These taxes are drawn, to a great extent from tho wealthy classes - from those who are able to pay them.

Mr, Krultschnitt urged the committee to recommend a plan of regulation which will center responsibility for regulation and Its results iu the federal government, sn that conditions affecting both expenses and revenues may be mady subject to a uniform policy Instead of the waste ful and often conflicting policies In volved in the system of combined state and federal regulation. Why Roadi Need More Money. Mr. Kruttsclinltt's testimony also had l bearing on the reasons for Uio appli cation of the roads to the Interstate Commerce Commission for a general advance In freight rates. n showed that while the price of transportation has declined in recent years, the cost of producing transportation, like the cost of almost everything else, lias rap idly advanced. This lie illustrated by showing that if freight and passenger rates bad Increased during the past twenty years in the same proportion as averago commodity prices the railroad of the United States would have re ceived $l,BM,nnO,000 more for trans portatlon In 1915 than they did receive This saving to tho public was effect ed. In aplte of an Increase of 03 per cent In the cost of operation of trains by a reduction In the average passen ger rato per mile from 2.01 cents in 1805 to 1.08 centa In 1015, a decrease of 3 per cent, and by a reduction in the average freight rate per ton mile from 8.30 mills In 1805 to 7.3 mills In 1913, or 13 per cent. During the same period tbe cost of operation per train mile rose from 02 cents to $1.78, almost doubling. At the same time the aver age price of 340 commodities enuincr atcd In a bulletin of the Department of Agriculture Increased 115 per cent Transportation is practically the only commodity in general use that has not Increased tremendously In price during tbe past twenty years, freight and pas aengcr charges being lower than they were twenty yean ago. Big Saving to Public It rates bad risen proportionately to the Increase In the cost of other arti cles of ordinary use, Mr. Kruttschnilt told the committee, the average pas senger rate In 1015 would have been 2.05 centa a mile, or SO per rent higher than It was, and the average freight rato won in imvo noon 1..1 rents, or Ci and the preference right is exer cised prior to May 10, 1917, on which date the lands will be sub ject to settlement and entry by any qualified person.
