The Affairs of the Subsidized Rauro.a.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September IL
Assistant Secretary jerks of the Interior
Department is devotiug considerable at
IGNITION to the affairs of the subsidized
Pacific Railroads. A single annual re-
port, in his opinion, Is inadequate for
supplying the department with full and
comprehensive particulars of the finan.
ciai condition of the roads. Quarterly
reports, he says, should be made, show
Ing not only the earnings and expendi-
lures of the roads, but also the amount
OF rolling stock and other property be-
longing to the road.
