It Costs More How
To Furnish Transportation
Than Ever
The same business laws apply to Railroads as to all other concerns and
with State and Federal jurisdiction over them, their every operation Is open
to the public.
It Is no secret how their costs have and are increasing, while the prices
to be charged for their manufactured product transportation remains
fixed by law.
General business organizations meet increased expenses from year to
year and day to day by increasing prices and by economies not permitted
to Railroads.
The Railroads of Georgia are hauling freight today at rates less than
those fixed in 1880.
In what way are the Railroads different from other business enterprises
that they can live without increasing their prices when expenses are con
tinually increasing?
To the average individual, the Railroad is an engine and passenger
coaches, or freight cars.
Below is the precentage of increased costs of these items which the
Railroads have had to bear between 1907 and 1916:
LOCOMOTIVES 45%
PASSENGER, MAIL AND EXPRESS CARS 93%
FREIGHT CAR EQUIPMENT 33%
Average percentage increase in cost of all
equipment 62%”
In previous statements the average per cent of increase in price of twenty
five necessary articles In dally use by the Railroads of Georgia, from anglo •net'
bars to waste cotton, has been shown to be . . 77.71 %
The percentage of increase in wages paid for labor has been 142. %
The percentage of increase In taxes paid by the Railroads of Georgia in „
Georgia alone (for 1915 over 1901) has been = . .... I/O. /
AND YET, THE FREIGHT RATES TODAY ARE
LOWER THAN THEY WERE IN 1880.
Notwithstanding such increased costs public improvements must go
on. Of the sixty-four railroads operating in Georgia, nine, namely, the
Atlanta & West Point Georgia Railroad
Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic Georgia Southern & Florida
Atlantic Coast Line Seaboard Air Line
Central of Georgia Southern, and Western & Atlantic,
for the eight years ending June 30, 1915, spent for per
manent Improvements In the State of Georgia, not in
cluding any expanses of operation or maintenance, or . __
rolling stock whatever, the sum of $22,304,773.00
For additional right-of-way and land for stations alone, /.•* o con oq
there was paid to the people of Georgia the total sum of 010,D0.Z0
For station buildings, the sum of .. . 1,891,475.79
For none of these items is there any increased revenue received by tile
carriers. Nor are any of these expenditures made from earnings, but afe
solely investments which have been provided for by additional capital.
