Charges for Carrying Mails on
Railroads,

A Committee representing 26s rail-
road companies operating 80 percent of
the mileage in the United States has
issued pamphlet stating their side of
the question in answer to the Post
Master Generals proposed reduction
in thepayment to railroads for carrying
mail.
The Post Master General reported to
Congress that material reduction in
payment now made to railroads for
carrying mail could be made, if the
basis of payment was changed.
He arrived at this conclusion by
assuming that the railroads would be
properly compensated if they received
sum equal to the operating expenses
and taxes attributable to the carriage
of mails, plus six per cent of the sum
these items.
The Committee claims the mere
statement of this method discloses the
fact that it makes no allowance for any
return upon the fair value of the rail-
road property employed in the service
of the public, it being well recogniz-
ed fact that railroad Is entitled to
earn over and above its operating ex-
penses and taxes, an amount that will
be sufficient to pay interest on its
funded debt, rentals on leased and op-
Grated properties and dividends to its
stock holders.
No provision is made in the Post
Master Generals plan for any add
itonal compensation to be paid rail-
roacs for carrying the anticipated in
creased mail tonnage resulting from the
of the Parcel Post January
l. 1913
In 1901 of the total postals receipts
ther re was paid to railroads for carrying
mail 33 per cent and for other expenses
of the PostalDepartment 67 per cent.
In 1911 there was paid to railroads for
carrying mail q per cent and for other
expenses of the department 79per cent.
showing that while expenses of the de-
partment other than carrying mail on
railroads far increased II per cent
there has been corresponding decrease
at the expense of the railroads, and it
must be remembered that the purchas-
ing power of the railroad dollar has
in a like or greater ratio
owing to advances in wages, taxes and
prices of material, supplies and equip
ment.

The Balkan War.

Nearly every reporter is hazarding
guesses as to the relative value of the
military systems on trial thousands of
miles away from the end of his tele-
graph wire, to be able to do this re-
quires more courage than intelligence.
We are told that Germany trained the
Turkes, France the Bulgarians But as
to the showing made, we understand
that war is fought with biscuits quite
as much as with bullets. The Turk had
soft soap doled out to him instead of
ammunition, then how, could he con-
tinue to be terrible?
We are told that the German army
is somewhat in the condition of an
overtrained athlete. But who imagines
for a moment that the German system
was given a fair trial in the Balkan
war. Even with bread and shell plenti-
full, the Turks might have failed to do
themselves and the German system
justice in the field. The Turk has fought
for years as an individual star. He has
never known team work. He is like
the wild horse of our western plains
Bride him with an elaborate system
unadapted to his habits and you take
the heart out of him.
He is the sick man of Europe and by
the time the international doctors get
through with him. we regard it as GER
tain that he will lose his appendix.
