To this end, congress has provided that the nation shall be organized for war by selection, and that each man shall be classified for service in the place to which it shall best serve the gen- eral good to call him. The signifi- cance of this cannot be overstated. “It is a new thing in our history and a landmark in our progress. It is a new manner of accepting and vital- izing our duty to give ourselves with thoughtful devotion to the common purpose of us all. It is in no sense a conscription of the unwilling; it is, rather, selection from a nation which has volunteered in mass. It is no {more a choosing of those who shall march with the colors than it is a selection of th who shall serve an equally necessary and devoted pur- pose in the industries that lie behind. WHY A FREIGHT RATE ADVANCE? (Wall Street Journal.) To the general proposition that the railroads are entitled to charge more than the present rates for their serv-| ices while war price for labor and materials obtain, the shippers, as a whole, have offered little opposition. It is safe to say that a majority of them concede that an advance in ‘rates is not only justified in fairness j to owners of railroad securities, but jis actually required to enable the} carriers to perform their vital func- { tion in a time of national crisis. Such opposition as there is pro- | ceeds, first, from groups of shippers who assert that a flat percentage ad- vance will bar their access to mar- kets in competition with nearer pro- ducers; and second, from a small but active experienced coterie of state commissioners and rate attorneys who may, without unmerited disrespect, be referred to as professional objectors. | Just claims of the first class the com- | mission may be relied upon to recog: nize through modifications of the pro- posed traffic. or postponement of their | effective date in specific cases. All of the- elaborate and at times confusing statistics of dast week's hearing in Washington may be put into’a nutshell by saying that if the increase in expenses for 1917 approx- imates the estimates which leading railroad executives, on their oath, say | | have been carefully and conservative: | ly. prepared, and based upon higher unit costs already in force, the net | revenues of the carriers as a whole | for this year will be less than they were for the fiscal year 1914 by per-| haps $10,000,000, or 14 per cent. They will be something like $200,000,- 000, or 25 per cent, under those of | 1913, and’ well below those of either 1912 or 1911, notwithstanding that ithe carriers are doing half again as mteh business as in the last-named year, and have invested in round num- bers $3,000,400,009 in additional facill- ties since that time. Heretofore the American method of | rate regulation has been to refuse to look to the clearly indicated develop- ments of the near future and to re quire the railroads to justify their | Pleas for higher rates upon hardships | actually experienced. In 1914, the} With the Editors commission found that ‘the,,yet rev- enues of the carriers east of the Mis- sippi and north of the Ohio rivers were er than is demanded in the interest of both the general public and the railroads.” It then allowed an advance of 5 per cent upon roughly half of the traffic moving in that ter- ritory. During the next year the com- mission added increases in interstate passenger fares, the benefits of which were. in, part, defeated ‘by tho refusal of states to alter their,two-cent fare laws. All of these rate increases were nul- lified practically before they became effective by rising operating costs. About the middle of 1915, the carriers began to enjoy the rising tide oft prosperity in the United States which had its impetus in the demand of warring Europe for food, raw mate- rials, and the munitions of war. Net earnings reached unprecedented pro- portions early in 1916, and continued on a high level until about the end of the year. Then came the Adamson law, and increases in practically all wage scales, and soon thereafter the expiration of contracts for fuel and steel supplies which had been made at the compgratively low prices of 1915 and the first months of 1916. Swallowing the dangerous assump- tion that the adjustment of rates to conditions that are past would work in ordinary times, we must consider today that the United States has en- tered upon a military and economic struggle certain to test, if not to strain, even its enormous resources, to say nothing of its capacity for or- ganization and for handling quickly a huge volume of unfamiliar business. That ample transportation service of the best kind is the first essential to success in such a venture is not open to argument. Is it the part of wisdom, then, just as we are about to ask of the rail- roads an amount and character of service never required before, to com- pel them to go back to the admitted- ly unsatisfactory fiscal status of three or four years ago, which would in all probability bring another string of receiverships and reorganizations in it strain, before we afford them any relief from rigid rates and rising costs? The question answers itself. ae a-—— | CAPITOL NOTES 0.
