Another Side of the Anti-COr-
pOratiOn Question.
Commissioner OImStead of New
York Gives. Views.
LACK OF MONEY IN EAST
Only % Out of IS Roads Paid
Dividends.
other Items of Interest IN the
Traffic World.

When John B. Olmstead. of Buffalo,
was proposed for public service COM
missioner of the state of New York,
some of his friends said he was too
much of an anarchist for that position
or any in which he would have to deal
with large franchised corpora tons Mr..
Olmstead said. himself. in his address
upon retiring from office Il came into
office with decided leanings toward the
p Incorporation view of public utility
questions
But Mr.. Olmstead's views changed
with increasing knowledge of the facts
relating to these corporations
Want of knowledge Is to the precise
point involved said he, Il have found
in many cases to be the principal cause
of the prejudices l then entertained.
Experience has taught me that there
is another side to these questions, and
one not lightly to be dismissed
For instance, held the view, as
/ imagine many other person holds that
view, that the New York Central rail-
road is greatly over-ca pitalized, and is
paying dividends on a large amount of
what is popularity known as water.
Wien it came to my knowledge as a
part of the evidence of a long inVestiga-
ton in the Buffalo, Rochester & East
ern that the estimated cost of that
company's 300 miles of railroad from
Troy to Buffalo, planned without ade-
quate allowances for terminal yards
and facilities at either end, and touch
ing but one or two large centerS of
population. was approximately 500, 000,-
900, 1 came to the view that the New
York Central. with its four tracks
running through the heart of so many
great cities of the state. with all the
attendant advantages to freight and
passenger business. and with approxi-
matelY 500 miles more trackage. includ-
ing the vast and valuable terminal
facilities of New York City, might pos
sibly on a valuation measure up to five
times that of the B. r. & e.
Mr. Olmsted's experience taught him
that a great change had transpired in
the attitude of the men at the head
of the great corporations toward the
public and the public's right of CEN
sorship. In his own relations with
them he had found them uniformly fair
and ready to cooperate with reasonable
measures.
On the matter of dividends. about
ich there is so much misa pprehen-
sion. Mr.. Olmsted said:
'One great difficulty with certain
corpora tions is the lack of means to
carry out the improvements to the serv-
ice which their operating men admit
would be advisable and desira BILE"
Then he recites some figures from
our last annual report which are not
only Illuminating, but amazing to
many. He says:
''Out of seventy-eight steam railroads
reporting to the commission in New
York. only twenty-seven paid any divi-
dends for the current year. Out of 1854
electric railroads. light. heat and power
and gas corporate ons. only 127 paid divi-
dends.''

RECORD IN FRISCO EARNINGS.
March Reports Exceed All High
Figures of Former Years.

New York, March 21.-A. S. Greig,
vice president of the St. Louis & San
Francisco railroad. who left here to-
day for St. Louis said: 'In the first
week of March the Frisco had the
largest business and the largest gross
earnings for that week in the COM
pany's history. February business
also was good. the only sore spot in
the entire situation being coal traffic.
Unexampled prosperity exists in the
southwest. st. Louis is filled with
buyers from the entire southwest re-
gion. A great deal of grain has been
moved, but much grain traffic re-
mains. Lumber. agricultural products
and merchandise are all producing
large traffic. More home seekers than
ever before are going into Texas and
other southwestern states Had we
had severe winter, coal traffic on
top of the volume of other kinds of
traffic, would have caused extra ordi-
nary earnings. On account of the
mild winter, coal business so far in
March has fallen rather flat. Not
withstanding the slowness of coal traf
fic, however. and twenty eight days
against twenty-nine, February car
ioadings increased per cent. 1 see
no sign of any diminution of traffic
for a long while to come"

Kansas City, Mo-, March 21.-No
other city in the United States, outside
