ROBERTS (From the Monthly Letter Issued by The National City Bank o! New York, Distributed in Pendleton by The First National Bank of Pendleton.) THE present iituition of the railroids of mil country Is to intimately related to current buainesa conditvpni Tiiat it should be thoroughly and Renerally under stood, because only with the help of constructive public opinion can the railroads lope to regain the ground they have lost., . Contrary to the charge that is frequently made, we do not believe that current freight rates are re sponse for the present low trend of business throughout the country. Tht causes of commercial depres sion are world-vide and are not to be found in domestic transportation chatges. " When business was good last Fall the largest tonnage in the . history of the country was offered the railroads, despitl the advanced rates which becam tflective Aug ust 26th. To-day ean tonnage rates are at the lowest levels in a great many years, bi't ocean' traffic is suffering perhaps even greater stagnation than rail traffic. There are many commodities that would not move even if thv roads offered to carry them free, (or the simple reason that no maiVet exists for them.' ' One simple case illustrates the point: Texas farmed in April re ceived $5 k ton for rpinach. The (freight rata to Chicago was $30.36 a ton. The retail- pricf at that time was $300 a ton, or $164.64 more than the railroad and tli grower to gethir received. Whether the far mer would be benefited in the slightest by a reduction of freight rates under those conditions is hardly debatable. Regardless of the' present level of rates, it must be borne in mind that this country has been built up by the means of tiie cheapest trans portation in the world. So we be lieve that ultimately a general re duction in rates is essential, but that cannot come until railway operating costs have been substantially re duced. Until then no reduction is defensible. Railway rates are on a war level because railway costs are on a war level. Business would be poorly served by a slashing of rates that would produce a series of rail way bankruptcies. Nevertheless, we cannot expect prosperous conditions until the cycle of deflation has been com pleted. In this cycle must be in cluded railway wages and railway supplies. When operating expenses have teen deflated, railway rates can be deflated, but we cannot ex pect to go back to the pre-war level of rates, as those rates were un fairly low. An examination of the railroads' operating expenses during the eight months following expiration of the Government guaranty, shows actual net operating income of the carriers ever that period was only $277, 942,000. A 6 per cent, return for that period amount to $728,901,000; SOME IMPORTANT FACTORS IN THE BUSINESS SITUATION ' INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Payments under repara; tions agreement have strengthened economic position u allied powers, but have worked no improvement in the e changes. Sterling, Continental and South American curren cies continue weak. v ; t FOREIGN TRADE Reports or May, 1921, Indicate new low leve.1 for year in both imports and exports, showing decline of 52.4 and SS 9 respectively from May, 1920. INDUSTRIAL SITUATION Continues to mark time, await ing proper adjustment between pricet of agricultural product and manufacture.1 article. - FINANCIAL CONDITIONS Federal Reserve Bank of New York reduces rate to 6, Indicating easier money market. Call loans tout-bed 5 during June lowest point since October, 1919. FARM PRODUCTS This year wheat crop now estimate at 829 million bushels, as compared with 728 million bushels pre-war normal. Recent price declines despite large exports. Corn probpecta rplendid. Cotton cieage reduced 25, and market conditions still unfavorable. IRON AND STEEL-Industry operatlrg at from 20 to 30 per cent, capacity, which is lowest ebb in many years. Pr -duc-tion is below consumption, indicating storing up of future demand. Stock are depleted. FUEL Soft coal si(es depressed. l""ice recession under way. Little demand for steam coal. Anthracite production prac tically normal- BUILDING CONSTRUCTION Distinct improvement noted during past two mondis. Reductions In wages and prce of materials afford basis for gretly needed operations. so the actual net opcratinR income of the carriers was $450,958,000 less than the minimum they ought to receive if their solvency is to be assured. When the carriers were returned to their owners their treasuries were dangerously .depleted. They could not be strengthened because of the negligible net earnings since reported. In consequence, it has been impossible for the companies to pay their bills promptly. One railroad is understood to liave bills payable of $65,000,000. The Gov ernment is said to owe this road over $100,000,000. This is doubtless a typical situation.' A prompt and liberal settlement of the accounts between the Rail road Administration and he car riers would produce untold benefits. It would be the first step towards a business revival. The second step would follow when increased net earnings prompt the railroads to begin buying again. The amount of work that should be done to place the rolling stock and other property of the carriers in shape to handle a normal flow of traffic is stupendous. . Far-sighted business men have recognized that if the .railroads enter the markets as buyers in periods of depression, not only would they procure their supplief more cheaply, but the pe riod of depression would unques tionably be shortened. : The shrinkage in traffic which is now apparent lias been only a secondary cause of the railway difficulties. The primary cause is the high cost of labor and materials, and these costs are almost wholly beyond the control of the railway manager. As Mr. Julius Krutt schnilt. Chairman of the Southern Pacific, points out in a very illumi nating letter just sent to stock holders, 64 cents out of every dollar of operating expenses were paid to labor at prices fixed by the Govern ment; lo cents additional went for materials and supplies at prices fixed by the Government, and i'i cuts were paid for. expenses in curred by the Government in the first two months of 19J0 when the carriers were still under Federal, control. Therefore a total of 82J4 cents out of each dollar of expenses in 1920-was paid out at prices prac tically fixed by the Government it self. With all of this, there have been some recent favorable develop ments. The Labor Board has authorized a 12 per cent, reduction in wages which look effect July 1, which will result in savings esti mated at $375,000,000 a year, and the wasteful na'ional agreements re abrogated vof the same date. Everyone wishes to see those who work in tra fsportallon service fairly remunerated, but there is no possible justification lor many of the abi-ses that, crept into wage schedules iuring Fedtral control. The public . should demand the speedy abolition of law-made job.
