What do you think they should make?

The public thinks 10 would be fair

What are the facts? , Actually the railroads earned , only 2 V in 1946. ' To provide the service you want, railroads need to earn at least 6. But estimates indicate that even with the recent freight rate increase, the return for 1947 will be only about half that requirement

Why it takes B to make the grade . . .

Impartial research polls show that, on . the average, people think we make 15. They also think a fair return would be 10. - ; ' What We Make ' But for the year 1946, with the biggest-peace-time traffic in history, the railroads earned only . . . 2SA . This is less than one-half the comparable earnings for other industries. I'j The reasons for this low return are I. not hard to find. Since 1939 railroad J wages have increased 526io and the ' prices" of fuel, materials and supplies have gone up 616io . . ' But freight rates have just recently been increased an average of only , 176io a year after the effective date , ; of the last big wage increase. ; ; ' What About This Year? It is estimated that the return for 1947,

even with the recent freight rate in-

crease, will be only about half the 6 minimum return required to provide the improvements and service needed. This will be because of increased costs of materials and supplies; because cer

tain wage increases granted in 1946 were in effect for only part of 1946 but will be in effect for all of 1947; because of increased special payroll taxes on : railroads; and because of a decline in passenger business. ' What Does This Mean To You The answer is "Plenty!" Your standard of living is the highest in the world because of MASS production. But mas3 production would not be possible with- , out MASS TRANSPORTATION Which the - railroads provide at low cost. '.. : ''? . '. Why 6 Is Needed : ; The kind of service your standard of , living requires takes a lot of money for new equipment and improvements. To carry out the post-war improvement program for better equipment, tracks, terminals and modern safety devices, a minimum return of 6 is needed.

So when the railroads make only 2H cents on each $1.00 of their net property investment, it concerns you. The funds for future new equipment and improvements must come from railroad earnings and also from inves- . tors. They will furnish money on reasonable terms only if they have confidence in the future earnings of the railroads. You Have Another Stake In This Even if you do not own any railroad stocks or bonds,' insurance: companies and savings banks do.- So you still have ; a special interest in seeing that the railT roads are allowed enough to do a good job ... for you. We are publishing this and other advertisements to talk with you at first : hand about matters which are important to everybody. '; V.. '' '.- ' On total property Bnvestment, the railroads made only 2.19.
