well as all party fares based on mile
ages illegal unless accompanied by a
tariff showing the mileage over all the
lines in the territory where they are to
be honored. AS the compilation Of
such tariff is held to be a practical
impossibility, it was concluded that
the roads must withdraw from partici-
patton in all tickets and party fares
based on mileageS.
The commission states that this is
carrying it's views too far, and that
the assumption is incorrect, being
based upon criticisms by the commits
sion of provisions for hauling special
baggage cars. The commission asserts
that when the tariff states that
charges are to be at a specified sum
per mile, it is necessary to file table
of distances, but that no changes in
the requirements for the sale and use
of mileage books is contemplated. Ger
tain of the roads have of their own
volition filed tables of distances, but
this will not be enforced to other
roads

CONGRESSMAN CAIlDERHEAD.
Prominent Part Taken by Him in

Marysvtlle, Kan, July 13.-An ad-

head of this city makes the following
statement
ssThe friends OF Congressman CAL
derhead at Marysvi1Ie keep close tab
on the Fifth district. Mr.. Calderhead
will be a candidate for congress in
1910 and his friends feel confident
that he will be renominated and re-
elected. They are proud of the fact
that he occupies so prominent a
position on the ways and means COM
mittee, and that his Judgment and
conclusions have been given great
weight in the formation of the
schedules that make up the Payne
bill.
"From the time the committee met
Immediately after the election last
fall, he has given the hearings and
the debate his undivided attention,
and since the bill was reported to the
senate he has been a close student of
the amendments made and the de-
bates concerning them. When the
bill returns to the house with the
senate amendments there will not be
any member better qualified to take
part in the final adjustment of the
difference between the house and
senate than Mr.. Calderhead. The
bill will not be all that he desired,
nor will it be all that any member of
the committee desired.
Every measure having to do with
so many conflicting interests must
finally be a compromise and each in
terest must surrender something to
other interests in order to carry out
the principle on which the govern
ment was founded, the rule of the
majority.
ssWhile in some Of the schedules.
Mr. Calderhead would have written
the bill differently, he feels satisfied
that when it is finally passed 1t will
meet the approval of President Taft
and will be approved by the country
"Mr ~Calderhead has constantly
been mindful of the interests of the
Fifth district and the interests of the
state, but he has never lost sight of
the fact that we are a nation, and
it has been his di1igent effort to Sc
cure the enactment of a law that will
be for the best interest of the whole

STIMULATED TRAVEL.

Chicago, Ill, July 13.-Claim of
Illinois railroads that the 2-cent rate,
while stimulating travel to a marked
degree, had reduced the revenues of
the roads from passenger traffic al
most to the ruination point, is borne
out by comprehensive investigation
made by the Santa Fe road. The IL
linois Railroad commission insists the
law has been beneficial to the roads
The railroads say they have been
compelled to employ much addition
al equipment and to help to handle
the increased travel which did not by
a large sum compensate them for the
extra expense. The Santa Fe worked
under the operation of a similar law
II kanSas, where careful record
was kept for the first year. The
Sante Fe carried $4,000 more
passengers than it did the year pre-
Viodsly under the Scent law. Mean
while the revenues from passenger
TRAFFIC for the same period decreased
S297,O0G.
Railway men say this does not be-
gin to tell the real loss which is to
be found in the great expense for
equipment and additional employees,
the revision of schedules and the
wear and tear of property due to
more constant use. All admit that
the 2-cent rate is a great stimulus to
travel, but it spells loss for all the
roads. Notwithstanding the reduced
fares, the accommodations must be
Kept up to the former high standard
and the additional travel calls for
much additional expense, for which
there is no remuneration. While the
roads have accepted the 2-cent rate
as inevitable in some states, they re-
sent the claim by state commissions
that it has resulted in vast benefits
in a financial way to the carriers.
