Do Men Like Women?
Maybe you read that reeent ar
ticle in a national magazine, claim
ing that American men don’t really
like the company of women. They
Jut put them up on a pedestal and
leave them there.
But I wouldn’t aay that that waa
m in our town. Look at any mar
ried couple—like the Cuppers.
Jane wouldn’t nag if Dee sp#nt hin
evenings “with the boys”—but
actually Dee likes nothing better
than to stay home by the lire,
sharing a glaa* of beer with Jane,
playing cribbage, or juat talking.

And whan he does go oat, for
an afternoon of fishing down at
Seward's Creek, or for an evening
glass of beer st Andy Botkin’s
Garden Tavern, Jane is almost al
ways with him (except when she’s
got a spot of baking in the oven).
From where I sit, respect

They go together—-essential parts

THE HOUSE THAT JACQUES BUILT— One veteran's answer to
the housing problem — he built his own home, and didn’t pay a cent
for his materials! Lucky Jacques Brownson (inset) of Aurora, Illi
nois, was furnished plans, instructions and all materials by the edi
tors of Popular Mechanics Magazine to help them prove a pet
theory—that any man who can build a table lamp or a bunk-bed
could build his own house if given simple step-by-step directions.
How the magazine is publishing a book which the editors claim will
enable anyone to build the same house. Jacques and his bride
jpaoved into the house on March 29.

What do you think railroads make?
m| Wr. The public thinks
Impartial research polio show that,on the
average,people think we make 15 %.They
also think a fair return would be 10%.
WTwif We Make
But for the year 1916, with the biggest
peace-time traffic in history, the rail
roads earned only ... 2 %%. This is
less 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 52 6 /io% and the
prices of fuel, materials and supplies
have gone up 61 6 /i 0 %.
But freight rates have just recently
been increased an average of only
lTVio%—a year after the effective date
at the last big wage increase.
What About This Year?
ft is estimated that the return for 1947,
even with the recent freight rate in
crease, will be only about half the 6%
minimum return required to provide
the improvements and service needed.
This will be because of increased coats
of materials and supplies; because cer
tain wage increases granted in 1946

What do you think they should make?
The public thinks 10% would be fair
were in effect for only part of 1946 but
will be in effect for all of 1947; because
of increased special payroll taxes on
railroads; and because of a decline in
passenger business.
What Does This Mean To You?
The answer is “Plenty!” Your standard
of living is the highest in the world be
cause of mass production. But mass
production would not be possible with
out MASS TRANSPORTATION, which the
railroads provide at low cost.
Why 6% Is Needed
The kind of service your standard of
living requires takes a lot of money for
new equipment and improvements. To
carry out the post-war improvement
program for better equipment, tracks,
terminals and modem safety devices, a
minimum return of 6% is needed.

What are the facts?
Actually the railroads earned
only 2%% in 1946.
To provide the service yon want
railroads need to earn at least
6%. But estimates indicate that
even with the recent freight rati
increase, the return for 1947 wffl
be only about half that requirement.
So when the railroads make only 2*A
cents on each SI.OO of 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.
They will furnish money on reasonable
terms only if they have confidence in
the future earnings of the railroads.
You Have Another Stake In This
Even if you do not own any railroad
stocks or bonds, insurance companies
and savings banks do. So you still have
a special interest in seeing that the rail
roads are allowed enough to do a good
job ... for you.
We are publishing this and other
advertisements to talk with you at first
hand about matters which are impor
tant to everybody.
•On total property investment, the railroads
made only 2.19%.
