' ^ RAILWAY OPERATING REVENUE: This consists of all revenue received! 9y the railway for transportation V J' M M: including freight, passenger, mail , Express and other allied services. This also includes revenue arising from stor age, demurrage and other activitietincident to the performance of transporta t fion, in fact, all revenue growing opt of the transportation activities of a ranway. ^ RAILWAY OPERATING EXPSNSES are those expenses incurred in con-JJ Ijiection with the performance of trtnaportatioB services, including maintenance * M fixed property, locomotives and «ars, together with the expenses of wages, "•^fuel, material and supplies neceasag? for the movement of traffic, but not in-; eluding taxes or payments for tha use of other companies' equipment an property used jointly. JNET REVENUE FROM RAILWAY OPERATION is the niUway Ing revenue, defined above, less the railway operating expenses. .^ET RAILWAY OPERATING&NCOME is the net revenue from railway Operation less taxes, uncollectibleftrevenue, payments for use of other companies' equipment and facilities mmd jointly. This is the amount which the failway company realises from its transportation activities, and is available for| „fhe payment of rentals of leased lines and interest on indebtedness; the remain * -Her, if any, may be carried to surplas or applied to dividends. JtEASONABLE RETURNS: The Transportation Act requirerthe lnterst# ~ Commerce Commission to ascertaia the value of railway property and name ^ ^reasonable rate o# return upon the same. This rate they have fixed at 5*?% cent. A railroad, whose value has been ascertained by the Commission to be 100 million dollars, and whose *^ne^«aila^4>penting income" is 534 milliont dollars annually, is receiving die reasonable return of 5% pert cent -upon its jproperty, as fixed by the Commission. *The net revorae from railway operation should not be confused with net;** jfailway operating income. The necessity of this is apparent when it is v realized that the net revenue from the railway operation of all Class 1 rail- ^ " Ways in die United States in the year 1922 was $1,144,051,185, while the net railr^^. pWay operating income was but $759,945,517, a difference of $385,105,668.' ^All the railroads in the United States are required by law to make reports under' Ipoath of their activities to the Interstate Commerce Commission, using the terms#;>| r^above which are prescribed by that CommiiskHL These reports are on file in, ' %' i^the Commissaon^s offices at Washington, and are available to the public.
