HILE the transportation magnates are trying to convince the country that a five per cent. increase in freight rates | ha is @ crying necessity, we hope nobody will overlook the re-' * giarke of John Wanamaker about railroads and their needs: | ' Last year freight charges were $998,260,000. A five per fmcrease would add to thie amount $50,000,000 more, | the people would all find added to the cost of articles | they buy. ° | Mr. Wanamaker puts his finger on the'sore spot. Why should the railroads be permitted to ease off their. responsi- Wilities by sticking more ciphers on to the high cost of living as it affects the general public? Why ehouldn’t they boost efficiency rather than rates? Let them overhaul their executive systems, their bookkeeping, parchasing end accounting departments. Jet them learn how to save by pending it wisely. Let them quit trying to be producers, public utility grabbers, everything under the sun beside | iblic carriers. Let them resolve to be first class railroads with | tan of efficiency, eoonomy and cheapness that will draw an in- | freaeed volume of business from the public. | As we pointed out the other day in this column, the New Year Beat tp went with 100,521 idle freight cars as against 139,862 TBE the came time « year ego. The number jumped 83,008 during \ the fortnight from Dec. 15 to Jan. 1. +. Does this look as if the railroads needed to buy more equipment? Drie their real ‘necd more business? -, . Lake other interests, the railroads see the only panacea for pres- ft troubles in laying freeh taxes upon the public, without obliging Vhemedives to give one iota more in return. . Labor clamors continually for higher wages. Does it offer in ‘Return greater output, inoreased conscientiousness and efficiency? The meat barons screw their prices higher and higher. Do they Ns any more beef? » The farmer wante more money for his produce. Do we get potatoes or more of them? ; Yet a considerable body of public sentiment applauds each of demands in turn because of « foolish notion that the way to d the hole in the roof of your left hand neighbor is to tear thatch the roof of the fellow who lives on your right. Altogether too much so-called economic adjustment in the } United Stater proceeds on thie pumle-headed theory that it is per- tlesible to nlunder Peter provided you propitiate Paul. => Whoa, as in the case of a general raise of freight rates, Petdr. 8 to bo millions of people already taxed and supertix-d to the ds The Evening World Daily Magazine, Thursday, Januaty 1 sv 19147 Congright, 1914, by The Mew Publishing Co, (The New York Mrening World) * Copyright, 1916, by The Pree Prbtthhiag Oo, (The Now York Brening World), M DAUGHT®SR, as the favors at a cotillon, so are HUBBANDS TANGO WRINKLE PREVENTORS out among you; and, in the scramble, no woman knoweth what To NEAR WHILE shall receive. ) DANCING 9 For, it hath come to pass, that an husband is not a matter of ch )) 3 . but a matter of “catch-an-catch-can” and she that waiteth for the “Ri Man” shall, peradventure, keep right on watting.
