GREAT NORTHERN OPERATING AND EQUIPMENT COST ADVANCES All the work that you do, all the work that everybody does, consists in moving from point to point yourself and in moving objects from one point to another. This is all that a railroad does. You know that it costs you something to do your own work. Do not forget that it costs the railroad immeasurably more to do its work, which is also your work, and without which the greater part of your labor and expense would be lost. Tn traveling on a completely equipped train with dining, parlor and sleeping car service, the facilities are the same as in high class hotels, The cost to the traveler is immensely less. Every item in the provision for both Henveng et and freight service costs more than it did. You travel over a mile of railroad track in a min- ute or two. This mile of track, exclusive of the grade and right of way, . which ¢ost $15,000 in 1913, now costs $25,000. Hs Here is a comparative list of the cost of Great Northern equipment-ten years ago with the cost of similar equipment now: ‘ - Cost in ~ 1923 $54,000 36,000 31,500 20,250 2/700 1,800 1,800 1,462 Cost in 1913 $24,000 16,000 14,000 9,000 1,200 Mountain Type Engines . Sleeping Cars . . Dining Cars . . Day Coaches . . Refrigerator Cars Ore Cars 2. « 800 Box Cars « « + 800 Flat Cars ws ss « 650 Taxes have increased in these same ten years over 100 per cent. This makes a formidable addition to the operating expense of every railroad. But at the same time railroad freight and passenger rates have increased. only about 40 per cent. For everything we have, food, shelter, clothing, and transportation, we must pay. Transportation has made this country what it is, and if it is impaired the whole country suffers disaster. It is worth thinking about asa matter of self interest as well as a matter of justice that the service is being rendered, under cost conditions most unfavorable to the carrier and growing yearly more difficult, at a price to the public so little over that of ten years ago. Take these facts into consideration whenever you think or talk about railroad rates, LOUIS W. HILL, Talk No. 6 Chairman of the Board. rae rete
