Freight Cost 2.4 Per Cent of Total.
In a letter to Representative John J.
j Esoh, chairman of the House Commit-
tee on Interstate and Foreign Com-
merce, Julius Kruttschnltt, chairman
of the Southern Pacific Company,
points out that in the hist five years
the value of goods Increased on an av-
erage of $(13 a ton, while freight
charges advanced only W cents a ton.
In five years, he explains, the aver-
age value of freight carried by the
railroads Increased from $50 to $110 »
ton. The cost of carrying this increas-
ed from $2 to $2.80, paid to the rail-
roads. In 1911, he adds, 3.0 per cent
of the tot cost of the goods was
spent for tra;is[iortatlon. In only
2.4 per cent was spent.
. “In other words," Mr. Kruttschnltt
i writes, “only 80 cents out of $03, or 1.3
cents out of every dollar of Increase in
Lvalue of commodities In 1919 was enus-
1 .d by Increased freight charges. The
resp< risibility for the remaining $02 20,
or !*v7 cents out of every dollar, must

Rates Lowest in Hir.tory,
Comparison with transportation
charges In other countries shows that
In no other country of the world is
transportation furnished at so low a
cost as In the United States. Compar-
ed, too, with the cost of other goods
and services today, railroad transporta-
tion is the cheapest thin-' the public
linys. It is sold for less than the cost j
of production, considering all the ele-
ments of cost. !
In » statena nt on this subject to the
Vow England Bankers’ Association
Walker I>. Hines. Director General of
Railroads, said:
“I think It is a fair statement
thnt at the present time, despite
the Increases which have taken
place In freight rates, a ton of
steel or a ton of coal, a bushel of
wheat or the unit of any other
commodity has to pay for trans-
portation a loss percentage of the
price of that commodity than ever
before in the history of the coun-
try."
