That is to say property invested OF
$50, coo, 600. (but costing present own
ers far less), is allowed rates high
enough to earn nearly So, 600, 900, net
or Is per cent interest annually out of
the people of North Carolina. Your
report says the property is worth $780,
600, 600, including franchise. Your re
port say the net earnings r nearly
So. 600, 900, and even in this we are at
the mercy of the corporations. There
not vet been cross examination or in
spection of their books. We do not
know whether in pro rating they have
allowed the North Carolina portion OF
their roads as much as an impartial
calculation might prove to be just. We
do not know how much the net earn
ings would swell if only moderate sal
aries were allowed and improper
charges disalloyed and the Supreme
Court of the United States say in We'll
man VS.. Railroad, 143 U. 8, and they
say it again in Reagan VS.. Trust Co,
154 U. s., ct page 4I2 that no rates will
be held too low until the salaries are
shown not to be excessive or that i'm
proper charges have not been made,
that the rates fixed by the public al,
thority cannot be supervised till these
matters are shown up. In the absence
of any examinations by your board of
the original books, it is proper to say
this in support of a suggestion that an
auditing of the books might show that
the net earnings upon calculation by
impartial accountants are probably
FAR MORE THAN Is PER GENT.
The railroad returns as made to you
are ex parte and among very many
things requiring explanation is this. In
1891, the gross receipts were returned
by railroad at Sc, 551, 900 and net earn
ings as So, 100, 900. In 1896 the gross
earnings had increased nearly $780,
600, but in some unaccountable way
there is an increase of operating ex
penses of over 81, $50, 900, or in other
words the more business these corpora
tions do the larger the percentage Of
expenses, which is contrary to expert
ence. Besides, we know that improve
ments cheapening the cost Of operation
have been constantly made in the rail,
road world, and that the wages Of the
men, the rank and file, have been rather
decreased than diminished. The Inter
State Commerce Commission report a
sharp reduction as to the pay Of the
men and an increase only in the salar-
les allowed by the higher Officials to
themselves, but it would take q great
deal of this to account for the addition
of 3D. so, 900 to operating expenses in
North Carolina in five years out of an
increased business of less than 81
200, 600.
Then the North Carolina Railroad,
223 miles long, reports its pro rata con-
tributed to salaries of general officers"
in 1891 $21, 800; the same item in 1894
is $24, OS9 (more than the total salaries
paid by this great State TO the Cover
nor and all the heads Of the Executive
| Departments combined) while in 1895,
after public criticism, this same item
has shrunk without explanation to $5,-
! s75. This and many other matters
which seem unaccountable, may it is
true be explained.

have bought the railroad, or its stock,

large railroad systems in this State.
You have fixed the railroad valua-
ton at $26, 600, 900, but the bonds and
stocks of the railroads in this State
amount to 1914, OOO, 900. 1t is clear,
therefore that rates high enough opay

Wind as q Source Of Power.

In a study Of the possibilities of
wind as a source of power, NJ. Maxi
milan Plesseur has reached the con-
clusion that the old windmill and the
aeolian wheel are not suitable motors,
but that this energy can best be utilized
by means of vehicles driven by sails
on circular railways, the sails to be
kept trimmed automatically, and the
power to be transmittedt to an axle and
thence to machinery. Where the wind
is fairly constant such an apparatus,
especially if used to drive dynamos
and charge electrical accumulators,
should prove serviceable and economi-
cal. A similar arrangement could be
established on water, boats being used
instead of cars, and the jpower-of
which considerable could be kept in
reserve-could be transmitted to a
distance.
