The fallacy that agood power and car condition costs money is refuted by ChartsNos. 2 and 3. CWAT^T WO.

The con-dition of power in each group was taken from federal reports. 185 The average condition in the lowest cost group is the best,while that in the highest cost group is the worst. The leadersin each group show an even more striking relationship. Thebest condition in the highest cost group is 90 times the bestin the lowest cost group. The chart showing freight train car conditions reflects asimilar condition. The costs and condition of cars have beentaken from federal reports furnished by the Bureau of Statis-tics of the I. C. C. The lowest cost group is also the bestcondition group. These charts of cost and condition explain the truth of Harrimans policy that: A d
