Actually the railroads earned The public thinks 10% would be lair only 2y«% in 1946. we make 15% £ To provide the service you want, railroads need to earn at least 6%. But estimates indicate that even with the recent freight rate increase, the return for 1947 will be only about half that requirement. Two year thornless j By T. Carol Bybee ——------------------------------------------ : son, Terry, T. H. Brewer and Mr. and Mrs Darrell Williams and daughter, Ellen, were among guests who gathered at the Roy Brewer home near Ontario Sunday for a fam ily dinner. j Grapes Rhubarb Asparagus Fruit Trees Everblooming Roses “(Peace” $2.50 10 % Why it takes Impartial research pollsshow that,on the average,people think we make 15%.They also think a fair return would be 10 %. H'hat We Make 4 But for the year 1946, with the biggest peace-time traffic in hiatory, the rail roads earned only . . . 2 H %. This is leas than one-half the comparable earn ings for other industries. The reasons for this low return are not hard to find. Since 1939 railroad wages have increased .Vi" m % and the prices o f fuel, materials and supplies have gone up 6 1 * 710 %. But freight rates have just recently been increased an average o f only \T*t\o% —a year after the effective date o f the last hig wage inci What About This Year? It iseetimatud that the return for 1947. even with the recent freight rate in crease, will he only about half the 6 % minimum return required to provide the Rqprovements and service needed. Th is will he because o f increased costs o f materials and supplies; because cer tain wage increases granted in 1946 6 % to 2 V4% WÊÊM make the grade. . . were in effect for only part o f 1946 but will be in effect for all o f 1947; because o f increased special payroll taxes on railroads; and because o f a decline in passenger business. What Poet Thin Mean To You? The answer is “ Plen ty!” Your standard o f living is the highest In the world be cause o f mass pr o d u c tio n . But mass production would not be possible with out mass t r a n s p o r t a t io n , which the railroads provide at low cost. Why 6% It Needed The kind o f service your standard o f living requires takes a lot o f money for new equipment and improvements. Tb carry out the post-war improvement program for better equipment, tracks, terminals and modem safety devices, a minimum return o f 6% is needed. So when the railroads make only 2H cents on each $1.00 o f their net prop erty investment, it concerns you.* The funds for future new equipment and improvements must come from rail road earnings and also from investors. Th ey will furnish money on reasonable terms only i f they have confidence in the future earnings o f the railroads. % Mile North o f Nyssa “ Y ” Lewis Nursery N E W S OF RECORD B U ILD IN G PERM ITS Walter Hite, construction.
