Rock Island Frisco Profits Will
Go for Improvements.
For Physical Betterment rather
Than Dividends.
PROSPECTS BRIGHTER.
Full Effect viii Not BE Felt Till
Plans Are COnsummated.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Although earnings of the Rock
Island-Frisco line for the last fiscal
year were amply sufficient to pay divi-
dends on the preferred stocks the
policy adopted by the companies more
than a year ago to pay no dividends
not absolutely required is not to be de-
parted from, but all available net in
come is to be expended in carrying
out comprehensive plans for improve
ments and further development of the
properties. In the end, it is felt, the
stockholders will be gamers by a strict
adhesion to this policy, as the result of
the improvements to be effected when
completed will be TO increase earnings
largely. improvements already made,
as shown by operations, have resulted
in a comparative reduction of operat-
ing expenses and a corresponding in
crease in net earnings. The full ef-
fects of these improvements, however,
can not be realized until the entire
plan has been carried out.
Net earnings of the Rock Island
lines were large enough after paying
all charges, including interest on the
and per cent bonds of the Rock
Island company to have paid $50 on
the preferred stock OF the Rock
Island company. This stock. how
ever, only calls for 4 per cent, so that
had the dividends been paid there
would have been a surplus of 136 per
cent. Net earnings of the Frisco lines
also were large enough not only to
have paid full DIVIDENDS on the first
and second preferred stock, but a lit
tie over per cent on the common
stock.
Prospects of both these lines for the
current fiscal year are considerably
brighter than they We're this time last
year, so that the policy of improve
ment can be carried out still more
energetically than in the past.

RELATION OF STATE TO Il. r.
Railroad Gazette EditoriaIIy Discusses
E. P. RipIey's Letter to Kansas.
The Railroad Gazette says:

The Railroad Gazette says:
MI Ripley's letter to the people Of
Kansas protesting against their agito-
ton for a law limiting passenger fares
to two cents a mile is a masterpiece.
and we reprint it in full. If his facts
are fairly stated-and they seem fair
his argument is unanswerable There
is a theoretical weakness in his posi-
ton, in that the company's gains and
losses, its wise acts and its mistakes
or impositions, are spread over eight or
ten states, and Kansas neither benefits
by all the good things nor suffers from
all the bad; but it is only theoretical
for practically the state, or any state, in
dealing with an interstate railroad must
be guided by those standards which are
tangible and manageable, and these Mr..
Ripley has set forth very clearly. This
inability of a state to discipline great
railroad in all its doings is inherent IN
the provisions of the federal cOnstitu-
ton. If Mr. Ripley were to charge
passengers five cents mile in Arizona
and two cents a mile in Illinois, It
might or might not affect the people
of Kansas but they could not fairly
do anything about it, and in either case
their interest lies in close attention to
those conditions Gin their own state)
which they can deal with. Nothing IS
clearer than that the people of Kansas
get in passenger service more than they
pay for The railroad may fairly IN
sist on making this fact prominent II
the Atchison has taken too much money
from the people-and no evidence IS
presented that it hast has been on
freight not passengers; and freight
rates would be the ones to be reduced.
In fact the only rational plea that the
agitators for the universal two-cents a
mile rate can offer in any state is that
the railroads are doing we'll and ought
to divide with the people. The problem
of changing passenger fares is simple
in form-while freight rate problems
are always complieated-and so the
demagog seizes on it as one of his most
useful weapons. Always. in the past,
cases of this kind. unfortunately, have
been decided, not by full and frank ar
gument such as Mr.. Ripley now offers
and asks for. but by appealing to local
patriotism and prejudice or bald and
short-sighted self-interest. 1t will be
most hopeful evidence of progress in
civic intelligence If this appeal shall be
shown to have an appreciable effect
