What the railroad traffic manager has had to do, therefore, has been to build up, step by step, meeting conditions as they arose, a scheme of freight rates which would enable the railroad to pay its expenses and a reasonable return upon the capital invested, out of an average freight rate, adjusted in such manner that the burden would bear where it would be least felt.

The tremendous distances, the diversity of products, the wide separation of markets, have resulted in the development of a system of freight rates which, with all of its shortcomings, is the wonder of the economic world.
