If the Western District in 1926 had been allowed a 41.00 per cent increase over the 1915 average ton-mile earnings (that being the percentage increase effective in the South), the Western roads would have receivcd $76,008,329 more from their freight traffic than they actually did receive. If thc Western District in 1926 had been allowed a 69.35 per cent increase over the 1915 average ton-mile earnings (that being the percentage increase effeetive in the East), the Western roads would have received $446,210,585 mo~e from their freight traffic than they actually did receive. The important part which agricultural tonnage plays in the earnings of the Western lines, as contrasted with the rail ways in other sections of the country, is shown by the following statement: Freight Revenue' By General Commodity Groups, 1923 Group West East South Products of Agriculture $377,155,000 $ 179,560,000 $115,718,000 Animals & Products 124,410,000 100,264,000 ' 18,056,000 Products of Mines 312,815,000 886,024,000 267,753,000 Products of Forests 206,021,000 98,087,000 115,699,000 Manufacturers & Miscellaneous 484,614,000 665,160,000 169,337,000 Merchandise, All L.
