Two-cENT FLAT MILEAGE RATE.
Philadelphia Business Associations
Aroused Against Excess Deposit,

The introducing into the Pennsylvania
legislature of a bill providing for fiat 2
cent mileage rate upon all railroads OPP
Grating in that state is the plan which
one of the large trade organizations
of the city has under consideration in order
to put a stop to the practice of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, which requires an excess
deposit of $10upon every mileage book pur-
chased Of 1t.
Il fiat 2-cent per mile rate is charged
to all passengers, the promoters of this
movement argue 1T will be unnecessary for
the Pennsylvania railroad or the Eastern
Trunk Line Association to employ any large
clerical force to look after the mileage
books. It will also, 1t is said do away with
any possibility of "Scalping,' as there could
be no object in reselling tickets.
So great has been the outburst of indig-
nation from business men In regard to this
question that it is not at present seen how
the pennsylvania railroad can withstand
the force of public sentiment against what
Is generally regarded as a left-handed
method of doing banking business with
out paying interest on deposits. From
100000 to 100000 is constantly in the
hands of the railroad company, and this
money evidently yields a large return to the
company.
While the local movement Is growing
stronger every day, business men in va
nouS parts of Philadelphia and adjacent
cities have become interested and are send
ing letters to Philadelphia asking for in
formation These letters indicate that sim
liar movements will soon be in opera ton in
every part of Pennsylvania.
