Commissioner Lane Says Railroads
Revenues For the Year Ending in
June Broke AL Records.

Washington, sSpecial-In the opin-
ion of Franklin X. Lane, Interstate
Commerce Commissioner, the rail
road, industrial and financial condi-
ton of the country is improving rap
idly. "It is fact" said he "hard-
ly believable, but nevertheless true,
that the total operating revenue per
mile of railroads for the year ended
June Both, 1908, exceeds that of any
other year in the history of railroad
ing in the United ,tates except the
one year of 1907. The average ope-
rating revenue per mile of line per
month for the 226,00O miles of rail
road reporting to the commission was
1894, for the fiscal year of 1908.
This was less by about SCI than For
the year 1907; but it was more than
any preceding year, and was Sis per
mile per month more than in the year
of the last presidential election. As
I predicted, a local car shortage even
now exists. Conditions rapidly are
becoming normal and prosperous"
