Taxes have increased, and are increasing more rapidly than the value of the property. All these influences tend strongly toward higher freight rates, for they not only add to the cost of operation, but they increase the cost of the plant, upon which a return must be made. * * * The demands of the public will continue to add to both the expense of operation and the cost of the plant. Greater safety of operation will be insisted upon, and will require the outlay of considerable sums of money upon way and structures, and also extensive changes in equipment, and will still further add to the cost of operation itself by reciuiring the employ- ment of additional men and the use of the men under different conditions. It was said by the railway representatives that this increase in expense can no longer be of¥set by the introduction of further economies in the future, as in the past, and it seems probable that (in the future) the same kind of economies can- not be relied upon to the same ; I infer from this that the commission ]ielie\-es the railroads cannot go much farther in employing more efficient meth- ods to offset increased expense.
