The two outstanding features of
the transportation situation at the
present time are the facts that the
railways are rendering to Ameri
can business more efficient service
than at any time in the history of
the country, and are accomplish
ing this achievement at co&s to
the traveling and shipping public
lower than prevail anywhere else
in the world. These statements
are made in a review of the trans
portation situation by W A Win-
burn, President, Central of Geor
gia Railway Company.
Mr. Winburn points out that
this year the railways are expend
ing for equipment,
improvements the enormous sum
of $1,500,000,000- He declares
that freight rates are not out of
liue with commodity prices, inas
much as rates are now 50 per cent
higher than in 1913 while the av
erage wholesale prioe of all com
modities is 57 per cent higher than
in 1913. Moreover, last year
while commodity prices were in
creasing, freight rates were re
duced 13 per cent. Mr. Winburn
asks if any other large American
industry reduced to the consumer
the cost of its product in 1922.
He declares that the future de
velopment ot transportation hinges
upon the ability of the railways to
secure sufficient capital to keep
pace with the business demands
of the country and asks for a fair
trial of the present Transportation
Act for a reasonable length of
time under normal conditions.
Attention is direoted to the faot
that despite widespread public be
lief there is no 6 per cent gnasan-
tea of railway earnings, bat the
