operating income and net income After
operating expenses and taxes have been
provided for, after uncollectablc accounts
have brcn deducted, after funds have been
set aside ~ pay rentals on equipment aud
joint facilities, the balance left over from
revenue is called net railway operating
income. Many railroads have some in
come from sources other than railway
operations, such as interest and dividends
on securities owned, which, added to the
net railway operating income, constitute
what is known as gross income. There
are certain fixed charges, however, which
must be paid before the net income is rs.
tablished, and chief among these is The
interest on the bonds aud the rental of
leased lines, The actual truth is that after
making deductions for interest and rental,
the railroads as a group, instead Of having
a net income Of 33 per cent IN 1921, really
had no net income at all.
After reading the above we would like 4
know how many average individuals know
more about what constitutes railroad net in
come than they knew before. Mr.. FELTON, n,
doubt knows So, no doubt, does every otheI
railroad executive and director aud cxccutiv,
accountant and railway financier. But IN,
trouble, and the principal trouble with Amer
lean railroad management now that il hH
finally and wisely undertaken 10 take III,
people into It's confidence. is that in going 4
the public it speaks in language the publi
does not understand. II has not yet learne,
that in matters Of railroad finance what tn
average American needs is a phonetic primer.
The statement by Mr.. FELTON,, quoted abov,
is one Of the plainest and most Understandable
we have seen in relation to railroad financ,
II still lacks much of one words-of .one-syllabl
basis which must be reached before the publ
generally will know what railroad executive
are talking about when they discuss publicl
matters of railway finance.
