SINGLE TAX AND TRAMPs.
Rev. Mr.. Dugan Lays Them Both on
the Griddle

Rev. w. E.. Dugan. in sermon
preached last night at the Stewart Me-
mortal Second United PRESBYTERIAN
Church on Guerrero and Twenty-third
streets, touched upon political bosses -
His text was taken from Matt. xvii:I4
In part he said:
"As Peter. being, on the Mount of Trans
figuration. came down to the multitl,des
so the political bosses, pretending to come
from the Mount of TRANSPORTATION in
political things, are bringing us schemes
and theories as TO how we should vote
in order to drive the evil from our lives.
but do you all understand what tho
"single-tax' means? 1t means a revolu-
ton of our social and financial systems.
1t means a different foundation for our
Government. But whether such a change
would be for better or worse l want YOU.
as intelligent voters. to post yourselves
by reading good authorities for and
against the single-tax system.
"A subject that should be taken up by
our political parties is the subject of
tramps, this great horde in our land who
seem to think that respectable people
were created for their special benefit.
These are the social nuisance in the world
to-day-more threatening than the liquor
traffic. Begging has become paying pro-
fession with them because of peoples
generosity. 1 want political platform
which proposes to gather these men up
and make them do public service on our
streets and in our parks"

SOME RAILWAY STATISTICS.
One Passenger Must Be Carried Five
Miles to Earn a Cent

Railway Age: Last year the rail-
ways OF the United States carried over
$1,000. 000, 600 passengers one mile. They
also carried s., 000, 000, 900 tons of freight
one mile.
The total amount paid in dividends on
stock was S87, 633, 371-can it $SS, 900, 900.
OF the total earnings of the railways
about 20 per cent came from freight
service and 80 per cent from passenger
service Let US assume, then, that of
the $88,000,000 paid in dividends, 20 per
cent, or $61. 000. 900, was profit on freight
service and $26. 400 600 was profit on
passenger service. Let us drop fractions
and call it $50. 0O0, coo from freight and
$26,000,0C0 from passengers. By divid-
ing the passenger profit into the num-
Der of passengers carried Ga, 900, 900, GOOD
we find that the railways had to carry
a passenger 500 miles in order to earn
81 profit, or five miles to earn 1 cent.
Their average profit, therefore, was less
than twO-tenths of 1 cent for carrying
a passenger land his baggage one mile.
By dividing the freight profit into the
freight mileage $4,000 ,000, 000) we find
that the railways had to carry one ton
of freight I, $50 miles in order to earn 81.
or over Is miles to earn 1 cent. The av-
erage profit, therefore, was less than
one-fifteenth of a cent for carrying a
ton of freight (besides loading and I'M
loading it) one mile

Gives Notice to Railroads That

Newton Gets Two More Daily
TrainS-NOW Has "A.

Chicago, May 3.-The rate to be made
by the railroads for the transportation
of troops during the war with Spain
will be 1 cent per mile. The roads had
decided that it would be double that,
but the government has formed a diff
ferent opinion, and the chances seem
to be that the opinion of the govern
ment will prevail.
Today the roads received from Wash
1ngton information to the effect that
the government officials did not think
that in the present war they should be
called upon to pay more for the trans
portation of troops than during the civ
IL war and that it would not therefore
pay over cent per mile, which was the
rate made for such traffic between 1861
and 1865. The roads were given to I'M
derstand that the government was de-
sirous that they should make the rate
of their own free will, but that in any
event it would not pay over 1 cent. The
matter will be discussed at a joint
meeting of the eastern and western
lines, which is to be held next Friday.
There is no doubt that rate will be
made.
