When you buy an auto you are
in for a big tax, paying so of
the total wholesale cost of the
machine when you receive it.
You then must pay license tax
before you operate it at all. You
fill up with gasoline when you
pay tax of one cent for every
gallon you buy. The assessor
comes along for the county and
state and taxes you up again,
then the city collector hunts you
up TO settle with you for town
tax. The automobile owners of
Kentucky paid 81, 1867 A in
license fees last year and $780,
600. 90 in gasoline tax. The exact
amount of advalorem tax is not
known, but will amount to at
least two million more. There
were l54, 73l machines registered
with the various county clerks
last year, and there will be more
mobiles and more license next
year.

SALARIES OF RAILROAD OEFT-
GALS


Replying to a resolution of en-
quiry into the salaries of railroad Of
hcia.s, Introduced in Congress the
raah uad oifici..ls make answer.
Il. all The general officers of the
railroads Of the United States (some
1900 companies) Had worked for
nothing in 1920, what might the eff
feet have been, first, on railroad
rates; second, on railroad wages?
The total revenue of the railroads
for 1920 was>$6,17S,3SS,O46.
Assume for easy calculation, that
$6,O00,O00,0OO represented the in
come from rates and fares in 1920;
also assume that the salaries of gen.
eral officers for 1920 amounted to
$50,0OO,0OO (the actual sum was
$47,119,465).
The so million dollars is 1-12Oth
of billion dollars. Therefore each
dollar of rates or fares could have
been reduced 1-12Oth, or S3 one
hundredth of one cent.
In other words, if all the general
officers had worked for nothing, rail-
| way rates and fares could not have
| been reduced as much as 1 per cent.
Suppose the salaries of all general
| officers were cut in half (to an aver
age of little over $4,000 year, or
less than the average pay of conduc-
| tors or engineers).
The possible saving to a shipper
whose freight bills have been $1,000
a year would have been $4.16 year
or about 35 cents a month.
If the salaries of all general off.
GERS in 1920 ($47,119,465) had beer
cut in half and then added to the
railroad payrool it would have made
possible increase to the men Of
65-10O of 1 per cent.
The wage increases alone from
1916 to 1920 inclusive ($2,1SO,OO1,
091) amounted to more than 4(
times as much as the total salaries
of all general officers of the rail
roads.
The total revenues of the railways
of Glass 1 (those doing an annua
business of $1,OOO,OOO or more) fol
the last five and a half years were
$26, ,491,6 642,4 ,445, ranging from $3,
6,S65,766 in 1916 to $6,17S,3SS,
046 in 1920, which were cut to $2,-
76,497,252 in 1921.
4 The total amount paid out by the
railroads in the same years for
wages to labor was $13, ,932, ,18O
i or more than half the total revenues
Exclusive of officers salaries the
railroads paid out for labor, ST.
435,215 in 1916 up to $3,616,427,-
| 207 in 1920. This amount was cut
to $1,43O,522,643 in 1921.
| Out of the earnings of the roads
the amount paid to labor during
1916 was 1891 per cent of the reve
nues ranging to 5S,52 per cent in
i 1920 and 53.44 in 1921. Out of ev'
| cry dollar of revenue 10 one hun
dred per cent was paid to officers
| and 5S52 was paid in wages il
1920.
