To the Public
On Monday, March 1st, the
railroad lines of the Southern Pa-,
cific Company were returned to
their owners for operation. As a
war measure they have been in
charge of the government during
the last two years and two months.
The stockholders in that period had
nothing to do with the manage-
ment.
In taking over the management
of this property, the policy ct the
owners will be to give as satisfact
ory service as lies in their power in
return for the patronage given us;
to seek the co-operation of shippers
and passengers and of the whole
people in having our service reason
ably responsive to the public needs.
We have to ask the patient for
bearance of the public during the
readjustment period of the next aix
months. It is true during these
six months the Government contin
ues the standard return allowed the
lines while under its control, based
on the pre-war earnings. But this
return is subject to certain legisla
tive directions by congress that will
affect operations during this period
which enda August 31st next. We
expect, however, within this six
months to mature plans for the fu
ture. These plans had to be held in
abeyance thus far because of uncer
tainty.as to the legislative condi
tions to accompany the return of
the roads to their owners for oper
ation, and these conditions have
been determined by congress only
within the last few days. We now
hav t study what, is before us in
law and in fact and get -our bear
ings anew.
- The Operating organization as it
existed under Southern Pacific man
agement has been to some extent
dibarranged during the period of
federal control and operating prac
tices that may jiave proved efficient
' in the public service during the
government control period, will, of
course, be retained. .
We could not purchase equipment
after we entered the war because
the government took control and
war financing occupied the field,
while during the rest of the time
the question of adequate credit hd
to wait for answer in congressional
action. On the other hand, the
locomotives and cars In service
have been subjected to the most ac
tive us; and new rolling stock has
not been renewed throughout the
country in normal numbers for the
increase of normal traffic. The
burden of extraordinary war move
ments fell heavily upon all kinds of
rolljng stock, making it impossible
to shop the equipment at the proper
time, and repair work was further
delayed by shortage during the
larger part of the war period in
both men and material.
Tne problem before us at one,',
therefore, is how to put to the
best use the passenger train cars
and the freight cars that are in
service, and how to put into good
condition for service every piece of
equipment to be had. This prob
lem ia before every railroad.
Abreast of this is the larger ques
tion whether the earnings under
the new law, the "Transportation
. Act of 1920", will be enough to es
tablish the credit of the railroads
-at a point were they can provide
themselves with the facilities of all
kinds that they need to give the
public proper service. We have the
will if only we can . find the ways
and means. These are not easy to
find, for an assumed earning of ev
en 6 per cent, and no assurance of
that, is not attractive U anyone
having money to invest when money
is worth 7 or 8 per cent in the open
market.
Hence, the effect of the new act
of congress upon earnings and upon

' Mr. and Mrs. Ed Wunder and
the credit of the railroadi cannot
be Immediately determined. This
aot provides for rate-making
structure, under which.-during the
next two yean the railroads will
be permitted to earn up to 5) per
cent annually on the value of the
railroads as may be determined by
the Interstate Commerce Commit- '
sion. The Commission hat power
at its discretion to increase these
possible earnings to 6 per cent, the
added one-half of 1 per cent to be
used only for improvements to
the property.
No guarantee of any kind it giv
en to any railroad, but half of any
earnings over 6 per cent are to be
taken by the government to make
loans to railroads that may .need
them for improvements or to care
for obligations falling due, or to
obtain and lease equipment to the
carriers th at cannot afford to buy
It.
Obviously these elementi In the
situation will have to be considered
in making our plans. The Inter
state Commerce Commission is the
deciding body with respect to value -of
the properties, as well as the
rates which are to yield the 61 per
cent return thereon, and much will
depend upon the vision and prompt-
nesa tf action with which that body
accepts its great responsibilities.
In the meantime, it Is particular
ly desirable, in view of the short
age of equipment, that every effort
be made by shippers and the rail
way forces to continue heavy car
loading and train loading, and to
lose no time in loading and unload
ing cars.
Believing that we will have the
full co-operation of the people serv
ed by our lines In dealing with the
problems presented, it it due them"
that in thus aiding us they should
know what, problems we have to
meet. You can rest assured wa
are not idle with respect to them,
