This would have paid for 17 all-steel box cats every day or a modern freight or passenger locomotive every other day Union Pacific System tax payments since 100O have been as follows: State and Federal County taxes taxes 11,256,839 Year 1900 1910 1912 1917 1020 1921 1922 3,205.969 4.336,265 6,121,174 9,841,767 9,878,649 9.831,822 346,792 332,610 3,113.962 4,250,331 2,668,506 3,419,730 Total ? 1,256,839 3,552,761 4,668.875 9,235,136 14,092,0f:8 10,847,155 13,251,552 Fiscal yr. ending June 30 Calendar yr. ending Dec 31 Union Pacific System taxes for 1922 consumed 6 87 cents out of every dollar of gross earnings and 27.03 cents out of every dollar of net earnings. Total taxes paid by all railroads of the United States in 1922 were $304,885,153, which was almost as much as the cost of digging the Panama Canal. Taxes exceed ed cash dividends paid by the railroads in each year since 1917, or the entire expense of running the United States Government in 1916. They amounted to 5.4 per cent of the entire gross,earnings. . Railroads are the largest tax payers in many states. In some counties railroad taxes equal one-half the total. Some of the tax money provided by the railroads is used to build and maintain highways on which trackless competitors operate. Some of these highway transpor tation routes serve as feeders for the railroads, but in most cases they take t.onagefrom the rail lines, and the taxes levied on the railroads and their trackless com petitors are often unjustly apportioned. Senator Barah, speaking in Congress last December, said: "It will be very difficult to reduce freight rates if we continue in this country to increase taxes upon the railroads as we have for the last four years. . . These public utilities must collect this money from but one source, and that is from those who ship." Railroads, like other businesses, must pay taxes. They are willing to pay their share, but they ask that the tax burden be equitably distributed, and that the public appreciate that taxation is an element of increas ing importance in railway costs. The PRICE of transportation is bound to keep pace with the COST of transportation. We are bending every effort to reduce the cost. Constructive suggestions are always welcome.
