Railroad Earnings
Are Not Guaranteed

IN HOLLYHOCK K.tCE
Mrs. P'. Devin reports a hollyhoelt
growing in her yard that measures
11 feet t inches, beating Mm.
Smead's flowr mentioned last wek
by 5 inches'!-
This is a poor place to stop in trie
competition and some enterprising
floriculturist should turn th
sprinkler on tiw hollyhock bed an
try to raise the limit to 12 feet.
What's the matter with making;
Heppner known' to- the world as the
Hollyhock city?" Let's go.
A common impression exists that railroad earnings are in
some way guaranteed by the Governrdeut. This is not a fact.
The railroads were paid for the federal Control period a
fixed rental and were given an optiou for continuance of this
basis for six months thereafter. This arrangement expired
August 31, 1920, since which tithe nothing even resembling
a guarantee has been it effect
Under the constitution a railroad has always been entitled
to earn a fair return upon its prffperty devoted to the public
tlse, the percentage which constituted such fair return being
a question for dyeterminatioi by th AtuPtS.
The transportation: act says
''Is the exercise of its power fo-' pC'escribe just and reasona
bly raites, the Commission, shall . . . , adjust such fates so thai
carriers .... will, under honest, etfficteht and ecbnomical man
agement .... earn an aggregate aonilal net railwar operating
incomof equal, as nearly as may be, trt a" fair' retuf upon the
aggrega4e value" of the cbmnlon caprtaii property, gUiftg "due
consideration .... to the transportation- needs of th country
and the rteCBssity .... of enlarging stSBh facilities ins opder to
provide the' people of the,' United State' witft adequate trans
portation.'' For two' years ending March 1, 1922, sicti fair retiWW was
fixed at 6 Jer cent. Since then it lias": ijetfh reduced 6jf th,e
commission 60 5.75 per cent;
In no yea, however, have the railrOiSI secured the? fair
return contemplated by the Act, as tho following will sliow: "

It is entirely 'lear, therefore, that the law in no-sense govw--antees
the eamSugs of the railroads. If EC-did, tho Govm
ment would owe the railroads more than a bMlion dollars for
deficits in 1920, lS'21an'd 1922.
Since January, 1&23, the earnings of tfrt railroads as &
whole hav.e been tfetter than for the same peslotj in any of t6e
throe preceding yStrs, but the rate of retnMi--is still lowei"
than the Interstate Commerce Commission lis-prescribed aJ
reasonable.
The Transportation Act has not been the cams of increases
in railroad rates. cSe or the. authors "of the AiAt -lias "said : :
"Rates have advawfced simply because the nest of mainten
ance and operation bsw more than doubled simw pre-war days--while
railroad rates; ak,eii as a whole, are nttr about 54 pef
cent higher than they were before tho Govern amat took ovest
the railroads at the bgtoBiDg of tho y,e"ar 191iT"
The price of transportation can only be red axed. as-the costii
