railroad property Is one OF the ele-
ments to be taken into consideration
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in fixing rates, and everybody has
been obliged to admit that the COM
mission was without reliable data
bearing upon this value. Under the
La Toilette act the public will at least
be furnished with the best evidence of
value available.
But there is more truth which must
be known before La Follette's task of
securing to the people Just railroad
rates, Is completed. To secure just
and reasonable rates, other steps must
be taken. We must know, besides the
actual value Of railroad property, the
actual cost OF operation and the cost
of current construction and of new
equipment The railroad reports give
us now statement of what they spend
each year: but the public has no means
of knowing whether this amount has
been well spent.
In the calendar year 1912 the rail-
roads collected from the American peo-
pie In gross earnings, $3,045, 778,327,
most of which has been spent in some
way. About one-third of that amount
has. gone In interest and dividends
and taxes. The physical valuation
would help us to know what part Of
that interest and dividend Is paid on
capital which Is water About two
thirds of the years revenues is paid
out for operating expenses. 1t is at
least equally important to know what
part of that revenue has been spent |
what part has been
wasted through dishonesty, and what |
part through inefficiency. Besides the |
q, 900, 0OO, 900 Of current revenue spent /
n operation, there are each year ex-
oended hundreds of millions In new
or the purchase of equip
nent. What part of the money spent
or new construction or equipment Is
.fficiently and honestly spent? Until
We know all this, we. cannot know
whether rates are just and reasona-
lie.
