And Mr, Spenco cite tho -dangerous statistics that about half tho farms of tho nation aro now ton ant farms, with tho proportion that Increasing; that western farnn aro over-mortgaged and over-taxed und that with the less-tlian-cost returns for many products for tho past two or threo years, too many farmers cannot stand tho killing overhead, and aro forced out.

Tho penalty for op erating without n license Is $G0. a day, All licenses termlnato July 1, and if not renewed promptly, places tho warohouso liable to tho fino when over it operates without a llconso. It would not only bo tho act of m ood cltlton, but really hla duty, tor any one to report to tho Stato Market Agent any Irregularity In tho warohouso business. If thero la a warehouse in tho stato of Oregon recolvlug grain from farmers and operating without a license, those farmers storing grain In such waro houso havo no protection for loa or thoft. Thoso warehouses aro licensed from tho Grain Inspection Depart ment and delinquencies should bo re ported to tho State Markot Agent, 723 Court House, Portland, as euch report might bo tho means of sav ing hlnmelf or neighbor from houvy loss.

This was disclosed In tho roport of Director of tho Anuiivtia Hallway Asttioiatlon. Just received by tho Southern I'auitto Company, reviewing results of tho program to furnish adequate trans portation to tho public, adopted early In 1D23, nnd tolling of plnnH to continue this good work for the rest of the yonr and in 1921. The now records established aro as follews: (1) The railroads, from January 1 to October 1 put In Bervlco 134,030 now freight cars and 2,003 now loco motlvos it largor number than In any similar period during tho last ton years. (2) A larger number of locomotives and cars havo been repaired and put In serviceable condition than over be fore in any equal period. (3) The railroads handled moro freight business botwoon January 1 and October 20 thnu In any corre sponding previous period. Tho num ber of cars loaded with revenue freight was -10,545,020. This compares with 34.220.42G In 1022 nn Increase of 18 per cent; and with 30,827,(iS8 In 1920, the previous record year, or un Increnso of 10 per cent. Tho box car surplus In tho grain producing ntntos has been tho groatot In history. (I) The average miles moved by each freight car dnlly In tho llrst 9 months of tint year wuh 27.0 miles, unit In September renched 29.2 miles. TIiIb compares with 22.5 miles In tho Jlrst 9 months of 1922, 22 miles In 1921 and 24.G In 1920. This llgurp Is based upon tho total numbor of freight cars owned, whethor la tran sit or not Without Congestion (C) DecaUBo of theso Increases in facilities resulting In the more rapid movement of cars a record breaking business was handled without conges tion nnd with practically no car shortage or embargoes for tho first time In years. (G) The amount of freight service j rendered with each car was Oil tons i rnrriKit nnn mllu dally diirlnc 8 months of 1923. which oxcouds tho record of any previous year, anil surpaseos that of 1022 by over 31 per cent. (7 From Jmiutio 1 to October 1 tho ntiiubiu of tuna of coal dumped at Lahu Krle ports for movement by boat to the Northwest was greater than lu any pmvlous year. Tho pro gram of providing coal for tho North west wns completed much curlier than In any previous year, thereby making available additional locomotives nnd cars for other commerclul Interests during tho fall and wlntor months. (8 A greater amount of railroad coal has bt'cn placed In stockpllo stor ugo than was over heretofore stored by the railrouds, thereby making available additional locomotives and cars for gonorul commercial service during tho fall and winter mouths, The railroads have spent $1,303, 244,000 for new equipment and othor facilities this year up to October 1, a record amount. In addition to thceo expenditures the Class 1 roads In 1922 expended J1,C08,673,271 for materials and (sup plies used In operation and mainten ance and this yoar will havo spent 1,800,000,000 by tho end of Decomber for this purpose. Altogether the Clues 1 roads In 1923 will have spent over threo billion dol lars for equipment and facilities, ma terials and supplies. This money has gono to tho industries of the country and Is ono of tho prime causes con tributing to tholr expansion und tho employment of labor, which, In turn, has been a major factor In tho In creauo in domestic demand for both the products of Industry and tho farm, Fair Income Needed Tho Association points out that a contlnunnco of these enormous capi tal expenditures, which are noccssary if the public in to be adequately served, depends on such net Income to tho carriers us will permit a fair re turn on tho property now devoted to the public service und will mako It possible to becure the now capital which is Imperatively needed, Atten tion Is called to the fact that desplto the unprecedented volumo of traCc successfully handled this year, tho railroads have not earned even the moderate net Income permitted by tho Transportation Act, The Association also voiced tho ap preciation of the roads for the co operation of tho shipping public which has greatly assisted the handllar of equipment.
