THE ICATY'S YOUR,. RAILROAD
Where Katy
Dollars Go
‘OST of the money paid to a rail-
road for transportation service
stays in the territory in which
the service is performed. Operating ex-
penses and taxes alone consume more
than 80 cents of each dollar received by
American railroads in revenue.
With «ne exception, every element, considered
under the law in fixing railroad rates, ib from fifty
to two hundred per cent higher than in IS 16. Re-
turn on Investment—or railroad profit—is the
■ingle exception; wages, fuel, material costs and
taxes are all tremendously increased. The ne-
cessity for increased rates, therefote, grows out
of increased railroad expenses, rather than in-
creased profits.
In 1923, the Katy expended more than 30 CENTS
of each revenue dollar for MAINTKNANCK of
the railroad in safe and efficient condition. Wages
conaumed nearly 45 CENTS; FUEL 7^ CENTS
and TAXES 4CENTS of each revenue dollar.
These items alone consumed approximately 86
CENTS of each dollar of revenue.
Katy taxes for 1923 consumed all tho revenue
the railroad received for handling the U. S. mail
and approximately 60 per cent of all its earning3
from express in addition. The total revenue for
handling mail for the year, barely covered the
Increase in the railroad’s taxes since 1915.
The M-K-T Lines represent a property invest-
ment, recognized by the Interstate Commur*
Commission, of more than $60,000 per mile. In
1923, Katy earnings for interest and dividends,
after payment of expenses end taxes, were approx-
imately $7.36 a day per mile on this invest-
ment. The Katy is proud of its service to the
Southwest; most enterprises
with like investment enjoy
greater net income.
Building the
Southwest
"’'THE M-K-T, the pioneer railroad
in its territory, provides a trans-
- portation service essential to the
continued growth of the Southwest. It
is the ONLY railroad serving all the
more important centers in Oklahoma and
Texas from both St. Louis and Kansas
City. BUT, the Katy’s DISTINCTIVE place r.s
u DISTINCTIVELY Southwestern institution is
dependent upon factors related to its mainte-
nance und increasing investment as well as upon .
its service.
The Katy has put more into the Southwest *
than it ha* taken out. The revenues received by
tho Knty fnr transportation service have remained
in tho Southwest in the form of wages, operating
coats, rents, taxes and additional investment to
improve its service.
Growing with the Southwest, the Katy, in the
past thirty years, has invested approximately*
$125,000,000 in NEW capital. This new capital,
plus operating expenses, taxes and rents, exceeds
the operating revenues the railroad has received
for service performed.
Without tho aid of huge sums of NEW capital,
the Katy would find it impossible to render the
efficient and modern service the Southwest now
enjoys, the margin between earnings and expenses
having been uniformly too small to provide di-
rectly for ths tremendous development required.
Tho Katy’s contribution to Southwestern
growth consists of constant improvement of its
service and equipment The railroad profits with
the Southwest, NOT from the So thwest. It
must he vo public understanding and cooperation
in maintaining a fair margin between earn-
ings and expanses, otherwise it cannot pro-
vide adequate transportation,
or keep pace with the growth
of its territory.
