A Pool Contemplated.

There is no longer any doubt of the
intention OF the western roads to form
q pool on traffic between Chicago, St.
Louis, ST. Paul and Missouri river
points. The interstate commerce law
and the Sherman antitrust law, both
of which prohibit the pooling of earn
ings or traffic. are to be ignored if two
are disiuclined to enter the charmed
circle, can be whipped into line. A COM

COPYRIGHT and G. L. Wellington,
Western Joint Freight bureau, has
been in session in Chicago for the last
two days to formulate plan by which
the proposed organization is to be
operated. This plan, if completed,
will be submitted to meeting of the
executive officers to be held in that
city tomorrow. The plan comprehends
an equitable division of either the
earnings or traffic, as may be agreed
upon, among the various lines COM
peting at common points.
What amounted to practically traf-
fic pool was maintained by the western
roads up to the time when the United
States supreme court rendered it's deci-
sion in the Transmissouri Freight asso-
citation case. That decision knocked
the old Western Freight association
sky high, and on its ruins the present
Western Joint Tariff bureau was erect
ed. The latter has been unable to
secure the maintenance of rates and
general decentralization in freight rates,
especially those between Missouri river
points and Chicago, has prevailed ever
since.-HoustOn Post.

After The Railroads.

The attorney general of Kansas, Mr..
Boyle, has fled cults in the supreme
court of that state against the Rock Is
land. Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific,
St. Louis and San Francisco and Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas railroads to
compel them to make returns of roll
ling stock for purposes of taxation on
the mileage. The suits are similar to
suit filed some time ago against the
SantaSFe road. The Kansas railroads
in the past have been returning rolling
stock in various states. The attorney
general holds that q complete return
of rolling stock and mileage should be
made by each road, and the respective
roads then be assessed in the propor-
ton the mileage in this state bears to
the entire amount of rolling stock.
The suits will be determined in a uni
form way, and if the state wins will
mean an increase of several million
dollars in railroad assessments-Ex-

Engineer Browns Problem.

There's a romantic story in several
chapters being carried on near the
main line of the Santa F'e, between
Topeka and Emporis, and if all the
facts were known some people would be
surprised There's certain engineer
whom we will call Brown for con-
venience; his engine will be No. Al for
the same purpose. Brown has been in
the habit OF making a visit when he
stopped to whistle for q certain rail
road crossing. He will stop, pull the
whistle, jump to the ground and a
romantic young girl would appear from
the shadow of the tree and allow her.
self to be gathered in her future pro-
tector's arms while shower of kisses
would be rained upon her upturned
face. It would all take but q minute,
and Brown would Chamber back into
engine cab and pull out.
This has been going on for some
time, and the fireman has become so
over, open the throttle and get the
engine started as the engineer would
climb back upon the seat in the cab.
One night Engineer Brown was absent
from the run and another engineer
took his place. When the crossing
was reached the new engineer stopped
and whistled and saw q woman emerge
from Gne sn8QOW OF Inc Tree.
whats that? he asked the fire.

"Why, it's Browns girl waiting to
be kissed, replied the fireman and he
explained to the sengineer all about
it.
"Well,' said the new man on the
| run, II guess 1 can kiss her as well as
Brown" and he climbed down out OF
the cab, and after the fireman had
heard several loud explosions from the
outside the engineer came clamberinR
back into the cab, chuckling to him.

Engineer Brown was absent from
the run for several days, and when the

freight agents, local and commercial
lines engaged in Texas traffic was held
in st. Louis few days ago, for the
purpose demonstrating the best method
OF applying the war tax on freight
shipments. This matter has engaged
the attention of freight traffic men
| all over the country, and the legal de-
partments of the leading lines have for
several days been wrestling with the
problem. The meeting was well at
tended, and Chairman Seth Frink. of
the Southern freight committee, pre-
sided. The general sentiment of the
meeting was in favor of the attitude as
| sumed by the Western lines in Chicago
| early in the week, namely, that the
railroads could not be required to put
a war stamp on more than one receipt
or bill of lading for each consignment;
duplicate bills they should
stamps for them. Members
of the Illinois Manufacturers as
sOciation, which entered strong pro-
test with Western lines against the
proposition to make the consignee or
consignor pay the war tax on bills of
lading, acknowledge that there can be
little opposition to having the shipper

It is recognized that dupli
Gates are given to accom-
modate the shipper, and for that
reason it is considered fair that the
benefited party should pay the cost.
This is now the common understanding
arrived at between the railroads and
shippers of the country, and it will be
enforced by all the lines entering
