commit
tee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce, julius Kruttschnitt, chairman
Of the Southern Pacific Company
points out that In the last FIVE years
the value Of goods increased on an av-
erage Of 500 a ton, while freight
charges advanced only 60 cents ton.
In five years, he explains, the aver
age value Of freight carried by the
railroads increased from 500 to $119
ton. The cost Of carrying this increas-
ed from 50 to $3.50, paid to the rail
roads. In 1914, he adds, SO per cent
Of the total cost Of the goods was
spent for transportation. In 1919 only
81 per cent was spent.
ain other words" Mr.. Kruttschntt
writes, "only so cents out of $63, or 1.3
cents out of every dollar.of increase in
value of commodities In 1919 was caus-
I'd by increased freight charges. The
responsibility for the remaining 5000,
or 98.7 cents out Of every dollar, must
be sought elsewhere. 1t was not caus-
ed by freight rates.
Rates Lowest In History.
Comparison with transportation
charges in other countries shows that
in no other country of the world is
transportation furnished at so low a
cost as in the United States. Compar-
ed, too, with the cost of other goods
and services today, railroad transporta-
tion is the cheapest thing the public
buys 1t is sold for less than the cost
of production, considering all the ele-
ments of cost.
In statement on this subject to the
New England Bankers Association
Walker D. Hines, Director General of
Railroads, said:
Il think 1t is a fair statement
that at the present time, despite
the increases which have taken
place in freight rates. a ton Of
steel or ton of coal, bushel Of
wheat or the unit of any other
commodity has TO pay for trans
portation a less percentage of the
price of that commodity than ever
before in the history of the coun-
try"

ROME TAKES BACK ITS OWN
Embassy in Eternal City Has
Deep Significance.

Today on the Capltoline, the small
est geographically, but historically the
most important of the famous seven
hills of Rome there is the sound of
hammering, the fall of masonry Here,
for many centuries, was centered the
religious and political activity Of the
Roman empire, and here in the last
half century Germany had established
herself imperially, residentially. In
the PaaZZO Caf1arelli, built near the
site of the great temple of Jupiter,
consecrated In b. G. 500, was the Ger
man embassy, with the throne of the
emperor Of Germany. Near at hand
was the German Archaeological insti-
tute, within its garden the famous
Tarpeian rock, TO be visited Of recent
years only by obtaining the key Of the
gate from the German authorities. On
the piazza, Romulus is said to have
founded his asylum and here in the
centuries before the Christian era, as
In the middle ages, home had the seat
Of her government. 1t was here that
rom house to house. from terrace to
terrace, Germany up to the year 1914
was steadily spreading her domains.
The statue of Marcus Aureius by
Michael Angelo was in the piazza of
the Capitolne, so also were those of
Constantine and his son, but there
was room for others. Today, however,
the palazzo Caffarelli with its six
teeuth-century architectural beauties,
and its Teutonic decorations, is being
removed from the capital in carts. The
authorities have decided that this sew
enth hill of Rome belongs to the past
of Italy and they seek beneath the
floors of the German embassy further
foundations of the great temple of
Jupiter built by Tarquin the superb,
that other last Of the kings.

REDUCED FREIGHT RATES
ON ALL ROAD MATERIAL

LITTLE ROCK, Jan S-W. b
Owens, Commissioner OF Highways
yesterday was notified by the Depart
ment at Washington that the special
rate OF 10 cents reduction on the
freight OF all material used in road
construction has been extended until
March /, 1920. At that time the rail.
roads will be, by Presidential order
turned back to the private owners
and further concessions will have to
come through other agencies.
The rate, which has been In effect
several months, was secured as the
result of personal appeal made to
the Railroad Administration in Wash.
ington, in behalf of highway construc.
ton. 1t is reduction of 10 cents a ton
net less than the published tariffs with
a minimum of 40 cents per ton.
