Heretofore, fail harvest has brought a widespread car short age. Last year tt was 140,000 cars. This year there ig gener ally a surplus of cars throughout the country and especially of box cars in the West and Northwest, notwithstanding the roads are handling the greatest volume of business in their history. There’s a Reason! For 1923, ail the railroads of the United States Joined in a co-operatvle effort and with a defined program to improve traffic conditions and to establish new standards of servi'-", even excelling pre-war records. In fulfilling this program, 134.636 new freight ears and 2.963 new locomotives were put In service between January and October, 1923, a larger number than In Rny similar period within-the past ten years. Remarkable progress has been made in reducing the number of locomotives and cars awaiting repairs, 86.S per cent of the locomotives and 93.3 per cent of the cars being In serviceable condition In October. More railroad coal has 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 nec essary traffic during peak periods. From an average movement of 22 miles per car per day, (in- eluding idle time) in 1921, the railroads made 29.2 miles in September, 1923. In 42 weeks, from January 1 to October 20,1923, the rail roads loaded and moved 40,545,920 cars, which was an increase of 18 per cent over 1922 and 10 per cent over the record year of 1920. Isn’t this a splendid tribute to the efficiency of the carriers and the co-operation of shippers? The roads are spending this year 700 million dollars for new equipment and 400 million dollars for other improvements. Yeara ago James J. Hill, the great railroad builder of the North west, said that the roads must spend one billion dollars every year for additions and betterments to keep abreast of the coun try's growing traffic, but this Is the firrt year in twelve that the railroads have found it possible to obtan that amount. Surh expenditures have a vital bearing on national prosperity, contributing to the expansion of Industry nd employment of labor. Increasing the demand for products of mine, forest and farm. This $1,100.000,000 being spent in 1923 js almost entirely new money, and not taken from earnings. The expenditure is based on the conviction that the American people will encourage compensatory rates and discourage attempts to embarrass the railroads In their efforts to provide adequate service. It is not predicted on preeent earnings for even In this record-breaking year. It is unlikely that the roads will earn the 5.75 per cent on thslr valuation permitted by the Interstate Commerce Com mission under the Transportation Act. but wtairh If they do not earn they do not get. Anti-railroad laws produce no freight cars. Constructive suggestions are always welcome. « Omaha Nebraska. December 1, 1»JJ. < Q <"»RA *. President.
