WX8HINOTON October II. "If It la
rlgHt forthe gorenrment to shield the
railroads from the effect of the war; If
It is right for the government to. make
good the losses of people In different In-
duatriee I ant going to propose a mea-
ure that will require every hen m Iowa
to Jay-en egg every :4ay and if she thlls
to do so .that the government shall
make up to the owner of that hen the
value of the egg she did not ley."
This statement was . made today by
Clifford Thorne ''counsel for several
Western state railroad commissions and
nippers' - association In preaentlng the
shippers' side of tha ease at the hearing
before the Interstate Commerce commis-
sion on the application of Eastern rail-
roads for a general Increase In freight
rates. The hearing came to an end .to-
day and arguments will be heard next
week with every indication of an early
decision by the oommiaeion. The pre-
sentation of the case . of the opposing
shippers occupied lese than two hour
aa against Ave days . occupied by wit-
nesses for the carriers!.' Mr. Thorne took
the position that no business depression
was shown by the carrier that did not
equally affect- shipper and that the in-
crease would be unjust.- Counsel fer ell
other shipper re presented Joined in tho
statement fj "
PENNSYLVANIA UNSt

The carriers closed their case with the
testimony. of . Samuel Bee president of
the Fenneytvenln system Hs statement
followed closely the Ilnee of previous evi-
dence' offered end hie cross examination
waa brief: v .uv?;' .
Louie Brand! counsel for the com-
mission drew Mr. Rea'e attention to the
decision of the eommtsalon in the original
I per cent caae which pointed out it In-
ability to aee the Justice of raising rates
en freight shipments to conduct the pas-
senger trafflo shown to be operated at
a deficit...'
"Has anything occurred since that rul-
ing which-in your -opinion Justifies Its
modification nowf" Mr. Brandels asked
"Nothing that I know of" admitted Mr.
Rea. -
Mr. Thorne asked If It were not true
that the net revenue of the carries in
Kit bad equalled 7.41 per cent on all
outstanding stock. Mr Rea admitted the
figure were oorrect. .Mr. Lyon repre-
senting coal : shippers : of Pennsylvania
asked if the Pennsylvania system had
contemplated any reduction of salaries
to officers and empkoyea to meet the
emergency. v' -
Mr. Rea said' her did not believe he
should discus that auhject and the ques-
tion waa not pressed s
STATEMENT BY .'
SHIPPER'S COUNSSC
Mr. Thorn' etatement In part follows:
"The carriers are . proposing a i per
cent advance in the freight rate not
only In official classification territory but
In tha throua-h rates between all rjolnta
in thia eastern territory akd those States
west or tae Mississippi river wmcn 1
represent. We will nay the advances on
the raw products moving from eastern
factories to the west we catch It both
ways coming and' going; and we are
ublect to the long hauls.
"The marmtt prices of many of our
staple produot are controlled by the
pricee at the Atlantto coaat leas freight
rates. An advunce tnvour fretght rates
la equivalent to moving our Tarm and
Induatriea that much further from mar
ket; It reduce our price that much.
; In the aggregate that .will amount to a
very large sum of money.
"There is not the slightest spirit ot
hostility in- our attitude to trie railroads
We felly- appreciate their vast im-
portance in the commercial life of t-.e
nation. So .is the prosperity of the
farmer basic and fundamental to tho
welfare of tho nation. Ukewise the
welfare tL' the laboring man Is of tre-
mendous iippottance to the prosperity of
the country A general advance of 10
per cent in wages during this period of
depression.1 according to the ' pleasing
logic we'1 have been listening to during
the last feW days would put that much
more money into circulation. No man
spends his money more freely than does
tha laboring .man.
THIRD TIME """"
ADVANCE- ASKED.
"This is the third time American rail-
roads have sought to force a general ad-
vance in. freight ratea In 110 they
claimed a cr'sis existed. Instead of a
crisis the commission found that to be
the most prosperous year in the whole
history of American railroad. In the
original 6 per cent case basing their
claim on the year 19l the claim of a
crisis was again made and you conclud-
ed that there I no crili in the condi-
tion of the railroad In official elasslfl-
cation territory taken aa a whole.'
"Now for the third time the rallroade
claim there I a crista Today they have
some foundation for their claim. But
thia emergency upon which the car-
riers are relying today affect practically
all of ua in the same manner. It la fol-
lowing ftarlod of marked depression In
business for about a year subsequent to
the Balken war disturbance In Europe
and the short crops of last year.
"It 1 Just ss hard for the manufac-
turer the farmer the laborer the tele-
phone or the beef trust to borrow mon-
ey aa it I for the railroad tor do so.
'The rallroade are asking for a sort of
war tax; they are asking the government
to lift the burden off part of the commu-
nity and ahirt it over to the inqulder of
the bjer.
ALWAYS ASKING
FOR ADVANCES
"Freight rate are not Che cause. of the
present trouble. The railroad have "ad-
vanced freight rate' on the brain. What-
ever alls them financial difficult! over-
capitalisation general depression In bust
nese. oversupply of gold whatever the
oauae they have Juat one remedy: ad-
vanced freight rate a aort of cure all.
"The nreaent emergency can be met In
either of two ways:
"I. By the use of accumulated surplus
or I by a alight reduction In the divi-
dend rate.
- The company that ha wisely husband-
ed a substantial surplus during the past
14 years -of unprecedented .prosperity
sen now meet the situation easily by a
retort to It accumulated surplus. A
company that haa not xercled thai pre-
Oautlone can reduce It dividend rat.
On June 10 114. the accumulated sur-
plus of these eastern carriers was tltt-
04040. The very purpose Of allowing
this large aurplu to develop has been
Just such a situation as now confront us.
RBOULATION 4AI0
TO BE HARD ON LINE.
"It has been claimed that government
regulation ha been hard en the rall-
roade Thia 1 not true rebates paseea
and rate wan being practically thlngo of
the peat. The result haa been an enor-
moua development of their properUee and
greet Increaaeo In their earnings.
The average rate of dividend on all
enstandlng stock hut year in the United
Bute aa a whole we more then double
what It waa 25 year ago. During this pe-
riod the per cent of stock paying divi-
dends ha steadily Increased and the
rate of dividends on dividend paying
atocka has steadily increased. The aver-
age dividend rate In. the United States la
more than ode-third greater then It la to
Oreet Britain as given In the official re-
porto to parliament The facto are that
fwernment regulation la the United
tatec hae been he greatest Massing eur
railroad have ever had."
