Manner In Which Freight Rate Prob
lem Is Solved Will Decide Fate of
Roads, Chicago Authority Says.
Alfred II. Mulliken, president of Pet-
tlbone, 'Mulliken & Co. of Chicago, one
of tbe best posted men lu the country
on railroad topics, has made a public
statement in which he says;
Every man In the United States who
Is interested in the return an$l main-
tenance of prosperity la asked to con
sider carefully the following facts.
Although the recent adversity came
when the prosperity of the railroads
was most pronounced, It was duo to
the attacks upon them, which com
pelled tbe roads to stop all expendi
tures for improvement, as this attack
upon their credit made It Impossible
for them to sell bonds or obtain money.
Tbe panic of 1007 was caused by the
attack upon railway credit, which cre
ated n fear in the minds of tbe people
which led them to distrust nil securi
ties. But, putting aside railroad his
tory. we are now faced by a condition,
not by the past.
All Desire Prosperity.
Whnt we all desire is prosperity. Wo
cannot be prosperous If any large In
terest among our people Is suffering
and depressed. The credit of an In
dividual or of a corporation is only im
proved by an Increase In their net
earnings. The railroad expenses have
increased In the one item of labor alone
$100,000,000 In the last twelve months.
They face this situation: Either reduce
wages, increase freight rates or go
Into tbe hands of receivers and stop nil
payments for Interest and dividends.
The roads have 1>een forced by public
opinion and by the administration to
advance wages and by tbe same are
unable to reduce them. They are there
fore compelled to face tho other two
alternatives.
We know what would be the effect of
many roads going into tho hands of
receivers. Tho only practicable alter
native, therefore, Is to advance freight
rates throughout the country.
Inorsssss Not F«l$ by Consumars.
This advance will eventually fall
upon tbe consumer, but it will be so
•mall that he will not notice it. For
Instance, a 10 per cent horizontal in
crease in freight rates would hardly
bo known by any consumer. This In
crease on a suit of clothes from New
York to Chicago would be less than 1
cent per fiult on a pair of shoes from
Boston to Chicago less than half a cent
per pair, on aderby hat from New
York to Chicago leas than one-third of
a cent per hat To the railroads It
would mean an Increase of $140,000,000
to $150,000,000 in earnings per year.
Tbe proposed Increase Jn freight
rates will not change any distributing
center, will make no difference in any
line of basinets to tbe people engaged
In it But it makes an enormous dif
ference, not only to tbe steel Interest
for example, but to business generally,
if there is a demand for only 60 per
cent of tbe steel producing capacity of
the country.
The Carriers as Buyers.
Tbe railroads consume 50 per cent
of the iron and steel manufactured in
this country, and the moment railroad
buying ceased activity In tbe steel
mills diminished and business gener
ally was Impaired.
Tbe railways are tbe second largest
purchasers of everything In tbe United
States. Seventy per cent of their earn
ings are Immediately distributed for
Inbor and material. Within tbe last
twelve months they have Increased
their payments to tbclr employees over
$100,000,000. Does any one think that
this $100,000,000 Is not a benefit to tbe
people?
Dividends paid by all tbe railroads In
tbe United States In 1007. tbe most
prosperous year, was 3.73 per cent
Tbe average dividend per annum paid
by all railroads In tbe past thirteen
years was leu than 2V4 per cent per
year.
Our Roads Charge Lowest Rates.
Freight rates are lower In this coun
try than in any other, and tbe service
here Is much better than In any other
region on earth.
The capitalization of tbe railroads In
the United States Is lower than In any
ether country. Tbe average Is about
$07,000 per mile In stocks and bonds.
In France tbe average Is about $140,-
000, In Germany about $110400, In
Engfond about $273,000 per mile, and
one English road Is capitalized at $000,-
000 per mile, on which It pays 4 per
cent dividends.
On tbeee high values tbe French rail
ways pay 4Jt per cent tbe English 4
per cent and tbe German 0.1 per cent
A redaction In* freight rates below a
fair return to the railroads doe* not
help any one.
Railroad Prosperity Helps AIL
II Is absolutely true that the rail
roads cannot prosper without helping
tbe people. They do not board their
earnings. As stated above, 70 per cent
of their gross earnings art spent Im
mediately for labor and materials.
If this advance In freight ratee tikes
place tt will Improve the credit of the
raOroedo, tt will enable them to eeil
long time bonds itihlr rats of In
terest end to obtain money to property
maintain and taprove their properties.
The railroads shoo id be helped, not
hindered. In their efforts *to keep out
of benkngrtey. improve their proper-
DRAWS DARK PICTURE OF
RULE OF RUIN IN VENEZUELA
Writer of Not* Describes Results of
Castro’s Rapacious Regime—Foreign
and Homa Industry Destroyed and
People Starving.
Over the signature of Stephen Bon
sai, who writes from first hand knowl
edge of affairs lu Venezuela, the New
York Times prints an article on “Ol-
priano Castro, Cattle Bandit of the
Andes.’’ Mr. Bonsai says:
It Is undoubtedly a mistake to char
acterize Castro as a South American
typo. He Is fortunately an exceptional
man in any continent
For many years now Castro has had
no relations with the respectable
classes among his fellow countrymen,
except those which the Jailer has with
his prisoners and the burglar with
those whom ho robs. One after an
other the European and tho South
American powers have at the Instance
of self respect boon compelled to sever
all relations with the "bad man** of
Caracas. The representatives of Co
lumbia, Chile, the United States and
France recently withdrew, and now
even tho stolid, long suffering Dutch
minister has gone, until today the dip
lomatic officers remaining In Caracas
can easily be transported In a four
seated barouche.
Looks Out For Own Profit

Several of the half hearted defend- j tnc.-lloal profession would bo as free
trs of tho Castro regime, and a few j QS j a now ( . arr y on proper expcrl-
•uch there are, say that all the
friction which has resulted In tbe al
most complete ostracism of Castro by
the civilized world has arisen over the
claims of foreign concession hunters.
After all. It Is asserted, these men In
vested their money in the country
with fall knowledge of tbe conditions
obtaining there, and several of them
In advance committed themselves to
the position of promising to seek no
redress for their wrongs, real or fan
cied, except nt tho hands of the Vene
zuelan courts.
Courts Aro Castro’s Creatures.
This view of reasoning sounds well,
but It Is not in accord with the facts.
When tbe American concessions which
have now been confiscated or are dis
puted wero made there were courts in
Caracas which commanded confidence,
and Castro has abolished them or
changed their personnel without ob
serving tbe due processes of tho law
In so doing.
Tho other charge which tho partisans
of Castro bring has much more founda
tion In fact. Tbe accusation is that
during the Matos rebellion all tho for
eigners aided the Mato* forces with
men, money, arms and Information.
These charges have never been proved
by evidence that would stand scrutiny,
but here at least there is some basis in
fact. In three years Castro had ham
pered and Indeed In many instances,
as In the atpbslt concession, absolute-
ly ruined every enterprise In the land

Then Matoe, an honest man of good
antecedents and with the beet blood

GERMAN TELEGRAPH CENSUS.
8howe Why United 8tatcs With Twice
the Population Sends Only Half as
Many Messages as Great Britain.
An Investigation Just completed by
tbe German government shown that
Great Britain sends tho largest num
ber of telegraph messages a year—04,-
000,000. The United States, with twlco
the population of tho United Kingdom,
sends only 05,000,000 messages, Ger
many 52,000,000 and France 58,000,000.
Tho position of tbe United States In
tbo next telegraph census will no doubt
be Improved by the quick, low cost
service of tbe new telegraph company,
the Telcpost
Tbe United States has 1,155,480
miles of telegraph wire, four times
as much as the United Kingdom, but
tho American companies earn only $24
per mile against earnings of $39.00 In
Great Britain, where the average cost
per message is only 10 cents as com
pared to an average cost of 32 ront:

In Germany tbe government lines'
find it profitable to carry a ten word 1
message between any two polnta In I
tbe emptre for 12 ceuta. This Is tbei
rule upon which tbe Telcpost will op*|
erate here-a flat rate of twenty-five:
worfle for 25 centa between all points.
The success of the German system'
appears to confirm tbe wisdom of the!
Telepoet In making a rate without re-1
gard to dlatance. With tbe largely lu- 1
creased business that Is shown to bej
tbe result of low rates and good serv
ice and with tho economies mado pos
sible by tbe Telepost’s automatic sys
tem, experts who have studied tbs
question believe that tbe now company
will make a larger profit at 25 cents
for twenty-five words than the old
companies make at much higher rates.
