EFFECT OF rive CENT RATE
Earnings OF Michigan Railroads
Under New Law Are Quite
Satisfactory.

In accordance with the statute the va
rious railroad of the State have fled
in the Michigan Railroad Commission
statement showing their gross earnings
of October. November and December.
1907. The two-ceut law having taken
effect September 2sth. 1907. these fig
ures are the first available in con-
sideration of the effect of the two
cent law on the earnings Of the roads.
In advocating the passage of the two
cent law before the last session of the
Legislature it was the contention of
Governor Warner and Commissioner
of Railroads Glasgow that the pas
sage of such law would not mater
tally affect the gross earnings of the
companies by reason of the increase In
travel under the lower rate. The
Commission are very glad to be able to
say to the people of Michigan that
the facts at hand go very far to sus-
tain this contention.
We have prepared tabulation of
these quarterly earning statements
which Is worthy of careful consider
alton. In its tabulstion we have
compared the passenger and freight
earnings of the months referred to
in 1907 with the same months in 1906
and do not hesitate to say that such
comparison vindicates the Michigan
two cent law and demonstrates that
while it is of the greatest benefit to
the people of the State. 1t is not in
furious or unjust to the railroads 1t
is to be remembered that during a
portion of the months referred to in
1901 the business of the railroads was
very seriously reduced by the financial
scare and for this reason In comparing
the earnings under the old law In

County Athletics. Contest Will be
Held on Davis Field May 70
-Rousins Time Promised
MEETING Hello At ITHACA
Two.Classes Of Prizes and Three Prizes
In Each Contest Another Meet
Ing Held Ma ch 21st.

At the January meeting of the
Gratiot County Teachers association
the subject of school athletics was
given considerable attention and
suggestion was made that some kind
of an organization be formed for the
purpose of fostering the right athletic
spirit in the schools of the county. The
matter was left in the hands of the
committe composed of ten superin-
tendents and principals
This committee met last Saturday in
Commissioner C. F. Pixies Office
and decided to hold a field day for
the schools of the county on Davis field
Alma, May ga. 80
There are to be two classes of con-
tests at that time. one open to pupils
in high school grades In schools having
more than two teachers, the other
open to pupils of rural schools and
pupils In grades below the high schools.
The list of events for the former. class
is as follows: so yard dash. 100 yard
dash, 900 yard dash, 40 yard dash, 4
mile dash. mile dash. 4 mile relay,
100 ward high hurdle, 220 yard low
hurdle. pole vault, high jump. = broad
jump, IL pound shot. IL pound hammer
and discus. The list of events for the
second class is the same as the fore
going except there is no high hurdle
and the low hurdle is 100 yards in
stead of 900 yards.
1t was decided to give first, second
and third prizes for each event in
each class, the first prize to be medal
and the second and third prizes. to be
ribbons.
1t was suggested by one member of
the committee that this day could be
made doubly eventful by adding to
the athletics contests regular eighth
grade graduation exercises. at which
time the pupils who have finished the
work of the eighth grade in the dis
trict school should assemble listen
to an address by some educator and
receive-their diplomas Commissioner
Pike seemed much interested in this
suggestion and If it is possible to do
so he will arrange to have such an
eighth grade graduation at the time
of field dav. BY means of such a
doubly important occasion the young
people would be encouraged tore
main in school until they should re-
ceive at least high school education.
Supt. f. e. Ellsworth, of Alma, was
chosen to prepare constitution and
bylaws and to present them at the
next meeting of the association which
will re held March 81.
So many valuable suggestions were
offered by, Prof. J. G. Harper, ath-
letic trainer in Alma College. that
he was chosen member of the COM
mittee.
