WASHINGTON, May 24.-The ma
tion's railroads earned only one pei
cent on their property Investment last
year, interstate commerce commits
sioners were told here today at the
opening of a hearing to fix new freigh,
rates.
This statement was made by How
ard Elliott, chairman of the rate com
mission of the Association of Railway
Executives who began the argument
on behalf of the roads for a genera
freight increase totaling SLOT 600, ,00t
annually.
Under the transportation act, The
interstate commerce commission must
Tx rates which will yield the roads 4
return of six per cent on their valu
atoms. s
The railroads are combining their re
quests for rate increases to freight
tariffs. -E
Chairman Elliott presented the com
mission with this statement showing
the financial condition Of the roads
for the year ending October 81, 1919:
Property investment, $40, ,616 ,573 ,399
Six per cent return would have been
$1.236, 1894 ,402.
Adjusted net operating income
$219,217,4o7.
Deficit below six per cent returns
$1,o17,776,995.
Total freight revenue, 1868 ,e2s, 1872
Total all revenues, s., $50 1881 1892.
New rates must be 27.S5 per cent
higher on the above basis if the roads
are to be able to pay six per cent on
their property Investment, Elliott told
the commission.
The rate increases now being asked
to insure six percent return are
figured on the basis of present opa--
ating costs, Elliott said. They taka
no account of increased operating OK
penses that will accrue if the rail.
road labor board grants 100000 EN-
ployes wage increases totaling 81
900, 900 900 annually.
THE price OF transportation" said
Elliott, has not increased nearly as
much as the cost of producing it.
Expenses generally have increased
100 percent, but revenues only ror;y
percent
"The country cannot count on any
large contribution to the net ear1in gs
through saving in expenses"
Elliott called attention to the fact
that roads must now pay seven rer-
cent to borrow money, whereas fer
merly they paid only four and five.
