L, EXPENSE Director General Hines Says Rail- road Transportation Costs — Are Lowest in History. NOT CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES. Freight Advances Compared With Rise in Value of Goods—Transportation Cheapest Thing Public Buys, Charges on Some Articles, Data compiled from authoritative sources shows that railroad freight rates are the least factor in the cast of living. Although the proportion of the total cost of goods that can be charged to transpertation is not known with statistical accuracy, it is estimat- ed that the average transportation cost of things produced in this country is & very small percentage of their total cost to the consumer, Freight Cost 24 Per Cent of Total. In a letter to Representative John J. Esch, chairman of the House Commit> tee on Interstate and Forelgn Com- merce, Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the Southern Pacific Company, points out that im the last five years the value of goods increased on an ay- erage of $63 a ton, while frefght charges advanced only 60 cents a ton. In five years, he explains, the aver- age value of freight carried by the railroads increased from $56 to $119 a ton, The cost of carrying this increds- ed frem $2 to $2.80, paid to the rail- roads. In 1914, he adds, 3.6 per cent of the total cost of the goods was In 1919 only 2.4 per cent was spent. “In other words,” Mr, Kruttschnitt writes, “only 80 cents out of $63, or 1.3 cents out of every dollar of increase In value of commodities in 1919 was caus- vd by increased freight charges. The responsibility for the remaining $62.20, | or 98.7 cents out of every dollar, must be sought elsewhere, It was not caus ed by freight rates.” 2 Rates Lowest in History. 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 thing the public It is sold for less than the cost of production, considering all the ele- ments of cost. In a statement on this subject to the New England Bankers’ Association) Waiker D. Hines, Director General of, Railroads, said: “I think {t is a fair statement that 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 less percentage of the pricewf that commodity than ever before in the history of the coun- try.?

New England shoes are shipped from Boston to Florida at a cost of less than 52-3 cents a pair. This is an in- crease of only one cent over the pre- war rate. The railroads also carry beef from Chicago to New York for a charge of about two-thirds of a cent | a pound. Typewriters are carried from New York to St. Louis for 66 cents.
