WILL NOT BE REPEALED
THE HOUSE COMMITTEE WILL KILL
MIR. COTNER'S BILL.
legislature Is Not in a Mood to Tam
per with the County Reform
Legislation.

Representative Cotner's bill to repeal the
county reform laws, is doomed to meet an
untimely end The bill was referred to the
committee on county and township BUSH
ness and the members of the committee
have announced themselves, it is under
Stood as seriously opposed to interfering
with the workings OF the reform law until
the measure has at least been given fair
show to prove success or a failure. AL
though the committee has not yet reported
on the bill, the author of the measure has
been informed that his bill is to be indef-
nitely postponed, which is a diplomatic way
of killing 1t.
Some of the supporters of Mr.. Cotner' 5
bill are asserting that Speaker Artman
fixed the county and township commit
tee when he appointed the members. as far
as legislation looking to the repeal Of the
reform laws is concerned By the term
fixed is meant that Mr.. Altman had Ii
understood that there was to be no repeal
of these laws when he selected the MEM
bers of this committee. IL is known that
the speaker OF the House is an ardent
supporter of these reform measures and
he is determined to have them stand If 1T
is in his power TO do so. 1t Is not believed
that Mr.. Cotner will take the defeat of his
bill much to heart.

1t is stated that the retirement of Percy
Todd as general traffic manager OF the

There is excellent authority for stating
that the railroad companies have no In
tention of throwing the express companies
off of their respective lines and doing the
business themselves. The express COM
panies have contracts with the Inherent
railroads which run for many years, which

The number of interchangeable mileage
books sold by the Central Passenger Blu
reau in the year 1900 1s0.3lS, and the
amount Of money paid out in rebates on
the return book covers Is s7.I97, 106. In 1879
the safes were loo,otf ana the rebate pay
ments 81. 507. 493. In 1885, the first year that
the books were placed on sale, the sales
were 1875, and the rebate payments ag-
gregated ST. .442. From this it will be
seen that each year the mileage book Is
becoming more popular. and that with the
prosperity OF the country the number OF
travelling statesmen who largely use these
books has increased. An analysis Of the
annual statement by the chairman of
the bureau shows that the last three
months the monthly sales and disburse-
ments were much the largest in the his
tory OF the bureaus operations The dis
bursements In December were the largest In
any month. Efforts now being made
to extend interchangeable mileage tickets
over Western lines. While they may not
be able to get book that will cover the
Central Passenger Association lines, those
Of the Western Passenger Association and
of the Southwestern Passenger Association.
arrangements will doubtless be made by
which travelling statesmen and others who
use mileage books travel over a
large territory with but two or three books
where many are now used.

SPECJLATIONS REGARDING THE
DEEP CUT IN CALIFORNIA RATES.

interchangeable Mileage.

The announcement yesterday that
Charles NJ Hayes, president of the South
err Pacific, had authorized a rate from
Missouri river points 10 California points.
$50 from Chicago. $3.50 from ST. Louis and
SO from Kansas City, created quite a stir
in passenger circles. Although rumors that
such rates would be given had prevailed, it
was believed that some adjustment would
be reached by which they would not go
into effect The only reason that can be
assigned for such action on the part OF
the Southern Pacific is to catch a class of
travel which must have some special in
ducement, such as very low rate; as at
the present time, TO secure berth TO Cali
fornia points on either of the first class
trains, a traveller must make application
two three weeks in advance. as both
the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific are en-
Jcying the heaviest California travel
10 their history. While this is

district passenger agent of the Chicago.
burlington & Quincy. who was in the city
yesterday, said the chief trouble was that
when any break in rates was made it often
took months and sometimes years to re-
store even a reasonable tariff. He then
mentioned the fact that I'm 1870 the rate
from the river points was SIPS, two years
later 1t was reduced TO 800. and 1t was
called very low rate and resulted in
quite rush Of travel tc California points.
When the rush was over business was
quiet for some years; ten years later an
other reduction was made to $65 one way
and this created new business for some
months. About a year ago. when the
Santa Fe opened it's lines to California,
rates became demoralized, and one-way
rate OF $50 from Missouri river points Ia
California points was established and is
now the rate on all first-class passenger
trains OF the Santa Fe and the Southern
Pacific Whether such rates can now be
held in the face of this cutting Colonel
Shaw thinks Is serious question, and
he fears the action of President Hays is
but the entering wedge to a bitter rate wal
between the strong lines that carry the
California business. that II may extend tc
the Eastern connections OF these California
routes and demoralize rates more generally
than the mere announcement of a reduc.
