Says Taxpayers Have Saved Three Billion and Probably More

nvTRNATIONAL NEWS SEFVICt JTTAUTAirCrA. N. V.. A up:. 19. "Purtnff the ton rr.or.frui from S'i:fnibcr 1, 1910. to Junr r,o, lMll, the nfrs of the railways 1.-st J3T6.0CO.ftO. as a result of thfir rc.urn to private pe-rat ion," said Samuel O. Pann, -.!-tor xf the Railw.w Arc. in an address before tho Chautauqua, institution harrt today. "The. tajcpjiyi-rs of th country savM th cntrre anojiil and probably more-," h added . Re-ferrins- to tho fact thtit former Ii reetor-Ocncra-l of K oil roads TV. S. McAdoo and Ii recto r-G-on era! W. P. Hintis odvocated tho continue! operation of the railroads by the government for a. poriad of two t. five ytars, Mr. Dunn said: "IS overr-.rnor.t operation and the government g"uarantes had been continued, tho rental paid by th government to ihf railroad companies la tho ten months tndiid. Juae. 1921. would ha'e been $ 7 4 2. 500,0 00 . In these same ten month the railroads actually earned a ntt operating income of only 13 56.700,000 less than the roatal tho tovernraent -would have had to pay the companies If government operation had been cortt-nue-d . Therefor:. !n tho&s tea months tho owners of the raijroadg lost this much as a. result of the return of their properties to them, and the ta-xpayerB of the country saved this much." Answering public complaint of the present high railroad rates, Mr. unn said if government operation had continued, the rates possibly would not h.vo b-er. advanced but the. taxpayers would Have had to pay at least 11,150,000,000 to make up the deficit. "Tho saving to the public o! this hug amount of tajces is purely some off-set to the advances In rates." the editor declared. lie replied to the freig-ht rate complaints with a similar argrument. Mr. Dunn opposed ar'taion for arly g-er.era! reduction in rates and th repe-al of th provisions of the transportation act under which tho present rates were fixed, asertir.gr that the roads as yet iLave derived no real benefit from these rate-mak ir.g provisions. lie svtated that instead of earning a return at the ratf of 6 per cent during the first ten months the

proeer.t rates were in effect, they ' i-ce4 a return of iea than 2""6 peccent . "The public has no right to demand reductions in rates mado necessary by high expanses caaisod by the action of the govemneit bodies representing the public itself -until the publ'r haremoved the conditions created by itself which ma-kes higrh rates nccejsry." Dusq concluded .

Will you spend all of your spare time this coming winter in carrying out ashes or will you buy WONDER COAL and almost eliminate the ash nuisance? WONDER COAL will burn down to less than 75 pounds of ashes to the ton. No clinkers, no soot, very little smoke. Five tons of WONDER COAL will go as far as four tons of hard coal, or seven tons of the best soft coal.
