Railroads i'm Nebraska Realize
More Under TWO.Cent Fare.
Old Rates of Union Pacific Ay.
eraged a Fraction Less.
TRAFFIC INCREASES,
Both Freight and Passenger
Business Unusually Heavy.
Other Items CT Interest to
Railway People.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 22-Instead of the
new two-cent railroad fare law having
reduced the rates in Nebraska. it has
actually increased the average rate per
mile in this state, according to the re-
port of the Union Pacific, which has
just been filed with the state railway
commission.
Since the two-cent law was enacted
the Union Pacific and other Nebraska
railroads have been charging full two
cents per mile. Nc excursion rates, no
of any d-a in fact, nothing less
than a straight two-cent fare ticket is
now sold in Nebraska.
The report which has just beer made
public shows that last year the average
passenger travelled in Nebraska at the
rate of 1876 cent per mile.
The passenger receipts of Union Pa
cihc for four months of 1907 are IS, 900
per month greater h the receipts for
the same period of 1906 under the rates
previously charged. The commission
believes a thorough examination of the
report will develop still greater profits
under the new law and the rate expert
employed by that body is now search
ing the report for traces of manipuIa-
ton of the figures in an effort to con
vince the public that the new law is
confscatory and is working a hard
ship on the railroads.
busIness f1edVy.
The volume of business is the larg-
est in the history of western railroads.
Every road west of the Missouri river
has more business than it can handle.
Every passenger train is filed to the
aisles and freight is congested at every
terminal and division point to a degree
never before known.
Already the freight blockade is al
most as bad as during the worst tie
up of last yea and railroads say it
is only a question of the time when
snow falls before the tie-up will be
complete.
Since the new rate went into effect
the Union Pacific has added several
new trains between Omaha and Ogden
and has under consideration the addi-
ton of yet another train both east and
west.
The Burlington is fixed no better than
the Union Pacific in the way of being
able to care for traffic. Every piece of
motive power and every coach IN which
the wheels will turn has been placed
in commission |

WILL WITHDRAW CARS.
Pullman Company Refuses to Pay
Taxes to Texas

Chicago. Oct. 22-In all probability

for a time at least. of Pullman Sleep
ing car accommodation The Pullman
has signifed its intention of
wing from operation in thar
state rather than pay a levy of $780,

against it. Should It resort to the ex-

be the first time it has a resort to
that expedient- In 1881 the legislature
of Texas passed a law levying a tax OF
So a train mile on the mileage upon

OF course, that was prohfbitory. It
would have more than used up the en-
tire passenger earnings of every road
in the state. The Pullman
at once withdrew its cars from inter-
state traffic in Texas and did not re-
sumo it until the act was declared UNI
constitutional by the supreme court of
Texas more than a ear later. This
legislature, however, has not overcome
its disposition to treat the
harshly and doubtless the threatened
withdrawal on this occasion will be
carried into effect unless what is re-
