Modifies SFair Return
In the matter OF reasonable re-
turn the commission pointed out
that until May /, 1922, railroads had
been legally entitled to 6 per cent
annual earnings on the aggregate
value of property used in trans
portation. The sum was nxed by
the transportation act as the
amount equal to 51z per cent, with
one-half of one per cent additional
to be granted in the discretion OF
the commission for provision for
improvements and betterments to
railroads.
The commission exercised this
discretion and the reasonable re-
turn consequently has generally
been known as the per cent re-
turn" The commission in modify
ing the fair return standard re-
viewed testimony taken by 1t In the
general rate case and concluded
that "a substantial reduction in the
percentage of return might be I'M
settling in its effect, particularly
in light of the fact that the return
allowed in 1920 was not realized.

I'VE may observe that a fair
return of SIS per cent" the COM
mission said in further explanation,
a. after deducting the federal
corporation income tax on return
of per cent would be approximate
ly the equivalent of fair return
of per cent out of which. the fed
