The railroads are handling a record breaking volume of traffic so promptly and adequately that increased production, rapid turn-over and other benefits to the public are generally recognized. As a result of efficient and economical handling of this increased business, railroad earnings have shown gains during recent months. When considered for the country as a whole, these increased earnings run into large figures and tend to create the impression in the public mind that the owners of the railways have profited largely thereby. As a matter of fact, by effecting economies and by expanding their capacity to meet the growing transportation needs of the country, the railroads have incurred obligations which place their owners m a position considerably less favorable than that they occupied prior to the World War, as regards current returns on investment. Efficiency and economy in operation are largely due to the investment of large sums in prop¬ erty improvements. The railroads must spend money to make money. The expenditures for im¬ provements come largely from borrowings, and this means that interest charges are increased. * • • Net Railway Operating Income” is the amount left over after paying operating expenses and taxes. Interest charges must be paid out of Net Operating Income before any dividends can be paid. Increased Net Railway Operating Income does not necessarily mean increased amounts available for V dividends. On the contrary, if large borrowings have been made for the purchase of equipment, or V if bonds for improvements have been issued, the increased interest charges have shut off the stock¬ holders from a larger share of the increased earnings. The Central of Georgia Railway has, since 1916, spent on improvements to the road, such as heavier rail,, additional tracks, etc., $9,573,000.00, and on equipment, such as locomotives and cars, $7,- 614,000.00, a total of $17,187,000.00 for improving and increasing our facilities for the public service. In 1916, the Net Railway Operating Income of the Central of Georgia was $4,081,000.00. In 1924 the Net Railway Operating Income was $4,556,000.00. That is to say that, after investing more than seven¬ teen million dollars, the net return showed a gain of only $475,000.00, a sum that is less than three per cent of the increased amount invested. The owners of the property would have received more last year had they placed the money in the savings bank at four per cent than they did receive by using it for the public service. Because of reduced rates and increased expenditures for wages, materials and taxes, the Class 1 railroads of the country last year had sixty-six million dollars less Operating Income than they had in 1916, and they had an increased property investment of $4,489,000,000.00 upon which they were en¬ titled to earn a return. These figures show that the owners of railway property, in spite of their large investments for improvements and in spite of increased efficiency of management, are not shar¬ ing substantially in the benefits produced by their investment. In this respect, they are in a less favor¬ able situation than they were before the War. A fair minded public will recognize that this situation is not just to the investors in railway property. The question, however, goes beyond the matter of justice to the investor, and involves the whole f future of transportation. If the credit of the railway industry is to be fully re-established and if its ability to render good service is to be assured, it is necessary that the net return continue to increase. It is very plain that a decrease in either the volume of traffic or the present rate level would tend to impair the prevailing high standard of service. Impoverished railroads cannot possibly render the prompt, complete and exacting service which the public must have. Poor service is costly to the public. Good service is beneficial to every branch of business, industry and commerce. It is important for the public to understand these facts in regard to railway earnings and their relation to the development and expansion of the transportation industry. There is no immediate cause for pessimism or alarm on the part of the investor in railway property. There need be no concern for the future so long as the present sound public policy toward nl transportation continues. Railroad investors are showing their faith in the future, and that faith will ^ be justified by continued freedom from such legislation or regulation as will arrest the recent im¬ provement in the railroad situation. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. L. A. DOWNS, Savannah, Georgia, October 19, 1925. President, Central of Georgia Railway Company.
