A Point in Illustration

Policy chuckles over one story that
illustrates this condition. The New
Haven pioneered in the bus field when
people began riding model Is instead
of trains and along with some COM
petitors, operated between Boston and
New York. Eventually there were 10
lines on this route. The fare was 81
though Policy is certain even now that
it should have been SIS.
"Well," he continues, another fell
low decided he wanted to run a bus
line. l said sure, come on in; the
waters fine. We're all losing money
already anyway. Well" 1t seems
the budding transportation genius
made his entry and decided that So
was enough for ride from Boston
to New York, or vice versa. There was
only one way to meet challenge of
that sort, and it wasn't long until a
merry little rate war was in progress.
By the time fares dropped to ground
floor level the new threat was
quashed, but the then New Haven
head is convinced that there is not
much percentage in a proceeding-or
series of proceedings-of that sort.
So he's glad to see the bus-truck
business moving toward sterilization.
And that leaves as the next objec-
tive the water carriers.
An Argument Guaranteed
Speaking kindly of "cheap" water
rates in the presence of railroad oper-
ators is as good a method as any of
getting into an argument. When they
marshal facts and figures about the
"hidden costs" represented by Federal
appropriations for waterways develop
ment, a bit of doubt is stirred as to
just how "cheap" the rates may be.
Now there's bill by Senator
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1936-02-20
Ask for an Even Break

business which could move by rail at a
lower real cost. In many instances,
failure to regulate effectively the
hours of service or conditions of safe
ty among such transport operators
has allowed them to hold down even
that part of their costs which they do
pay, often at the expense of safety.
AS to large part of their operations,
they have heretofore been allowed
complete freedom to make such rates
as would get the business, regardless
of determinations or preferences as
between persons or places.
"That railroads have been able to
stay in business at all under such I'M
equal conditions of competition, and
to do the major transportation work
of America, is due to the inherent SUI
periority of the rail method of haul
ing"
The emphasis laid on the safety fac
tor, by the way, is something more
than talking point" for in 1885
there was not single loss of life in
the millions of passengers carried by
the railroads.
Another point of attack by the rail-
roads-and Policy drew attention to
this also-is the long-and-short-haul
clause in the interstate commerce act
which makes rates between two dis
tant points conform to the aggregate
of those between it's intermediate
points, unless the Interstate Com
merce Commission authorizes excep-
tions. The Pettingill bill to knock this
| section out is on the House calendar
for action, with a favorable report
from the Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce, and the rail lines
are hopeful of passage. Here again
the waterways issue enters prominent
ly.
When this section, designed to help
intermediate communities, was put
into the act in 1910, Policy points out,
railroads were the only important
form of inland transportation.
"That was before the Panama Canal
was opened and before we had spent
billions of dollars on waterways and
highways. Today conditions are en-
tirely different. Other forms of trans
portation using these new publicly
built facilities are not restricted in
their competition by any long-and-
short-haul clause, nor is there any
thought of applying to them the re-
strictions which handicap the rail
roads in meeting competition.
Freight which moves between our
coasts by ship and the Panama Canal
or which floats on our improved inland
waterways, contributes nothing to in
terror of intermediate communities in
the way of pay rolls or taxes. Rail
roads, on the other hand, are en-
ployers and taxpayers wherever they
run.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1936-02-20

"While the elimination of the long
and-short-haul clause will allow rail-
roads more freedom in meeting COM
petition, it will not change the funda-
mental requirements of the interstate
commerce act that all rates shall be
reasonable and shall not unduly dis
criminate as between places or per-
sens"
II, this connection it was recalled
that the railroads have been getting
some support from the Interstate
Commerce Commission in their efforts
to throw off the long -and-short- haul
restrictions, most notably short time
ago, when rate parity was granted
with ships for the movement of citrus
fruit from Florida to the East. Such
changes require lengthy procedure,
whereas, under ordinary circumstan-
ces, railroads have the right to ini-
tiate, publish and file rates with the
l. C. C. before getting it's consent.
And that brings the subject around
to what the railroads are doing to
help themselves.
Points to Improvements
Improvements are all along the
line, Policy says. More attractive
service-the new speedsters appeal
particularly to him-is having it's
effect on passenger business, and
freight traffic last year showed a 20
per cent growth, the movement of
31.518,372 cars being the heaviest
since 1881. The 1. C. C. believes the
passenger decline has been checked.
Store-door pickup and delivery,
handled by unified truck-rail opera
ton, is spreading and boosting freight
business, he said, recalling that roads
in score of Southern and Western
States have just filed joint tariffs to
start service of this sort for less-than-
carload shipments this month. Truck

Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana, to
regulate the rates and services Of
domestic water carriers pending in
the Senate ard companion measure
in the House. Also, the Interstate
Commerce Commission has just rec
commended that it be empowered to
regulate the minimum rates of water
carriers in joint waterfall move
ments. The A. A. R. is for this pro-
gram.
Recently President Policy, in an
unusual letter "to those whose in
terest ir, railroads is more than cas-
ual," discussed the railroad outlook,
told what the carriers were doing to
rehabilitate themselves and urged
support for legislation that would
help the roads and, by the same token,
a fight against additional burdens.
Problem Covers Field
Regardless of the degree of eff
cheney which may be achieved by rail-
roads, they will not be able by them
selves to solve the so-called railroad
problem" he said. "In truth, it is
not a railroad problem. 1t is trans
portation problem to be solved finally
rot only by the efforts of the rail-
roads themselves, but also by the
correction policies which are at the
root of the trouble.
II say policies because we have
actually two contradictory public
policies. To one form of transport,
railroad, we say, in effect:
You shall pay all your own costs,
not only the cost of moving your
vehicles, but also the cost of preparing
the way on which they move. You
shall then pay taxes on both vehicles
and way, real taxes which go to the
support of the Government, not
merely contributions toward the cost
of furnishing the way you use. Should
Government aid you, it shall be by
way of secured loan, which must be
repaid with interest. All these costs
must be met out of the rates which
you are allowed to charge the users
of your service, and that service must
be rendered under conditions of strict
regulation in the public interest
Way Is Free for Others
Contrast this with the attitude Of
Government toward other forms of
public transport by highway, by water
way and by airway. They have no
problem of finding the money or the
credit with which to provide them
selves with a way on which their
vehicles may move. That is provided
for them and maintained for them,
out of public tax funds, at cost ex-
ceeding whatever they may pay as
taxes so-called. With so large a
part Of their costs of operation paid
from the public funds, these agencies
of transport are enabled to divert to
themselves considerable volume of
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1936-02-20

ing interests, by the way, are fight
ing it.
And here Policy interjects that "the
great reduction in the actual cost of
moving business in the past dozen
years is solid factor of major inn
portance" that must be considered in
any estimate as to the future of the
railroads.
In 1921 the average cost of hauling
a ton of freight thousand miles was
$10.78. By 1888 that figure had been
cut to $6.4a, though the volume was
down. Increase in wages and cost of
matreials has probably started the
curve upward again, he comedies, but
today's figure still is far under that
of 1921. Correspondingly, rates have
dropped, and where the average reve-
nue. for hauling a ton of freight one
mile in 1921 was 1.275 cents, now it
is under cent-"beyond comparison
the cheapest inland transportation for
the average of all commodities, over
all distances, between all points, in all
seasons and including all elements of
COST"
| But Other Costs Mount
But while the railroads are cutting
costs at one end, they are being piled
up at the other, and this is dis
turbing situation, President Policy en-
phasizes.
The pension act, once thrown out
by the Supreme Court, re-enacted and
now challenged anew by the rail-
roads, will add about $54,OOO,OOO an
nually to their expenses. The social
security program also will take it's
toll, while the 6-hour day, train limit,
and "full crew" bills carry a new
threat, he adds.
"These bills are being passed as
measures of safety" he says, cal
though their obvious intent and effect
would be to make work. on the rail-
roads" He estimates that pending
measures of this sort would raise OPP
Grating costs by as much as billion
dollars a year-a load that could not
be carried in the most prosperous
times.
Rail employment has been dwin-
ding and additional curtailments are
a possibility as unifcation or aban-
donment of lines progresses, creating
a problem that the railroads and
labor are now trying to iron out.
Progress here is problematical, but
Policy says every effort will be made
to reach a satisfactory adjustment.
Federal Ownership Discounted
And as for recurrent talk of Gov
eminent ownership-he has no fears.
The theory, he believes, has more
of a political than economic back
ground, for, he adds, no one ever has
come forward with an argument that
the Government could operate the
railroads cheaper than those now in
charge. Some investors, he continues,
have an idea that Government owner
ship would mean getting dollar for
dollar for their holdings. That would
not follow, Pelly emphasizes.
eve will not have Government
ownership" he said, "unless and until
private industry fails to maintain an
adequate transportation system-and
that will not happen Right now we
have a surplus of transportation"
He believes, too, the receivership
situation will be worked out all right,
although granting there will be fnan-
cial losses. Receiverships, he COM
ments wryly, are not new.
"You know"-Pelley leans back in
retrospect railroads are won
derful. Depression, fierce competition,
but stiM they're going. It's the finest
thing ever saw"
And it probably is.

the guards, John Ferguson, %, Of

The alleged beating occurred last

in the hospital, where he was a mental
patient.
Charges of assault were filed against
