nent of thu railroad executives in the
country, had this to say:
1T is difficult to foretell what the
results will be of the proposed freight
rate legislation, if enacted. either upon
the railroads, the shipper. or the con-
sumner. What is proposed in most of
the pending legislation is in one es-
sential very wide departure from the
principles upon which our government
is founded, based on whEch the rail-
roads and business and agricultural
interests of the country have been
built up and attained the splendid pro-
portions existing today. The prob
ability is the immediate effect of any
legislation enacted will not be great
nor will it be noticed in the results of
the railway operations of the coming
year. The ultimate effect of prac-
tically taking out of the control of the
railways the rate making power and
lodging it with a commission a Wash
ington, which may, and doubtless will
be, more or less subject to POLITICAL in
fluence at all times, is extremely
doubtful, and the best that can be
said for it is that it is largely expert
mental in its effects upon the railroads
and the shipping public at large

ROCK ISLAND DOING BETTER.
Frisco Statement Also Shows Gain
Over last Year.

Frisco Statement Also Shows Gain
Over last Year.
The statement of earnings issued by
the Chicago, Rock Island g. Pacific
Railway company and the ST. Louis &
San Francisco company for the noath
of November and for the first five
months of the fiscal year show that
both companies are getting much bet
ter results than for the corresponding
periods of the previous year. On the
Rock Island lines during November a
gain of over 10 per cent was made in
the gross receipts. The cost of opera
ton, in comparison with the CORE
spending month of 1904, was not so
large relatively as might have been ex-
pected in view of the policy adopted
some time ago by the management TO
make liberal deductions out of earn
ings for extraordinary improvements
Notwithstanding this policy. the net
earnings on the Rock Island lines for
November were between 8 and 10 per
cent larger than for the correspond
ing months of the previous year. The
gross receipts of the Rock Island lines
for the first five months of the fiscal
year were satisfa Glory, representing an
expansion of between IA and Is per
cent in comparison with the results
obtained for the corresponding period
a year ago. During the five months
this year large sums were charged out
of earnings for improvements and
consequently the Increase in the net
over the same period of last year was
only about per cent.
The Frisco lines in November did
fairly we'll also. The gain in gross
earnings was nearly per cent. The
operating expenses did not increase in
proportion and consequently the net
receipts expanded between II and 10
per cent. The Frisco lines are also
well ahead of last year in their gross
earnings from July 1 to November 80.
To be sure the increase is not large, in
fact not nearly so large in proportion
as on the Rock Island lines Evidently
the policy of charging heavily out of
earnings for Improvements was well
in force on the Frisco lines during the
first five months of tile current fiscal
wear. as there was an increase in the
cost of operations of nearly 10 per
cent, resulting in a decrease in the net
receipts.

ADOPTING PENSION PLAN.
All Large Railroads seem to Be Fol
lowing Lead of PennsyIvania.

Pensions for superannuated and dis
abled employees evidently are to become
a general accompaniment Of American
railway service. Since the Pennsylvania
Railroad company put in operation It's
retirement and pensioning plan on jan
uary 1, 1900. similar systems have been
established by other important COM
panies, as follows: January 1, 1901.
Pennsylvania lines west and Chicago
and Northwestern railway; July I, 1901,
Illinois Central; June 1. 1902, Delaware,
LackaWanna and Western; January /,
1903, Canadian Pacific, Southern Pacific.
Union Pacific, Oregon Short line, Ore
gon railroad and navigation; February
I, 1904, Atlantic Coast line; July, 1904,
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
extended its system. The Baltimore and
Ohio, which established a limited PEN
sion plan in 1884, Reading, Buffalo, Ro-
chester and Pittsburg and other lines
also have applied the pension idea in
some form to a portion or the whole of
their service. And now, says the Rail-
way Age, comes the announcement that
the commencement of the year 1905
will witness the adoption of pension
system similar to that of the Pennsyl-
vania and the other large companies
named. upon the lines of the New York
Central system, those specifically named
being the New York Central. Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern, Michigan Cen
trail and Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago
and St Louis. This will add some 10000
miles to the list and make a total OF
perhaps rs, 900 miles Of American roads,
having over $4,000 employees, upon
which carefully elaborated pensioning
systems are in operation, supported en-
tirely by annual appropriations from the
comDany's treasury, without cOntribu-
ton in any form from employees.
The Boston and Maine is now form
ulating a pension plan and the move
ment seems likely to become general
with all companies which find them
selves in financial condition to under
take the responsibility. Of course, there
are small and Improbable roads which
can not yet afford to indulge in this gen
erosity. The usual plan is that of an
allowance to every employe at the age
of 20. of per cent for each year of ser
vice. based upon the average monthly
PAY. received for the ten preceding years
Thus, if an employe who has been forty
wears in service has averaged 800
month for the last ten years he viii
have a life pension Of $40 q month. The
experiment appears to have worked well
with the companies trying it during the
last FIVE years. and to have done much
good without noticeably impoverishing

NOVEL NEW YEARS BREAKFAST
Fort Scott Party Has an Elaborate
After Midnight Meal.


Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Rumbaugh and
their daughter, Mrs. Laura Greene, en-
tertained about forty of their friends
in most novel way by serving a New
Years breakfast this morning just at
the advent of the New Year.
During the evening Miss Cora Greene
presided at the piano most of the time
and many of the old sweet songs of
sembled guests and fun and mirth and
sparkling wit ruled the hour, ITO be,
or not to be- was the question, and just
large monograph in the library broke
out with that old sweet Scotch ballad,
never to be forgotten, Aud Lang Syne.
The guests Immediately arose to their
feet and all joined in the song. After
this was finished pandemonium broke
loose for a while. A great many of the
guests had tin horns and bells hid up
their coat sleeves or somewhere else, and
the old year was rung out, and "blOwed
out and the new year was rung in
and "blowed in"
After this gladstone storm was over,
handshaking, and happy greetings for
the New Year were INDUCED in for a
while by the guests. After this was over.
all were seated at a most elaborate and
sumptuOus breakfast. The table was
loaded with all the rich viands Of the

serve the different courses. While the
meal was being served. Miss Cora Green

nANLY WANTS 1Nvo CENT MILE.
Indiana's Governor Says the Michigan
Law Is Proper.

Indianapolis. Ind. Jan. 3.-Governor
Hanly, in an informal talk before the
meeting of the Commercial Travellers
association of Indiana yesterday, said:
Il am not sure but that the time has
come for all railroads earning as much
as $4,000 a mile gross to have a straight
fare of two cents a mile for all travellers.
This is the law in Michigan. and
many Of the railroads of the lower
peninsula have the twO-cent fare. and
still seem to be in a prosperous condi-
ton.
If this Is true in Michigan, I do not
see how the contrary could be true in
Indiana, which has a greater popUla-
ton in less area, and where not only
the gross earnings, but, in some in
stances, even the net earnings Of some
roads are more than 50, coo a mile"

TRYING THE MOTOR CARS.
First Trip Made With Them on Leav-

First Trip Made With Them on EeaV-
enworth Branch.
Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 3.-The be-
ginning of one of the most important
railroad changes in the west took
place yesterday afternoon on the
Lawrence LeavenWOrth branch of the
Union Pacific. The new motor cars,
which will replace the steam cars con-
stituting what has been known here as
the Ieavenworth branch, made their
first trip. Mr.. Palmer. road superin-
tendent, of Kansas City, and an en-
gfneer from the factory which con-
structed the cars, accompanied the
motor train on it's first trip to Leaven-
worth and back. The new train was
composed of two small cars of light
frame. operated by six cylinder,
twenty horse power gasoline engine.
The cars are only twenty feet in
length. but are of regulation width.
They are a trif1e higher, but otherwise
are similar to an ordinary street car
The motor car has the engine in one
end and twelve passenger seats in the
other. The trailer is a baggage car
complete. There will eventually be a
third car exclusively for passengers If
the traffic justifies it. It was believed
that three hours would be necessary to
make the round trip and that fifteen
gallons of gasoline would be used. This
would make q tremendous saving over
the present steam roads, and If the
trial is successful it will cause great
changes in railroad circles.
