Overland Trains Have Not Been

Announcements will be made Wlthln
a few days by the Atchison. Topeka
& Santa Re. the Chicago Rock Island
& Pacific and the Union Pacific rail-
way companies increasing the run
ming time of their limited trains be-
tween Chicago and the Pacific coast
by about two hours. Under the pres
ent schedules the limited trains on
each of these roads are supposed to
make the trip i'm fraction over 81
hours. 1t has been found well nigh
impossible to make this schedule with
any degree of regularity and some Of
the officers OF the roads nave eX-
pressed the opinion from time to time
that the schedule demanded too high
a rate of speed considering the coun-
try which had to be traversed.
Each of the three roads are pro-
spective bidders for some transconti-
mental mail contracts OF great re-
munerative value and have strained
every effort to have their trains keep
up to the fast schedules with the hope
of making a record which would give
30 the contracts. but they have not
been able TO do it, and so they have
decided to increase the running time
OF their trains under a schedule which
it viii be possible to maintain with
fair degree Of regularity. With the
three roads entering into this agree
ment and sticking to it, each of them
Will have an equal chance at the mail
contracts by maintaining as nearly as
possible the new schedules.
These schedules viii go into effect
on either February IL or February IS,
and the new time card on the Santa
re for the California Limited will in
crease the running time by two hours.

japanese Experts says American Of
fcials Are Best in World.


Chicago. Feb. 7.-Government owner
ship Of railroads in this country is not
desirable, in the opinion of Yoshio XII
moshita. general passenger agent of the
government railroads of Japan, who is
just completing an Is months course in
American railroad methods. taken in
Office, freight yard and shop.
The reason the japanese railroad man
gives for maintaining the system of pri-
Vate ownership is not that there are
bad politicians here, but because the
American railroad man does his work
so Well For Japan Mr. KinOshita be-
lieves that a combination of government
and private ownership is the best.
Government roads il Japan" he said,
look after the welfare of the public,
and the privately owned roads supply
that elasticity demanded by industry.
What you call government red tape is
found in Japan, and government rail-
ways cannot have elastic methods.
Also in Japan government roads take
the initiative, but here there is no need
of government assistance in that line.
Your private roads take the lead and
need no urging to develop new fields.
Mr.. Kinoshita has spent six months on
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois with Sec
ond Vice President F. I. Miller as tutor.
His study by direction of his govern
ment, has been of operating methods.
Five years ago he spent six months in
Germany ard France on a similar mis-
sion. Early next month he win go to
England and later to the continent to
study railroad methods in those coun-
tries.
My experience convinces me that
American railroad operating officials are
the best in the world. said the orien-
tai student of modern enterprise. .'They
never seem to rest. being engaged from
morning until night trying to cut off
unnecessary expenses, improve the SER
vice, and take care of business in the

the Frisco. Mr.. Yoakum spent the day
al the Frisco general Offices in consulta-
ton with the leading officials and left
last evening over the Eastern Illinois
line for Chicago, en- route for New York.
The Frisco board meeting in New York
awaits Mr.. Yoakum's return and he will
have a great deal to say concerning
general conditions in the southwest and
the prospects for business this year all
over the system. He is much interested
in the development of the Frisco Katy
fast mail service from st. Louis to the
southwest and expects great results
from it in every way. The schedules ar
ranged win surely be maintained and
the service will be a strong factor in
developing closer commercial relations
between St Louis and the territories,
Texas and Mexico.
