Mr. Jewett called the attention of President Cooli dge to the fact that it was not an opportunity to borrow money that the wheat farmers needed, but rather a price for the product which he raised. Later these men also appeared before the Senate and House Committes on Argiculture at different times and carefully went over the bill with those bodies, explaining in detail just how operations would be carried on under the bill. The. Export Commision League has arranged to send A. N Wright, of Moro. and Wesley W.

Where the Railroad Dollar Goes Practically all the money the railroads take in is immediately put back into circulation. Railroads do a large volume of business on a narrow margin of net income. Out out of every dollar earned from operation by , the railways of the United States, there was absorbed in 1922 by Wages and Saloriea 44.4 cents Fuel 9.4 " Other operating and maintenance expences - including'5 such items as rails, and ties, loss and damage 25.8 " Taxes 6.4 '' Hire of equipment and joint facility rents.... 1.5 " Net Operating Income '. 13.7 " 100.0 , Out of this 13.8 centsof net operating income, 12.2 tents went for interest on bonds and other fixed charges, leaving 1.5 cents for stockholders. Adding 6.9 cents of income from outside sources, net corpor ate income was 8.4 cents, of which 4.9 cents was paid in dividends, leaving 3.5 cents available for appropriations and surplus. Gross earnings of the railroads in 1922 were $1, 567,000,000 more than in 1917. This $1,567,000,000 and more too,-was immediately paid out again, as follows: i $918,000,000 in added wages to railroad employes 135,000,000 in added cost coal, mostly miners' wages 122.000,000 for addiional taxes 500,000,000 additional for materials and supplies lareely representing wages The stockholders and bondholders of the railroads got none of the increase. It is significant that good times prcalways coinci dent with heavy buying orf the part of the railroads that bad times are periods of light railway purchases. . The Union Pacific System is one of the most import ant enterprises west of the Missouri River. Its near ly 60,000 employes, and their families, constitute a buying power which is the main reliance of many businesses. The purchases of the Union Pacific Sys tem from firms located on the system, or which have offies on our lines, aggregate millions of dollars each month. The railways are planning to Bpend hundreds of millions of new money during 1924 to better serve the public. "Our transportation movement during 1923 is the outstand ing industrial accomplishment of the year. The waste of the year 1920 with iU car shortages, it derangements of price levels stoppage ef industry, probably amounted to not less than a billion of dollars, and the American people and no economic fabric couloVhave stood that loss that did not have a total in come in excess of sixty billions. One great contribution to the business stability of the past year has been the fact that we have had a free and regular and orderly movement of trans portation.
