Increase in earnings shown by railways

Director J H Patrmalee notes 1922 net operating incomes rose by 145 million dollars while operating expenses fell by 140 million. Forty rail systems earned above the 6 percent standard set by the transportation act, yet none of the excess earnings were paid to the Federal treasury. In 1921 Americans paid railroads over 5.5 billion, nearly twice the federal government’s total outlay.
