VAR TRANSPORTATION

The performance Of the American railroads in
meeting the unprecedented demands upon them
for transportation service in these war years has
been widely commended They have not only
carried the enormous wartime load that would
normally move IN railroad service, but they have
also moved the immense volume OF traffic which
has been forced of the highways by fuel, vehicle
-aad TIRE $hauag together With practically al
of the traffic formerly moving in coastwise and
intercoastal shipping.
Their ability 70 render satisfactory service dur.
ing this period of record breaking traffic was due
primarily 10 the fact that all through the dePres.
sion from 1882 to 1889 the railroads. both lndl.
vidualy and collectively, had been developing
improved transportation methods and facilities
and building up a central organization to meet
wartime emergencies.
The enormous volume of traffic inciden, TO the
war effort concentrated on the railroad, which
serves the largest Of population and indus
try east Of the Misslssippi River, and reaches the
Great Lakes and the Atlantic Seaboard, has been
handled only because the Company, through the
war years has at great expense, added TO It's plant
and equipment.

RAILROAD SOCIAL SECURITY

The pension, the security in old age for lfe',
work well done, has been one Of the pnnoipal
rewards for service with the Company since the
turn Of the century. To the employe, the pension
stands next in importance 10 the Job Itself There
now has been introduced IN the Congress Ieglsla.
uon which would intefmingle with the pension
plan, as II now exists other forms OF social security
OF unknown soundness which would result, IN
the judgment Of the managemenI, IN undermining
the existing plan TO the detnment Of the employees
"A situation which the Management thinks, from
the standpoint OF both the employees and the
stockholders, would be most unfortunate.

RESEARCH

Through research. the railroads OF the country
have kept in the forefront OF archaeological prog.
ress They have not only been continuously en-
gagged in original work OF their own, but have
also intensvely followed the development OF
every branch OF science and engineering for dis.
coverleS and advances adaptable TO railroad use.
To the railroads, research means the organized,
scientific eadeaxas- -eeasts#tly- 30 provide better

TAXES

Railway taxes Of the Company for 1914 federal
income taxes, excess profits taxes and other
federal state and local corporate and property
taxes), amounted TO tl26,054,485. They were,
with the exception of l94', the highest IN the
history Of the Company. These taxes. together
with Unemployment Insurance taxes OF sl2,S62,679.
and Railroad Refinement taxes OF $l5,94l,2 ,247,
aggregated $l32,s3s,4o9.
All taxes required l5.2 cents out OF each dollar
OF operating revenue the equivalent OF p. .3B
upon the capital stock. or $ll.6j per share The
extent Of the tax bill in 1914 is well indicated by
the fact that taxes took about 20 cents out OF every
dollar left after paying operating expenses and
other charges.
The railroads are taxed not only by the Federal
Government and the various States. but by many
of the counties, cities and other municipalities
they serve These taxes, which the railroads have
borne for many years az ever increasing rates, to-
gether with all other kinds OF taxes, principally
the heavy Income and Excess Profits Taxes, have
reached the point where practically all OF the So
called large profits Of the railroads during the
war period have been and are now being drained
of IN taxes.
The result is that the railroads have been un-
able 10 create the reserves that should be PROVIDED

after the war.

 through the rapids of the worlds most beautiful and dangerous river the Colorado. The movies i'll na- tural color are as gorgeous as they are exciting. You will sit spell bound as you watch the Frant craft leap and bob and sink and cap size in the waters that are too thin to blow and too muddy to drink Released from the Navy he brings the platform a grand new show.
 Not the thrills of war, which are hors noncours, but the thrills that normal man in times of peace goes deliberately out to face, conquers them, and comes back with a new glint in his eye. If you want such thrills, Alexander Grant has them for you. Named for two great generals, one would expect COuIdkC hIld 0O~AoASAA "A
 motion picture pick he brings to you is of his trip down "the worlds most dangerous river" the Colo rado. That is the river that runs thorugn the Grand Canyon.
 To attempt to shoot Its rapids, run its narrow gorges, is to toy with death. There have been several successful expeditions. Others have lectured on 1t. But this New Eng iand lad, with the gift of featuring, is perhaps the latest. He made his voyage in a collapsible rubber boat, a floppy thing made of rubber and slim Wands. It was so tiny when in its folded state that young Grant took 1t west with him under the lower berth in his sleeper. It slid over and bobbed about where Stur- dier craft have crashed and Van- ished, crew and all. Grant had no companion, although he accom- panied for companionship an expi- ditoin that had heavy-style cqWp- merlt.
