| The Pennsylvania is one of the few
roads whose fiscal year runs concur
rently with the calendar year. While
! most other roads have closed their fiscal
year, only six months of the Pennsyl-
vania's operation can be taken into
consideration. In 1905 and 1906 the last
half of the year was by far the better
In the Pennsylvania record, but the
road has done so well in the first half
this year that the general impression
seems to be that it will be doing well
If 1t equals the showing in the second
half. while others maintain that it will
not surprise them if the record for the
six months still to be accounted for ex-
ceeds that already passed by 100000
at least.
To do so the road will have to earn
an aVei age of not less than $14, 600 900
month. But this would be nothing
remarkable for the Pennsylvania. 1t
has run over this average for the last
three months and the heaviest part of
the traffic year is still to come. All
of course depends on business condi-
tons. and at the moment there is
nothing to indicate that there is to be
any cessation or even lessening of the
activity that has prevailed. On the con-
trary the outlook is daily becoming
more encouraging. Reports from the
agricultural districts are all of the
tenor that an abundant harvest will be
ity is rich, contented and jubilant, and
will be a free spender of money. This
of course will keep general business
prosperous.
Heretofore 1t has been the policy of
the Pennsylvania to charge the first
half or it's fiscal year with the heavier
portion of its expenses. and there is no
reason to imagine that there has been
any departure from this established
practice during the present year. These
expenses since January 1 have amount
ed to the goodly sum of $50, 16S. 900. and
it is hardly likely that this amount will
be much exceeded in the six months to
come.
AS things now look the Pennsylvania
is likely to have record year in gross
earnings, but owing to the increased
cost of labor and of materials entering
into the operation of the road the in
crease in gross Will not be fully main
tained in net. Indeed. net will have all
they can do to hold their own in COM
parison with those of, last year. A
rough estimate of net earnings for the
last half of the year places them al
sac, 900 900, or about $1,000.000 less than
for the corresponding period in the pre-
vious year, which would not cut any
figure in the dividends which the stock
holders Will receive. en- --Tser er~~

fraud, manipulation or machinery.

a SLACK EYE FOR PATTERSON
The result OF the city election in
Memphis Tuesday was as blasting q

Tic man ever received at the hands OF
his own people, ]. ]. Williams made
the race for fire and police commits
sioner at the personal solicitation OF
Gov. Patterson, and chiefly for the
purpose OF giving strength TO Patter-
son in his own county. Gov. Patter-
son went personally to Memphis and
threw himself bodily into the tight,
bringing to bear all his old-time cum
ning of a ward politician. REINFORCED
BY all the power and influence he
could command as governor OF Ten
nessee. He did this openly, notorious
ly, without concealment Gov. Pat
terson himself, by leaving his post Of
duty in Nashville and going to Mem

between him and Carmack the para
mount issue. The cry was. Williams
is the governors chiefest and most
trusted lieutenant, therefore he and
his ticket must be elected. Crump is
an enthusiastic supporter of Carmack
and so are all the men on his ticket,
therefore they must be defeated"
Result:--Out of twenty-five wards
in Memphis Williams carries
only four and these by small
majorities. Patterson's own pre-
cinct went against him. 1t is a
significant fact that every man on the
williams ticket was an avowed sup
porter of Patterson and enemy Of Car
mack Every man on the other ticket
was an avowed supporter of Carmack
and opponent of Patterson. Every
Patterson man was defeated. Every
Carmack man was elected-Crump,

TRUST LEGISLATION.

Evidence is being taken in the suit
fled by Attorney General Gates to
Gust the Standard OIL Company from
the State. because Of alleged violation
Of the antitrust laws OF Tennessee.
This brings forceably to mind the fact
that Tennessee has no adequate anti
trust legislation upon its statute
books. For this IL is has to thank
Gov. Malcolm r. Patterson, and since
his organs insist that the Governor is
the Democratic party in Tennessee.
that party will have to bear the blame
for failure to enact legislation Of this
character. But for the opposition Of
Gov. Patterson and his organs the anti
trust bill introduced In the last legis-
lature would have been passed.
The action of the Governor and his
organ at Nashville in actively promot-
ing the defeat Of legislation having
for it's purpose the curbing of the
trusts is going to place the Democrat
ic party in Tennessee in somewhat
embarrassing attitude in the next
campaign. It has been customary for
the Democratic orators to condemn in
unmeasured terms the National adj
ministration for its failure to enact
and enforce trust legislation. The
Republicans can well answer this
charge by referring to the failure Of
the Democratic State administration
to protect the public against the
rapacity of these unlawful combina-
TONS
During the sessions of the last Leg
islature the Supreme Court held that
under existing laws a money penalty |
could not be imposed upon trust for
violating the laws of the State. The
failure of the law to provide adequate
remedies cost the State $4,000, the
amount of the fine imposed upon the
Standard Oil Company in the Gallatin
case. These facts were at once
brought to the attention of the Legis-
lature by Attorney General Gates who,
as the chief law officer of the State,
drafted bill embodying the principal
features of the Texas, Ohio and Ark
ansas antitrust statutes, provisions
that had been sustained by the highest
courts in the land.
