CHICAGO. March 2.-Taxes charged
the nations railroads for 1922 in
creased 101a per cent over 1921 and
amounted to $304,SS5,l5S, the largest
sum ever paid by the carriers, Hale
Holden, chairman of the western rail-
ways committee on public relations
and president Of the Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy railroad, an
nounced here today.
Comparing the 1922 taxes with
those of other years, Mr.. Holden as
serted that 1922 taxes were "a per
cent greater than those of 1915. an
Increase of liz per cent over the
mount paid in 1912, and exceeded
,tSh dividends paid by the carriers
~ any year except 1917 The 1922
taxes, he, said. amounted 10 IS per
cent of the railroads net earnings as
compared with 13 per cent In 1917.
Although the railroads reduced
rates and cut expenses by efficient
operation. notwithstanding the shop
crafts strike, Mr.. Golden said, the
benefits that might have been de-
rived from these changes both by the
railways and the public were serious
y reduced by the fact that taxes
were largely increased"
Western Roads Hit.
Western railways. according to Mr..
Holden. have been affected even more
during the last ten years by increases
in taxes than the railways OF the coun-
try as a whole. The announcement
lated In 1872 their total taxes were
less than s45.000,000; in 1922 they

let operating income declined 70 per
cent, in spite OF the fact that during
these years the investments made in
the properties, and on which il was
naturally expected a return would be
armed and paid. increased almost three
billion dollars
Mr.. Holden then quoted what he
termed remarks made in the Senate by
lows:
1t will be very difficult to reduce
freight rates if we continue in this
country TO increase taxes upon the
railroads as we have in the last four
years."
''As Senator Borah said" Mr.. Hold
