Since then It has been reduced by the com. mission to 5.75 per cent. In no year however have the railroads secured the fair return contempated by the Act, as the following wil show: Year Percentage actually earned 1920 0.33 1921 3.3 1922 4.14 It is entirely clear, therefore, that the law in no sense guar antees the earnings of the railroads. If it did. the Government would owe the railroads more than a billion dollars for deficits in 1920, 1921 and 1922. OREGON HARDWARE & IMPLEMENT CO. Since January 1, 1923, the earnings of the railroads a8 a whole have been better than for the same period in any of the preceding years, but the rate of returns is still lower than the Interstate Commerce Commission has prescribed as reasonable. The Transportation Act has not been the cause of increases in railroad rates. One of the authors of the Act has said: Rates have advanced simply because the cost of maintenance and operation has more than doubled since pre-war days while railroad rates, taken as a whole, are now about 54 per cent higher than they were before the government took over the railroads at the beginning of the year 1918.” The price of transportation can only be reduced as the cost of transportation is reduced and the railroad’s cost of living has increased in like proportion to that of the individual. Every effort, however, is being made to reduce It. Constructive suggestions arc always welcome. Omaha, Nebraska, Augut 1, 1923. SPECIAL Saturday, A ugu st 4 L adies’ B ratsieres-50 per cen t o ff ..
