operation of railwys in the state for
the last twenty four years. In 1878 the
railway mileage of Iowa was 4,157
miles; in 1901 it was 1858 miles. In
the same period the earnings grew
from $2O,714,00O to $54,O64,000: the ex-
penses from s12.565,OOO to s37,449,O00;
net earnings from $s,14S.0o0 to $17.314,-

mileage and traffic, examination indi-
Gates that the profitableness of the
railway business has not increased
proportionately, but, on the other hand,
has decreased.
With an increase of 5.196 miles. or
125 per cent in mileage and of s34.O50,-

has been in increase of $24,sS4,OO0, or
