Railroads Propose Freight Hikes to Meet Six Percent Return
The Association of Railroad Executives told the Interstate Commerce Commission on May 5 that U S railways need an extra 1 017 billion dollars in annual revenue to reach a six percent return under the transportation act. Eastern lines seek a 30 4 percent freight increase, Western 23 0 percent, Southern 30 9 percent, with passenger rates kept steady. Net income fell from 1 056 billion in 1916 to 510 million last year as investments rose over 2 6 billion. The Eastern plan covers 144 lines, with Willard presenting figures for the east while western and southern needs follow. The commission will craft a new rate structure based on these figures.

Waterways Plan Remains Unsettled at Constitutional Convention
Springfield May 5 delegates failed to agree on the canals and Waterways section of the Illinois constitutional convention and sent the matter back to the committee for further study. The deep waterway plan divides supporters of delaying construction versus advancing it, with Chairman Vicero J. Lindley pushing the committee report and ex-Governor Joseph Fifer arguing the canal issue is not for the convention. Down state delegates discussed fair county representation in the general assembly, signaling a possible reduction of Cook County influence. Chicago Delegate Charles Hamill reported fifty pledged signatures toward sessions today, with twenty-five refusals and twenty-five undecided, aiming for seventy.
