CLOSE MARGIN OF PROFIT
IN OPERATION OF RAILWAY
Large Amount Of Capital Risked For
Very Small Returns
OF VITAL INTEREST TOPUBLIC
Investors viii Not Provide Money for
Improvements Unless They Are
Assured a Reasonable Profit
on Their investment

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.)- 1.-The close
margin of profit for a railroad under
present conditionssis strikingly shown
by figures submitted by President Har-
rison in the annual report of South
ern Railway Company for the fiscal
year ended June Both, 1916. In the
most prosperous year of the Compa-
ny's history the net operating income
1921, 0O4, OO5.O9) represented only 5.31
per cent on the investment ($395, 722,-
785.O6) in the railroad and equipment
which produced it,
1T may perhaps be said" said Mr..
Harrison, that there is no industry ex-
cept a railroad in which so large a
capital is risked for such return in
its most successful year."
At time when the newspapers dali
ly are printing articles in regard to
increasing railroad gross earnings, as
indicating a rising tide of general
prosperity, it is well to bear in mind
the very small return on money in
vested in railroad property.
Many persons are misled into believ-
ing that the railroads are fabulously
prosperous by the mere size of the fig
ures in which the earnings of large
railroads are expressed, but it should
ho rarooTo harad tba+ IN apnrp,o,,c ,,,,.,
of money was required to construct
and equip their plants and that the
return on each dollar invested is rela.
lively small
1t is manifestly in the interest OF
the employees of railroad and of
the public served that the railroad
secure new capital for additions and
improvements to its plant so that il
may give better service and offer en-.
larged employment. However, this
can be accomplished only by allowing
the railroad to earn an amount on
the capital already invested sufficient
to promise a return on the additional
capital desired.
Governmental agencies may depress
rates and enact restrictive Legislation
which will deprive the man who has
already invested in railroads of a fair
return on his investment, but no plan
! has been devised for forcing the man
with money in the bank to put it
into railroad construction or improve
ment. Unless the investment appears
attractive to him and offers a fair
return he will put his money in some
enterprise that cannot be affected by
governmental agencies.
| Every employee of the Southern
/ Railway and every shipper served by
it who recognizes his true interest will
| do what he can to insure such a re-
turn on the capital now invested in
The Southern Railway as will make the
| securities of the Company more al
tractiYe to investors, so the Company
will be able to secure the additional
capital needed to carry on a consist
emily constructive program which will
mean increased prosperity for every
interest in the territory served by it,
