PAUL, Minn., Dec. 10.--"No greater contribution has been made to the jobbing interests of this country in the past few years than that made by the railroads in ex-- pedited transportation service," said C. D. Morris, of Chicago, in an ad-- dress before the Sales Managers As-- sociation here recently. "Complaints of merchandise delayed in transit are now seldom heard, whereas they were once the chief source of annoy-- ance to the average sales manager. No matter what the character or quality of merchandise ordered, a delay in its delivery goes a long way toward making a dissatisfied cus-- tomer out of an otherwise satisfied and happy one. _ "More progress has been made by the railroads in the past few years in providing the country with prompt and adequate service than had previously been made in many years," continued the speaker, who represents the Western Railways' Committtee on -- Public Relations, "and we are today enjoying the ben-- efits growing out of the years of ef. fort the carriers have been making to meet the responsibility to the public under which they rest. In-- deed, much of the prosperity that has come to American business in the past year, has been due to the good service the railroads have been providing and will continue to provide in the year to come. "Much of the railways' progress that has been made in recent years, has been due to the law under which the carriers were treturned to private operation after the war. ?ll law, while in no sense per-- ect, provides a more nearly fair ud.,{t'ut rule of regulation tharn any legisiation respecting transporta-- tion ever enacted by an American Congress. It was designed to re-- move the railroads from political control and to leave their regulation as nearly as possible, in the hands of the Interstate Commerce Com-- mission, a body of competent and experienced business men. To the credit of Congress it can be said that. since the Transportation Act nf 1920 became a law, it has re-- fused to interfere with the commis-- sion in its regulatory woark. noatwith-- rvie.bo.gnh'lke. 19th. g.u-d-v,ltdé!l'lvw | THINKS 1T'S POOR } |eusmess To Do | YoUuR WASH M | CITIZENS BANK BUD.DING WEDNESDAY SATU&DAY OAK TERRACE LAUNDRY IT IS GOOD BUSINESS--OUR SWEET AND CLEAN SERVICE Refinishing LAUNDRY Prairie Ave., Highwood, IIl PHONE 87 Libertyville 564--M.

The invest-- ment, however, was necessary in or-- der to provide the character of ser-- vice we have today. It will also be necessary to invest an even larger amount during the next five years if this service is to be continued. It is important, therefore, that the earnings of the railroads, which are somewhat improved this year, con-- tinue to improve to the end that railway credit may be stabilized. "Attempts at political or direct legislative regulation is always hurtful to railroad credit. Such reg-- ulation invariably results in reduced earnings and this is an inopportune time to reduce railroad revenues, particularly in the West. Western lines have never yet, succeeded in earning the rate the Interstate Com-- merce Commission estimates to be a fair one, namely, 5% per cent up-- on their valuation. While the earn-- ings of our western roads are some-- what improved this year, they are still far below what they should be in order to assure continued good and adequate transportation ser-- "An attempt is now being made to abolish the specia: charge made for travel in sleeping and parlor cars. The commission has made an exhaustive study of this charge, de-- clares it to be just and states that it should be continued. Our western roads receive aproximately 17 mil-- on dollars anngally from this charge. To abolish it by direct ac-- tion of Congress would be in viola-- tion of the fundamental principles of the Transnortation Act and wou'1 materially handicap the western roads in their efforts to meet tne in-- creasing traffic demands made unon them. Moreover, since o@r western passenger service, taken as a who'», costs more than it brings into the coffera of the railroads. it is nbhvious that if this special charce is ab»~ lished, the day when there cin be WHEN YOU BUY WEATHER STRIPS GET THE BEST It costs you more to be without weather stripping than it does to buy them.
