Your cost of Living
'1()LIR ( )UR cost of living should be directly affected. If it is not it is
1 because (1) as the railways have pointed out before, the
actual money paid for their services is an almost negligible'factor
in snaking prices, and because (2) even the huge suns now cut out
of the railways' revenues and amounting to approximately -
$25,000,000.00 *
annually --becomes a very small fraction of a cent when split up
among the billions upon billions of small and large articles which
constitute the freight traffic of Canada during a year. And because
(3) the Court which has the power to control railway rates is not
able to direct who is or is not to get the benefit of reductions. in
other words, whether these savings in railway charges are passed
on to you -or whether they are absorbed in marketing, cannot be
controlled either by the railways or the public.
BUT this fact remains: a very great sum of money -
enough to build every year a small city, or a Que-
bec Bridge, or four hundred and fifty of the newest and
most powerful locomotives is now removed from the
revenues of the Canadian Railways and should he
reflected, at least to some extent, in the family budgets
of all Canadians !
WHE1 HER your railways can continue to function without the
revenue thus lost to them, is an experimental problem facing.
the various managements. it depends largely on whether traffic
keeps up or falls off ----and whether costs rise or decline. But the
managements are attempting the problem cheerfully and with
determination to keep Canada's railway service the cheapest, mile
for mile, and among the most efficient In the world!
