GENERAL REMARKS.

GENERAL INCOME ACCOUNT.
The revenues for the year. with the excep-
increase. compared with 1909. but this in
crease has been Offset by the large increases
in Operating Expenses, due principally to ad-
vances in wages of employees.
The burden Of this and other increased
outlays and charges. such as taxes. led the
Company to endeavor to make moderate re-
visions in certain class and commodity rates,
affecting only a comparatively small per-
centage of the total traffic carried. and
which. IL granted. would have netted the
Lines East OF Pittsburgh an increased an
nuai revenue estimated at s3.OOO. 900. which
is about 81 600. 900 less than the estimated
annual increase in employees wages. These
proposed rate increases met with pronounced
opposition. and during the preparation OF
this report, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has declined to authorize the rate
schedules that were filed to secure the ad-
VanCes.
The new accounting classifcations promul-
gated by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion require all expenditures above bare
maintenance to be included in the cost OF
road and equipment. and there seems to be
a growing tendency among American rail-
roads to forget the lessons learned through
a long list of receiverships and reorganiza-
tions and provide out of capital for outlays
which should be met through income. II
rates could always be uniformly maintained
If the cost of labor, material and taxes were
always stable. if business prosperity were
continuous. II II were not necessary for a
railroad 70 make any improvements except
Such as WOulO luCTedsS lls
earning power. then, under such ideal condi-
tions II might be claimed that all con-
struction expenditures should be capitalized
and the funds provided therefor through the
