states have two cent passenger rate
and whatever loss Is incurred Is recov-
cred through freight revenue. The jus
tice OF such procedure was recently
passed upon by the Supreme Court
Of West Virginia and the decision is
50 far-reaching that we have asked
L. ID. Johnson, president OF the Nor
folk and Western Railway whose road
contested the case to briefly review
the suit. Mr.. Johnson said in part:
Some ten years ago, passenger
fares were fixed by the legislatures
Of q large number of states at two
cents mile. AS basis for such
economic legislation. no examination
was made Of the cost Of doing the
business SO regulated. NOR was any
attention given to the fact whether
such a rate would yield to the rail-
way companies an adequate or any
net return upon the capital invested
in conducting this class Of business.
such law was passed in West
Virginia in 1907. The Norfolk and
Western Railway Company put the
rate into effect and maintained it for
two years. It's accounting during
these two years showed that two
cents q mile per passenger barely
paid the out-of-pocket cost and moth

On Two-oent Passenger Rates

p0th the state ana the Railway Com
pany testified that the claims Of the
railroad were sustained by the facts.
Two cents did not pay the cost Of
carrying q passenger mile. The
State, however, commended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
on its state freight business to give
fair return upon the capital used in
its passenger as we'll as its freight
business. For the purposes Of the
case, the railroad did not deny this,
but held to Its contention that the
State could not segregate its pas
senger business for rate fixing with
out allowing a rate that would be
sufficient to pay the cost Of doing
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested in
doing the business regulated. This
was the issue presented TO the Sp-
preme Court. It's decision responds
to the judgment Of the fairminded
sentiment Of the country. The SUI
preme Court says that, even though
a railroad earns surplus on a par
ticular commodity by charging rea-
SOuhDl0 IdI9bs LuHJ duOTQb no IeabUA
for compelling It to haul another's
person or property for less than cost.
The surplus from reasonable rate
properly belongs to the railway com
pany. II the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced. The State may
not even up by requiring the railroad
to carry other trafic for nothing or
for less than cost
The decision is 3 wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules Of fair dealing apply to railway
companies. The fact that one makes
surplus on his wheat crop would
never be urged as reason for COM
polling him to sell his cotton at less
than cost It would not satisfy the
man who wanted bread TO be told
that its high price enabled the cotton
! manufacturer to get his raw product
for less than cost. IN this case the
court reaflrmed the homely maxim
that each tub must stand upon Its
own bottom"

On Financing RAILROADS

the Legislators and the Commits
sioners.
Managing railroad is quite differ
emit from managing government
where the money is raised by taxa
ton. When the expenditures. for
good reasons or otherwise. increase.
taxes can be equally increased. The
railroads, while servants of the pub
lie, cannot raise money with such
ease and facility. The railroads must
keep their expenditures within their
incomes because while they have
some control over their expenditures
they have almost no control over their
incomes, their rates being fixed BY
public authorities.
There is moi q railway manager In
the country today who Is not fearful
that under the press Of increasing de-
mands the transportation systems OF
the country will, In o few years, break
down, unless the railroads are allowed
to earn larger funds wherewith to
build Il up. There are vast sections
of the country. especially In the West.
where more railroads are needed and
they cannot be built unless the rail-
ways raise new capital.
People invest money in order to
make money, and they are skeptical
az to whether they can make money
by investing in concerns that are dealt
with stringently and unfairly. Rail
road securities must be made more
attractive to invite investments. and
in order that they may be made more
attractive. the roads must be allowed
earnings that will enable them 70
