A Wonderful Evolution.

Impressive facts concerning the de-
velopment of electric railways are
brought to notice by the convention OF
the American Electric Railway associa-
ton recently in session in Atlantic City.
Trolley systems have become such a
familiar institution with us that we fail
to consider the rapidity with which
they have grown from small beginnings.
single car driven by electricity in the
United States, and now there are 1850
electric railways in this country with
$4,000 cars running on $4,000 miles OF
track and carrying 10000 000, 900 passen-
gers year. The gross annual income
of these railways is $40, 000,0 900, their
capitalization $4,000. 100000, their en-
ployes are 100000 in number and their
payrolls amount to $3.50, 000,0 900 year.
These figures mean a tremendous
achievement, but the end is far from
being reached. Not only is the mileage
of these roads steadily increasing, but
great progress is being made every year
in the way of improved devices and
methods of operation. The building of
high speed electric roads designed for
heavy traffic and electrifying of steam
roads tend to establish close relationship
between street railway system and the
old time railway companies and the use
of electricity in transporting is a means
of developing great hydro electric plants
from which cheap power Is available for
a variety of uses. 1t is wonderful
evolution, and only the initial stage has
been witnessed thus far.-[Springield

OUR PENSIONERS.

James L. Davenport, the former resi-
dent of Hinsdale N. H., who is commits
sloner of pensions in Washington, plans
to effect a saving of $4,000 year by
paying pensioners direct by check with
out the use of vouchers. The saw
ing to the pensioners will amount
to about 81, 900, 900. Besides the in
dorsement on the back the proposed
plan will require certfication by two
witnesses as to identity. During the
past year the government paid out in
pensions s157, 1926, 100, a decrease of 3d.,
49S,15 compared with the previous year.
Since the foundation of the government
1920, 1881, $50 has been paid in pensions

ped from the roll and 26,200 added
leaving a net loss of 2S.9S5 pensioners
The total number at the end of the year
was 1922, 09S, the smallest since 1892.
Methods of economy resulted in a de-
crease of the cost of administration by
$14O,546, the amount being $2,5l7,127, the
lowest since 1882.
The number of soldiers and sailors on
the pension roll at the close of the fiscal
year was $40, $50; dependents and widows
321,642, and army nurses 400 There
were 529,SSi survivors of the Civil war,
