 mics" They are:
 Stop tho use of common carrier poses of highways built with pub- moneys without adequate tolls and per regulations.
 Make inland waterways built or
 roved at public expense carry
 nAlYcs as to interest on cost and
 ance by regulating the com Vyarrier traffic on them and by osing adequate tolls.

 iid be sufficient to pay interest on
 cost. operating expenses and
 ntenanec.
 |po not deprive trans-continenta Fiers Of coast-to-coast traffic by c,dbiy enforcing a strict long and 'rt haul clause"
 Fr. Kruttschnitt read a prepared
 ement which opened with the as-
 lon that freight rates were not re- |nsiblo for business depression.
 Nidespread propaganda is being 1fed on to arouse public sentiment Inst existing freight rates" ha
 The fact Is that even since

 ''The government having strangled the railroads into something like bankruptcy" he concluded, "at last removed its hands and permitted sudden increase in rates that should have been gradual and started at least 12 years ago.
