physical effort and considerable intel
ligence, the workman at the end of his
daily toll is not physically exhausted
and only fit for stimulants or bed, but
he is seeking physical recreation and
those things which will fit him more
and more for his days work. I think
this feature of the question should be
of interest to advocates for old-age
pensions. as it will be easily seen that
a man who would be unfit for heavy
physical exertion would be just as cap
able of carrying on his work under the
new conditions and would be still earn

NET EARNINGS INCREASE.
Railroads of the Country Continue
Their WondarfsaI Recnrd-

RAILROADS OF the Country Continue
Their Wonderful Record.
Reports of railroad earnings continue
to show liberal Increases in both gross
and net and are largely responsible Cor
the feeling of moderate bullishuess on
the stock market. The aggregate show
ing for March of sixty-nine roads that
have made reports is considered re-
markable- The total gross earnings re-
ported by those roads amounted to $79-
10000, as compared with $67 ,301 600 in
the corresponding month in 1902, an in
crease Of 81, l09, 900, or about Is per
cent
Operating expenses did not Increase in
the same ratio, and as a result the per
centage of net gain was somewhat
larger than the gain in gross. The net
earnings of these sixty-nine roads for
March were reported at s26 SO5. COO as
against $50, 264, 600 in the corresponding
month last year, the increase being $4,-
$4,000, or a shade more than 20 per
cent.
Taking the earnings of all the roads in
the aggregate March was the best
month of the fiscal year. Up to March
the sixty-nine roads under c0nsidera-
ton showed a decrease in net as COM
pared with the same period last year
With the March earnings included, how
ever. the figures for nine months of the
fiscal year beginning last July show all
increase of something more than "a 000-
600. The gross of these sixty-nine roads
in nine months was 1898 GA coo, an in
crease Of s45,3S7, 000 or about 10 per
cent The next for the period was 1922
755.000. as against s21S $4,000 last year.
the increase being S4,06d,00O, or 1.S5 per
cent
Reports received thus far for April
have been almost uniformly good. Sew
eral OF the largest roads have shown
very large gains in gross in their pre-
liminary figures. and it is expected that
a fair portion of this increase will be
saved Tor the net earnings.

OF BENEFIT TO EmIeRANrs.
Santa Fe Announces One-third Re-
duction on Household Goods Rate.

A radical reduction in freight on
household goods between Denver and
California common points was an
nOunced at the Santa Fe Offices this
morning. It is understood that all of
the roads will adopt the same schedule.
The rate has been reduced from SO per
100 pounds to 81 per 100. The change
goes into effect tomorrow. A great
many years ago a rate of 81 so per 100
was in effect on all Of the western roads,
but by agreement this was raised to 50,
where it has remained ever since. The
reduction to 81 is understood to be due
to the large quantities of household
goods the railroads have been called
upon to handle during the past few
years. The increased immigration into
California from the east during the past
few years has more than trebled. and
this has enabled the roads to handle
large quantities Of this class of freight
at lower cost.
