Chairman Robinson Of the Republi-

was very much vexed when majority
Of the committee decided to bottle up
It's sentiments and opinions on public
questions. He said that this was a
display Of cowsrdice, and he added:

to meet, elect q president, and hold q

What Wealth HaS Escaped,
Abilene, Kas.

The overflow of the income tax by
the money power is nothing new. It
is only a continuation Of the success.
full efforts of wealth TO escape federal
taxation ever since the end of the
war.
In 1866, the year after the close of
the great struggle, there was collected
236 million dollars from internal taxes
that were within less than ten years
nearly all repealed. These were taxes,
for the most part, upon wealth
that is, they were levied upon those
who had greater ability to pay. There
were taxes upon incomes, upon banks,
upon sales, gross receipts and dlvi-
dends, upon legacies, distributlve
shares and SUGGESTIONS, together with
stamp duties.
One by one all these taxes were re-
pesled. Corporations and rich men
employed the lobby at Washington to
help them escape taxation. They
elected men to congress to secure the
repeal Of these laws, until in 1874 only
10 million dollars of these taxes re-
mained. Ten years later every Vegtige
Of internal taxation upon wealth was
gone, and only taxes upon universal
consumptiOn-whisky, beer, tobacco,
etc. - remained.
Wealth had escaped.
1t was not because the expenses on
war account had diminished that these
war taxes were repealed. In 1866 the
the interest on the war debt and the
pensions, the continuing war expenses,
called for 148 million dollars. In 1876
they required 1872 million dollars. But
last year they demanded 1863 million
dollars. In other words, the increased
cost Of pensions has outrun the reduc-
tions on interest account. In 1875 the
interest charge was 10S million dollars
and the pension cost 20 million dollars.
Last year the interest charge was q
million dollars and the pension list
cost l4l million dollars.
These figures show that while ex-
penses on war account have increased
36 million dollars In twenty years,
every internsl-reVenue tax on wealth
originally laid to meet them has been
abolished. The whole burden Of gov

MILEAGE.
"The total railway mileage in the
United States on June 30, 1894, was
178,708.55, an increase during the year
of 2,247.48 miles. The increase during
the previous year was 4,897.55 miles.
The percentage of increase in 1894 was
less than for any preceding year for
which reports have been made to the
commission, and it is not probable that
the year ending June 30, 1895, will
show much improvement.
CAPITALIZATION AND VALUATION.
''The total amount of reported rail
way capital on June 80, 1894 was $1O,-
796,47S,81S, or $62,951 per mile of line.
This is an increase in the amount out.
standing during the year of $3.50, 1885,
4OS. The amount of capital stock was
$4,834, ,075,659, of which $4, ,1OS, ,584, 1876
was common stock, and $3.50, 49l, ,493
was preferred stock. The funded debt
was $5,S56, ,583'O19, classified as fol-
lows: bonds, $4,593, ,9Sl, ,754; miscel.
laneouS obligations, 1856, ,277, $3.50; in
come bonds, $242, ,4O3, ,681, and equip
ment trust obligations, $63, ,970, ,2O4.
The amount Of current liabilities was
$605, 1851 The amount of railway
securities held by the railways as an
investment was 1854, ,058, $40, a de-
crease during the year Of $18, 1868, ,563.
'tThe amount Of stock paying no
dividend was $3,O66, ,15OO94, or 63.43
per cent. of the total amount. Of the
stock paying dividends, 4.31 per cent.
Of the total stock paid from 4 to 5 per
cent; 1912 per cent. paid from 5 to 6
per cent; 5.12 per cent. paid from to Z
per cent; and 5.42 per cent. paid from Z
to per cent. The total amount of
dividends was 1896, SIS, ,976, or an aver
age rate on on the dividend paying
stock of 5.41 per cent. The amount of
bonds paying no interest was $3.50, ,573,-
789, or 14.17 per cent. The amount of
miscellaneous obligations paying o
interest was $53, ,426,264, or ILL per
cent. ,and the amount of income bonds
paying no interest was $2lO, ,757, ,554 or
1854 per cent.
PUCLIC SERVICE.
"The number of passengers carried !
was 619, 1888, ,199, an increase over the
previous year of rs, ,127,587. This in
crease is almost wholly in Groups |
III. and vi. and was occa-
stoned by the Worlds Fair travel.
The passenger mileage was Il, ,289, 49,
1893. The average number Of passen-
gers In a train was A, and the average
distance travelled by each passenger |
was 23.O6 miles. The passenger mile
age per mile of line, which indicates |
the density Of passenger traffic, was |
81 1888, a slight decrease as compared
with the previous report. There was
a large decrease in freight traffic, the |
number of tons carried being 6S8, 1885, |

and 1852 per cent. The net earnings
were $341, ,947, ,475, decrease Of $780,.
1883, 100 as compared with the previous
year. The income derived from sour
Ces outside Of operations was $l42,
8l6,8O5. The amount Of fixed charges,
and other deductions from income
was $429, ,OO8, $40, leaving net income
Of $55, 755, ,970, available for dividends,
a decrease as compared with the pre-
vious year of nearly 5000 per cent,
The amount Of dividends paid was
$95, SIS, ,976, a decrease Of only $685.
800, from the amount paid the pre-.
Vlous year. The fact that ne arly the
normal amount Of dividends was paid
notwithstanding the great decrease in
incomes available for them, and that
the payment of the amount stated en-
tailed a deficit from the operations Of
the year of $45,9l2,O44, is suggestive.
The revenue derived from carrying
of psssengs was 1886, ,949,558, or 1858
per cent. of gross earnings, and the
revenue derived from freight traffic
was $685., 1913, or 65.16 per cent. Of
gross earnings.
ACCIDENTS.
"During the year 1898 railway en-
ployes were killed and %, ,422 were in
jured, as compared with 2,727 killed
and S1,729 injured in 1893. This
marked decrease in casualty is in part
due to the decrease in the number of
men employed, and the decrease in the
volume Of business handled. The in
creased use of automatic appliances on
railway equipment also may have rem
dered railway employment less dan
gerous and it may be that the grade Of
efficiency Of employees has been raised.
"The number of passengers killed
was 324, an increase Of twenty Ave, and
the number injured was 1904 de-
crease of 1876. OF the total number Of
fatal casualties to railway employees,
25l were due to coupling and uncoup-
ling cars, 439 to falling from trains
and engines, so to overhead obstruc.
tions, 145 to collisions, 108 to dersil-
ments, and the balance to various
other causes not easily classified. To
show the ratio of casualty, 1t may be
stated that one employe was killed
out of every 428 in service, and one in
jured out of every 80 employed. The
trainmen perform the most dangerous
service, one out of every 1856 employed
having been killed and one out of
every twelve having been injured.
"The ratio Of casualty to passengers
is in striking contrast to that Of rail-
way employees, one passenger having
been killed out of each 1,912,618 car
ried, or for each "A, 1O3, ,228 miles tray.
eled, and one injured out of each 204,-
248 carried, or for each 4,709,7 miles
Travelled. A distribution of accidents to
the territorial groups exhibits the di-
versity in the relative safety of railway
and Of railway travel in
the diffent sections of the country"
