Freight Rates and Valuation
Wide publicity has been given to the statement that the value of all the railroads
of the United States does not exceed $12,000,000,000, and that if such valuation had been
used during the past three years in making rates all freight rates, including those on
farm products, would have been materially reduced.
i That statement disregards the railroads’ right under the Federal and State Con
situations to earn a fair return on the value of their property, and denies the validity of
tne valuation made by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
It also disregards the fact that the railroads during the 34 months prior to Jan
uary 1, 1923, did not earn 4 per cent on $12,000,000,000, although authorized to earn 6
per cent on $18,900,000,000.
If, however, a valuation of $12,000,000,000 bad been made the basis for rates instead
of the valuation found by the Commerce Commission and the reduction had only applied
to freight rates, that reduction could not have exceeded 2.1 per cent of the rates
collected in 1922. This conclusion is emphasized by the following facts:
GROSS FREIGHT REVENUES OF ALL CARRIERS
FOR YEAR 1922 .. $4,007,014,655
NET INCOME OF ALL CARRIERS FOR YEAR. 1922 776,665,960
5*/4% RETURN ON ASSUMED VALUATION OF
$12,000,000,000 .. 690,000,000
EXCESS OF NET INCOME OVER THE RETURN ON
_THE ASSUMED-VALUATION. 86,665,960
A deduction of this excess of $86,665,960 from the total gross freight revenues of
$4,007,014,655 would have reduced the gross freight revenues only 2.1 (per cent. If this
reduction of 2.1 per cent had been applied to freight rates, with no reduction in passen- 1
ger fares or other charges, it would not, in fact, have increased the amount received by
tne fanner for his products.
GRAIN
A reduction of 2.1 per cent in freight rates means nothing to the individual shipper
unless expressed in units with which he is familiar and be large enough to be recogniz
ed m commercial dealings. Durng the year 1922 tne Chicago & North Western Ry. Co’s
average haul and rates on grain were as follows: y
Average Rates Reduction per
Aveage Haul per Bushel Bushel
Wheat 197 miles 7.14 cents 1.5 mills
Lorn 256 miles 7.25 cents 1.5 mills
°ats 210 miles 3.29 cents 0.7 mills
^,,A .reduction of 2.1 per cent in this company’s freight rates would, therefore have

REACHING THE SPOT
It Has Been Done, So Scores of
O’Neill Citizens Say.
To get rid of an aching back,
The sharp twinges,
The tired-out feelings,
You must reach the spot—get at
the cause.
In many cases ’tis the kidneys.
Doan’s Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
O’Neill citizens testify.
Ask your neighbor.
J. M. Ashley, O’Neill, says: “My
back has bothered me and pained so I
could hardly keep going. Sharp pains
darted through the small of my back
and the kidney secretions were highly
colored and unnatural. The last at
tack came on after having the meas
les. After taking the first few of
Doan’s Kidney Pills I could see a
change for the better and kept on with
them until I had used three boxes
which I got at Reardon Bros.’ Drug
Store. I was cured of the trouble and
my kidneys were put in a strong and
healthy condition again.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Ashley had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
