How Does Il Hit Me2

How much more do the railroads get from you
as a result of the rate increases that went into
effect few weeks ago?
The examples shown below were picked from
articles and commodities you commonly buy sell.
Where it is something you buy, the increase is
shown from a common source of supply to one Of
the most distant points on the Great Northern in
Minnesota Where it is something you grow
and sell, the increase shown is from one of the
most distant points in Minnesota to market
where it is commonly sold. For these reasons, tho
increases shown are more than for other parts
of Minnesota.
SUIT OF cLoTTIEs-From III toll 1/2 cents from,
Chicago.
ovERALLS-From $40 to 3I5 cent from Chicago.
sHoES-From us to 2/3 cent pair from ST. Louis.
FRESH MEAT-No increase from South St. Paul.
FLOUR-No increase from Minneapolis.
GASoLINE-l/s cent a gallon from pipe line ter.
nninals at st. Observation-Disclosures
AUTO TIRES-3 3/s cents tire for a medium
weight car. from Akron, Ohio.
TRAcToR-ss.2o a tractor weighing tons from
Chicago.
CRAIN-From 1/3 to SIS cent a bushel to Mnneapo.
lis; 2/3 to us cents to Chicago.
CATTLE-No increase to South St. Paul; cents per
100 pounds to Chicago.
PoTATOES-sI5 cent q bushel to Minneapolis,
Us cents to Chicago.
The railroads asked for IS per cent increase in
freight rates in order to meet expenses which had
risen more than that during the last six years.
Labor costs, which consume nearly half Of
every dollar the railroads collect from you,
have increased about Is per cent since 1882.
They are higher today than ever before. Our
taxes have increased about 30 per cent since
1882. The average cost of our supplies and ma
teriais also is about 20 per cent higher.
To meet these increased costs, the railroads were
allowed freight rate increases which average only
about per cent.
In other words, we were permitted to charge
enough more to cover only about one-third of
our increased costs.
And with that partial relief the problem of making
both ends meet was laid back in our laps
Just how serious this problem is, can be
seen from the fact that the Great Northern's
actual operating expenses and taxes for the
first four months of this year, without include
ing anything for interest and other fixed costs,
were 81 1872 7 more than it received for the
transportation furnished.
