Show Page Role of Railroads In The Gathering Transportation Storm The passenger picture darkened even more, with 19G0 passenger-mile- s equaling only of the 1946 total. The industrys financial showing has reflected this. In the year ending last May 31, railroad net income was less than a third of that earned in 1955 confronting the industry with the gravest financial crisis since the Depression of the 1930s, according to the booklet. Railroad troubles certainly aren't due to an unwillingness within the industry to improve its plant and services. In the postwar period they have spent more than $16 billion in capital improve-morefficient and productive ments, and operations are far than ever before. Now, of course, capital spending cutbacks have become unavoidable. It is estimated that the industrys 1961 investment outlays will be $745 million less than in 1957, and spending for fuel and other operating needs will also show a heavy decline. The depressing effect that has on the economy, including employment within and without the industry, is obvious. Gathering Transportation Storm is the title of a booklet just issued by the Association of American Railroads. It goes into graphic detail concerning the causes of the storm, its impact on the nation, and the cure. And The- - one-thir- this is an urgent matter in an era in which commercial transportation, of which railroads make up the hard and irreplaceable core, is of importance. The railroads1 role in the daily life of the country is enormous, it is pointed out by the Industrial News Review. Last year, despite the heavy inroads made by competitors, they carried 44 per cent of all intercity freight traffic. They had 780,000 employes, accounted for a payroll of $5 billion, spent $2.5 billion for equipment and supplies, and their tax bill came to a round $1 billion. And, in the event of war, their role expands tremendously. In World War II, for instance, they accounted for 97 per cent of all organized troop movements within the country, along with 90 per cent of all the military freight traffic. A Sorry Affair But recent history, from the railroad point of view, has been a sorry affair. As an example, they carried 4 per cent less freight in 1900 than in 1940, while in the same period the volume handled by trucks increased more than times and that on rivers and canals more than 4 times. ever-increasin- g d e Inequities In Regulation One, and a big one, is inequities in transport regulation. The railroads are 100 per cent regulated. But truck s traffic is unregulated, and inland waterway s traffic is unregulated.

This program, the booklet also emphasizes, would to freedoms provide important the public among them freedom to enjoy the most and most efficient , lowest-cos- t streamlined transpo r t a t i o q service possible from all carriers, including the railroads. What has caused all this? There are a number of answers, as the booklet points high-leve- out. Chambers of Commerce are often represented as being products of the present century. In point of fact the idea was borrowed from Europe and the first American Chamber of Commerce predates the Constitution and was organized in 1768. Today, there are more than 4,000 Chambers of Commerce in the United States. In these nearly 200 years, Chambers of Commerce have steadily developed to a high point of efficiency and have proved vitally important in business and civic development throughout the nation. their treatment of the competing carriers. The Four Freedoms What, then, is the solution? In general terms, it is found in a railroad-proposeMagna FreeFour Carta, stressing doms: Freedom From Discriminatory Regulation; Freedom From Discriminatory Taxation; Freedom From Subsidized Competition, and Freedom To Diversify.

At the same time, government spending for rights-of-wa-y used by their competitors highways, airways, waterways has soared. Railroads carry a cruel and disproportionate tax load. In relation to each dollar of revenue, in 1959 they paid to state and local governments nearly 3 times as much as bus lines, 9 times as much as water carriers, 10 times as much as truck lines, and 14 times as much as air lines. Railroad depreciation allowances for tax purposes are inadequate. Equipment used by their competitors has far shorter taxable lives. So the story goes. And no one need take the railroads word for its veracity. In l recent years, six studies have been made of the problem by various government agencies. All have concluded that government transportation policies are seriously unbalanced, uncoordinated, and unequal in SUMMONS TIMMER- a number of goals, including and maintain their own rights Want Ads Probate-Guardiansh- Friday, October 6, SOUTH SALT LAKE HERALD 4 City Court of Salt Lake City t'nuntv of Salt Lake, State of Utah HILTON P.
