CONVENIENT OWNERSHIP.

Editor index;
Pour article in The Index entitled
Government Ownership" and
especially the question asked by the
gentleman from New York. is
there any considerable sentiment
out here in favor of government
ownership of railroads." is a ques-
ton that every voter should ask
himself and should not answer until
he has made a thorough study of
the railroad subject. especially the
freight question, as freight rates
enter into every business transaction,
directly or indirectly almost with
out exception, in which the people
engage.
Believing that rs per cent of the
people would favor government
ownership if they understood the
actual conditions, | herewith submit
few figures for the benefit of your
readers and invite their careful
study:
On page 10 Of the Report of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
for the year 1904 we find the follow
ing pertinent llgufSS.
1.-The total number of tons of
freight reported as carried was L.

same report we find the following
figures giving gross earnings in de-
tail: Freight revenue 81 1888, 020,-
026." Thus we find by dividing the
gross earnings by the total number
of tons carried for the year 1904

or anywhere in the United States)
to be fraction less than $l.03 per
ton or 5 cents per cwt. That would

York or to Nampa cost 500 AS it
is, | pay $50 to Nampa, just two and
one half times the average rate paid
in the United States at the present {
time. 1t looks like discrimination
against Emmett to me. Does it to a
you? n
Again: In the report for the year
1905 on page "a: The number of @
tons carried, 1,309, 800, 1885," and on o

We send our letters to New York, II

laughter was hysterical, it was also
defiant and fearless.

too delicious. Do you think | have
