OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE FINAN-

Bank at Wa-keeDey- state of Kansas. at the

1910.

of operating express cars. What did
the express companies get? The
net sum of S90,0OO,000, after all
expenses were paid and improvements
in plant made. .#.
Of course, there is a difference be
tween express and freight. Express
is carried on fast passenger trains and
is delivered to the consignee, while
freight goes on slow trains and is not
delivered, This justifies an advanced
charge for carrying express. If such
a charge were not made, the express
cars would be so overladen with
freight that the passenger trains
could not run. There would be
intolerable delays at every station.
Evidently the railroads could afford
to perform this service more cheaply
than it is being performed. They
ought to do so, instead of giving out
side corporations the fat pickings.
Then if the business grows too large,
let express trains be run in the thickIy
settled portions of the country, and
let the mail pouches take care of the
business in the more sparsely settled
regions.
There does not seem to be any rea.
son why the Government should not
make a beginning with a parcels post,
any more than there is for the rail
roads ~neglecting their duty as com
mon carries in the matter of express.
the wh"ie question involved is, Oil
the one side, that of the railroads deal
ing fairly by their W stockholders,
and, on the other, that of their giving
the public good service aud fair rates
without discrimination 49, Minneapolis

WHY is AN EXPRESS COMPANY

Why are express companies neces
sary at all? Why should not the
railroads perform this service for the
public, instead of delegating it to
separate corporations that add to the
cost of it? The Philadelphia North
American says:
Under the terms Of every charter
granted to any railroad in any State,
the railroad covenants to carry, not a
part, but all of the freight originating
along its lines at fair rates, and with
out discrimination against either in
dividuals or communities.
The North. American declares
further that the granting by railroads
of contracts to express companies to
carry certain kinds of freight on their
lines at an advanced price, is a subter
fuge whereby the railroad officials
skim off the cream for others, thus
defrauding their own stockholders as
well as the public.
In 1907 the gross earnings of the
express companies were $210, 1000, 900,
and their operating expenses were
S1l4,000,000, almost half of which
went to the railroads for ~transporta,
ton. This left SOC, 100000 as profits,
out of which the railroads got moth.
ing, just what became of these pro
fits is not quite cleal. 1t appears that
six millions We're spent on the plants
and that orty-three millions were in
vested in stocks, and bonds, mostly
railroad, to earn further profits for
the express stockholders. The re-
mainder went into dividends and
surplus account, while stock dividends
were distributed in order to account
for greater cash dividends in future.
1t is evident that the greatest and
almost the only resource of the ex-
press companies is their contracts
with the railroads, and that this re-
source is capitalized at an absurd
figure because of the tremendous pro
fits it yields. What did the railroads
get out of their express business in
1907 The gross sum of S57, 2, 900.
Out of that they had to pay the cost

A. D. Smith and family were sum
moned by phone on Tuesday last to
Parker because of a sad accident
which caused the sudden death of a
child of Mrs. Smiths sister. As we
understand, the child in some way
fell into hot water with fatal result.
Miss Mabel Randall, another sister of
Mrs. Smith, had been visiting for a
few days at the Smith home, and with
the family returned to share the
grief, and offer sympathy to the
stricken family. Such accidents seem
doubly sad when it is remembered
that a little more thoughtful care
would have prevented them.
A very light vote was polled in
Mathews township at the primary on

especially in county affairs, aside
from what personal friendship would
prompt, the voters cared little which
