Railway Business in 1912.

During a period Of expanding bus
mess profits at first usually rise
more rapidly than expenses. That
this has not been the case with the
railways of the United States during
the recent high tide of traffic Is
shown by their returns from the
calendar year 1912. The total
operating revenues are their total
receipts from freight and passenger
traffic, from carrying mail and ex
press and from miscellaneous
sources Operating income is the
amount which after all expenses
have been paid remains for rentals.
interest on bonds, appropriations for
betterments. improvements, new con-
struction and for dividends.
The total receipts of the railways
of the East were s1,511 per mile
higher than for 1911, but operating
income gained only S240. The total
receipts of the railways of the
South increased $492 mile for the
year, but operating income suffered
a loss of 500. The railways in the
West gained 1926 per mile in oper-
ating income, which offset the loss
of approximately the same amount
in the previous year. II the closing
six months of 1912 be alone con-
sidered the situation was not so un-
favorable but even for this period OF
mounting traffic the increase in ex-
penses outran the increase in re-
ceipts.
That the funds available for de-
veloping and extending the railways
have not kept pace with the growth
in traffic or the increased expenses
of operation is shown by the follow
ing percentages. For the railways
of the East the total operating rev.
enues increased 7.2 per cent. operat-
ing expenses SO per cent and taxes
s per cent, leaving an increase in
operating income of 43 per cent.
For the railways of the South total
operating revenues increased 40.
per cent, operating expenses S.4 per
cent. and taxes 2.S per cent, leaving
a decrease in operating income of
per cent. The unusual traffic of
the West enabled the railways of
that section to obtain an increase of
50 per cent in operating income.
which just about balances the losses
sustained during 1911.
The foregoing figures are all upon
the mile of line basis and were COM
piled by the Bureau of Railway
Economics from the reports made to
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion by the railways having total
annual operating revenues of one
million dollars or over. These in
