What reading level is Why Railroads Need Higher Rates book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The average family of five persons will use how many barrels of flour a year? Two a year?
Mr. Dawes. (Of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy.) A barrel per person per year.
Mr. Ripley. That is five barrels; that would be 50 cents on the flour they would use, assuming they paid it. Nobody has suggested, that I know of, the raising of the rate on flour $1 a ton or 5 cents per 100 pounds. Nevertheless that is all it would amount to. It cuts no figure whatever. The rate on dry goods is a large item to... one big wholesale dealer, what he pays on his dry goods. It is no item at all to the consumer, and he would not know of it if he was not told of it. Take heavier things like a keg of nails, which weighs 100 pounds; nobody would ever dream of raising the rate on naUs, so far as I know, more than 2-1/2 cents; but supposing they raised it 5 cents per 100 pounds, one-fifth of a cent a pound on nails, and other things in proportion.
How TO Fix Kates.
Mr. Lyon. Do I understand from that, then, that if the Commisision should make an investigation as you say of every commodity which these carriers are now raising the rates upon between all points, and investigate the labor question and the manufacturing question and all the infinite number of questions which enters into the oommereial conditions of the country and should further investigate and find that the in- creased cost of a pair of shoes to the consumer is smiall, hav- ing determined that as a fact, that it is small, that therefore they should permit the rates to go into effect?
