FREIGHT RATES TOO HIGH

One of the great drawbacks to
business is the fact that freight rates
are so high that the shipper cannot
get profit out of anything after sett-
ling with the roads for the freight.
/ The railroads have boosted prices
on transportation so high that people
are using other means of transpor-
tation whenever possible, and the
railroads are losing much that under
more rational conditions would be
their. The freight rates are in some
sections rs per cent, higher than ex-
press rates. The present rates are
ruinous to producers. When it takes
two-thirds of the price of an article
to transport it from one State to an
other something is wrong.
The prices of all agricultural pro-
ducts are now very low. Freight
rates are so high that producers can
not afford to ship and conseq le~ tly
they are reducing production; Tor they
cannot afford to pay all or neatly ali
they get to the carrier.
Government control of the rail-
roads was a rank failure. Private
ownership, under existing conditions.
is stagnating business, and Unless a
freight rate is established that will
enable producers to live the railroads
will share in the common ruin.
If the railroads cannot get their
rates down to an equitable basis by
reducing running expenses they
should begin with their high-priced
officials and reduce their salaries to
a reasonable amount. If government
regulation of railroad traffic they are
needed to adjust the salaries of the
officials in high places.
The trouble with the railroads
seems to be that they are top-heavy.

and make him an offer of $500 fol-
the acres Of land just below the
City limits, being the same land for
merly occupied by the Rice Milling
Co, this land having a frontage on
the river.
The Mayor was further instructed
to reply to the Pierce Cooperage Co.
and advise them that we would en-
deavor to secur site and communi-
cate with them again later.
! The drainage committee appointed
by the Mayor to obtain prices on
different pumps and pumping units
repored that they had secured prices
OF several outfits. After some dis
cussion Mr.. Moritz moved that the
Mayor appoint a committee to in
vestigate these several outfits and to
select an outfit which in heir es
timation should be purchased by the
Town and to submit the outfit thus
selected for APPROVAL by the Board.
tbs motion was seconded by Mr..
McCrea, and received the. following
vote. Yeas, Mrs. M. D. Boatner. w.
McCrea, Charles Moritz, Geo. A.
Murray. Nays. G. P. Bulls.
The motion having received a ma
Jority vote was declared adopted ant,
the Mayor appointed a committee Of
three consisting of G. P. Bulls, w.
McCrea, and Charles Moritz.
The Supt. of the Electric Light
and Water plant advised the Board
that the pumping plant was not Civ
ing efficient service at present and
suggested that the canal from the
slough to the pump be thoroughly
cleaned out, and that he be author
lied to take down the pump and over
haul same. Some discussion was had
on this subject as to whether the
should be continued or shut
down for the time being. 1t was
pointed out however that the canal
would have to be cleaned out ether
at tbs tine or as soon as the new
outfit was installed, and that
would be better to dam up the canal
at the slough end and pump the
water out of the canal to allow same
to dry up before beng cleaned.
On motion by Geo. A. Murray sec
onded by W. McCrea, and passed
unanimously Mr.. Cross was instruct
ed to dam up securely the slough end
Of the canal, and Mr.. Vance was in
structed to pump out canal, after
which he was to thoroughly over
haul the pump.
There being no further business
before the board, the Meeting was
adjourned.
