mean operating loss. There is rate
level above which shipments are cut
down as low as possible, and below
which they are carried at a loss.
Senator Capper of Kansas warned
the senate the other. day that the coun-
try faces a choice between traffic
charges on live-and-let-hve basis and
return to government operation, if
not ownership. He cited the fact that
while there was shortage of half a
million freight cars six months ago
there are half a million idle freight
cars today-a condition he held to be
conclusive proof that lower rates must
precede business recovery.
Here is some of Senator Capper's
striking illustrations of how high rates
work out:
It costs SO cents to send a bushel of
wheat from Minneapolis to New York;
it costs only IL cents to send bushel
by sea from Buenos Aires to New
York.
Texas can send cottonseed cake for
cattle feed to Holland cheaper than to
Kansas.
A car of grain from the Texas Pan
handle cost $525 to get to market; it
brought only $475.
Galveston can ship a bale of cotton
to Germany for IS cents a hundred
weight; to ship the same cotton three
hundred miles by rail would cost 95
cents per hundredweight.
Cattle rates, Des Moines to Chicago
were % cents hundredweight in 1914;
they are 81 cents now.
Texas rice can be shipped by sea tc
Liverpool and back again to New
York cheaper than direct by rail to
New York.
Of course, the fcdaral transporta.
ton tax is part of the great burden
that could and should be removed
And for the sake of the railroads
themselves, no less than for that of
all who use the railroads, rates should
come down. They are more than the
traffic will bear.
It was the theory of the late James
j. Hill that low rates are good bust
ness all around, and that railroad
ought to put itself in condition by
low grades, large cars, powerful mo.
tive equipment, sound financing and
good organization to carry traffic as
economically as possible, in order that
it might run on low rates and thus
build up the territory which it served
and on which it lived.
In putting that theory into practice
Mr.. Hill developed the great northwest
and at the same time built up great
railroad system. We have gone toe
far from the Hill theory and practice
of railroading, and we shall have tc
come back.-Minneapolis Journal.

More Than the Traffic Will Bear,

Sentiment for general cut in
freight rates grows, not only among
shippers who find their business de-
pressed by the extra weight of trans
portation charges, but among railroad
managers of clear vision who per-
ceive that the rates are too high to
produce the largest possible net op-
Grating income.
The old test for ratemakcrs was,
What will the traffic bear? It was
early recognized that rate placed on
too high a level would so cut down
traffic that it might not prove profta-
bic, while a rate cut too low would
