through su b Q country.
In pa sir g over the country from I'll
Paso to Sau Antonio one will wonder
how the great system can manage 10
make running expenses with such
country as q contributor. This will be
clear, however. when one gets IN idea
of the enormous volume Of transcopti.
mental freight the com oany handles
over lite lines. The fact that she road
Is q paying institution is evidence that
business comes from come source and
the fact that local business OF the COM
pany from FL Paso TO San Antonio will
not afford over one car load each week,
shows what little support the company
gets from local sources.
Turning to his desk in his private
car yesterday afternoon Mr.. Vsn Week
clipped the following from his reports
recently submitted TO the state railroad
commission ard hanied ie to the her
AID reporter:
For each 81 90 received by the COM
pauy &c. q. & S. Az the Inhabitants OF
Texas COZ tributsd but 20 cent? and the
inhabitents of other states II cents.
whilst OF eseh 81 90 received there was
disbursed and paid out ~ citizens OF
Texas 81 cents.
In other words, out Of each dollar
taken in by the company from all traf-
&c and ell sources 81 cents Was at once
paid out 70 citizens OF Texas for labor
and material And whilst the citizens
of Texas contributed but 20 cents out
Of each dollar earned they we're paid
as above 81 cent?, or In other words not
only the 20 cents contributed by them.
baS also 80 cents additional, which was
collected from she people of other
states on through traffic CARRIED
