EPURE r
states have a two cent passenger rate
and whatever loss is Incurred is recov-
ered through freight revenue. The jus
tice of such a procedure was recently
passed upon by the Supreme Court
of West Virginia and the decision is
so far-reaching that we have asked
L E. Johnson, president of the Nor-
folk and Western Railway whose road
contested the case to briefly review
the, suit. Hr, Johnson said in part:
"Some ten years ago, passenger
fares were fixed by the legislatures
of a large number of states at two
cents a mile. As a basis for such
economic legislation, no examination
was made of the cost of doing the
business so regulated, nor was any
attention given to the fact whether
such a rate would yield to the rail-
way companies an adequate or any
net return upon the capital Invested
in conducting this class of business.
"Such a law was passed in West
Virginia In 1907 The Norfolk and
Western Railway Company put the
rate into effect and maintained It for
two years. Its accounting during
these two years showed that two
cents a mile per passenger barely
paid the out-of-pocket coht and noth-
ing was left to pay any return on
capital invested It sought relief from
the courts. Expert accountants for

both the State and the Railway Com
pany testified that the claims of the
railroad were sustained by the facts. |
Two cents did not pay the cost of
carrying a passenger a mile. The
State, however, contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus:
on its state freight business to give a
fair return upon the capital used in
its passenger as well as its freight I
business. For the purposes of the
case, the railroad did not deny this, 1
but held to its contention that the
State could not segregate its pas-
senger business for rate fixing with j
out allowing a rate that would be
sufficient to pay the coat of doing'
business and enough to give some ।
return upon the capital invested in {
doing the business regulated. ‘ This
was the issue presented to the 8u-1
preme Court. Its decision responds'
to the judgment of the fair-minded,
sentiment of the country. The Su
preme Court says that, even though
a railroad earns a surplus on a par
ticular commodity by charging rea- ■
sonable rates, that affords no reason
for compelling it to haul another's
person or property, for less than cost.
The surplus from a refisonable rate
properly belongs to the railway com-
pany. If the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced. The State may ;
not even up by requiring the railroad
to carry other traffic for nothing or
for less than cost.
The decision is a wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules of fair dealing apply to railway
companies. The fact that one makes
a surplus on his wheat crop would
neverebe urged as a reason for com
pelling him to sell his cotton at less •
than cost. It would not satisfy the
man who wanted bread to be told
that Its high price enabled the cotton
manufacturer to get his raw product 1
for less than cost. In this cse the !
court reaffirmed the homely maxim
that each tub must stand upon Its
own bottom.”
