The above cut is the likeness of Bishop

the feeling of Manhood and a yearning
for religious freedom, and justice in all

Great have been the accomplishments
of our noble Fathers. There is given 70

On the fifteenth of February, there
will be celebrated here, what is our

forth to all who may wish to know, the

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
RYGEORGE r. HUGHES.
Northern Parilc's Annual Report

In the last article in this Series
comment was made upon the annual
report of the Northern Pacific Rail
road and some of the lessons con-
tanned therein as TO investment in
railroad securities.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion prescribed uniform classifica-
tion of freight which all the railroads
use in their annual reports. 1t is in
teresting to note what products a
railroad transports III the greatest
amounts. In the case of the North
ern Pacific products of forests
take first place. More tons of lum-
Der and similar articles are carried
than anything else. Products Of
mines come second and products
of agriculture" are a close third. Now
1t is humber in which the Panama
Canal figures as competitor most
seriously.
1t follows then that any relief
which the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission may allow the railroads
toward meeting the canal competition
will help most roads in the same po-
sition as the Northern Pacific.
Observe, TOO, that out OF the prod.
ucts of mines" bituminous coal Is
more than 30 per cent, The soft coal
trade has been greatly depressed the
past year anu Stlll Is depressed. ANY
Improvement here would help the
Northern Pacific. Grain is the most
important item among products of
agriculture" Obviously the state Of
the crops Is very vital matter to
this road as to many others.
There are other interesting facts
to be cleaned from study Of the
freight classification reports. all OF
which have a bearing on the invest
ment status of railway stocks and
bonds. Now let us see how these
traffic results are translated into
earnings. In 1924 freight revenue
of the Northern Pacific decreased $40
per cent and pa ssenger revenue l4.71
per cent from that Of the preceding
year. In spite Of these losses the
road was able TO show an increase
in net railway operating income from
$l7. .10o.556 in 1928 to sr9, ,ss1 OF in
1924. from which the conclusion is
that there was good manasemept.
Every stakeholder is. of course,
free to draw his own inferences. but
At least It can be said that much is
to he gained from study of annual
reports and incidentally it may be
added that the Northern Pacific's 1924
report is unusually instructive.
