Figures on Reduced TrafIic.

The statement OF the Illinois commission
that there has been a general reduction of
passenger business is undoubtedly confirmed
by the statistics. For the whole United States
the number of passengers carried one mile
for each mile of railroad in 1890 was Is. Isl;
in 1855 it was 6s,572. Though the number Of
passengers carried was less, the passenger
car mileage was greater in 1885 than in 1890,
which, of course, increased the cost per pas
senger. In 1890 the total number of miles
run by passenger trains III the United States
was 2S5, ,S04 in 1895 it was 81. 565, SIS. In
1895 the revenues from passenger service in
the United States decreased $50, 103, 1878 as
compared with 1894. though the figures for
1895 include 2,055. miles of road more than
in 1894. The foregoing statements, which are
based upon the most accurate statistics OBJ
tainable, at this time indicate: ]. That at the
present time the average fare charged in Iowa
is less than the actual cost OF transporting the
passenger. 2. That within the last three or
four years passenger earnings have decreased
without corresponding decrease in the cost
of doing the business. Unless changes have
been recently made that have not come to the
notice of the commission the following the
rates prevailing i'll the countries named:
England-First class, AZ cents: second, 81

Receipts and Cost Per Mile.

, FROM the statistics given in the report Of
JUS commission for 1895 it appears the aver
age amount received by the railroads doing
business in Iowa for carrying one passenger
one mile during the year was 227 cents The
returns from which these results are OBJ
tanned dc not include any passengers carried
free. Inc large number of passengers who
rave travelled uron reductions of rates as per-
mltted by our StatuteS-minSters of the Cos
pei, organizations of our military, excursions
on Mondays, special rates to meetings of many
organizations, state and county fairs-are fac
tors that reduce the average fare to the
amount above stated. 1t is obvious, there
fore, that the average must always be lower
the business renders it impossible to make
any rate that will be absolutely uniform. The
Iowa report for 1895 shows only ten roads
which returned the average cost of carrying
one passenger one mile. The average cost of
these companies was PA cents. This result
is less reliable than if it were founded upon
returns made by all the roads, which would
probably increase it. In arriving at the cost
OF carrying one passenger one mile. as above
given, nothing is charged on account OF the
expenses of the railroads for interest, rents,
taxes and miscellaneous fixed charges, and,
OF course. nothing for dividends on stock.
The passenger traffic should, of course, bear
its proportion of these expenses, which con-
stitute part of the cost of doing the business.
From statistics compiled by the interstate
commerce commission it appears that to
charge the passenger business of the rail-
roads with it's proportionate share of the fixed
charges, not including anything, however, on
account of dividends and crediting it with
mail and express earnings, would give us as
the actual cost IS? cents.
