THE MATTER OF FREIGHT RATES
Some Facts of Interest and Impor-
lance Concerning Railroad Rev
enues and Expenses.

Peoria Herald-Transcript: Figures
expressed in billions are incompre..e en-
sible. From the reports of the Inter
state Commerce commission for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1908, we
learn that the total receipts of the
233.67S miles OF railroads from trans
portation and from investments aggre-
gated s2.457, S21.131: their expenses
for operation and maintenance. ST.
669, 93s,117, leaving as net revenue AND
income s7S7.SS2,414 out of which taxes
and interest must be paid before divi-
dends. These are large amounts, but
it must be reflected that there are
S65 days in the year, and even a
single mile OF busy railroad is quite
an institution.

TIE WAY 10 SUCCESS.

Mr.. Hubbell is the richest man in
Des Moines if not in all Iowa. He is,
therefore. qualified to speak as an ex-
pert on the subject of accommodating
wealth. In recent interview in the
Register and Leader he said:
Extraordinary brightness is not a
necessary element of success and 1t
is my opinion that any young man
who will observe at least four rules
viii come out on top. In the first
place, the youth beginning his career
must be economical. for without econ
omy he can not make any headway.
Next ne must be industrious, other
wise his economy viii do him little
thought is worse than a small salary
carefully saved Coupled with his
economy and industry the youth must
have unbounded faith in his ability
and pride in his health. The latter
IS one of the great factors OF success;
health being the mainstay of progress
in any line of work Ny advice to the
boy is to harbor his health, apply
himself industriously and follow rigid
rules OF economy and he will undoubt-
edly find the road to success.

the average gross earnings per mile
per day were s2s.s2; the average ex
