Address 211 Bradbury Bldg., Los Angeles, Cal. Where the Dollar 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 Salories.. .' 44.4 cents Fuel 9.4 " Other operating and maintenance expences including such items as rails and ties, loss and damage ."..25.6 " Taxes 5.4 " Hire of equipment and joint facility rents.... 1.5 " Net Operating Income 13.7 " 100.0 Out "of this 13.8 cents of net operating income, 12.2 cents 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 l,567,0q0,000 and more ,too, was immediately paid out again, as follows: $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 are always coinci dent with heavy buying on 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 50,000 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 spend hundreds of millions of new money during 1924 to better serve the public. "Our transportation movement during 1923 is the outstand ing industrial accompliBhment of the year. The wssteOf the year 1920 with its car shortages, it derangements of price levels stoppage of industry, probably amounted to not less than a billion of dollars, and the American people and no iconomic fabric could have 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. "-From address by Secretary of Commerce Herbert C. Hoover, January 9, 1934. C. S. GRAY. Omaha, Nebraska, 'President. February 1, 1924. UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM . Struck by Auto Miss E. G. Driver of 109 East Third street was struck down and perhaps severely injured in an accident at the corner ' of Third and Liberty, stceets early last evening, when she was hit by an automobile driven by W. Marti. The woman was rushed to The Dalles hospital by Marti, who later reported the accident to the police. Information at the hospital this morning that Miss Driver is suffering a fractured skull. It is not known yet whether she will recover. ! According to the story told at police headquarters, Marti said he was, driving east on Third street and had dimmed his lights for passing mstor vehicles. Turn ing the corner into Liberty street he did not see Miss Driver until she had been struck by the car. Miss Driver was in the center of the street and did not see or heed the approach of Marti's machine. Traffic Offier J. H. Skelley investigated the accident and said today that Marti had been traveling slowly and stop ped within eight or ten feet from the position of the machine when he first saw the victim. The brakes on the car were tested and found to be in good condition so that there is not any chance of the blame being attached to Marti it was said. Chronicle C5.
