first hree months OF the fiscal year.
The total operating revenues for
the month amounted to S2l5,9l4,342,
which includes revenues from freight
and passenger traffic. from carrying
mail and express, and miscellaneous
service
Compared with 1910, the revenues
for the month show an increase, due
largely to the increase in mileage OF
the roads In 1911, compared with
1910. This Is shown by the fact that
when reduced TO a por mile basis for
the two years. total operating reven-
ues shoT a decrease.
Revenues Show Decrease.
Thus total operating revenues per
mile Of line in 1911 amounted TO ST.
os2 "a September. and for the same
month In 1910 TO Sl,O97, showing a
decrease for 1911 OF sl5 per mile or
la per cent This decrease Is the
result Of decrease in freight reyen-
ne Of S12 per miles and in passenger
revenue Of SIS per mile.
Operating expenses amounted u
s156,997223. which Is s97i,A7i less
than in 1910. One a mileage basis,
the expenses were 1891 in September,
1911. compared with sos In Sep
TENDER, 1911, a decrease OF Sl4 a

The greatest relative decrease IN net

were many reasons for this, and they
did not all deal with geographical
problems.
AS the years passed, and the men
who were young when they gave up
all to follow the Stars and Bars,
grew older, many failed to make
success of the business they adopted
in the reconstruction days.
Others, broken in health, crippled
by wounds, incapacitated by disease,
became wards of the towns and
counties; it was some years before
the states were able to care for the
Veterans, and many of them died in
want.

elaborate reports, with blasts of hot

This proves one point: The Vets
are, in this instance, the asset which
gives the Home officials nice jobs,
and provides one days pleasant en-
tertainment for the COMMITTEE
But--there are some Of us who
have been behind the scenes, and we
know of old Vets, inmates Of these

clad in the bitter wintry weather;
whose old bodies have been under
nourished, while the officials of the

have been so bullied and brow-beaten

propriated enough to give every one
of the old chaps ample and comfort

This, in relation to the misman-
agement of the Homes was bad
enough, but there is another feature
for exploiting the Veterans of the
South that is a downright disgrace;
some of the Southern states, desiring
to help the old Veterans establish
themselves in business, adopted the
rule Of eXempting from taxation or
license fees, those of the old men
who were able to engage in business.
From many points Of view, this
was q good arrangement, until the
mercenary man, DESTROYS of lodging
the money obligations to a state,
seized on the Veteran as business
asset.
