F re ig h t tra ffic ha- increased five per cent and freight speed between term inals 19 per cent. This improved service was achieved with 16 per cent few er tra in miles. D uring the sam e period the revenue' derived by the railroads per ton-mile has declined over 15 per cen t; if freig h t ra te s in ,-1927 had been the same as those in 1921, the public would have had to pay 800 million dollars additional for transportation. The im provem ent made in accident reduction is well known. F re ig h t car shortages have practically disappear td . Com fort, safety and speed have all increased. This fine record of service has had a beneficial e ffe c t on our industrial and social life. T ransportation is the life-blood of commerce, progress and prosperity. The railro ad s’ tax burden and d ra s tic legislation has made it impossible for the lines, during a single year since 1920, to earn the “ fa ir r e tu r n ” of 5 3-4 per cent perm itted by the T ran sp o rtatio n Act. Such a condi tion is disheartening to the railroads and m u st have a deleterious influence cn plans fo r fu ture progress.
