RAILROAD INJUSTICE

Railroad men are complaining that motor
trucks have taken much desirable freight from
steam transportation lines, and they want the
Federal government to tax freight hauling mos
tortrucks to the extent that it will make freight
hauling by trucks Improbable for shippers.
Shades of hades. What next may we expect
from the railroads? They have raised their
rates 80 high that railroad transportation Is out
Of the question in many instances The produc-
er has been shut out Of legitimate profits upon
his labor and his investment. The people in
general have been "held up for the last dollar
they possess by avaricious railroad managers,
and It has come to be fact that the railroads
must reduce their traffic rates or see the trans
portation business pass out of their hands to
the motor trucks
The high cost of transportation upon the
railroads has paralyzed the business of some
sections of the country, and especially that re-
mote from markets. The policy of the rail-
roads has been to charge all the traffic will
bear" and in arriving at the maximum they
have gone over the top and killed certain lines
of business or driven it to the use Of motor
trucks.
Not only have rates been raised, but the
careless handling Of freight and the slow ad-
justment of claims for damages, resulting from
the carelessness or wantonness of railroad en-
ployees has driven much business away from
the steam roads to truck lines where greater
care is taken of merchandise consigned to them.
IL the transportation business of the country
is drifting away from the railroads it is the
fault of the railroad management, and any &C.
ton on the part Of the roads to compel the peo-
pie to use railroad transportation, by placing
excessive taxation upon motor-truck lines will
be looked upon AZ an injustice, and the rail
roads will by such measures dig their own
graves deeper.
