Reduced Prices on STANDARD MAZDA LAMPS at Case Furniture Company And the Cars Came Railroads Make Good on Promise to Move All Business Offered A low freight rate and no cars in which to ship is as un satisfactory as a low price for bread and no bread. , Heretofore, fall harvest has brought a widespread car shortage. Last year it was 140,000 cars. This year there is generally a surplus of box cars in the West and North west, notwithstanding the roads are handling the greatest volume of business in their history. There's a Reason! For 1923, all the railroads of the United States joined in a co-operative effort and with a defined program to improve traffic conditions and to establish new standards of service, even excelling pre-war records. In fulfilling this program, 134,636 new freight cars and 2,963 new locomotives were put in service between January and October, 1923, a larger number than in any similar period within the past ten years. Remarkable progress has been made in reducing the num ber of locomotives and cars awaiting repairs, 83.3 per cent of the locomotives and 93.3 per cent of the cars being in serviceable condition in October. More railroad coal bus been placed in stock pile storage and more commercial coal dumped at Lake Erie ports than in any previous year, thus making equipment available for other necessary traffic during peak periods. From an average movoment of 22 mllea per car per day, (Includ ing idle time) In 1021, the railroads made 29.2 miles in September, 11123. In the 42 weeks from January 1 to October 20, 1923, the rail roads loaded and moved 40,646,820 cars, which was an Incrcnse of 1H over 1022 and 10 over the record year of 1920. The roada aro spending this year 700 million dollars for new equipment and 400 million dollars for other improvements. Years ago James J. Hill, the great railroad builder of tho Northwest, Bind the roads must spend one billion dollars every year for addi tions and betterments to keop abreast of the country's growing truffle, but this is the first year In twelve that the railroads have found It possible to obtain that amount. Such expenditures have a vitnl bearing on national prosperity, contributing to tho cxpan son of industry and employment of labor, increasing the demand for products of mine, forost and fnrm. This $1,100,000,000 being spent In 1023 ia almost entirely new money, and not taken from earnings. The expenditure is based on tho conviction that the American pepple will encourage compen satory ratoa and discourage attempts to embarrasB the railroads In their efforts to provide adequate service. It is not predicated on present earnings for even in this rccord-broaking year, It ia unlikely that the roads will earn the 6.76 on their valuation per mitted by the Interstate Commerce Commission under the Trans portation Act, but which If they do not enrn they do not get. Antl-rnilrond laws produce no freight cars. Constructive suggestions are always welcome. Omnhn, Nebraska, December 1, 1023. C. R.
