4 w4LL THE NEWS OF THE RAILROADS SOME REASONS FOR HIGH RATES Figures Showing Public What Ruilroads Must Pay Out During This Year On the basis of current taxep, wages and prices of equipment and supplies, the expenditures of the railways of the United States, assuming that normal purchases will be maintained, will run around $500,000,000 a year more than they did on the basis of the taxes, wages and prices that prevailed during most of the fiscal year ended on June 30, 1916, the Railway Age Gazette esti mates in its current issue. "It is perfectly natural," the Rail way Age Gazette says, "that the public, und especially the shipping public, should be asking why the railways should be asking for large advances in freight rates when they have recently been making the largest gross and net earnings in their history. Information For Public "The public naturally desires to know what have, been some of these increases in expenses, and to what ex tent, if present prices are maintained, they will affect operating expenses. It is impossible as yet to give detailed figures, but it is possible to give some estimates which are based on actual available facts. The following are some estimates as to the extent to which eight items entering into railway ex penses will be Increased for the rail ways as a whole annually by advances in wages and prices: Train service employes' wages (due to Adam son act) ? 60,000,000 Other employes' wages.. 40,000,000 Fuel (increase in price, 50 cents a ton) 100,000,000 TT'S easy enough to push the A clock ahead, but you don't I I hurry time any.

Taxes (increase, 15 per cent) 22,000,000 Rail (3,000,000 tons, in crease in price per ton $10) 30,000,000 Locomotives (3,500 at in crease in price of 90 per cent.) 72,000,000 Passenger cars (3,000 at \ i increase in price of 50 \ per cent.) 18,000,000 Freight cars (175,000 at increase in price of 50 per cent.) 105,000,000 Total increase in these eight tlems $447,000,000 Conservative Estimates "Most of these estimates seem con servative. For example, Samuel Rea, president of the Pennsylvania Rail road, has indicated that the eastern roads will have to pay $1 a ton more for coal this year than they did last year, and that if they do the increase in the fuel expense of only seven roads Will be $37,000,000. "The figures regarding increased cost of equipment are based, first, upon past experience as to the number of locomotives and cars annually ordered by the railways of tho United States, and, second, upon figures as to actual increases in the prices of locomotives and cars which already have occur red."
