Number 51 A National Storm Signal (Continued from Page One) nity and every business. The fact that 1970 was the worst year for the railroads financially since the Great Depression of the 1930s should be viewed in no other way than as a national storm signal. For this reason, proposals and overtaxation, to free the railroads of along with other recommendatoins to restore their economic strength, are matters of the most direct public interest. Among these other measures are some that will cost the taxpayers money in the short run, but will save them a great deal of money in the long run. These measures have been set forth in the Report, of Americas Sound Transportation Review Organization. They include recommendations for the establishment of a single transportatio ntrust fund which could be drawn on for modernization programs. The railroads would be expected to make an appropriate contribution to the fund. Additional proposals include a government guarantee of up to $400 million annually in loans for improvements to rights of way and elimination of state and local property taxes on railroad property used for transportation since there are none on competitors facilities. Taxes lost would be made up by tax sharing with state and local governover-regulati- on ments. The Report of the study group recommends other steps that would enable the railroads to achieve economic recovery, pay their own way and move into the main- stream of the overall transportation system where they are needed by the nation.
