Facts Relating To Railroads
RAILWAYS—A NATIONAL ASSET: ffhe United States is the wealthiest nation
in the world today. It contains 5 4-10 per cent of the land area of the world: 6 1-10
per cent of the population of the world, and 30 per cent of the railways of'the world,
or 250 555 miles. The railways are one of the nation’s greatest assets. They provide
transportation which is the basis of commerce and the means whereby exchange of pro
ducts is accomplished. For each person in the United States in 1900 there was trans
ported 8 tons of freight. For each person in 1920, 12 tons. The increasing cost of
living is really the cost of better living.
VALUE OF TRANSPORTATION: Transportation is the measure of civilization.
History confirms this statement. Production without transportation must be very
limited und if so limited would have greatly retarded the progress of civilization.
Transportation increases the worth of all property it serves. Prdperty values are largely
determined by the ability of the property to produce and the owner’s oplportunity to dis
pose of the products at a profit. The value of all farm property in the United States
increased from twenty and one-half billion dollars in the year 1900 to seventy-eight
billion dollars in the year 1920, und the value of all farm products, at the same time, in
creased from five billion dollars to twenty billion dollars. This is due in part to adequate
transportation.
INCREASE OF MANUFACTURES: Production is the measure of human effi
ciency and human progress. There is no limit to the amount of wealth that may be
created except the limitation of production. The purchasing power of an individual
community or nation lies in its power of production. Manufactured products in the
United States increased from a value of eleven and one-half billion dollars in the year
1899 to sixty-two and one-half billion dollars in the year 1919. Transpartation con
tributed substantially to this development by affording an easy method of exchange.
PROGRESS OF UNITED STATES: The total wealth of the United States has in
creased in the twenty-year period, from 1900 to 1920, two hundred ninety-five per cent,
During the same period farm values in the United States have increased two hundred
eighty-one per cent. Investments in manufacturing industries have increased three
hundred ninety-eight per cent. Investments in railroads in the United States have in
creased ninety-three per cent. The expanding commerce of the country requires an ex
pansion of railroad facilities and equipment. It is clear that railroad development has
not kept pace with the growing commerce. A new era of expansion is necessary.
ADEQUATE RETURNS: The railroads in the United States increased their in
vestment in locomotives, cars, yards, terminals and other railway property, in the ten
years ended December 31, 1922, by more than five billion four hundred million dollars.
The income they received in the year 1922 was eleven million dollars less than in
the year 1913. being a smaller income from a substantially increased investment. In
vestor* cannot prudently place their money in an industry which does not yield a rea
sonable rate of interest! An expanding commerce requires continued investment. It
is clear that investments in railroads in the United States must be made more attractive
and secure.
REASONABLE RATES: Railroad rates to be just and reasonable must, among
other things, be sufficient to meet the cost of wages, materials and fuel, taxes and the
interest on capital. No one expects a person to sell his wares at less than cost and all
agree to a fair margin for the use of capital. The railraods should receive the same
consideration, in order to render efficient service which is always our purpose.
