i the net income of all of the country’s
j roads fell from $1,056,000,000 in 1916
to $510,000,000 in 1919, while their in
vestment was increased more than
$2,000,000,000. Operating expenses,
the roads said, have increased 99.1
per cent since 1916, and revenues
36.37 per cent. Operating expenses,
I it was added, are now 99 per cent of
j the revenues, against 68 per cent in
1916.
Arguing for the increases, the rail
road executives said the one billion
dollars of added revenue was neces
sary if the roads were to handle the
nation’s commerce satisfactorily. They
contended that savings promised by
them could not be effected at once
j because the roads were not returned
to them in the same conditions as
they were taken over and because
of unsolved labor difficulties.
Clifford Thorne, of Chicago, repre
senting shippers, recommended to the
j commission that the roads be unified
! for operation as they were in 1917, de
claring that only in this way could
the roads solve the existing trans
portation problem.
Mr. Thorne also argued that the
rate advances asked were excessive
| as the carriers had not made any pro
vision for more efficient operation or
i for decreases in the cost of malferials.
: He also argued that the companies
j set too high a value on their proper
ties and that they were capitalizing
■ land granted them by federal and
| state governments without cost and
| asking the people to forever pay a
tax on these free gifts.
PASSENGER RATES ON
PACIFIC INCREASED
SYDNEY, Australia, July 22 (by As
sociated Press).—Passenger fares
across the Pacific have been increased
10 per cent. The steamship companies
say the increase is necessary to cover
increased operating costs.
Advertise in the Daily Times
Dr. Alfred H. Brooks, well known
throughout Alaska for his work in
connection with numerous mineral
ir vestigations as a member of the
Alaska Geological Survey parties in
the field for many years is one of
the visiting members of Secretary
Daniels’ party in Alaska, and says:
“I am certainly glad to get back home
and only wish I could go to all parts
of Alaska I want to see, but this will
be impossible this summer.”
Dr. Brooks did not return to the
states with the two secretaries on
board the battleship Idaho, but will
remain in the coast districs to the
westward until eary in September.
Dr. Brooks stated that he would be
occupied all summer studying the
copper fields situated in the Latouche
district and in the Copper river val
ley. He will first go to Latouche where
he will be busy for several weeks,
remain in the coast districts to the
Copper river valley district
It is believed that Dr. Brooks is
making investigations relating to
the advisability of the construction
of a smelter by the government in
Alaska. While he failed to confirm
such a belief, it is a fact that one of
the recommendations of the Inter
Departmental Committee was for de
termining the feasibility of such con
struction.
