EARNINGS WITH OTHER INDUSTRIES
The rate of return oarned by the railways is in striking contrast to the much higher rate earned by
other industries.
The rate earned on Class I railways iu the Southern Region is as follows:
1920
1921
0.85 per cent
2.07
(The so-called Class 1 railways comprise all the lines except the short roads earning less tha^
$1,000,000 gross per annum.)
The rate earned by the Class 1 roads prior to Goverment control was as follows:
1914
1915
1916
4.08 par cent
3.31
5.70
The Goverment oontrol period is ommitted because while operations were generally unprofitable, on
account of increased wages arid cost of material and. supplies largely beyond increases in rates, the rail
roads were allowed the same profits they had made during' the three- years prior to July i; 19#?
Here are the figure* showing tho return on investment in eertain specified ...industries, whioh djre
taken from the reports of the Federal Trade Commission.
1921
1920
1919
1918

(Where blanks appear information was not available.) ,r ■ ■ .
From 1914 to. 1918, inclusive, the average rate of return on various other industries was as follows:
Five large oil companies in California 14.9 percent ' ' < • •
Manufacturers of canned milk 24.7 ' • - ...
Wheat flour mills 23.0
Five : great meat packers 16.2 ' -* ~ r -
Manufacturers of farm implements 10.9 >. , , ,• -
All industries have good years and bad years; all except the railways, are given an opportunity to
store up a surplus during prosperous times to tide the over Jean years. The railways dp, .npt criticise the
profits of other-industries, nor'do they expect to be permitted during prosperous time to increase the
price of transportation—the only commodity they have for sale, but they must be afforded a* opportu
nity through efficient and economical operation, if they are going to , function in the interest of the
public, to earn and retain a rale of return which will enable them to obtain funds to provide for large
annual expenditures to meet the increasing demands of commerce. * J ' .
Th,ere is an unfounded impression that the railroads are guarntfeed a rate of return of 6 percent ob
'.their stocks and bonds. Tho law provides tb^fc.the Interstate Commerce Commission shalT Say 'what'rate
of return they may earn on the value of property devoted to transportation and fix rates accordingly; yet
the railways have never even approximated the r-^te fixed and have bad . to pocket their losses. They
haye not earned as much as the Government guarnteed on all but the first issue of Liberty Bouds, or on
j recent issues of Treasury Certificates.. These securities are all more attractive to the average investor than.
, the best class of railroad bonds carrying,materially higher rates of interest. This situation is of interest
and importance to the public, because transportation is an essential factor of business, /

The Central of Georgia Railway submits these figures as an illustration of the results of a restrictive
policy which seems to us cannot safely be carried to greater extremes. We believe that these facts make
answer to the attack upon the rate structure of the railroads, which is continually being Waged by
certain radical elements having Government ownership as their aim.
For ourselves we only ask the same treatment that is aecerded industries generally, without farther
impairment and limitation of earning power through rate reductions and adverse legislation.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
