Last year, the American railroads as a whole earned
1 return of only 2% per cent on the money invested in their
property.
This year ? with recent freight rate increases and current
wage and material costs ?the return is expected to be not
more than 3 per cent, which is only half the 6 per cent return
that the U. S. Supreme Court has said time and again is "fair
and reasonable" for public utilities.
On?*' r nancially-strong railroads can provide the efficient,
econoio mass transportation service so essential to the
growth and prosperity of the nation.
