so the actual net operating income
of the carriers was $3.50, ,958,000 less
than the minimum they ought to
receive if their solvency is to be
assured.
When thc carriers were returned
TO their ,owners their treasures
were dangerously depleted. They
could not be strengthened because
of the negligible net earnings since
reported. In consequence, it has
Been impossible for the companies
to pay their bills promptly. One
railroad is understood TO have bills
payable Of $65,000,000. The Gov.
ernInept is said to sowe this troan
over Sl00,000.000 This is doubtless
a typical situation.
A prompt and liberal settlement
of the accounts between the Rail-
road Administration and the car
riers would produce untold benefits.
1t would be the first step towards
a business revival. 't..
The second step would follow
when increased net earnings prompt
the railroads to begin buying again.
The amount of work that should
be done to place the rolling stock
and other property of the carriers
in shape to handle normal flow OF
traffic is stupendous. Far-sighted
business men have recognized that
if the railroads enter the markets
as buyers in periods of depression,
not only would they procure their
supplies more cheaply, but the pc
riod of depression would unqucs-
tionably be shortened.

Current Business Conditions
(Fm Monthly City Ju>
TIME present situation OF the
railroads of this country is so
&@

TIME present situation OF the
railroads of this country is so
- intimately related to current
business conditions that 1t should
be thoroughly and generally under
stood, because only with the help
of constructive public opinion can
the railroads hope to regain the
ground they have lost.
Contrary TO the charge that is
frequently made, we do not believe
that current freight rates arc re-
sponsible for the present low trend
Of business throughout the country.
The causes of commercial depres-
sion are worldwide and are not to
be found in domestic tranSportat ton
charges. When business was good
last Fall the largest tonnage in the
history of the country was offered
the railroads, despite the advanced
rates which became effective Aug
ust 10Th. To-day ocean tonnage
rates are at the lowest levels in a
great many years, but ocean traffic
is suffering perhaps even greater
stagnation than rail traffic. There
are many commodities that would
not move even If the roads offered
to carry them free, for the simple
reason that no market exists for
them.
One simple case illustrates the
point: Texas farmers in April re-
ceived S a ton for spinach The
freight rate TO Chicago was S5036
ton. The retail price at that time
was $500 ton. or S26464 more than
the railroad and the grower to-
cether received Whether the far
mer would be benefited in the
slightest by a reduction of freight
rates under those conditions is
hardly debatablc. t =
Regardless OF the present level of
rates, it must be borne in mind that
this country has been built up by
the means of the cheapest trans
portation in the world. SO wa. be-
lieve that ultimately general re-
duction in rates is essential, but that
cannot come until railway operating
costs have been substantially re-
duced., Until then no reduction is
deiensible. Railway rates are on
war level because railway costs are
on a war level. Business would be
poorly served by slashing OF rates
that would produce series OF rail-
way bankruptcies.
Nevertheless. we cannot expect
prosperous conditions until the
cycle OF deAation has been COM
pleted. In this cycle must be in
cuded railway wages and railway
SuoDiies When operat ting eSDerSeS
have been debated, railway rates
can be debated, but we cannot ex-
pect to go back to the prc-war level
OF rates, as those rates were un-
fairly low.
An examination of the railroads
operating expenses during the eight
months following expiration of the
Government guaranty, shows actual
net operating income of the carriers
over that period was only S277,-
$4,000. A 6 per cent. return for
that period amounts to S72S. S.90l, 900;
