Why it takes 6% to make the grade...
Impartial research pollsshowthat,onthe
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 rail
roads earned only . . . 2 %. This is
less than one-half the comparable earn
ings for other industries.
The reasons for this low return are
not hard to find. Since 1939 railroad
wages have increased 52 6 /io % and the
prices of fuel, materials and supplies
have gone up 61 6 /io%.
But freight rates have just recently
been increased an average of only
17 6 /io%—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 be
cause of mass production. But mass
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 modem safety devices, a
minimum return of 6% is needed.
So when the railroads make only 2*f
cents on each $1.00 of their net prop
erty investment, it concerns you.*
The funds for future new equipment
and improvements must come from rail
road earnings and also from investors.
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 rail
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 matteu which are impor
tant to everybody.
