U. S. IN RATE RISE
Increase in Transportation Tax
Expected to Aid Federal
Treasury
ADVANCE SET FOR AUG. 26
Dy (lie Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 4. The American
traveling public nnd American shipping
may expect to begin paying the in
creased passenger fares and freight
rates authorized by the Interstate Com
merce Commission August 20, repre
sentatives of tho railroads announcing
today that It was planned to put thc
new rntcs into effect on thnt date.
Previous announcement by the rail
road executives was that the pnssengcr
fnre increases would go into effect
August 20 nnd the freight rnte nd
vnnces August 25. Tlie blanket sched
ules, which must he filed with thc com
mission live tiara in uiivn
mission five days in advance of thc
rffcctive date, tariff exnorts have in
. i i. .: u :. i.
, Pnrcd fpr an earlier date than August
20.
The Increased rates, in the opinion
of Internal Revenue Bureau ofiiolnls
nnd others connected with the collection
of federal taxes, will Increase govern
ment revenues approximately $100.-
000.000 a year through additional reve
nues from passenger nnd freight trans-
fiortntion, corporation and individual
neomes nnd vnrious excise levies.
Transportation taxes for thn fiscal
year ending June 30 aggregated approx
imately !J23l .000.000. That sum was
made up from thc ." per cent tax ou
freight charges amounting to S125.-
000,000, the 8 per cent tax on passen
ger tickets supplying .fl00.000.000 nnd
the 8 per cent tax on Pullman charges
producing 50.500.000.
Should railroad traffic contlnuo nt its
present volume, all of these amounts
would be Increased correspondingly with
the advance permitted by tho Interstate
Commerce Commission in its rate de
cision Inst Saturday. On this basis,
officials of the Bureau of Iuternul Rev
enue calculate the additional taxes will
aggregate $38,550,000 on freight. $18.
700.000 on passenger and $3,500,000
on Pullman charges.
Another source of revenue would be
from Income tnxes levied against thc
railroad corporations. Railroad execu
tives expect many nf thc carriers to ram
sufficiently large returns under the new
rates to compel tho payment of Income
tnxes for the first time since pre-war
days. It is from this source that the
Treasury expects to obtain a large por
tion of the remaining S 10.000 000 of
their $100,000,000 estimate. Offlcinls
placed the amount from income taxes
conservatively at S30.000.000 a year.
Exports from the Tnlted States, In
the onlnlon of foreign trade cxpertB of
the Department of commerce, will not
slump to any front extent as a result
of the increnses in railroad freight rates.
Some decrease is to he expected, they
declared today, chiefly booouo com
modities which have to he hauhd a con
sidornbln distance to seaports undoubt
edly will advance somewhat In price.
As a factor working against American
overseas business the new freight rates,
officials predicted, will tnke a place with
the exchnnge situation, the collapse of
European credit and the poverty of tho
foreign nations. Since exports have
steadily increased in vnlue, despite tho
last three factors, t ratio experts are con
fident tlie new element Introduced by
higher freight tariffs will work no se
rious harm.

authorities of different countries into
closer relationship, to co-operate with
