dinner and supper for the last foul
years-in fact ever since the govern.
ment turned the roads back to the
private owners after the war.
/ The result of this is, that nine per-
sons out of ten in the United States
today believe that the railroads are in
a terrible plight; that their operating
expenses are that freight
rates ought TO be raised if they are
to make repairs etc. etc, etc.
II isn't true.
The figures as quoted in the ac-
companying box show profits Of The
leading railroads for 1921. These
are their own figures as quoted by
gentlemen on Wall Street. The
Atchlson, Topeka and Santa Fe has
a few gold bonds ready for absorp-
tion. The road operates 700 miles
of road. In the year 1921 it clean
ed up profit of $39,931,6G2. Poor
little thing!
The New York Central in the same
year made a clean profit of $22,205,-
G96.
The Northern Pacific got away
with profit Of $22,O65,339.
No wonder freight rates ught to be
raised.
or course when we get into intri-
cate railroad bookkeeping we as
sumo it can be shown that black is
white after the manner of proving
the cat had ten tails, but stripped Of
all befuddling and specious argument
the figures as quoted seem to be the
facts told briefly:
The situation right now is so seri-
Gus that farmers in many states can
not get coal to thresh wheat-wheat
which after threshing will have to be
piled on the ground because elevators
and graineries are packed full wait
aiting-waiting for cars.
Write to your congressman and
senator. Let this government know
that the railroads can no longer ex-
plot this nation while they drive on
for increased profits-blood money.
The very life of our principal indus
try, agriculture, is at stake. And
