RATE REDUCTION
Railroad Attorneys Fla unit
Claims ThatF armers Are
Facing Bankruptcy

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2. - Attor-
neys for the railroads and for the
shippers gave oral arguments before
thef interstate commerce commission
today at hearings en- the proposed re-
duction of freight rates on grain and
hay, the former arguing that reduc-
ton would throw many western roads
into bankruptcy. Attorneys for the
shippers declared that production
would be lessened and the roads
would suffer from reduced traffic, if
the present rates are continued.
r. II. Widdicombe, attorney for the
Chicago Northwestern, said asser-
tions that present rates would result
in a decreased acreage next year were
very speculative" Prices, he added,
were governed by supply and demand
and not by freight rates. The present
low prices for grain were due, he
said, to reduced exports as result
of conditions in Europe.
j. N. Davis. representing the Chica-
go, Milwaukee end st. Paul, said west
ern roads this year had expended
95.04 per cent of their revenues for
operating expenses, which, he added,
proved that there can be no general
reduction in rates."
Witnesses have shown, he said,
that the benefit to the farmer from
reductions asked would run from IS
to $65 year for each farmer. No one
will contend thatthis is a substantial
aid. But 25 per cent reduction would
cut the net return to LAP per cent"
The transportation system, the
speaker said, not only has its rate reg
llated, but a major portion of its op-
Grating expenses regulated by the gov
ernment agencies and in no case, un-
der present law, can the transporta-
tion company earn for itself a greater
return than 12 per cent. With the
farmer no such regulation exists. He
can often recoup his losses in fat
year.
