Swollen Profits?

There has been so much talk about
wages and profits that perhaps you would
be interested in knowing how much
money the Great Northern Railway is
making out of the war.
Its net income for 1913 will be about Is
million dollars. This amount is less than
the railways net income for 10 of the
20 years from 1911 to 1880, period
which included good years and poor ones
and the first World War.
But most surprising is the fact that the
Great Northern's business in 1913 was
just about double what it was for the
average of the years of the first World
War and for the average of the 20 years
from 1911 to 1880.
War taxes, of course, are the principal
reason for the smaller net income. The
Great Northern's taxes for 1913 come
close to so million dollars. That is one
fourth of the railways gross income for
the year. During the first World War,
the Great Northern's taxes averaged
about million dollars year.
Besides the smaller net income for the
past year, huge expenditures must even

tually be made to repair locomotives,
cars, tracks and other property that is
being worn out by the heavy wartime
traffic. These expenditures ordinarily
would be made from current earnings,
but they have had to be deferred because
Of the shortage of materials and man
power. Meanwhile the money represented
by these deferred expenditures appears
as profit" and is being syphoned off by
war time taxes.
Dividends paid by the Great Northern
during the years from 1911 to 1880
averaged Sc per share. During 1913 the
owners Of the Great Northern received
81 per share, the same as in other recent
years. Thus, while the volume of services
performed by their railway has doubled,
their returns have shrunk to one third
of what they received over the earlier
2O-year period.
The Great Northern would like to have
these facts known by the people who
live in the communities served by its
lines, and particularly by those who de-
pend upon its facilities for their trans
portation requirements and favor it with
their patronage.
