WELLINGTON, O., APRIL s, 1896.

The report Of the commissioner Of
railroads for 1895, shows that an unusal
number Of lines have passed into the
hands of receivers. 1t would seem that
in many instances this could be
avoided. The first reduction in expenses
might take place is the reducing the
number of officers and special agents,
and then to cut the salaries one-half the
amount now paid. 1t is said that NJ. E.
ingalls,, president of the Big -Four, re-
cieves the enormous sum of $4,000 an
nually, an amount equal to the salary Of
the president of the United. States, just
for looking after 1856 miles of railroad.
The subOrdinates to the president are
paid salaries far above those which the
earnings Of company warrant, The next
reduction is in the reduction of the eX-
pense in coaches. A great deal less
money could be expended in this way and
the public would be just as well salts
fed. Now the country is full of
men that would jump at the chance to
preside over the entire line for $1,000
per year and perhaps do it far better
than Mr. Ingalls,. The same thing may
be said of the subOrdinates. Abridge
the system Of keeping accounts and dis
miss One-half or mort of the officers and
special agents, and companies that are
now bankrupt would soon pay dividends
The employees along the line, although
they work seven days in week and even
ings, as a rule are not paid what they
Should be.

give the customer more than
