Freight Rates Go D0t0n

Freight rates have never been
harmful to the nations progress
says the Commercial and Financial
Chronicle. And over a period OF
years rail charges have always de-
clined more or advanced less than
the price of commodities.
This should help to lay the ancient
fallacy that the cost of transporta-
tion is burden on Industry and the
consumer.
The largest advance In freight
rates in American history occurred
late in 1920. In 1921, the freight rate
was ,26.1 per cent higher than in
1Ss5T-while the wholesale price OF
all commodities was TIA per cent
higher. BY December 81. 1886. the
average freight rate was 3.6 per
cent. lower than IN 1SS5-while the
average wholesale price of commod-
tiles was 5l.8 per cent higher.
This 15-year record is indicative
of the trend of freight rates In their
relation to commodity costs ever
since the railroads became a major
factor in transportation. Today, the
cost OF. Transporting goods is less, on
