Washington. April 2.-The condition In which the railronds And thrm»ri*ea as a result of constant Increases la wages, prices of material, taxes and other expenses, while their revenues an restricted by legislation, was strikingly described by Julius KnmachnltL Chairman of the I'xecutlve Committee of the Southern I’aciflc Company, la Ms testimony during the past few days before the Joint Congressional Committee on Interstate Commerce, which Is making s study of the question of railroad regulation. 11 r. Kruitschnltt urgeo the committee to recommend a plan of regulation which will ••enter responsibility for rcgti'-utiou and Us results In the federal government, that conditions affecting both exiHruses and revenues msy be made subject to a uniform policy Instead of the wasteful and often conflicting policies In solved In the svstem of comldued state and federal regulation. Why Roads Naod Mora Money. Mr. Krattschnlu's testimony also had a bearing on the reasons for the application of the roads to the Interstate Commerce Commission for s general advance In freight rate*. He showed that while the price of traiis|Mirtatlon has declined in recent years, the coal of producing transi>ortation. like the coat of almost everything else, has rapidly advanced. This he illustrMed by showing that if freight and i-assenger rates had Increased during the past twenty year* In the same pn>|Hirtloo as average commodity prims (In railroad* of the Tnlted Ftates would have received S1.6M.000.000 more for rrans portatIon In 191f> than they did rf-elve This saving to the public was effect ad. In spite of an Increase of 1*3 pet cent In the cost or operation of trains, by a reduction In the average passes per rat* per mile from 2-Oi cents In 1ES5 to 1.98 cents In 191V a decrease of S per cert and by a reduction In the average freight rate per ton mile from 839 mills In 189f. to T3 mills In 11*13. 13 per cant. During the same i-eriod the cool of operation per turn mile rose from K cents to H 7\ almost doubling. At the same time the aver age price of Sir, cotumodltW* enumerated in a bulletin of the Department of Agriculture Increased IK. per cent Transportation is practically the only commodity in general use that has not Increfsed tremendously In pn- e during the past twenty yean, freight and pas aenger charges t>einc lower than tb^ ware twenty years ago. Big Saving to Public. If rates had risen proi<orti»uale(y tc the Increase In the c-d of other art! cle* of ordinary use. Mr. Kruttschnltt told the committee, the average aenger rat* .n 1913 would have been 2.95 cents a mile, or 50 per cent higher than It wa*. and the »verage freight rau would have t>een 1.21 cents or 0i> per cent higher than it was The saving to the public in passenger fares through this difference was J.'.U.(a*>.

What an Owner Cannot do

Beyond a certain point an OWNER cannot raffolate the CONTRACTOR he employs. You can cage a leopard, but you cannot change his spots or hia point of vi«w.
