Toledo closl ON THE OF VALUATION EARN? 7, ""en as iu'y? as any 9th 695 one DOLLAR CENTS If a business worth $10,000 earned $500 net Income (or $41 a mon'h), would it be considered an unreasonable profit and proof that Its prices were too high? Tbe railroads are In tha. situation today. The 1923 net return for the whole country was less than 5 per cent. As of December 31, 1919, the Interstate. Commerce Commission gave to tha railroads a tentative ya1. uation of $18,900,000,000. With actual figures for 1920, 1921, 1922, and with 1923 conservatively estimated as $1, 100,000,000, there has been Invested in the railroads since this tentative valuaton a net amount of $2. 371,683, 000. making the value as of December 31, 1923, $21,271,583,000. On this amount the Railroads in 10,23 earned an aggregate net Income of approximately $997,610,000, or 4.69 per cent. The Government guarantee of earning expired August 31 1920. If this guarantee had been continued as repeatedly but erroneously claimed the Government would owe the railroads more than a billion dollars. Last year the roads handled a record volume of business but could not earn the fair return of 5 4 per cent to which the Interstate Commerce Commission, under the Transport, aton Act, has found they are entitled. It the roads rannot earn 6 4 per cent In a big year, what will they do in a small year. The Transportation Act probldes that If a road In any year earns more than 6 per cent it shall pay of the excess to the Government. The Act is .therefore, a limitation rather than a guarantee. C;ivp Trnnsporlutlon Act Fair Trial The Transportation Act provides that if a road in any year ' merits judged by the results of a normal period of reason, able length. The year 1923 was the firtt since the war under conditions approaching stabilization. What the railroad situation demand Just now Is not more law but more confidence. The railroads Lave emerged from i the wel'er of the war, restored their morale, made enormous Investments of new money, and In 19 23 handled a peak bus. Iness with universal satisfaction. The Transportation Act Is he only really constructive rail, road legislation of a generation. Previous acts were solely In framing the A: t the public In'erest was para, repressive mount. The Act directs the Interstate Commerce Commlss. Ion to "glva due consideration to transportation needs of the country and the necessity of enlarging railway facilities In order to provide the people ot tbe United States with ade. quale transportation." Give the Act a chance. Don't amend ! If the roads are let alone theyshould make an good a record for efficiency this year as last. Constructive suggestions are alway welcome. in a year WIL I yi5 standard FIVE TOO MUCH TO ' KNIGHT Paying for His Sin. negro minister discovered two of his parishioners playing cards on a Sunday and for money.
