COULD PAY TEN PER CENT.
Splendid Financial Showing of Santa
Ee For Past Year.

In recent issue the Chicago Post
presents some interesting figures on the
earning powers of the Santa Fe. 1t is
stated that at the close of the year end
ed June &c. 1901, the Santa Fe had a
capitalization of approximately $53, 200
per mile, with an annual charge for
$500 per mile. With the Santa Fe,
Prescott & Phoenix. the mileage of the
Atchison is about 5000. Charges of all
kinds. including sinking funds on the
debentures, foot up about $13, Az, 876, or
about 81, $50 per mile. The dividend on
the preferred stock calls for STA per
mile and the dividend on the comm on
stock for $50 per mile, making, with
the charges, a. total requirement of ST.
900 per mile up to the present dividends
on the stock
Maintenance of way, maintenance of
equipment and general expenses are
likely to absorb about 81, 500 per mile,
making an outlay of s4,50O per mile for
everything UP to the transportation ex-
penses, which ought not to exceed 80
per cent. of the gross earnings. COnSe-
quently $4,000 per mile represents IS per
cent. of the amount of gross earnings
and would make all expenses, charges
and dividends up to per cent. on the
common stock of $500 per mile. Any
surplus above present dividend earnings
accruing to the common stock
The gross earnings per mile of Atchi-
son in 1900 were Sc. 299; in 1901, S6,977.
and in 1902 have amounted to 81, 1893 per

mile, or $773 per mile above the require
ments of per cent. on Atchison COM
mon- This suggests that the earning
capacity on Atchison common stock last
year was in excess of 10 per cent. 1t
is hardly probable that as much as this
will be shown. as betterments will abb
sorb a portion Of the net profits, but
there can hardly fail to be an exhibit
of earnings considerably in excess of 8
per cent.
California fruit interests say that
shipments of fruit this year will surely
reach 100000 car loads. Orange trees
nave suffered somewhat, but every
other crop is larger than in many years,
although the crop is somewhat late.
The estin ate on prunes is 145,000, 900
pounds.
When it is considered that the Cali
fornia fruit crop is more valuable to the
Atchison in dollars and cents than the
Kansas corn crop. the Importance of
the above Information should be reck-
oned with in determining the prospects
of the road for the coming year. Cali
forn1a fruit shipments are about equally
divided between the Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe.

SANTA FE PAINTERS ORGANIZE
Will Ask Company For More Pay and
Better Conditions.

Santa Fe painters are preparing to
organize a local lodge of the Brother
hood of Painters, Decorators and Paper
hangers of America, with the principal
object of lettering the conditions of
their work and pay, besides receiving
such other benefits as come to the reg
ular membership of the order. It is
elaine ed that the painters are working
under the most unfavorable circum-
stances of any of the Santa Fe trades
men in this city, and it is the plan after
the union is launched to have a con-
ference with the officials and ask for
readiustment. This will probably
mean that the paint shop men will want
more money than they are getting, and
while the dissatisfaction is great with
the manner in which they are compen-
stated, there is little if any likelihood of
difficulties arising between the men and
the company. An application signed by
about twenty from that department
was sent to Lafayette, Ind, Friday ask
ing for the Incorporation of the Topeka
organization.
The order includes paperhangers,
house, sign, pictorial and railroad paint
ers, and is said to be particularly strong
IN most parts of the country. There is
a lodge in Topeka made up of the house
men, but the railroad painters do not
believe that one organization can handle
the interests of all branches.
'AH the tradeSn en- in the Shops'' said
Santa F'e painter, 'have been sub
stantially recognized by the company.
anu we DeueVe tndt II is only fair thai
it should be so with US. Our condi-
tons have not been satisfactory here
for long time, and we think that the
officials will see fit to grant whatever
reasonable request we make. There is
already painters union in Topeka
but it is composed entirely of house
painters, and we do not think the in
terests of the two branches can be
properly handled by. the same local or
ganization. At Cleburne, Tex, and at
all the great railroad shops of the
United States there is such a brother
hood Besides being a union, it has the
commendable feature of education in
connection with the regular lodge work,
and sick and death benefits Increases
In pay have not come to us as they
should and while we are not yet ready
to say what will be asked. we believe
1t will be such that the Santa Fe can
grant our request. We figure that about
fifty men Will go into it, including ap-
prentlces and helpers" It is not Gus
tomary in most other railroad crafts to
include helpers in the unions of first
class tradesmen, but with some of them
apprentices are eligible to membership.

nit apprentice boys who have served
two years.

BONDS WERE BURNED INVALID CERTIFICATES DE- STROYED ACCORDING TO LAW State Officials Watched Papers, Once Worth $352OO, Go Up in
 Smoke-Directed by the
 Treasurer.

Papers which at one time represented value of more than $352.OO went up in smoke yesterday afternoon in the Gov ernor's office. The papers were at one time Alabama bonds, class A, bearing 5 per cent interest
 These papers ceased to be bonds and were worth no more than the paper on which they were printed. The holders of the bonds had at various times ex- changed their coupon bonds for regis tered. Class A bonds, bearing the same interest. The advantage to the holders who made the exchange lay in the fact that they secured registered for unreg- istered bonds. The exchange was au- thorized by special act of the Legis- iature. As the old bonds were received they were deposited by Treasurer Smith in the States vault and preserved until they could be legally destroyed.
 The burning of the bonds was done le- gally and formally in the presence of Governor Jelks, Treasurer J. Craig Smith and Auditor Thomas L. Sowell.
 The destruction of the bonds neither increased nor decreased the States debt by one dollar, nor did it have any effect upon the amount of interest annually paid out by the State on it's bonded in- debtedneSs.
