The New York Herald, the Ne’
Yoi-k Times, many of the other leac
ing newspapers of the country an
several of the big magazines arc d<
voting columns of editorial commer
to the burning of corn as fuel by th
O’Neill electric light, power and hea'
lng plant. The New York Herald in
column editorial says that about 2
million bushels of corn will be bume
this year as fuel in the United Statt
and it quotes 'engineers to the effe<
that it is a moro satisfactory fu
than some grades of steam coal. Th
Herald, however, as do most of tl
other publications, deplores the use (
com as fuel as an economic wast
All of the writers on the subjec
either intentionally or otherwise, ij
nore the real reason for the use <
corn as fuel at this time. Hig
freight rates alone are responsibl
/
High freight rates on coal make it an
expensive fuel. High freight rates
prevent the shipment of corn at a
profit. With lower freight rates both
■ coal and com would move. Until the
rates are lowered the railroads will
continue to lose both the freight rate
oh a ton of coal and the freight rate on
a ton of corn where com is burned.
For every ton of corn that is burned
it is estimated that the railroads lose
about $12 of freight Income, on the
basis of the present rates. If 25
million bushels of com are burned this
year the loss to the railroads in
freight charges will amount to ap
proximately $10,345,828.00, as ear com
runs about 29 bushels to the ton.
