Illinois Central System Shows That Railroads Must Borrow Money for Improvements \ Some persons may have a mistaken idea about, the financial condition of the railroads because of the large sums of money spent recently for improved railway facilities. In the last five years the railroads have installed 9,979 new locomotives, 8,988 new passenger cars and 584,982 new freight cars and have made other improvements to their properties at great expense. Anyone not familiar with how these improvements arc financed might take thcnTas indicating that the railroads are immensely prosperous. I Such, however, Is not the case. What the railroads have left out of their revenues after meeting their current obligations is far from sufficient to pay for all the improvements they need to make. In 1924 the railroads of the country spent more than one billion dollars for property improvements. The Illinois Central System alone spent approximately $29,0C JO for these purposes. In both cases the expenditures for improvements required the investment of considerable new capital. The railroads had to raise largo sums of money from investors in order to finance this expansion. Asa result of economies of operation made possible partly by their Investment in improved properties, the railroads as a whole have effected in recent years a substantial improvement in net earnings. In 1921 the rate earned on the tentative valuation placed upon their properties by the Interstate Commerce Commission for rate-making purposes was 3.33 per cent; in 1922 it was 4.14 per cent; in 1923 it was 5.22 per cent; in 1924 it was 5.00 per cent. But it should be home in mind that the rate of return has not at any time reached the 6.75 per cent which the Interstate Commerce Commission has decided is the fair and reasonable rate that the railroads ought to be permitted to cam. The present outlook, all things considered, is decidedly favorable to continued good railway service. The facilities of the railroads arc sufficient for present needs and arc being expanded to meet the increased needs of the future. By means of their increased facilities the railroads are realizing greater economies and providing better service than ever before. The public, by reason of its closer acquaintance with the railroads and improved understanding of railway problems, looks with favor upon allowing the railroads (he earnings necessary to attract the new investment they need. This is as it should be. The country requires adequate transportation for its continued growth and prosperity, snd adequate transportation cannot be provided except, as the railroads are enabled to grow and prosper. Service is the standard by which railroads can and should be judged. The Illinois Central System is constantly endeavoring to uphold and improve its service to the public. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. C. H. MARKHAM. President, Illinois Central System.
