Rail President Raps Statement by Gov. MeMaster H. F„ B yram of Milwaukee Criticises South Dakota ex ecutive's Stand in Message to State Legislature. Chicago, Feb. 12.—IT. K. Byratn. president of the Chicago, Milwaukee * St. Paul railway, has written an open letter to Governor W. If. Me Master of Sotith Dakota, criticising the governor for what Mr. By ram terms “a series of most bitter and unjust attacks upon the railroads.” which he declares were made by Gov ernor MeMaster In his recent mes cage to the state legislature. According to Mr. Byratn. Governor MeMaster said that 18 months ago lailway managers knew that then equipment was deficient and (barged them with “Inrompeteney and crim inal carelessness” in neglecting to pro vide sufficient equipment. In his let ter to the goveror, Mr. Byram de clared that the railways in 1921 and 1922, with the equipment they had, moved more farm products than in any previous year in their history and said that in the period referred to. “the railways actually placed orders for the purchase of more than 2.700 new locomotives and for almost 200. 000 new’ freight cars." Replying to the statement which he said the governor made that the rail roads have been over-capitalized and have made their rates high enough to pay dividends upon this total capital Jzation. Mr. Byram said that the rail ways never. In a single year, have paid dividends on their total capital ization and that in 1921 they paid no dividends on 4.1 per cent of their stocks. Referring to a statement, which he said, the governou. made, that the In tersiate Commerce commission, in placing the valuation of $18,900,000. 000 on the railways, did not take ac count of certain elements and based the valuation upon “present day costs” of construction. Mr. Byram cited statements made by members of the commission to show that the valu ation was not based on “present day costs.” but upon the average wages of labor and prices of material in 1911 and 1914. and asserted that If the valuation had lieen on “present day costs,” it would have been twice as large as it actually was Iowa AutoUt Killrd by Train.
