Enormous Railroad
Profits for 1916 Are
Shown in the Reports

Washington, D. C.-More than one
billion dollars net income from oper-
atoms made made by the railroads
Of the country during the year now
closing.
The huge total is the peak of pros
perity in railroad operations, and
stands more than one-third higher
than the total of 1913, hitherto the
banner year.
Statistics gathered by the Inter
state Commerce commission, com
plete for nine months and made the
basis for calculation for the entire
year, indicate that the total net in
come from operations will be approx
mately $1.O9S. 900 900.
Estimate is Conservative.
For the first nine months OF the
year complete returns show S785 ,55S,-
266. Even this does not represent the
full amount, as roads whose income
is less than 100000 are not includ-
ed.
The estimate-S,O 9s, 600, o0-is re-
garded by officials as conservative.
1t makes no allowance for normal in
crease in business during the last
three months of the year-returns for
which are unavailable.
Analysis Of the returns for the first
nine months shows a startling in
crease from January to September,
amounting to more than CT per cent.
Thus, net income In January, $64, 915,-
2S6, had mounted to s107, go ,S14 in
September an increase Of nearly s43,-
900, 900.
Chief Items of Income.
For the first nine months Of the
year, the commissions figures show
that the railroads collected $2,654,-
S29,647 from all sources Of operation.
The chief items Of revenue are as
follows:
Freight, s1,s75, O19, $50; passenger
traffic, 1922. 100, 907; mails, s45,-
S4S,609; from express companies, $685.,
0S9.474; MISUNDERSTANDING and buff
fet car service, operation of hotels
and rekSaurants, sale of vending priv
leges on trains and at stations, parcel
rooms at stations, demurrage, stor-
age of freight and baggage, telegraph
and telephone wires leased to other
companies, operation of grain eleva-
tors, etc.-s60, 414,597: and all other
transportation charges, s76,os7,611.
Three Billion Total.
The last item embraces sleeping
and parior car service; freight or
milk, which has virtually an express
service; switching charges and the
operation of special trains.
This total, using the first nine
months as a basis, will reach So. $780,
640,502 when the year closes, officials
estimate.
Expenses have not kept pace with
the rapid rise in receipts, although
they have measurably increased. The
chief items of expense for the nine
months period for which returns are
available r as follows:
Maintenance of way, s32O,157.52s;
maintenance of equipment, SAL, $780,
o6s; transportation, 1888, 973, 536; traf-
fic, s46,679.422; miscellaneous opera
