EARNINGS OF UNION
PACIFIC LINES GAIN
Net Income of System Is $36, ,23l,-
$50, the Annual Report
Shows.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 14.-Net income
of the Union Pacific system in 1873
from all sources amounted to $38,23l''
$50, the annual report revealed TO-DAY,
exceeding the previous years total by
$2,477,855. Surplus for the common
stock of the Union Pacific Railroad
Co.. after preferred dividends and
sinking fund requirements, was $34,-
230,639. a gain Of 50, ,467 1853, and equiv
alent to 1910 per cent on the par
value common stock, against Jazz per
cent the year before. Surplus trans
ferred to profit and loss was $12,OOl,-
479. compared with $9.533.625 the year
before. Net income from transporta-
ton operations increased 2,125, ,4S4.
An increase of $1.772,735 In freight
revenue was attributed to larger crops
in States west of the Rocky Noun
tains and heavier movements OF ium'
ber. agriculture implements and auto
mobiles. coupled with marked improve
ment in the mining industry and a
continued increase in the oil industry
in Union Pacific territory. The re-
port noted a substantial decrease in
the movement of grains and mill
products from Kansas and Nebraska.
The movement Of live stock also was
below normal.
Passenger revenue dropped $1,542.'

OF local short-haul business to motor

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
The Repreciating Dollar.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Before we leave the subject there
the theory that common stocks are
superior to bonds as Investment over
a period of years. This Is the claim
that a diversified list of stocks pro.
tects the investor from a. depreciat.
ing dollar.
It Is argued that when commodity
prices rise and the purchasing power
Of the dollar falls in proportion the
loss is made up to the holder Of
stocks by the fact that dividends are
increased. whereas the bondholder
has no such compensation. His in
come is always the same. The
coupon rate on his bond Is fixed, and
while his income may be the same in
dollars it may be very much less in
buying ability. 1t cannot be denied
that granted the premises the con.
clusion is sound. 1t has worked out
that way more or less during the past
quarter Of q century, the period in
which the phrase high cost OF liv-
ing" was invented.
The investor who bought a per
cent bond in 1900 has had the same
income in money ever since, but the
$40 annual return that he received in
1900 would not buy nearly as much
food or clothing or shelter in 1920.
If the price trend in commodities
is to be upward indefinitely there
is no answer to this argument in
favor of common stocks. But the
price trend of commodities will not
always be upward.
In fact there is good reason to be.
lieve that we are now just entering
upon long period of declining prices.
If this be the case the plea in favor
of common stocks loses much OF its
force. Advocates of the stock theory
say that In a time of falling prices
while stocks have no advantage over
bonds, still in the long run they have
no disadvantage in that income plus
capital appreciation works out about
the same with one form of security as
with the other. Nevertheless to admit
that the commodity price movement
has reversed itself takes away in large
measure from the attraction that
common stocks offer the investor
