RAILROADS DEFEND
RATES ON LIVESTOCK
Declare Freight Charges Do
Not Vitally Harm Industry.

WASHINGTON. July 15.-Present freight
rates have no relation to the condition
of the livestock industry in the West,
Kenneth F. Burgess, representing the
railroads, declared to-day before the
Interstate Commerce Commission, in
oral argument on the shippers plea for
relief, in which State utilities commits
sions have intervened.
Previously representatives of the live
stock interests had declared that the
rates were destroying the West and
would result in the railroads being
among the worst sufferers in the end.
THE railroads should not be allowed to
sacrifice the future of the West on the
altar Of present revenues" S. H. Cowan
of the American Livestock Association
said.
Rate reductions asked by the shippers
amount to $34,000.000 year, which
would be but one-half per cent. OF the
total value at the market of the live
stock shipped on Western roads. Mr..
Burgess declared. While the value OF
livestock on the farm in 1920, he added,
ad suffered Gefation of $4,000 900.
the freight rate increased In that year
on the Western roads was only SASS, 900.
Discussing yesterdays report Of ex-
aminrr Disque, which held that the rates
on livestock we're low from transpor-
tation standpoint, but because OF the
conditions prevailing in the industry
they are high from an economic stand
point, Mr.. Burgess said.
"The economic standpoint represents
a new test Of reasonableness unknown
to the law. without giving any measure
70 tell what would be reasonable. and II
YOU find. rs the examiner does. that
these rates are reasonable. from n trans
portatlon standpoint. | challenge your
jurisdiction 10 reduce them"
Under the law. he argued. rates on
one class .,f traffic could not be de-
crea sed so rs to throw n burden on the
other classes OF traffic
During the argument Chairman Clark
asked whether there was anything in
the record OF the case to show that the
benefits OF q reduction OF rates would 60
to the producer. Clifford Thorne repre-
senting the American Farm Bureau
Federation. said II was possible the re-
tailers might endeavor TO seize all the
benefit. but added that there was prece-
dent 10 show that reductions I'm freight
rates have been OF direct benefit to the
producer.
