IRONQUILL'S PENSION.
Applies for One on Behalf OF a Sol
dier's Sister.

Washington. April Eugene F.
Ware Of Topeka, 'IronquiIl." ex-com-
missioner of pensions. who used to is
sue general orders in verse at the pen
sion office, and who looked after the
interests OF nearly a million pen
sioners, while he would net apply for q
pension for himself, has made appIf-
cation for pension under the new serv-
ice pension law He will draw So q
month In making his application Mr..
Ware wrote that he never expected TO
ask for pension. but that there is
little girl in Topeka whose brother is
a soldier in the Philippines and is her
sole support
II am going to take this pension in
my own name. because I cant get II
IN her name" he wrote. and turn it
over to her.
Recently the pension bureau discon-
Cnued the custom OF making public
the names OF veterans TO whom pen
stons are granted This action was
taken because Of the uawillingness of
under the new act, to have their names
published Many thousands OF rich
men draw pensions Among the recent
applicants for original pensions ii is
said. the majority are OF this class. The
excuse many give IS that rhev desire ro
have their names on the pension rolls
for patriotic reasons. Colonel War
ner, the present com missioner OF mem
Slohs. Is Sa1d 10 nave been the first ap-
plfcant for q pension under the new
law
The application Of Mr.. Wara was
discussed with interest by pension bII-
reau officials It is said that Mr.. Ware
does not believe in the pension system
though he does believe in pensions for
really needy and deserving veterans
he always drew a line of dfsrfnc+fo7
HIS theory is that a man who served
MS country we'll and whom the conn
" afterward served SO well that he
a goes not need pension ought not ask
it. Having plenty Of money ~ his -
ne would never join the army OF men

committee of TWENTY-FIVE exnert
accountants has been at work for some
time. under the supervision Of the com
mission, preparing a system TO be uni
versally followed This committee has
about completed its Iabors and is said
10 nave supplied the best system of
railroad accounting which it Is possible
TO devise
At the head of this committee is Ex-
pert Accountant Adams Of the commits
sion- who is declared to be without a
peer in the matter of railroad account
Ing In carrying on its work the com
mittee has kept in close touch with the
railroad companies and has ascertained
their views and wishes regarding every
question on which a difference OF opfr-
ion could exist The utmost HARMONY
has been preserved, and the system TO
be adopted will be as agreeable to the
roads as IL will be satisfactory to ev-
eryone interested in the matter of rail-
road accounting There has not arisen
the slightest friction during the prog
ress OF the work
Perhaps the most prominent feature
Of the new sytem is its uniformity IN
der 1T every railroad will keep its &C
counts in exactly the same way as ev-
cry other railroad, so that every item
will mean exactly the same thing in re-
gard to the operations OF al the roads
The item Of operating expenses, for
example, will include exactly the same
expenses on the Southern Pacific as it
does on the Great Northern, and when
the term net earnings" IS used it will
mean on the Rock Island exactly what
It does on the New York Central The
utmost diversity OF methods has been
in vogue IN these respects heretofore,
and IN itself this fact has opened wide
the door for all kinds Of juggling in
railroad accounting
The new plan Is to rule not only in
respect TO interstate commerce, but in
respect to the conduct OF local traffic
1t will be a much simpler matter, here
after, for state boards of equalization
to arrive at a proper idea of the value
OF railroad property subject to taxation
than heretofore, and the cause for much
suspicion and accusations will be re-
moved Indirectly the new system may
do much TO restore public confidence in
railroad honesty.

Are Alarmed Over Legislation Pro

Texas Railway Managers association
met here yesterday in secret session TO
consider the drastic autf-raiIroad legis-
Iation now pending in Texas The two
bills which received the most consid-
Grafton vas the proposed per cent
tax on the gross earnings Of the rail-
roads and the 2-cent fare bill The
managers declared that the passage of
either of these bills would throw the
Texas roads into the hands OF a re-
cefver and the passage OF both would
mean frretrfevable ruin

and governor Of Texas. who IS now the
attorney Of the association viii draw
up a strong protest to present to the
legislature There is no doubt that
the railroad managers are seriously
alarmed over the tendency Of Iegfs-

ing backed by Gov. Campbell, whose
hostility TO railroads and corporations
IS outspoken.

The charges against Meredith. who

he had been under suspension several
weeks and had been warned that any

MOVEMENT OF CARS HEAVY.
But the Shortage VIII Continue An
other Year.

Much improvement has taken place in
the car movement situation, especially
in the southwest and west Conditions
are now said to be more favorable than
they have been at any time since last
November Much of the congestion
which has existed continuously has
been worked or and there is a toIerabIy
free movement Of freight in all direc-
lions. OF course, the car shortage has
not been overcome entirely, but when
cars are obtained they can now be
moved with much more expedition than
formerly Consequently much more
service Is being obtained from the avail
able supplies. and this is helping things
along toward normal conditions
While conditions are improving in
this manner, there IS no possibility Of
car surplus for months TO come There
still is plenty Of traffic OF all kinds in
sight to keep the roads busy and all
their equipment fully engaged until the
next crop year, when there is every pos
sibiIity Of a renewal of the conditions

GREAT NoRTHERN's PLAN.
May Use Electric Power in Montana
and DekOta-

Minneapolis. Mimi, April 6--The
Great Northern railway management IS
seriously considering electFifying that
portion of its road running through
western North Dakota and eastern
Montana, and has had an electrical en-
gineer on the ground investigating the
requirments- Owing to the large pro-
portion Of minerals carried by the
water available for the locomotives in
that section a heavy and continuous
expense is incurred in keeping the
boilers free enough from scale to in
sure reasonable efficiency To over
come this expense the road has In
some instances resOrted to hauling
in water with which 70 fill the tanks,
but this expense is also heavy. and the
use of electrical locomotives is being
considered as a means of reducing ex-
pense.
