HERBERT WILL

WONDER WHAT CHANGES Will
BE MADE.
EMPLOYEES KEPT GUESSING

J. NJ Herbert, manager Of the Rio
GTSr7e system, is expected 10 arrive in
Salt Leke today on his first visit TO the
city since he was appointed to his pres
ent position. Mr.. Herbert is at present
engaged in tour Of inspection over the
system. He spent yesterday on the San
pete branch, accompanied by General
Superintendent Webb, Assistant Traffic
Manager BabcOck, and Chief Engineer
Yard. The special train bea ing the party
spent last nisht at Thistle Junction.
Employees Of the road are indulging
in a large amount Of speculation over
the significance, If any, Of this trip of
the new manager His trips over the
pSnver & Rio Grande have resulted IN
several changes. and the Jtah railroad
men are wOndering If similar results will
follow on the Rio Grande Western.
Conditions are different on the two
roads, however, and there Is feeling
that the Utah men have reason TO feel
safer than those on the d. & R. G..
On the Colorado road the principal
changes have been in connection with
the Pueblo yards The congestion of tTaf-
fie there has lasted for wears and more
this problem. Mr.. Hel bert has taken
hold Of it energetically and introduced
several reforms, chief among which has
been the appointment of a superintendent
his entire time 10 keeping traffic moving
through Pueblo.
The Rio Grande Western has no such
serious problem. The road is in good
shape. The greatest fear on the part
of the Western employees is that changes
will be made on the ground of economy.
The policy of General Superintendent
Welby has been to pay good wages hire
only experienced men IN the operating
department, and to expect service as
near perfect as human effort can make
st. There is no seniority, every man
stands on has merits There is a fear in
some quarters that the new management
viii seek TO hold down wages and to in
crease the amount of work for each
employee, putting il on a basis akin 70
that of the Great Northern g road that
Is ear from popular with railroad men.
The principal ground for this fear is
that General Manager Russell Harding
was up to three years ago general SUI
perintendent of the Great Northern. Men
who know the records of Mr.. Harding and
SIR. Herbert best, however, say that
their policy viii not be of the cheese
pairing kind, and that few changes. if
any, of consequence. are TO be antici-
pated. But even these persons admit
that they are merely guessing.

New York. Dec. 4-Representatives of
practically every railroad running west
of Chicago, with the exception of the
Great Northern. held meeting today
I'm this city. The business of the ses-
sion was unusually brief, and had to do
chiefly with the problem of maintaining
freight and passenger rates through the
vast country traversed by these roads,
81 was announced. Perhaps the most Sc
Ti0us problem which presented itself to
the railroad men was the increasing car
famine which at this time taxes the ca
pacity of all the more important roads.
No conclusion was reached on this point
but it was suggested that il might be
necessary to make a per diem charge
instead OF a mileage charge for the use
of cars.
Regarding the rate situation. freight
and passenger reports submitted indi-
Gated that these were in a fairly salts
factory condition There were no COM
plants of rate cutting presented. No
announcement was made of action for or
against the proposed pooling bill.

Referring to the Russian sugar bOun-

action because the agricultural and

manded that measure of protection
which was intended TO be afforded by
the tariff law. He says the case viii

and 1t is hoped by the department that
the decision of the court may be con-
elusive and convincing as to the merits
Of this complicated question.
The laws relating to the exclusion of
Chinese expire by limitation on May .,
1902. The re-enaetment of these laws,
either as they now stand or with modi-
ficatiOns, furnishes an important sub
jet for investigation and appropriate
action by congress. If the laws should
be renewed. or their provisions extend
ed the department would be pleased
TO furnish a statement covering certain
administrative betterments suggested
by experience in their enforcement.
OF the appropriation of $4,000 for
the administration of the Chinese eX-

Reduction of Revenue.
In discussing the proposition to re-
duce the revenue the secretary says;
Congress must be the final judge
as to what particular objects of tax
alton and in what degree reduction in
rates shall apply. In my opinion, it
would be within conservative limits to
reduce revenues to the extent Of $780,
600, 000 AS a first step in that direc-
ton. / recommend for consideration the
repeal of all the miscellaneous taxes
known as war taxes. These items lex

Secretary Gage criticises the present
banking system. declaring it was
designed for fair weather and not for
storms The evils of loans and de-
pOsits are severely commented upon.
Considerable space is given to a re-
view of the operations of individual
banks and reference is made to the
suggestion that protection against
these could be found in a large cen
trail bank with multiplied branches.
Secretary Gage concludes his report
with review of the currency ques-
ton, in which the present system is
defended and the note issuing function
of banks declared to be proper and Ie-
climate, within the entire limits Of
safety.
