chickens, etc, or what have you? We
will Rive you the prevailing market

Some Railroad Facts
Where Do
They Go?
1
(An Editorial Rrprintrd hy Permission 1
From The South Bend Nru'i>Tim?. J
Taxes paid by highway freight carriers in the
form of gasoline cxciscs and luer.se fees are ex
pended chiefly for what?
For maintaining the highways over which these
freight carriers pass and for constructing new ones.
Taxes paid hy the railroads ? they average near
ly $1,600 yearly for every mile of track ? go for
what? Maintenance of the railroad lines? Not
at all. Maintenance of the governments that
maintain highway freight lines for competition
with the railroads.
Maintaining a mile of railroad for a year costs
about $3,500. Who pays that? The taxpayers?
Oh, no; the taxpayers piy for maintaining the
roadbed for the motor trucks; the railroads pay
for their own maintenance and also for a share
of the maintenance of their competitors.
Part of the revenue of the railroads comes from
hauling the mails. The Federal Government iJ
subsidizing a competitive form of mail transport,
the airmail, by paying 105 times as much per
pound as it pays the railroads.
Why should anybody care whether the people
kill the railroads by supporting fine highways for
freight transport and restricting the railroads in
their operations, preventing them from operating
on the highways?
Because it is not good for the people to have
railroads in a perilous financial position and likely
to default on their bonds. But some one answers,
few people own railroad bonds. Quite true; Dut
the life insurance companies own them, and many
people have bought life insurance policies and
expect the companies to be ready to pay death
claims in full and to meet cash surrender and
loan demands.
Many savings banks, especially the large eastern
mutuals, are heavy investors in railroad securities.
Federal state aid for roads at the rate of $125,*
000,000 a year comes out of the pockets of the
taxpayers, much of it from the railroads; and is
used for building up a competitor to the railroad
?the highway freight and passenger line.
Is the whole thing unfair and dangerous? It
is unfair and economically perilous. It is suicidal.
Let it alone a few years, and the railroads will be
whipped.
Can anything be done? Certainly something
can be done. That is what we have a Congress
for, and a President to advise and suggest. |
