Spokane, Wash., Aug. 26. Waldo G.
Paine, general traffic manager of the
Spokane & Inland Empire Electric
railway system and president of the
Spokane Transportation club, who
was the principal speaker at a lunch
eon by the Spokane Chamber of Cora
merceln honor of transportation men
on August 22, said in the course of
his address that investors have been
frightened by the attempted or threat
ened regulation and as a result It Is
difficult at present to secure new cap
ital for railroad enterprises.
"The sky se'ems to bi3 clearing a lit
tle for the railroads." he added, "but
similar action is being considered and
taking place against many other kinds
of business and unless you as indlvl
duals and as organizations take an ac
tive part in creating a sane and sensl
ble public opinion about business, the
same difficulty that now embarrasses
tho railroads will spread and be !
menace to other enterprises."
Reviewing the situation In the In
land Empire Mr Paine said thaV the
railroads already constructed repre
sent an expsndlture of 1250,000,000 and
give employment to 25,000 men dl
rectly and about 200,000 indirectly
adding: ;
"The gross annual earnings of the
group of railroads In the Inland Em
plre Is J37,000,000, of which . amount,
roushlv. 75 ter cent, or 127,750,000. Is
earn-ad In the handling of freight. Flf
teen per cent of the freight receipts Is
from the products of agriculture, four
per cent live stock, 46 per cent mlaes,
16 percent forests, 10 per cent manu
factures, four per cent merchandise
and four per cent miscellaneous
Forty cents of every dollar earned
by callroad8 in 19io was paid for la
bor, or 114,800,000, . was expended by
the railroads In the Spokane country
In cash payments to employes. Four
teen cents -was paid for fuel, or $5,-
180,000, principally to mines located
In the district ' About three cents of
every dollar, or $1,100,000, 1b paid In
taxes to the federal, state and city
governments. '
"Twenty per cent, or 17,400,000, Is
paid out In maintenance df track,
buildings and equipment, and outside
of steel rails, Is principally spent In
the territory served by. the railroads
using the materials. Out of the .bal
ance of 13 cents left from our dollar
must come loss and damage' claims,
Interest on funded and other indebt
edness, and if there Is anything left.
dividends t6 our stockholders.
The two street car companies op
erating in Spokane occupy 92.71 miles
of streets and have 154.11 mites of
track. The total Investment of both
companies Is $42,000,000. The com
bined payroll Is $252,000 a month or
$3,000,000 a year to 2,400 employes.
The total taxes are $182,000 a year.
We "have nine-tenths of a mile of
street occupied by tracks in this city
for every 1,000 population, or more
than any other city of similar size on
the continent" ' : ? i
Robert E. Strahorn, vice president
and general manager of the third di
vision of the Oregon-Washington Rail
road Navigation company, spoke of
the necessity for more railroads In the
northwestern country and urged the
business men to continue the work of
bringing in capital tor development,
adding:
. "All I ask Is that this organization
take some action before the next con
gress and legislatures tending to urge
against too much nagging legislation.
Edwin T. Coman, president of the
I
Exchang National bank, presided as
head of the chamber of commerce at
the luncheon, which was attended by
