Pennsylvania Fights Cut.

, The following statement has been
authorized on behalf of the Pennsyl.
Ilapia;
Ohio being Il pioneer state In the
enactment OF two-cent fare laws It's
~tApertenrt Is constantly referred to
IN the discussion OF Il similar law In
Pennsylvania. In Ohio excursion
rat"S, clerical rates, and special rates
tof all kinds have been almost entirely
Withdrawn. The state now pays twice
fas much for transportation OF the
national guard as 1t did before the
t"o-cent law was passed. The mum,
oer pf trains DISCONTINUED II not large
bat+ many. communities have been In
convenienced greatly by the reduction
IN service that the railroads have. been
forced to make.
How serious was the effect of the
withdrawal of excursion rates may be
Judged from the fact many summer
resorts have been forced to close be.
cause of loss of business. The low
accumulation rates and frequent local
Express service. prevailing In Penn.
sylVania were unknown In Ohio. Con.
sequently there 81 NO basis Of compar.
icon between the Two states in this
respect. In SO far as conditions are
similar. Ohio's experience bears out
the prediction that the effect OF a two
cent law i'm Pennsylvania will be the
raising Of rates which are now below
that figure.
This will mean. In the ease of the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad, that TIM per
cent of its patrons who now pay less
than two cents a mile, will pay more.
The beneficiaries will be the 271a per
cent of occasional travellers who pay
two and one-half cents a mile.
One criticism likely to be heard,
concerning the foregoing Is In refer
cnce to the second paragraph, and
with reference to summer resorts
being forced to close. No such re-
sorts are specifically named, nor IS
their location, and it will be seriously
questioned under the circumstances,
whether the statement Is actually fair
and accurate.

that 1t was passed without a single
objection In the senate will serve to
redouble the efforts of those who ad-
vocate such legislation to secure its
passage at the next session. : -:
A.; The reason that the item went out
of the bin was because railroad, men
have been declaring that electric
lighting as applied to railroad trains
is still in the experimental stage.
And yet declare those who believe in
the proposed legislation. every rail
road in the United States which runs
a widely advertised train makes the
most of the fact that It Is electrically
lighted. and that all OF the finest
trains in the country are so: lighted,
while in the majority of cases n
other light Is provided. The advo-
Gates of such a law regard this as a
complete answer to the statement
that the adoption of electricity would
require also the installation of an
lother lighting systern%for use emer
gencies. There are statistics on file
at the interstate m commits
sion showing that more people are
killed on passenger trains as a result
of fires resulting from wrecks than
from the wrecks themselves. This
has caused the Pullman company to
begin a series of experiments with
steel cars equipped with electric
|1fehts. It is shown that. tthe same
principle applies to mails cars and
their occupants.
The. railway mail clerks point out
that the government pays the highest
rate for its mail cars that is paid for
Ithe Hentaljof any class Of cars in the
United States. At the same time no
private enterprise pays anywhere
NEARLY such a high transportation rate
