Railroad Returns Are
Largest in History

lowest OF any single year since 1898.
For the New York Central lines near
ly 54 cents out OF every dollar spent
In 1918 went 20 the transportation
and traffic item: this amount being
the lowest since 1906; for the b. ~
o. lines the 1913 item showed also
.64 cents, being the lowest since 1908
with the single exception OF 1910.
Contrasting this with the steady
encroachment OF maintenance OF
equipment and way and structures
Or. Warne showed that in 1913. FOR
instance, for every dollar spent for
operating expenses by the PenEsyi'
yania lines, "A cents went 10 these
two maintenance items, exceeding any
other single year since 1900: and that
the same was true for the New York
Central and the Baltimore & Ohio.
The inevitable conclusion TO be-
drawn from these figures is that the
question before the commission, In,
stead OF being one OF insufficient rev.
enues, or one OF increase in rates, Is
really a question OF its approving
these unusual maintenance expend-
lures by the roads. Unless the COM
mission is ready To approve OF this
kind OF financial juggling. II would
seem that the increased gross earn
ings of the roads in the eastern ter.
ritory are more than sufficient for the
normal needs OF the carriers, provid-
ing their maintenance expenditures
are kept within bounds. II the roads
are permitted to charge OF immense
sums TO maintenance and deprecia-
ton they can show a need for In
creased freight rates any time they
desire 10 do so.
The business OF public transporta.
ton and transmission is govern
mental business and the public welfare
demands the governmental manage
ment and operation OF all our public
transport machinery. We advise that
you turn over your entire business.
TO the national government" That Is
the language which II. is asked that
the commission use in answer to the
railroads in the pending freight rate
case by James r. ~Cowles, appearing
before the commission as the only
representative OF the public at large.
In 1911 said Mr.. Cowles to the
commission, "our private profit rail-
way spectators taxed us over two
and one-half billions Of dollars-over
$3.50 the average family. The eagles
beak and the lions tooth are very
weak weapons in their war upon the
rest OF the brute creation as COM
pared with the railway rate OF the
private transport Spectator In his
war upon the rest OF mankind The
issue OF the hour is a railway despot-
ism versus postal republic. Happy
will IL be for US, gentlemen, II your
decision in this case ends the rule OF
the American railway Spectator for
ever"

By gibson GARDNER.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The
gross returns for 1913 TO the railroads
in the eastern territory, now plead
Ing for a five per cent increase in
freight rates, were the largest in
their history The increase OF these
revenues last year over 1912 for all
roads exceeded $l3l, 100000, or more
than 10 per cent. The Pennsylvania
railroads increase was nearly sac.
600 600, or IL per cent; the New York
Central increase was more than $780,
100000. or nearly u per cent: the
Baltimore & Ohio lines more than
50, 900 900. or about 10 per cent.
These startling figures, computed
from the showing made by the rail-
roads themselves, have just been pre-.
scented TO the interstate commerce
commission by DR.. Frank j. Warne,
the statistician representing the Pitts.
burgh Coal Co. His exhibits show
that, contrary TO the belief OF the pub.
lie, II has not been the increase in
wages to employees but the very
large increase in expenditures for
maintenance OF equipment and way
and structures that is the basis for
the railroads claim OF reduced net
earnings, One OF the exhibits shows
that the principal expense item, con.
sisting largely OF wages, bears less
proportion 70 the total operating eX-
penses in 1913 than for any single
year since 1898: that maintenance OF
equipment bears a larger proportion
TO total operating expenses than for
any single one OF the 10 years proceed
ing, and maintenance or way ana
structures larger proportion in 1913
than for any year since 1907 Or.
Warnes exhibits show that the two
principal Items OF maintenance eX-
penses have Increased enormously
over any preceding year and that II
these expenditures had not been so
unusually large in-l9l3, the railroads
would have been able 10 show for that

WASHINGTON June 23.-That a
