The average individual has little con-
ception of the extent to which account
keeping is carried by the railroads. so
complex is the financial operation OF a
big road that without most elaborate
accounting system intelligent operation
would be impossible. 1t is from the re-

railroads are able to tell what parts OF
their business are proftaDie, eNactiS
what charges must be made TO anord a

may be effected and thousand other
things essential for the information OF
the successful railroad manager.
In the past few years the fallroaos

Frances Nelson will be seen in the role

heavy penalty for the keeping OF any
records other than those prescribed by
the commission, for the making of false
entries and for the failure to make COM
plete entries. 1t also provided that no
records of any kind should be destroyed
except under the sanction of the COM
mission.
In keeping with these provisions OF the
railroad law the Interstate commerce
commission has prescribed system of
uniform accounting. For the most part
it has had the full cooperation of the
railroads and their accounting officers.
The commission promulgates certain rules
of classifying railroad accounts. In one
pamphlet it gives full directions for the
classification Of all entries pertaining to
the operating expenses. 1t sets forth in
detail just what items shall be charged
to maintenance of way and structures.
what items to maintenance of equipment.
what to traffic expenses. what to trans
portation expenses and what to general
expenses. -
In another pamphlet are given the rules
for classifying all items for expenditures
and betterments. In still another the
rules for entering items with reference
to expenditures for road and equipment
are given. Other pamphlets set forth tine
rules for other general accounts. and
when a railroad has complied with all
these provisions its financial operations
are easily understood by the officers
authorized to investigate them.
When the interstate commerce commits
sion first was empowered to take up the
question Of uniform accounting the AS

k14e0 percentage. ton Of deprecia-
ton charges The commission claims that
there ought to be a fixed percentage Of
the valuation of the equipment of road
deducted each year. SO that when the
equipment is retired to the junk heap its
entire value will have been charged off
the books of the company. The railroads
object to this for a number of reasons
They assert that they ought to be allowed
to charge depreciation in their own way
making large charges in fat years and
small ones in lean years. They assert
that this will enable them to make q con-
slant. financial showing. instead Of a fluc-
tuating one.
There is q demand on the part of some
Of the state railroad commissions that the
railroads be required to segregate their
intrastate operations from their interstate
business, so that the states will have the
figures upon which to predicate their
action in regulating intrastate rates. 1t
is probable that q way will yet be found
to do this, although it Is agreed that 1t
is hard to segregate everything pertain
ing to interstate business from the things
which enter into intrastate operation.
The regulation which the interstate
commerce commission has adopted with
reference to the destruction of the rec
ords of a railroad company is interest

long every paper must be kept, and pro-
