DRASTIC RAIL LAWS
SEEN BY WHEELER
Senate Committee Head Doubts
Higher Freight Ratei
Will Save Lines.
Bs the Assodited Press.
Chairman Wheeler. Democrat, of
Montana of the Senate committee
investigating railroad financing, said
yesterday that drastic and large-scale
legislation was necessary to solve the
problems of the carriers.
He declared few people believed the
roads could earn more money from
higher freight rates, "certainly not
enough to save them.”
In a formal statement which he
said was prompted by “uninformed
speculation” concerning his commit
tee’s legislative intentions, Wheeler
added:
"If a railroad cannot meet its ex
penses through increased earning*,
then it clearly must reduce its ex
penses. ,
’’This can be done by reducing bond
interest where roads are overcapital
ized and by reducing the much greater
expense of maintaining duplicate fa
cilities and services of all kinds which i
are now required because of the waste- i
ful competitive scramble for traffic.”
