The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-08-21
Historical

The Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad Company was chartered
by the Legislature of Virginia February %, 1884, under the name which it has held
continuously since that time. The line vas finally extended to Aqua Creek in 1912,
where connection ws made for Washington with steamboats, on the Potomac River.
Allral service between Richmond and Washington was not established until July,
1872, the Pennsylvania Railroad owning what is To- the Washington Southern Rail
way, between Washington and Quanhco, thirty x miles.
The r, f. & P. r. r. has what is thought o be the oldest railroad schedule in
existence, bearing the date of May 30 1896. This schedule shows fifteen hours as the
time in transit between Richmond AM Washington while the present running time
of considerably less than three hours is less than me fifth O the time consumed some
seventy odd years ago. Postal cards bearing copies of this old schedule may be OBJ
tanned free upon application to Mr.. W P Taylor, Traffic Manager
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-08-21
Train Service TO the East

As a natural consequence oil. the grat business strides made by Richmond in
atd decade, rattle between this city proper and the East has increased almost
incredibly Today through trains of anstee, electrically lighted coaches, club din
ing and parhr ears are being operated between Richmond and New York. running
daily In cache direction, and operated almost exclusively to take care of the Rich
mond business. These rains sop at Washington, Baltimore and West Phladel
.a,a and the schedule is so arranged as to reach each city al a onvenient hour
Pullman sleeping carsa also are run daily in each direction between Richmond and Phil
adelphia and New York, while the Washington to- Richmond sleeper is quite con-
vennnt to passengers from Baltimore.
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-08-21
A Modern Railroad

Many modern improvements, including the double
tracking of the Richmond Washington Line, havesrecently
been consummated, and now the line is well able to stand
comparison with any railroad in the country. Double
tracked throughout, well graded, one hundred pound steel
rail, modern block system, the latest type of motive power
and rolling stock, trains dispatched by telephone, and,
what is a source of amending pleasure to the passengers
during the sultry summer months, a washed gravel road
bed, insuring practically a justices ride over the line
at all times, as well as draining and protecting the road
way.
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-08-21
A Unique Record

While undoubtedly one of the oldest railroads in the
country, the r., +. & p. r. r. has the enviable reputation
of never having killed a passenger, and this same unique
distinction applies as well to the Washington Southern
Railway. This railway extends from Washington to
Quantico. aud was formerly a part of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. but is now under the same excellent manage
" being known as the Richmond Washington Line
and offer transportation facilities absolutely unexcelled.

TALK POLITICS IN
SCHOOL BUILDINGS?

The schoolhouses are the peoples
buildings, built with their money, to
serve their needs.
The schoolhouses often stand idle
when they night be in use. Hence
base come the social center-a meet
ing place for all the folks, free club
house for you and us.
Mind, they're OUR buildings, not
the buildings Of a few officials; and,
as OUR buildings, they're to be used
as WE want.
Yet how often do we encounter the
Dogberry attitude of which this ex-
tract from a. Cleveland newspaper
gives the clue:
thoritfes are granting. permission to
all who want to use the school build
ings nights for any legitimate pur-
pose, except the discussion of re-
lgion or politics."
You, in YOUR building, may meet
for any legitimate purpose except to
discuss two very important subjects.
Gracious, isn't it?
Do you wonder that Cleveland's
social centers, thus robbed at the
outset of all hope Of Vitality have
been a failure? "
Not discuss politics in an institu-
ton designed for the education Of d
democracy? Then why on earth
have schools? What other. excuse is
there for taxing folks to support
them?
AS for religion, if defined narrow

WHO LAUGHS LAST

AS the King went on in. his purple

Time passed-and the mighty King
lay dead
And the soldiers marched with mea-

And the tramp stood watching the

AS the dead King passed and the
dead march played;
And he said, "Poor fellow. his game

He's finished his drinks and had his
fun;
"The music'll play and the wine will
flow
And the dancers dance-but he
won't know,
And the sun will shine and the
breezell sigh
And color and life will greet the eye.
"And jewels will sparkle and birds
will sing,
But he won't know it-that poor
dead King.

And I'm the fellow who envied him!

But he's got the bulge on q King

And whispered, smiling, "Goodby,

NEW HAVEN ROAD DON'T
:. NEED RATE IN CREASE

The new president Of the New
Haven road, Howard Elliott, is retail
ing the woes of the railroads In fail
ing to get capital for. safety and i'm
provements because railroad rates are
too low. This is the plant of the
man who digs his own grave, falls
into it and shouts to the passersby to
pull him out. declares. the Milwaukee
Journal. Il y. st tss<
The New Haven and other railroads
have created their own troubles. For
many decades the New Haven paid a
liberal per. cent in dividends. I'm
provements We're neglected. Train
wrecks We're ignored even if they
pointed Enthusiastically to deficient
equipment. mo Sther words, the road
was MIXED. for the benefit of stock
holders. The company might have
paid per cent steadily and still had
ample money for new cars. new rails
and up-to-date signal apparatus. But
the call of the stakeholder was stem
torrian, the call of the passenger
feeble. The = stockholder got the
money a:
The New Haven doesn't need higher
rates. It doesn't need to borrow great
sums to bring the road up to a high
standard Of efficiency. Let it meg
lect" the stockholders for a time. Re-
duce the dividend below the per
cent or abolish it until earnings bring
the road back to fine condition. The
stakeholder has had a long inning. He
has taken too much out of the earn
ings. Let the people come to bat
noww. Let service be the watch
word rather than the dividend.
In the long run the stakeholder
wWill benefit by perfect physical
roadbed and equipment. Profits will
flow in In a steady streaem. Divi-
dends can be restored and may, prob
ably will, wax higher and richer than
ever. The Hartman Hines with their
emphasis on physical requirements re-
warded stockholders with a. streaem
of profits as amazing as an oil
gusher. The stockholders got their
ultimate reward for money spent for
improvements.
These new expenditures for build
ing, however, must not be capitalized.
Capital is an ogre that demands con-
slant rewards. When the capital is
Increased more and more rapidly,
profits fail to- keep pace and there is
the constant temptation to slight i'm
provements SO that dividends shall
remain intact. The railroads of Eng
land offer a solemn warning against
the evil of over-capitalization. Every
stick and stone almost is capitalized
in John Bulls country and the profit
end of the business is in a constant
scramble to keep pace with the
mounting demands Of capital. The
smaller the capital the lower the
basis on which profits must be earned.
The plea of an increase of freight
rates whenever a railroad gets in a
pinch is wrong. If this were allowed,
most of our railroad managers would
be finding Financial pinches'' with
great frequency, The temptation
would be to howl about trouble and
then grab a freight raise to stop the
noise. Our rates; can not go on in
creasing Indefinitely. Methods OF
economy must offset higher expendi-
lures of operation if there are such
not the oldtime pirate policy of dig
ging into the publics pockets for any
thing wanted by rail magnates.
