Accidents are SO numerous in some
sections of the United States that
travelling men feel it necessary to
take out accident policies when they
start on a long journey. The Railway
Magazine says "a British railway is
the safest place on the earth" and in
proof of that statement y
Only one passenger in every TO-
100000 in England is killed and one
in every $500, 600 injured. This de-
duction is based upon a careful survey
Of the Board of Trade report on rail
way accidents during the year 1907.
Last year the rumber Of fires in trains
amounted to ITO, but it should be ex-
planned that many of these were of
the most trifiing description"

mestic affairs are being conducted on
that basis"

AGREE WITH PRESIDENT.
Mr.. Dillard-Mr Munroe Won viii
note, as ! have stated &c. that the Utah
complaint is founded on a conserva-
i've mileage basis / sec that the
president here few days since cat
the Commercial club is quoted as
having stated that In his opinion the
people of Utah and Salt Lake do not
want and II would not do for them to
have mileage basis Of making rates
lt That statement was made by the
president. Is Your judgment the same
as the presidents ON that point, or
does II differ from his?
Mr.. MunrOe-Tho same.
Mr.. Dillard-Just state In a general
way why you think that the MILEAGE
basis OF rates would not be best for
the merchants OF Utah
Mr.. Munroe-Well l believe the
prosperity OF Utah depends more large
~ upon agricultural than upon any
other ono product. and ! believe ,he
prosperity OF any state depends more
largely upon their exports than upon
their imports-the marketing Of the
products. Now, the agricultural states
with which Utah has TO compete are
nearer the consuming market and the
nNInFlnIA
the Utah points OF origin world act
as detriment 10 this intermountaiu
country and would impose a higher
schedule OF rates than would permit IL
marketing with as much profit as 9th

There is also being raised I'm THIS in

a potato substantially similar IN dual

basis would mean that these potato
producing points up here would he
subjected TO a charge to the CONSUME
ing market Of 80 ner cent more than Il
PAD from Colorado. That would mean
mat these (Utah and Idaho) growers
would receive from 10 10 II cents less
than they now receive and would
represent difference I'm proft and
loss. As matters are TODAY we (the
Union Pacifc) ignore mileage entirely
IN the adjustment Of our rates from
the east and south from this utah
and Idahol section. Now. believe
that this Is the wise plan TO follow,
the establishing Of as low difference
as We (the Union Pacifc) can AFFORD
and thus market the greater volume OF
tonnage. The differential today be-
tween Utah and Idaho on the one
hand, as compared with Colorado. 10

This Is one thought that occurs to me
in consideration Of this question
Mr. Dillard-You do. then. consider
Utah In your general principle so as 10
adjust the rates so that Utah products
may reach the market OF consumption >
Mr.. Munroe-That is our aim.
