RATES
FALL STEADILY
in PAST DECADE
Percentages Of Stocks Paying
in 1915 is Smaller Than
For Eleven Years

The percentage Of railway stock on
which dividends were declared was
smaller in 1915 than in any other year
since 1904 and the average rate OF
dividend declared was the lowest
since 1905, says the Railway Age
] Gazette in an editorial In its current
/ issue analyzing the statistics OF the
interstate commerce commission for
the fiscal year ended on June 30,
which have Just been issued.
While many persons are talking
about the remarkably large current
earnings Of the railways" the edi.
toriar says, these statistics have dis.
closed some. striking facts illustrat-
ing the extent to which the railway
business was depressed before the
phenomenal increase Of earnings be-
gan.
The stock on which any dividends
were paid was only 60.45 per cent Of
the total In other words, no divi-
dends at all were paid on 1856 of it.
The average rate paid on all stock
was but 3,S per cent.
1T will be noted that the largest
amount OF dividends ever declared
Was III l5l1s anu LldI Tie next largest
amount was In 1914. The amount in
1914. however, was swelled by large
extra dividends declared by the Union
Pacific and the Central Pacific in con.
pection with the dissolution by the
courts Of the Hartman system
'The reduction in the amount of
stock-paying dividends and the amount
OF dividends paid in 1915 was due to
the decline in the net operating in.
come Of the railways in 1914 and 1915.
This. was due chiefly to increases In
operating expenses and taxes. The In.
creases in operating expenses were
due chiefly to advances in the wages
of labor, and It may be said truly
that the entire reduction in net operat.
ing income and in dividends, and the
fact that many roads became unable
even to pay their interest. were at
tributable to increases in wages and
taxes. II Is especially important that
the pubic should be reminded OF
these facts at this time
The Gazette gives the following
table to show the amount of stocks
on which dividends were declared,
the amount OF the dividends and other
figures for the years 1906 and 1915.
