Editorial Comment

(St. Paul Daily Ncws)

For cool nerve the Pullman Co. wins.
II has for years allowed passengers, by tipping,
to swell to living rate the mcagcr wages Of its
pOrtcrs.
1t proposes new, in effect, that the passengers
should pay also the company's income tax.
That is the import Of it's declaration to the Inter
state Commerce Commission that income tax pay
ments should, in computation rof the company's
profits, be considered operating expense.
In other words having had since 1867 practically
All alright monopoly of the sleeping car business,
this company feels that it should not only be guar
anteed fair rate Of return on its investment, but
that its income, unlike the incomes Of ordinary cor
poratiOns should be free from tax.
Pullman profits, according to contested esti-
mate, amounted in 1926 to ll.O8 per cent on book
investment.
And what does the company give the public in
return? Except few fancy trains the same
lurid red wood and garish green carpet it has Of
fered for years. The sights and smells.
But Interstate Commerce Commissioner Campbell
has summed up the case.
Speaking for lower Pullman rates the commits
soner said in January, 1925: For the lower half of
space about seven by four feet with place to
wash. the Pullman passenger pays today 1926 for
less than "a hours between Washington and
Chicago. When compare that with what can
be secured in a modern hotel for an equal sum, it
seems to me that the argument that the Pullman
passenger enjoys luxury is about exhausted"
