RAILROADS HAVE
HOT PROVED CASE
Manufacturers File Briefs At?
tacking "Reasonableness of
Proposed Rates.
Washington, b, <:., January S?"It
I? evident that there Is j ho prosump'j
tlon one way or the other that tho
carriers cfllelently nnd economically'
operaLe. ami as the burden rests upon
them undci- tho Interstate commerce
act III prove their ease, to prove It
they must show eHieicui management."
This. Is one ..f the Imnortnnt propo?
sitions laid down !n the brief die I
with the Interstate Commerce Conti
mission by William Imil Itaytie ;?rl
If. C, Lust, on behalf of the' Illinois;1
j .Manufacturers' Association, In tba
I ponding Investigation by the commtsi
s(on of the proposed udvaucca In
freight rates by tue ratlronds,
It is maintained in the brief that
attempted proof of einclchl and eco?
nomical management shows the same
evils to-day as many years ago, "when
It beeanic necessary to institute go\
? rnmental regulation ot the carriers;'}
While the brlei deals generally with
the rate situation throughout the conn
try. It makes the more particular ret
entice to the proiiojic'd advances bV
the roads In Western trunk line tet
rltory. These are not advances Oil
?lass rates, but on commodity rale.-,
approximately sixty commodities being
selected to bear the proposed Increases!
it Is urged in the brief that a part ot
the burden of proof Is to show that
the rate, jjs to particular commodi?
ties affected are reasonable. This, ll
Is submitted, ha- hot been done.
Much of the argument >s on the
question as to what constitutes a rea?
sonable rate. "The railroads contend."
asserts tiie brief, "that It is value of
I the service to the shipper, namely; all
thnt the irattle will Hear. We main?
tain that all that the curler is enti?
tled to earn is a return ol not to ex?
ceed ? per cent, upon the amount ac?
tually invested In good faith In thn
property, provided Ihe property has
been efficiently operated and I ho rate.?
which yield such a return don't unduly
burden the public.
It is contended that the proper hn.iV;
of rates "Is the actual Investment of
the carrier In good faith, II the road
I? efficiently operated and the. rates
just to the people. The reasonable
rates hoi only must give only a rea?
sonable return to the railroad, hut
should not exact from the public, more
than a reasonable .suit| for the set
I vices performed. if it doe:', the rate
I cannot stand."
Then follows an analysis of the ease,
. presented to the commission In thn
[ testimony. This proves, it l? contend?
ed. "In this Inquiry the carriers have
lint made out a case, and, therefore,
arc not entitled to any Increase."
