TWO CENT FARE LAW
CUTS RAILROADS. PROFITS

Chicago. Sept. 2.--The 2-cent a milo
law in Illinois worked out badly for at
least n railroad, though 1t stimulated
travel enormously, the increase shown
by the Chicago & Alton for 1907 being
u per cent, $3.50, 766 more passengers car
ried.
The railroads. of course, opposed the
law vigorously, but vainly, declaring it
would prove a hardship to them, but
the answer generally was: Your traffic
will Increase SO much that you will
make money by the reduction"
The story is disproved by fact, 1t
seems. The figures compiled by the
Alton in getting at the result Of the
"2-cent law" are interesting. The av-
erage passenger rate per mile for local
n through business was reduced from
$.0206 to $.01S5. which explained a re-
duction of sos. 7S3 In the net earnings.
