RAILROADS LOOK
LOOPHOLES
Bring tip Matter of Car
Shortage, But Commission ;
- Offsets Arguments.
' "' By John . Lathrop, -1
(WsebiBftos Bnresa of The JoaniiLl
Washington, D. C, May 25 Argu
ments are sought as excuse for increase
In railroad rates, the latest being that
th number of Idle cars in the eountry
now Is 412,000. an Increase of 67.700
from April $5, as against an Increase of
$T,700 from April 1 to April 15. "
" Also lt is cited that 6.500 locomotives
are Idle because of ths Idle -cars, ths
Investment- value of the engines at an
average of $18,000 being 1117,000,090.
The cost of the Idle cars at an aver,
age of $1,000 each is placed at $413.
000,000, and the toUl eost of the cars
and locomotives which are idle is thus
$520,000,000. , .
This half billion dollars of idle rolling
stock is cited as a tremendous charge
against , the railroad properties whih
sre now in use, and the claim is put
forth that the loss of revenue on this
Idle equipment must be carried by 'he
other property,-; therefore larger carry
ing charges must-be imposed to make
up for the deficiency.
An official of the interstate commerce
commission easily shows the fallacy of
this idle property as a salient argument
affecting the total of railroad values
claimed by the railroad managements. ,
. Bsilroad Properties..
"At ths present moment," he said,
"the outstanding securities of American
railways is approximately $20,000,009.
000. Railroad ..men assert that that
total represents real value of the prop
erties. Let us accept,, tor the sake of
argument, the claim of ths railroaders
ss to values. Then the i $500,000,000
which represents the value of the idle
rolling stock Is one-fortieth of the total
value of the railroads, or two and one
half per cent. In other words, only two
snd one-half per cent Of the roads Is
Idle, Yet an increase of from 16 to 20
per cent In freight rates is demanded
by ths railroads ss necessary undor
the present conditions.
"Of course, someone will quickly ad
vance the argument that the approxi
mately $20,000,000,000 of securities is
largely water, If that be true, as most
of us admit, then the roads have no
right to collect freight carrying charges
on all that water, and rates by that
argument are proven to have been too
high, for they have been based on an
attempt to collect annual interest
charges on all of that genuine and
watered stock and all of those bonds.
, "The fact Is that a short time ago
the roads were demanding- hls-her rates
because pf the rising prices on all
things bbtight by the roads; now thoy
are demanding higher rates- because
prices are laiunsr. uatcning us acorn in
and aaoln'. lt seems to me. '
The pertinency of this matter to the
Pacific .northwest consists in the fact
that ail Or the -transcontinental lines ars.
Joining; In ths demand for hicher rates.
The UntoY Pacific, tor Instance, Is float
ing $100,000,000 of new bonds, which
must be a living charge, for ths collec
tion bf annual Interest from ths regions
mrougn- wnicn tnat system operates,
'mi northern roads Great Northern.
Northern Paciflo and Burlington have
already Indicated that they propose
to raise rates, havtnr attemDted higher
lumbar schedules, the case now pending
perore tne commission nere.
Regardless of denials 1 which are put
forth from time to time, the conviction
is deep seated here that no - serious
obstacles will be imposed by the ad
ministration to prsvent elevation of
rates. ...
Status of Jfulton B11L . .
A case In point Is the .status Of the
jruuon bill which proposed to give the
Interstate commerce commission au
thority to suspend a proposed higher
rata pending an innuiry. This bill as
agreed to be amended bv Fulton and
shipoers who had backed It is exactly
in agreement witn tne recommendation
of the commission in Us annual report,
and is merely carrying out -ths recom
mendation of President Roosevelt Jn hjs
message.
It is realised that some dynamite
under that bill would have lifted It
from the desk of Senator Elklns, chair
man of the senate committee on inter
state commerce.- The nlain truth is that
ins aynamite was not suppiiea. Arter a
desultory fight. Senator Fulton agreed
10 an armistice until next lau, ana tne
bill slumbers, like many other meas
ures which would have been good for
tne puoiio. - .,
Serious nrotests have been offered bv
powerful shipping Interests against the
pigeon-nonng 01 tms salutary Din. Hut
the protests have been unavailing. For
the present the bill is "dead as a nit."
It is-apparent that a great struggls
Is on between the roads and the ship
pers ever the question of advancing
rates. Tremendous - aggregations of
manufacturers and dealers are forming
for the contest The stragetie maneuv
ers of the roads are also apparent to
get rates raised, In the realisation that,
once raised, lt will be difficult for ths
shippers to fore their lowering. .
' The Fulton bill wss designed to sup
ply the shippers with a weapon which
would prevent arbitrary raising of rates
prior to a determination by the Inter
state commerce commission of ths rea
sonableness of the proposed Increase.
The shelving of the bill, therefore,
gives the roads the first coign of ad
vantage, as no power exists now where
by a raise tn rate may be estopped.
