Taxes Burden Railroads Claims and Rates
R C Fulbright of Houston testifies to the Interstate Commerce Commission arguing rate hikes alone won’t fix transportation issues. He says the 31 percent increase sought by Western roads is unnecessary and that the real problem lies in the railroad securities market and investor taxation. He notes heavy surtax and normal tax on railroad securities cut returns to 2 or 3 percent, while municipal bonds and Liberty bonds stay largely tax free. He also cites foreign-owned securities dumping as a factor in market stagnation.
