Three Factors Named by Sargent for RR Difficulties

Des Moines report cites three chief factors hurting railroads in the western district. Fred W. Sargent of Chicago, president of the Chicago Northwestern, told Des Moines Chamber of Commerce the causes include low freight rates, vigorous motor bus competition cutting long haul revenue, and Panama Canal impact on overland traffic. He warned subsidies and taxes favor road and canal transport over rail.

Railroad Reform Proposals From Mr Sargent at Meeting

Mr Sargent urged three remedies to the railroading crisis including a moderate freight rate rise, removal of restrictive laws or equal application to other transport, and higher Panama Canal tolls or tax relief for railroads. He noted Western District has 143,000 miles of rail and 50 systems, none yielding 5% historically, calling for careful study of the act known as the railroad guarantee law. He cited a 1915-1918 investment rise and growing taxes, with current year taxes projected at about 10.9 million after about 3 million in 1918.
