Cost of Moving Trains.

The rates charged for transportation
of passengers by rail are being criti-
cised and questioned in 4hany quar-
ters of the country. This has been
stimulated by the fact that the govern
ment roads of Austria Hungary in 1889
reduced rates of fare from one-half to
one-sixth, and yet the traffic so greatly
increased that the gain in receipts was
over S2,000000 in two years. Prof.
Parsons cites the cases of many east
ern railroads that sell season tickets
at little more than half cent q mile,
and declares that they would not 40
SO If 1t was not a fact that that sum
more than covered the cost of transpor-
which he names sell commutation tick
cts at seven-tenths of cent a mile,
and admit a profit of so per cent in the
business Prof. Parsons estimates that
the average cost OF moving "a passen-
ger train Is so cents mile or about
II cents a car. as is shown by the rail-
way reports. "A moderate train of
ordinary coaches will carry 400 or 900
persons, so that with well-hlled trains
the cost is not more than one-Gfth of
cent passenger a mile. All the
expenses of railway traffic are taken
into account in figuring the eighty-cent
cost per train mile" Under govern
ment ownership he claims that these
expenses will be reduced at least n
third. the cost per train mile will fall
to 60 cents, and the cost OF carrying n
passenger one mile In a full train will
be .l5 of a cent
