NEEDS
of the Railroads for Requested
Advance in the Freight
Rates Are Manifold.


WASHINGTON, D. c., March L.
In opening the oral argument In the
application Of the eastern railroad for
an increase in freight rates, Mr.. Geo.
Stuart Patterson, general solicitor Of
the Pennsylvania Commerce Commits
sion today on THE Need OF the Car
iers for Additional Revenue"
Mr.. Patterson said in substance:
During the past ten years, for the
thirty-dye railroad systems in this
proceeding
Property investment has increased
1904 per cent.
Capital obligations have increased
ia.22 per cent.
Operating revenues have In
creased 63.54 per cent.
Operating expenses have increased
1890 per cent, and taxes have In
creased 111.43 per cent.
During this same period, 1903
1913, there has been
"(a) A decline in the ratio Of net
operating income to property invest
ment.
"tb) A decline in the ratio of net
operating income (pius interest on
funded debt) to total capital obliga-
tions.
"(cJ A decline IN the ratio OF sur
plus to total capital obligations.
All of tbs shows a decided weak
entng in the position of the carriers
as regards their return on investment
despite the growth in the size of the
plant, volume and density of the bus
mess, and the facilities and improved
methods OF handling that business.
THUS during the last ten years the
carriers find themselves, after per-
tod of great growth and expenditure
of new capital, worse off than they
were before this growth and expendi-
ture, though they should be material
ly better of.
THE Importance OF this showing
FOR the period 1903 to 1913 is great
y increased by the fact that the ten
denotes which operated during that
period to decrease the return on the
investment are operating with even
greater force in the last three years
The figures reflect an aceeleration
In the rate. of decline in recent years.
They show the lowest rate of return,
and the lowest surplus in the last
three years, and the year 1918 shows
the lowest figure for any of these
years. II 1t be remembered that these
three years are the biggest three-year
period in the carriers history, and
that 1913 was in itself the largest of
the three, then the full sgnficance of
the showing becomes apparent.
1.-THE view has been suggested that
the net revenues for 1913 were larger
than for any of the last five years,
except 1910, and, therefore, negative
any inference that the carriers rev
enues are inadequate OF that they
have reached a crisis in their affairs.
In 1913 not only were the facilI-
tes the largest in the history of these
carriers, but the use of them was the
