VIII Discuss the General Rate
Situation.
Central Passenger Association
TO Meet on Tuesday.
REDUCTION EXPECTED
Big Roads May Decide on 2 l.2
Cent Fare.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

A special meeting of the Central Pas
senger association has been called for
Tuesday to take up the general rate sit
uation in that territory. which has been
knocked completely out of shape by the
recent reduction of the Erie road to
basis of ~ cents per mile for the en-
tire system
While it is not expected that any
definite action in the way Of reducing
rates will be taken at this meeting. it
is believed in railroad circles that be-
fore the rates are again adjusted
throughout the territory they viii be
cut to ? cents per mile.
Big Reduction Expected.
Reports from Pittsburg say that rail-
road men there believe that the Penn
sylvania lines viii lead in the reduc-
ton. An official of that road is quoted
as saying that his company. being one
OF the strongest in the field, is averse
to making a cut in rates, but as the
cents per mile, with cent mileage
book open to all, no complaint could be
made if the Pennsylvania quoted a fiat
2 cent rate.
A New York Central official, in dis
cussing the rate situation recently,
said.
In my opinion a 21s cent mile rate
is the poorest one that can be made.

sipating earnings. There may be some
arguments for a 2 cent rate from the
railroad point of view. Where there IS

but even that figure will not create

VIII Cut Stop Legislation?
The chief dispute among the railroad
officials over the rate reduction ques-
ton is whether a voluntary cut will
+ forestau legislation by the various
states Some Of the officials believe that
/ if the roads put in the 2 cent rate 1t
will end the agitation, while others
think that it viii be an argument
/ against them, and that the politicians
will soon be arguing for a rate of Ia
/ cents per mile.
A symposium of the attitude of the
various governors of the different states,
! prepared by the secretary Of the Penn
/ sy1vania state board, shows that of Is
! governors who replied to his queries
only three of them We're not in favor of
a cent rate, and those were the COVER
nors of Colorado, Washington, and
North Dakota, all of whom plead that
conditions are not yet ripe in the west
for such low fares. but agree that they
| might be practical in the east.
This shows that the railroads have
reason to be afraid of legislation, and
the officials declare they are justified in
weighing well every act that might bear
| upon the subject. While some are will
| ing to believe that they might be able
to carry passengers for 2 cents per mile
| all are agreed that a lower rate would
| be nothing short of confscatiOn.

some details of the transfer are not
yet perfected.
The cost of the Baltimore & Ohio to
its new owners remains largely a mat
ter of conjecture. One guess was It IN
volved approximately $500, 100000 but
this figure is considered altogether too
high for the reason, among. others.
that control of the system, with the
Pennsylvania friendly. could be effect
ed by possession of much less than a
majority of stock. Possession Of g
third interest under this condition
would likely be sufficient.
Even with $120.000,000 as the price.
railroad men said the Hartman inter-
ests had acquired property well worth
the money.
There is a widespread impression
that Hartman interests have acquired
large holdings in Reading apart from
Baltimore & Ohio. Many well in
formed men insist these holdings are
large enough to enable the Hartman
party to control. Reading without any

Brooks Withdraws From Race.

To the Democratic Voters of Ellis
County: Since my announcement as
a candidate for the democratic nomi-
nation for reelection to the office
of superintendent of public instruc-
ton of Ellis county, I have decided
that it will not be best for me to
serve another term in this office
l am going to begin the study of
law and l believe it would be wrong
for me to hold this important office
and at the same time devote great
part of my time to the study of law.
l could not do SO without neglecting
my official duties.
The public schools Of the county
demand all the time of the super
intendent and they demand a man
who is a school man and not one who
is preparing to enter another profess
sion. Believing this I can do nothing
but withdraw from the race.
I do this at this time SO that some
one who aspires to this office will
have time to have his name placed
ON the ticket.
I have been raised In Ellis county
and expect to always make my home
in it I am very grateful to you foI
the honors you have bestowed upoI
me I have tried to do my duty ant
trust that have conducted my offic'
with some degree of efficiency
