Central of Georgia Railway Discusses Public’s
Interest in Railroad Earnings.
n . T h€ , railroads ar e handling a record brea king volume of traffic so promptly and ade
qua e y at increased production, rapid turn -over and other benefits to the public are gen
erally recognized. As a result of efficient an d economical handling of this increased busi
ness, railroad earnings have shown gains during recent months.
When considered for the country as a whole, these increased earnings run into large
gures an ten to create the impression in the public mind that the owners of the railways
’ ave J >ro lte ar gely thereby. As a matter of fact, by effecting economies and by expand
ing their capacity to meet the growing trans speorpei otp ‘Ar;unoo otp jo spaau uoqujrod
aV^i* nC L °khg at io ns which place their their owners in a position considerably less fa
vora e t an tnat they occupied prior to the Wcrld War, as regards current returns on in
vestment.
Efficiency and economy in operation are largely due to the investment of large sume
in property improvements. The railroads mu st spend money to make money. The expen
itures tor improvement come largely from b orrowings, and this means that interest charges
are increased.
Net Railway Operating Income is the a mount left over after paying operating expens
es and taxes. Interest charges must be paid out of Net Operating Income before any divi
dends can be paid. Increased Net Railway Operating does not necessarily mean increased
amounts available for dividends. On the co ntrary, if large borrowings have been made
tor the purchase ot equipment, or if bonds so r improvements have been issued the increased
interest charges have shut off the stockholder s from a larger share of the increased earnings-
The Central of Georgia Railway has, since 19J6, spent on improvements to the road,
such as heavier rail, additional tracks, etc., $9,573,000.00, and on equipment, such as loco
motives and cars $7,0 14. 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 Cen
‘ral ° S e ? r T a W r iS $4 081 - 000 00 - In 192 4 the Net Railway Operating Income was
$4, 55 6,00 G-00. i bat is to say that, after investing more than seventeen million dollars,
the net return showed a gain of only $475,0 00.00, a sum that is less than three percent
o< the increase amount invested. The owners of the property would have received last
year had they placed the money in savings bank at four percent than they did receive by
using it for public service.
Because of reduced rates and increased expenditures for wages, materials and taxes,
the Class i railroads of the country last yea r 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 entitled t o earn a return. These figures show that
the owners of railway property, in spite of their large investments for improvement and
in spite of increased efficiency of management, are not sharing substantially in the bene
fits produced by their investment. In this re spect, they are in a less favorable situation than
they were before the War. A fair minded p üblic will recognize that this situation is not
just to the investors in railway property.
The que tion. however, goes beyond th e matter of justice to the investor, and involves
the whole frt -e of transportation, ir the cr edit of the railway industry is to be fully re
established an.! :. its ability to render good Service is to be assured, it is necessary that the
net return contir.-re to inc ease. it is very p lain that a decrease in either the volums of
,traffic or the p.csent rate level would tend t > impair the prevailing high standards of ser
vice. <
Impoverished i’-oads cannot possibly render the prompt, complete and exacting ser
vice which tr.e pu'o.ic 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 underst and these facts in regard to railway earning*
and their region to the development and ex par.sion of the transportation industry.
There is no immediate cause for pessimis m or alarm on the part of the investor in rail*
way property. There need be no concern so r the future so long as the present sound pub
Lc policy toward transportation continues. Rai' oad investors are showing their faith in the
future, and that faith full be justified by con inued freedom from such legislation or regu
lation as will arrest the recent improvement i n the railroad situation.
Constructive criticism and suggestions ar e invited.
