CLOSE MARGIN OF PROFIT
IN OPERATION OF RAILWAY
.arge Amount Of Capital Risked for
Very Small Returns
,OF VITAL INTEREST TO PUBLIC
Investors Will Not Provide Money for
Improvements. Unless They Are
Assured a Reasonable Profit
on Their Investment'
Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.)-The close
4. nargin of profit for a railroad under
ipresent conditions is strikingly shown
sby figures submitted by President Har
rison in the annual report of South.
ern Railway Company for the Ilacal
year ended June 30th, 1916. Ia the
most prosperous year of the Compa
,y's history the net operating income
($21,004,005.09) represented only 5.31
Vper cent on the Investment ($395,722,.
785.06) in the railroad and equipment
'which produced it.
"It may perhaps be said," said Mr.
Harrison, "that there Is no industry ex
cept a railroad in which so large a
capital is risked for such a return in
Its most successful year."
At a time when the newspapers dal
1y are printing articles in regard to
increasing railroad gross earnings, as
indicating a rising tide of general
prosperity, it Is well to bear in mind
the very small return on money in.
vested in railroad property.
Many persons are misled into believ
ing that the railroads are fabulously
prosperous by the mcre size of the fig
-ures in which the earnings of large
railroads are expressed, but it should
be remembered that an enormous sum
of money was required to construct
and equip their plants and that the
return on each dollar invested is rela
tively small.
it is manifestly in the interest of
the employees of a railroad and of
the public served that the railroad
secure new capital for addition's and
improvements to its llant so that it
may give better service and offer en
Jarged employment. However, this
can be acccmplished only by allowing
the railroad to earn an amount on
the capital already invested sufficient
to promise a return'on the additional
capital desired.
Governmental agencies may depress
rates and enact restrictive legislation
which will deprive the man who has
already invested in railroads of a fair
return on his investment, but no plan
bas been devised for forcing the man
with money in the bank to put it
Into railroad construction or improve
ment. Unless the investment appears
attractive to him and offers a fair:
return he will put his money in some
enterprise that cannot be affected by
.governmental agencies.
Every employee of the Southern
.Railway and every shipper served by
ijt who recognizes his true Interest will
'do what he can to insure such a re
turn on the capital now invested in
the Southern Railway as will make the
securities of the Company more at-I
tractive to Investors, so the Company
will be able to secure the additional
capital needed to carry on a consist
ently constructive program which wvill
mean increased prosperity for every
interest in the territory served by it.
