been brought about by the general

their extension divisions aid the vari

distinctly when the proposition to erad

Joke and yet there are forty-two coun-

and in a comparatively short time the

the providential power of the creator;

you.”

the expression.

Georgia Railroads Pay More Than
Half Their Gross Revenue to the
People in Labor, Wages and Taxes
1916 Service at
Less lhi«
less Rites
It is absolutely Imperative that the freight rates within the State, of Geor
gia be revised at the * ‘ * ’
intrastate commerce
1 hearing on August 17th so that they may be applied to
in a way which will not discriminate against interstate
commerce.
This is a requirement not only of the Interstate Commerce Commission,
but in the Shreveport Case relative to the Texas rates, was required by the Su
preme Court of the United States.
The proposed Georgia revision contemplates an increase in some existing
rates, but it also brings about a reduction in other rates.
Should the revision increase the revenue of the railroads it would not be
unreasonable for the Georgia Railroad Commission to grant it and so permit the
Railroads of Georgia to maintain the present high standard of service and to
improve and extend their facilities. \
The Railroads have already shown that they are operating on rates buIm
stantially lower than those promulgated in 1880; that the average price of 25
necessary articles in daily use has increased more than 77 per cent since 1914;
that the increased cost has not been offset by increased revenue or increased
efficiency, in spite of every effort known to human ingenuity in connection
with the economical operation of railroads.
The railroad* now present ACTUAL FACTS AND FIGURES relating to
the steady increase in labor, wages and taxes.
The increased labor, cost to 25 representative railroads of the South, includ- j
ing the .principal railroads of Georgia, for 1914 over 1901 was as foltow's: *
Including General Officers, $40,650,841.64, or 33.92 per cent.
Excluding General Officers $40,573,672.06, or 34.53 per cent.
And the increase has been equally as great up to June 30th, 1916. .
The 25 Railroads paid out for labor in »
1901 ., $ 60,055,407.12
1915 145,470,642.29
* The Railroads paid 142 PER CENT more for labor in 1915 than in 1901.
The amount paid for labor out of each dollar received by the Railroads in 1901
was .39 46-100 cents; the amount increased in 1915 to .46 34-100 cent*.
The amount of taxes paid by the Railroads increased 178 per cent from
1901 to 1915. The increase in the value of railroad property has not been any
thing like the same ratio.
The railroads paid for taxes in *
1901 . $ 5,098,328.66
1915 14,224,942^8 «
' In 1901 the amount of taxes to each one'dollar of revenue was .03 35-100
cents; in 1915 the amount of taxes to each one dollar of revenue had increased
to .04 53-100 cents.
In 1901 the Railroads paid .42 81-100 cents out of every one dollar of reve
nue for labor and taxes. In 1915 the amount had increased to .50 87-100 cents,
or more than half of die total gross revenue for those two items alone.
Amount paid for labor and taxes in
1901 ••„ ,-$ 65,153,735.78
1915 159,695,584.67
In other words, the Railroads returned to die people in wage* and taxes
ALONE more than half of the gross revenue of the
Not only are the Railroads of Georgia confined to rates actually lower than the 1880
rates, but they have sustained greatly increased cost in equipment, of which we Shall have
more to say at a later date.
The above figures relating to labor and taxes are
They are evidence that the Railroads are of substantial value to the State of Georgia
in paying towards the. maintenance of the'Government and in supplying lucrative employ
ment to thousands of Georgia citizens. This does not take into account the service ren
dered to traveler and shipper, and the creation of wealth through the development of what
would be, without railroad facilities, remote and unprofitable territory.
The railroads of Georgia are just as much Interested In the development of the State
and the prosperity of the people as are the people themselves, because the interests of the
railroads and the n
interest* of the people are identical.
It b not and will not be the policy of the Railroads of Georgia to
propose any system of rate* which would unjustly discriminate
the Georgia producer in favor of producer* located at points
the state. Should this principle appear to bo violated by any I
construction of our petition, we give assurance that we will not pro.
pose, nor will we attempt to adopt in actual practice, any rate at va
riance with thu same.
It Is a matter of grave concern to the people of Georgia, interested in the growth and
ulroads of Georgia have contributed, and will
development of the
f grave c<
State, to
continue to contribute so materially, if given an opportunity, to see that the Railroads are
granted a fair, a just, a reasonable revision of freight rates.
