f .Below is an extract 'from 'an editorial which recently up
peared in the Railway Age:
"The rates of the western lines have always been under the 'rom 11 conl slloct
greatest pressure because there has always been mnn
political agitation for rate reductions in the west than else
where.. The government raises the tariff to help lrwmufac
luririg industries; it creates a farm board with a large
appropriation to help agriculture; it spends miiny hundreds
of millions of dollars upon highways and waterways to aid
industry and agriculture, and incidentally to divert traffic
from the railways.' It asks the railways in a period of
-depression to make large capital expenditures to help main
tain business. Then regardless of the wholly inadequate and
confiscatory return being earned, it reduces the rates of the
western lines and gracefully "passes the buck" to them by
inviting them to take action to secure advance in other
rates that would dmbroil them; ' with many of the big
shippers."
One solution would be increased tonnage to enable the
railway lines to lower rates to a basis that will place Oregon
industry on a par with other section's of the country, and
yet give then! a fair return on their invested capital.

In the news columns of the newspapers there recently
appeared a story in which two lawyers in Kansas claimed

rtccoiaing 10 tneir statement their cash outlay for seed,
planting, harvesting and hauling amounted to $700. They
received 65 cents per bushel for 2,641 bushels of wheat from
154 acres, a total of ?1,716, and thereby made a profit of
? 1,000.
It is a beautiful story. Uut the land should be worth
?15,000 and at 6 per cent the carrying cost would be ?!H)0;
add to this taxes of at least $100. and the S1.000 mfir i

, Figures can be made to prove anything, and it is well to
study carefully the total expense and income before jumping
at the conclusion that there is great profit in certain lines
of endeavor.
