THOSE MILEAGE TICKETS.

The Knoxville Tribune has the. follow
ing which indicates a rate war between
two prominent southern roads:
The opposition between the Illinois CEN
trail railroad and the Louisville and Nash
vile for passenger business between
Louisville and New Orleans has reached
almost an acute stage
Recently the Illinois Central began to
sell 1900 mile tickets good on their whole
system south of st. Louis and Ohio river
points. These tickets are sold for $50
apiece, with a rebate of $40 when the
empty covers are returned by the pur-
chaser. This arrangement make the
tickets sell for cents a mile. The
ticket Is similar to one which was issued
by the Chesapeake. Ohio and Southwest
ern some years ago. That road had very
strong pressure brought to bear on it
by other southern roads and the ticket
was Withdrawn.
At the time the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad had q 900 mile ticket which
they sold at S25 without rebate, making
the rate cents and half mile. The
Chesapeake. Ohio and Southwestern put
out a similar ticket, which they sold up
to the time of the change, and which the
Illinois Central had been selling up to
a very recent date.
Prior to the time the Illinois Central
entered Louisville and st. Louis they
had their 1000 mile ticket in use on their
road in the north, but ii was not good
over the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley,
or the main stem of the Illinois Central
south of the river In putting in the
cheaper rate they have simply extended
the policy of the parent road.
The Illinois Central officials say that
the ticket has been taken up very kind
~ by the public. The Louisville and
Nashville officials seem to think that the
illinois Central cannot keep in the rates.
but on the other hand the Illinois Central
people declare that they have put in
the rates to stay. 1t is thought by rail-
road men that the Louisville and Nash
Vile will be compelled to meet the rates
put in by the Illinois Central company.

THE BUILDING AND LOAN BILL.
Which Was Recently Passed By the
Alabama Legislature.

w
Alabama Legislature.
That portion of the public who are ir-
terested in investments in building and
loan associations will be glad to know
that the recent action of the legislature
regarding such associations was entire
ly favorable to their interests. The bill,
which was passed few days since and
which was advocated by the associations
themselves, was in the nature of sub
stitute for all other legislation on this
subject, which has been proposed at the
present session of the legislature. By
this measure it is provided that these as
sociations shall make detailed annual re-
ports which will keep the public thor
oughly posted as to their condition. The
bill, which is now the law, further de-
termines the legality of the premium
and fines charged for loans, and fixes the
rights of stockholders as to Withdrawals.
On the whole the effect of the measure
will be to increase public confidence in
these companies and to place the legal
status of their contracts beyond question.
