cat tie time the amendment OF 1853
was made. the operating reTen-es OF the
Maine Central were in round numbers

were about s., ~ so; while in the year
1914 the tote! operating revenues rad 81
creased TO :lf sr1G1N. IN round numbers
ard the operating expenses TO ss5'H.tpo
The figures above quoted in both in
stances included revenues ana expenses
OF the Washing1on County and Somerset
Railways.
while this statement shows that tae
gross operating revenues had Increased
$4,000, it must be borne in mind that
tie cost Of everything which the rail
road had to purchase to carry on fts
operation rad been constantly increasing
during this period. and especially the
cost Of labor AS a result OF this, we flnd
that from this increase OF gross operat-
ing revenue Of s., 10000. the increase IN
ret operating revenue was little less
than $50 Or.
The cos. Of labor alone shows an in
crease Of $500 which does not repre-
sent the total Increase in the payroi.s.
but only represents the additional cost OF
labor upon the present basis, as COM
pared with the basis which existed in
1879 Besides this increase in the basis
Of nav. there lave been large increases
in operating expenses for expenditures
not previously required. Shd which OF
themselves added nothing to the reve-
nues. nor to economy in operation. ! re-
fer to such items as the maintenance
and operation OF block signals, individ-
ual drinking cups. laws limiting the
hours of service. weekly pay roll require
ment., the federal! valuation OF railroads
and many other items.
This results in the road finding itse:f
with an increase Of net revenue during
this period of about $4,000. From this
net revenue must be met the increase in
taxes and the cost OF capital. The taxes
paid BY the Railroad Corporation in 1914
were soao. 40 more than in 1903, shown g
tically one-half Of the increased net
revenue leaving the other half to pro-
vide for the other increases necessarily
chargeable against the roads income

J. F. Gould Of Ban gor appeared il be-
half of the Bangor & Aroossook and
showed how the tax o. that road has
been increased in recent years He
stated thar the freight business OF the
road, which depends almost wholly on
the prosperity OF Aroos-ook, was the
pest ever last year and tho worst ever
this year. This year. however, the tax
will be increased 5000 and the road
will lack eaough to pay the fixed charges
by sj3, 344. The economy Of the manage
ment had been complimentei BY the
Interstate Commerce Commission so that
the road found it very dif.cult to re-
trench TO meet present bad business con-
di:ions. The train sevice Is only what
the people Of Aroostoox deserve on &C
count OF the business they give the road
and it can hardly be reduced

brief history Of railroad taxation and
argued that the present system works
hardship to roads mostly operating
outside the State as they are taxed on
a basis Of their gross earnings per
mile Of their whole systems while the
mileage IN Maine may be earning only
a small proportion Of this He thought
the roads should at least be given a
temporary reduction in their taxes, to
be restored later when business picks
