testifying at the Interstate Commerce
Commission hearing on the apphca-
ton of Western roads for per
cent increase in freight rates. Chair
man c. Il. Aitchison stopped the wit
ness when he attempted to draw con-
illusions from his statement.
Mr.. Baldwin differed with previous
railroad witnesses who held that
northwestern roads needed deferential
treatment. He said the southwestern
roads were not earning enough for
needed new equipment and were pay
ing heavy taxes.
Mr.. Baldwin said the taxes of his
road in 1921 were S19,000,000 and in
1924 S24,000000. he listed several
other western roavs which had paid
few dividends or none in the last 10
years.
THE present 1nternational-Great
Northern" said Mr.. Baldwin, began
operation November so. 1922, and has
as yet declared no dividend. The
Texas and Pacific railway passed out
of receivcrship in 1924 and paid a
dividend for that year of 5 per cent
on preferred stock. The present Gulf
Coast Lines commenced operation
March l, 1916, and paid first divi-
dcnds in 1920.
These lines make up considerable
portion of southwestern mileage"
