There VIII be no more private cars

tering the southwest. If the present
movement to abolish this particular

Instead Of the private car Of the rail-
road official IN which he rode with
more or less splendor. the railroads
are urging the adopting Of a new type
Of car. the office or business car. which
will be the cOmpany's office on wheels
and will merely be occupied by the
official in charge Instead OF a corps
Of clerks private secretaries and negro
servants, the office car Of the modern
railroad Official viii be the travelling
office of the company and anyone hav-
ing business with the official who
works in it viii be as welcome as a
water hole in the desert.
The railroads are abOHshing the term
private car as rapidly as the cars can
be 0Verhauled and converted into real
having all of its cars converted from
private palaces to office cars. The
Santa Fe has long ago dropped the
tabooed term, and all Of the railroad
cars on this system are labeled bust
ness cars" The one occupied BY F. z.
Summers. superintendent Of the Rio
Grande division, bears this label, and
