DEFINITION OF
SURPLUS IS GIVEN
SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY
EXPLAINS HOW IMPRESS
SION is INCORRECT

Declaring that a misunderstanding
OF what the Southern Pacific com
pany's surplus" really is has given
an unjust impression of the COM
pany's financial condition, a recent
Southern bulletin says:
perhaps one of the least under
stood and yet most widely quoted
terms in reference to railroad finance
is surplus" 1t is not going too far
TO say that the average man has the
idea that surplus" is ready cash. If
he hears that the surplus of rail
road is. say, fifty million dollars, he
at once jumps to the conclusion that
the road has that amount of money
which it can use at will for paying
dividends, buying new equipment, or
anything of the kind where cash
would be required. Yet surplus is a
very different thing. 1t is not all
cash. but only the excess of the as
sets of corporation over what 1t
owes.
"A concrete example will make
this clear Suppose a man has a
home worth $4,000, with $500 worth
Of furniture. and cash to the amount
of $50. Suppose he owed a grocery
bill of $25. On the same basis that
the Interstate commerce commission
has railroad keep its accounts, his
assets would then be $3.50 and his
liabilities $25. In other words, he
would be credited with having sur
plus of $3,625.
Suppose now a friend wanted to
sell him a $500 automobile and he
said he couldn't afford it. The friend
might say Why, look at your books,
Right there you have surplus of
$3,625l How would the young man
answer his friend?
The point is that surplus is not
cash A man may be land or prop
erty poor and be extremely pinched
for money.
"The cash surplus of the Southern
Pacific company is $4,000, 1000
money kept by the company fol
emergency purposes and for carryint
on its business from month to month
The annual expenditures of the com
pany exclusive of dividends are 1881,

THE surplus is made up of tw'
factors. cash and investments
Cash is kept on hand as working
