THE RAILROADS PROMOTERS OP
PROSPERITY.
TJOW many of us in thinking of
a I railroad attain a c ear conception
of its wonderful utility as a first aid
to business? Do we not all too fre
quently accept it as a matter of fact
a mere carrier of persons and prop
erty? The truth is that there is
single factor of greater potency
the maintenance of our business
structure than an efficient railway
system.
The general prosperity of the last
two years has been immeasurably
heightened by the efficient handling
of freight, lately more than a mil
lion cars a week: this quick trans
pnrtation making possible a fast
turnover of commodities, more sales.
and consequently more money in cir
culation. It has contributed to liquid
credit, thus making it easier to do
business, and has resulted in better
connections by reason of quick deliv

freight congestion that were voiced in
the bpnng have proved entirely un
founded. Moreover, the efficient han
dling of freight has helped to keep
credit liquid by making turnover rap
id. Bank credit has not been tied up
or froxen thru traffic congestion. The
railroads have not been and will not
be a drag on business. If they are
not hampered by radical legislation,
they will help business both by mov
ing goods efficiently and by continu
ing to place equipmnet orders."

ySuMsedMorFai,
Inj UJhii Hadleq x
Here U a man who had evpry right to and didn't. Ever hear of
Aaron Sapiro. of Oakland, California, who makes $5X.,000 a year at
the aire if thirty-eiirht?
One of ulne children, born in a stable loft, brutalized in an orphan
aiie. he Is today recojqiized leader of the cooperative movement among
farmers.
His firt ride in any public conveyance, a cable car, was at the
funeral of bh father, who was killed when Sapiro was nine. Hla firat
juare meal CKine when neighbors donated food to the stricken family.
His fim whole fuit of clothes came wlien his mother placed Aaron and
three brothers in an orphan asylum ami they gave him a cotton uniform
la Med "So. iVs." For gix years he was brutalized and poorly fed-
I'esi'lte these hanbdiiits he graduated from the orphanage school
with bleb honors. At sixteen he entered Union College at Cincinnati.
Then he worked his way through Hastings Law College at Frisco by
awing wood, pressing clothes and tutoring,
Infidentally be returned to the Orphanage aa Superintendent, reor
ganized it. Jailed its brutal keeiers. and made it a model institution.
Altut 1M4 I developed his scheme of cooperative marketing and
became chief counsel to the State Market Commission. At a dinner
recently given by Otto H. Kahn. international banker, at which Judga
Eltert H. fiary. head of the billion-dollar United States Steel Corpora
tion was a guet, he was asked why the California growers were run
ning away with the Kawtern markets.
Turning to Judge Gary. Sapiro said:
"Kasiern fanners market their 'product a Individual, They ar
not organljw-d. Western farmers used to dump their output wherever
It was grown. Thus they created a glutted local market from which
peculators could buy at their own price. That's bad business. Now,
the California farmers, by pooling their products, and having a cen
tral business organization of experts to sell them, have adopted th
same methods as the great steel industry.
STUMBLING BLOCKS,
WE FEEBLE, unsophisticated Chris-;
tiftns are falling over stumblinc
blocks that should be removed.
The first is the stone of inactivity. t
inertia. There are more dead peopie
sitting in pews unburied than at any 1
period in the last hundred years.
Oh, for a good live undertaker to
gather up the corpses in the pews of
the churches and bury them get
them out of the wey. Poor, strug-'
gling Christians are falling over the
inactive, the dead.
The stone of insincerity, or per
functoriness, should be removed;
people who speak in the mechanical,
perfunctory, insincere manner. The
very choice is mechanical, the whole
effort disgusting. We want people
who are on fire, who believe and are
sincere, who would die for their be
lief. The stone of selfishness. Men who
care for themselves, self-centered,
self-interested, self-opinionated, curs
ed with selfishness, make a great big
stone in the way of struggling Chris
tians. The stone of worldliness. Two men
who claim to be Christians sit down
at the lunch-counter and shake dice
with two unsaved men. They gamble
for their lunch, they gamble for ci
gars, they are inconsistent, cursed
with worldliness. The poor, strug
gling Christian wants to know why he
has to fall over such in order to make
progress.
The stone of unbelief. There is
toe much doubt, too much question
ing, too much hesitating. The world
needs positive Christians, powerful
men and women, not only to teach
the gospel to the world, but to clear
the road for struggling Christians
who are wending their way toward
the eternal city of happiness and
reward. Remove such stones at once.

Railroad Rates and

Freight Rates - 32 3-10
Passenger Fares 35 3-10
Freight rates and passenger fares on the Union Pacific
System have advanced less than half as much as the in
crease in the cost of engines, cars and other principal items
of railroad expense.
Comparing pre-war prices with those of today we find:
Percent of
Commodity Pre-War Price Present Price Increase
Rail, per ton $ 30.00 f 43.00 43
Freight Locomotive 26,000.00 64,000.00 146
Freight Car 1,100.00 2,600.00 127
Ties, each .35 .84 140
Steel (bridges, tanks, etc.)
per ton 60.00 96.00 92
Steel Passenger Coach . 12,000.00 25,000.00 108
Cotton Waste, per lb .06 .096 90
Block Signals, per mils 1,200.00 2,500.00 108
Switch Lamps, each 4.04 8.40 108
Fuel, per ton 2.11 3.38 60
Average annual earnings (1912) (1922)
per employe 884.01 1,808.47 104.6
Taxes 4,668,875.00 13,251,662.00 280
In the face of these increases, freight rates on the Union Pacific
System during the same time have increased only 12 1-10 percent
snd passenger fares 35 1-10 percent.
In 1913 we received for hauling a ton of freight one mile,
9.7 mills; for hauling a passenger one mile, 2y4c. In 1923
these rates were 1.285 and 3.035 respectively. The 1923
freight rate represents a reduction of about 1 1 percent under
1921 and passenger fares about 8 per cent under 1921.
In order to earn enough gross revenue to purchase a pint
of ink, it is necessary for us to haul one ton of freight 42
miles; for a cross tie, 65 miles, a hand lantern, 91 miles;
one freight car wheel, 1117 miles; and one monkey wrench
97 miles.
To pay for a day of track labor it is necessary to haul one
ton of freight 236 miles. For a day's wages of a freight
train crew 2680 miles. For a day's wages of a machinist
461 miles. For a ton of fuel 263 miles.
The railroads of the United States maintain the lowest
rates and the lowest capitalization per mile, while paying
the highest wages of any country in the world.
So long as the railroads' cost of doing business remains
at the present high level a general reduction of freight and
passenger rates cannot safely be made.
Constructive suggestions are always welcome.
