Perry Old Bank Building Maupin, Oregon Railroad Earnings Are Not Guaranteed A common impression exists that railroad earnings are in some way guaranteed by the Government. This is not a fact. The railroads were paid for the Federal Control period a fixed rental and were given an option for con tinuance of this basis for six months thereafter. This arrangement expired August 31, 1920, since which time nothing even resembling a guarentee"has been in effect. Under the Constitution a railroad has always been entitled to earn a fair return upon its property devoted to the public use, the percentage which constituted such fair retur being a question for determination by the courts. The transportation act says: "In the exercise of its power to prescribe just and reasonable rates, the Commission shall.. ..adjust such rates so that carriers.. ..will, under honest, efficient and economical management... earn an aggregate annual net railway operating income equal, as nearly as may be, to a fair return upon the aggregsfte value''of the common carrier property, giving "due consideration... to the transportation needs of the country and the necessity... of enlarging such facilities in order to pro vide the people of the United States with adequate transportation." For the two years ending March 1, 1922, such fair return was fixed at per. cent. Since then it has been reduced by the Commission to 5.75 per cent. In no year however have the railroads secured the fair return contemplated by the Act, as the following will show; Year Percentage Actually Earned 1920 . 0-33 1921 - 3.3 1922 4.14 It is entirely clear, therefore, that the law in no sence guarantees the earnings of the railroads. If it did, the Goverment would owe one railroad? more than a billion dollars for deficits in 1920, 1921 and 1922. Since January 1, 1923, the earnings of the railroads as a whole have been better than for the same period in any of the three preceeding years, but the rate of return is still lower than the Interstate . Commerce Commission has perscribed as reasonable. The Transportation Act has not been the cause of increases in railroad rates. One of the authors of Act has said: "Rates have advanced simply because the cost of maintenance and operation has more than doubled since pre-war days while railroad rates, taken as a whole, are now about 54 per cent higher than they were be fore the Goverment took over the railroads at the begin ing of the year 1918" The price of transportation can only be reduced as the cost of transportation is reduced and the railroad, s cost of living hes increased in like proporlion to that of the individual. Every effort, however, is being made to reduce it. Constructive suggestions are always welcome. C. K. Gray, . Omaha, Nebraska, President. August 1, 1923.
