Brookings Oregon Local News Items Compare/ What do you think railroads make? The public thinks we make 15% What do you think they should make? What are the facts? Actually the railroads earned only 2 3/<% in 1946. The public thinks 10% would be fair £ To provide the service you want, railroads need to earn at least 6%. But estimates indicate that even with the recent freight ra ti increase, the return for 1947 will be only about half that requirement. J. J.

H haf We Make B ut for the year 1946, with the biggest peace-time traffic in history, the rail roads earned only . . . 2 \ This is less than one-half the comparable earn ings for other industries. The reasons for this low return are not hard to find. Since 1939 railroad wages have increased 526/io% and the prices of fuel, materials and supplies have gone up 616/io%. But freight rates have just recently been increased an average of only 17®/io%—a year a^ter e^ ective ° ate of the last big wage increase. What About Thi» Year? I t is estimated that the return for 1947, even with the recent &•*»>»««*• £ crease, will be only about half the 6% minimum return required to provide the improvements and service needed. This will be because of increased costs of materials and supplies; because cer tain wage increases granted m 1940 were in effect for only part of 1946 but will be in effect for all of 1947; because of increased special payroll taxes on railroads; and because of a decline in passenger business. What Doe» This Mean To You? The answer is “ Plenty!” Your standard of living is the highest in the world be cause of MASS PRODUCTION. But mass production would not be possible with o u t MASS TRANSPORTATION, w h ic h t h e railroads provide at low cost. Why 6% 1» Needed The kind of service your standard of living requires takes a lot of money for new equipment and improvements. To carry out the post-war improvement program for better equipment, tracks, terminals and modem safety devices, a minimum return of 6% is needed. So when the railroads make only 2’i cents on eac h $1.00 of their net prop erty investment, it concerns you.* The funds for future new equipment and improvements must come from rail road earnings and also from investors. They will furnish money on reasonable terms only if they have confidence in the future earnings of tlie railroads. You Have Another Stake In Thin Even if you do not own any railroad stocks or bonds, insurance companies and savings banks do. So you still have a special interest in seeing th at the rail roads are allowed enough to do a good job . . . for you.
