A Report to the Public

The annual report to the stockholders is
part Of the routine Of business IN rallWtS =
companies, as in other corporations. Inc
making of such report is recognition OF
the responsibility which the owners have
placed on the management Of the successful
handling Of their property.
Railway management, however, has a
double responsibility. 1T owes allegiance
also to the public The nature of railway
service makes the conduct OF a railroad
public trust, and the public is entitled to
know how that trust is discharged.
We all like to see where our money goes.
Here is a report to the public on what be-
came of every 800 spent for Illinois Central
service in 1927:
The operation Of trains stations and other
transportation service cost %3263. That
included 1914 for locomotive fuel
The upkeep of cars and locomotives took
$1614 and the upkeep Of other property
$12.78, total for upkeep of $20.92.
The publication of tariffs and solicitation
of traffic took $3.50. Dining car and rcStau-
rant service accounted for 65 cents. Legal
expenses amounted to II cents. Investiga-
ton of the value Of the railroad cost cents
Pensions to retire employees took 36 cents
Clerks and other general Office employees
were paid f131. General officers received
20 cents Payments of loss and damage
claims tOtaled $1.44. Miscellaneous general
expenses accounted for ~ cents
Charges made TO cover the wearing out Of
equipment took 1897. Rents paid for the
use Of property belonging to others took
$464 Interest payments ON borrowed
money came to $3.50. Taxes took 1921.
All the expenditures up to this point to-
tailed 1885, This left 1914 Of the original
800. Dividends to stockholders took 1898,
leaving 81 cents to be applied ON property
improvements.
Railway expenditures as this outline illus
trates, are widely dispersed. Moreover, they
are promptly made little money remains
long i'll the railroads keeping. That stlmu-
lates commercial activity.
Constructive criticism and suggestions In
vited.

Rival forces in the Hoover

Dental preference vote were silent
today on the influence Senator
Frank B. Willis death would have
on the outcome of the Indiana pri-
mary, May 8.
M. Bert Thurman, managing the
campaign of Senator James E.
Watson, was in Chicago on a mis-
sion Watson headquarters did not
reveal. Political circles thought it
likely Thurman was comforting with
hackers of Frank o. Lowden, relative
to the interests of Watson and Low
den in the Ohio primary race.
Charge Pact With Lowden
Ohio dispatches indicated Low
den, as the second choice of many
Ohio delegates, and Watson's name
was mentioned in a situation made
perplexing by Willis sudden death.
Willis leaders are to meet Wednes-
day to decide what course their
campaign efforts shall take.
Hoover forces in Indiana have
charged openly that Watson en-
tered into an agreement with Low
den, promising him Indiana's dele
gates when Watson withdraWS in
the national convention
Thurman declined to reply to the
statement here Saturday, but a Fl
Wayne newspaper published what
purported to be a statement from
him denying that Watson had been
party to a conference with Low
den. William Settle, Indiana Farm
Bureau Federation president, and
ex-senator Murray Barker when
the pro-LOwden agreement was
reached.

The showers are doing some
damage to the crop" Mr.. Boyd said

Relative to production Mr.. Boyd
estimated that the Valleys total

mains favorable. This will be re-
duced if the showers continue, he
said.
