~ SPEND MONEY TO SAVE MONEY. yuam
If the railroads are ever-to be able to reduce rates without rendering inade
quate service to the public, they must be able to raise capital in large sums to keep
th:mselves provided with the most modern facilities to enable them to reduce the
cost of dperation. If the country is to have cheaper rail transportation, it must first .
. have progperous railroads. . The railroads must spend money in order to save mon-.
ey. The pricipal source from which they can obtain money for enlargements and im-
Erovements is the inyesting public.” Railway earnings, therefore, must be set and
ept at a rate sufficient to encourage investment in railway securities on a large scale,
", | Take the Central of Georgia for-éxamiple. Our freight business, as measured
by 'the number of tons carried one mile, was 69 per cent greater in 1922 than in
11910, This 69 per cent increasein ton miles was performed with a deerease of .07 .
* . peér cent in the number of freight train miles. - ) ; ‘
4. Longer and heavier trains were run. If the average freight train load had been
F4in 1922 what.it wag in 1910, an increase infreight train hiles of 72 per cent, instead
lof a'decrease of :07per cent would have been required to handle our freight traffic
" of 1922, This would have meant that th'e direct costs of freight train operation
- (wages, fuel, lubricants:and other Supplies) would have'Béen $1,726,047.52 greater
-in 1922 than they actually were. N T IR : '
‘% This substantial saving in the cost of producing our freight servece was effect
- ed by ‘well-planned expendiutres for imp rovements and extensions to our facilities.
- 'old. locomotives were replaced by those having greater tractive power, so that
greater tonnage could be handled in a train; terminal facilities were enlarged; new
" yard tracks and new side tracks were laid; modern signdls were installed; other
improvemeénts were made. Since 1910 the Central of Georgia Railway has expend
-~ ed $15,715,324 in this 'kind of ‘work. - T ;
.. Efficient and up-to-date facilities must constantly be provided by the railroads
.. to take eare of the.constantly increasing business resulting from the growth and de
velopment of the country. We must not allow the progress of our country to be limit
. ed by.the lack of transportation facilities. ‘At the same timié, the factor of rates must -
be considered. The milroads must continue to invest heavily in the best cost-reduc
ing facilities, so that they may be enabled to reduce expenses and thus to meet the
- requirements of the lowest possible rates without impairing their abiliyt to render
- adequate service. = b BT TR =
-+ = . While our world trade is not.a contva lling factor in our, prosperity, it is of great
importance. If we are to compete successfully with other countries in world trade
. -we must do not only a large export business but also an extensive import business. -
~ We cannot expect other countries to take our products unless we take theirs.
7 "We should bearin mind that ours is a' country of great distances. .The extent of
our land areas remote from the seaboard is such as necessarily to involve very much
- longer land hauls than exist in any other ¢ ountry in the world. This is another sirong
‘reason.why we must take advantage of every opportunity: that exists to provide.
_transportation at the lowest possible.rates. : Our. railroads, if they have the neces- -
- sary public suppott, stand réady to install the moderan facilities which make it pos
~gible to:lower rates. - This means that they must be freed from threats of -premature
* rate reductions or other unconstructive treatment. . Upon. this kind of ”t%undation
- must be-based any reasonable: Kope for:lo wer railway rates. ‘ o ;
