RAILROADS CLAIM TO RECEIVE
INSUFFICIENT PAY FROM u. S.

New York, July 29,-That the pres
ent plan of paying the railways for
carrying the mail results in great in
justice to the railroads is set forth to-
day in a statement issued by the rail
roads as part of their plan of appeal
ing to the public for support.
Railroads are now paid by two meth
DDS of measurement
1. According to the weight hauled
each mile; and
2. For each mile a postal car is
used for sorting mails en- route.
The railroads claim, however, that
the nation does not pay for the entire
weight carried or all the car space util-
lied for sorting. In detail:
1. Weight. Ninety per cent of all
the money paid to the railroads is for
the weight of mail carried. The law
stipulates that the mail shall be weigh
ed for a typical period at least once
every four years and that payment
shall be made during the entire period
according to the average weights then
actually ascertained. In practice, the
postoffce department has construed
this law to mean that the mails shall
be weighed not oftener than every four
years. The result is that though there
is a constantly increasing weight of
mail, the railroads receive no payment
whatever for the increase until the
next quadrennial weighing period,
when a basis is arrived. at which shall
govern the payments to be made for
the succeeding four years.
An illustration of the injustice of this
quadrennial weighing system is in the
fact that just after the weighing of the
mails in Ohio in 1907, the printing of
stamped envelopes and newspaper
wrappers was changed from New Eng
hand to Dayton, Ohio, so that many
railroads have been required to handle
this traffic for four years without COM
pensation, while other roads have been
receiving for the same period compen

sation for services not performed.
This principle is at present working
great hardship to many railroads. The
parcels post started January /, 1918,
and Immediately there was great in
crease of mail and reduction of ex-
press matter for which the railroads
had been previously paid. Congress
has allowed per cent increase in
pay to compensate for the parcels
post, but the records already indicate
that the governments postal revenues
will increase this year from 20 to 30
per cent on account of the parcels
post.
The government makes no additional
payment. for speed or for frequency
of service. There is no greater pay
accorded the railroads for carrying
mails at a speed of sixty miles per hour
than for fifteen miles per hour There
is no greater pay for 100 trips a day
than for one trip a day. The aggre-
/ sue NClSIlI VI lldll Cdllltu, anu lhSlS-
for the pay, is the same, whatever the
speed or whatever the frequency with
, which it is carried.
The railroads maintain, therefore,
! that while weight is the proper meas
! ure of pay, it should be ascertained
, every year and paid for accordingly.
2. Railway Postal Car Service. To
facilitate the distribution of mail en-
route, the railways have provided 1883
travelling postal cars. The mileage
made by full railway postoffice cars of
all sizes in the performance of service
during the fiscal year 1912 was 1885,
79S.405. Passenger cars on American
railroads the same year yielded reve-
nue. of about rs cents for each mile
run. If the railway postal cars had
yielded as much per mile, it would have
amounted to a total of $31 ,699,601

this season by Mrs. Elizabeth Boudin

Your daughter, Mr.. Grain Merchant,
has been invited to spend the week

leading banker at their place on the
lake. You are rather set up by the
invitation. The bankers family are
social leaders. You do not worry
about what sort of entertainment your
daughter will share. Let me give you
an idea of the modern weekend party.
"A musician recently told me about
his experience at the country house
of a successful real estate operator.
He was asked to dedicate costly
new organ which the host had in
stalled in his magnificent stone man.
sion, The guests included the real
estate mans sons, daughters, grand
children and near neighbors. The af-
fair was quite informal, and the mu-
sician soon found that the organ had
little attraction for the guests. 1t was
dear Grandpa's fad. Rarely had this
man handled a finer organ, so he
played the program with enthusiasm
but his audience scattered with evil
dent relief.
The older men and women drifted to
the card room to play bridge. Here
at intervals, servants passed highly
seasoned food and sparkling drinks,
The younger element, varying in age
from fifteen to twenty, begged the
musician to abandon the organ for the
piano, Bach aRd Handel for ragtime
and they were soon writhing through
the Turkey Trot, Bunny Hug and
Tango Dance. When weary, they
stopped long enough to refresh them
selves with caviar, lobster, pate de
fois gras and punch with just enough
champagne in it to brighten the eye
and flush the cheek.
