TRANSPORTATION S _ COMPARATIVELY LOW commodity entering into expenses is a complete T the statement sometimes freight and passenger PBRBRTIT CCBCT 100 of the Western Railways‘ committee on public relations, in an address beâ€" fore the Englewood Business Men‘s association. "The truth is," continued the speaker, "that the prices of all commodities . have increased much more in the past fifteen years than has the price charged for transportaâ€" tion service, either freight or passenâ€" ger. Indeed, since 1911, transportaâ€" tion charges have increased about 48 per cent, while the wholesale prices of commodities in general have inâ€" creased an average» of 60 per cent. "The cost of operating & railroad has increased in the past fifteen years, just as has the cost of living, and from similar causes. This is what made an increase in freight and passenger rates necessary. \Vithouti this increase every railroad in the country would have been bankrupt,‘ while the people would have been c Mouedscenng passenger rates nece this increase every country would have forced to depend upon an inferior &NC unsatisfactory service. Chief Item "The chief item in increased operâ€" ating costs, making higher rates necâ€" essary, has been the increased railâ€" way labor bill. In 1911 the average annual wages paid railway employâ€" es was $729.98, while last year the average wage Was $1,675.52. _ The toâ€" tal labor bill in 1911 was $1,167,855,894 while last year it was $2,910,944,914. Certainly no intelligent person would e es "The fact that transportation Tates day are relatively lower than the rices we pay for almost any other 1 w NP qsns expect freight or passenger rates IN 1927 to be as low as they were in} 1911, when taking into consideration the increased size of the railway wage bill. "And what happened with respect to wages in the past fifteen years also happened with respect to taxes. In 1911 the Class I railroad paid $270,211 a day in taxes, while in 1926, the last vear for which we have official figâ€" 4 . M redliiiiamedpeier e ures, they paid $1,064,883 per day, an increase of about 300 per cent. Other f operating expenses have likewise inâ€"| creased during the same period, the| result being that, notwithstanding the increase in rates, ut railroads had a smaller return per dollar of investâ€" ment last year than they did in 1911. Increased Cost "These facts show conclusively that the higher transportation charges of today were made necessary solely by the increased cost of operation and not by the larger net revenues of the railroads. . "It costs you more to live and to do business today than it did in 1911, in consequence of which you are charging a higher price for your serâ€" vices and merchandise today than you did then. The railroads are charging higher rates today than fifteen years ago for exactly the same reasons that L : Ne on as MB n t you are charging higher prices than then, although the rate of increase in charges made by the railroads is not 1 nearly so high as is the rate of inâ€" crease in other lines of commercial and industrial endeavor. "One of the difficulties under which the railroad labors is a tendency among the people to look upon the railroad as an abstract political propâ€" osition rather than as a concrete busiâ€" mness one. I submit that if we still eonsider the transportation question entirely aside from the glamour of politics, just as we consider merchanâ€" T .
