A young radio fan complained
that he couldn't get far stations
no matter how hard he tried.
A friend looked over his out
fit and said "Your aerial is too
short put up a longer one."
In the business world a bigger
Bank Account answers the
same purpose that a longer aer

much greater field in which to

INCREASE IN RATES

The state railway commission was
served with notice Monday that
sixty-seven railroads included in
what are known as the Western and
Mountain-Pacific groups and ntwn
bering all of the railroads doing
business in Nebraska are about to
apply to the interstate commerce
commission for an increase in rates.
This is bottomed on the conten
tion that since the passage of the j
Esch-Cummins act in 192 0 they
have never earned and are not now
earning a fair return upon the eg -
gregate value of their property held
and used for giving service, not
withstanding they have been and are
now honestly, efficiently and eco
nomically managed and that expen
ditures for equipments and structures
have been reasonable.
Taken as a group they say their
earnings have averaged for the'tour
years 3.55 per cent or 3.61 per cent
including switching and terminal
companies, and that this is confisca
tory. This has resulted in their be
ing unable to finance extension aui
betterments by selling capital stock
and that when bonds are floated it
is on unreasonable terms, due to im
pairment of credit.
It is set up that under an order
effective July 1, 1922, rates were
reduced 10 per cent, but because of
subsequent orders affecting grain
and live stock movements, the actual
reduction has been 15 per cent. This
has resulted in the average revenue
being 16 per cent below the aver
age prescribed by the interstate com
merce commission in 1920.
The prayer of the railroads is
that rates may be prescribed that
will give an average return of not
less than 5 per cent, the basis
prescribed by the transportation act
and the commission. They point out
that in fields of other public service
and in commerce and industry 6, 7
and 8 per cent have been sustained
by the courts as not unreasonable.
and that returns below this have
been declared confiscatory. The gov
ernment has charged 6 per cent
when loaning money to carriers.
