Comparatively few persons: realize
the important part played by freight
rates in their struggle for economic
and financial success. They not only
do not realize how much they are af-
fected by these freight charges per-
sonally, but they know very little Of
just what these rates are, how they
are made or what they should be.
Freight charges, like many Of our
taxes, are paid in an indirect manner,
and for this reason the man who &c
tually or finally. contributes the money
does not even know it. a.

know that something over 601 Of the
total earnings Of the railroads in
