Almost everywhere one can hear rumors of what the railroad is going to do in this county It h reported that this line is to be taken up and junked; that train service is to be discontinued en- times per week; and that stations are to be abandoned and one man given all the work in the county. Such rumors have been current here every six months for the past five or six years and still the trains run right along, r -f No one supposes that the railroads art making money at the present time It is not presumed anywhere that this branch is making money although at one time it was a very profitable part of the railroad system Why the railroads are not making money enough to pay their expenses is not a problem for us to settle al. though it seems'that more efficient management might help that condition. , Nearly everyone in this county has some pretty definite ideas about why this branch of the railroad is not making money. We have seen the gasoline hauling business go to the trucks because the railroads would not meet the truck competition until after the trucks had gotten all the business. We have seen local freight hauling go to the trucks and come back to the railroads again after they instituted a better and cheaper service. Now we are watching the sack hauling go to the trucks and can begin to see wheat shipments made by trucks as a regular practice. Most certainly the railroads are losing money and will continue to do so unless they can get some business This year shipments into the county are much smaller than usual and there is not enough of them to be profitable. For sever al years wheat shipments to Portland have been so small that they did not pay as much as common. These things are unavoidable and cannot be helped But, the fact that other hauling agencies are getting the largest and heaviest goods to haul can be helped and the railroads must keep this business in order to exist Modern business methods have tended toward small profits and large volume instead of large profits and small volume If the railroads can keep the wheat business in this county they can and will stay; if through a stiff neck unwillingness to give sn inch, they maintain their rates at the present level and lose the wheat hauling business they will have to leave because they will have no further excuse for staying. Certainly the railroad executives must know that the fanner must have his wheat hauled to market at the lowest possible figure and that he cannot «nd will not pay a war time freight rate when wheat is selling for one-fifth of what it was when the rate was established. Let the railroads meet the present day demands and keep their business. MORO, PAGI 3 OREGON, April 15. 1932» farm helping hie father.
