Thus it can be seen that on the basis
of the persent rates the railroads
pay back to the public in one way
and another practically every dollar

as the idea has prevailed in the
minds of many that the railroads are
owned by a few rich men, so the
thought has also found deep root
that they collect millions of dollars
from the public which go into the
Golfers of a handful OF millionaires,
and which are permanently with
drawn from the thrift and industry
of the people.
At the close of the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1913, the records at
Washington show that the railroads
of the United States had collected a
gross income from all branches of
their service amounting to $3,l1S,-
929,31S. OF this sum, $l,373,83O,-
589 was paid out for labor--or, to
put it in another way, almost 80
cents out OF every dollar they took
in was Immediately paid out to the
hundreds OF thousands of men and
women whom they employ in the
conduct of their business. For main
tenance OF way, equipment, depots,
ETC., they disbursed 1929, 1877, 49l-
or almost another thousand million
dollars-and in this vast item the
reader can grasp what railroad pros
perity means to the great steel mills,
the lumber and coal industry, the
big car and locomotive building con-
Germs, and other sources Of railroad
supplies. In taxes they paid out the
enormous sum of $129,052,922,
which helped to maintain the public
schools, public highways and other
revenue expenses OF every state,
county and incorporated town and
city in the country. After the inter
est had been paid on their funded
debt and all other characters of ex-
pense had been met, they had $685.
426,676 left out of which to declare
dividends and to use as surplus
fund for emergencies of one kind and
another. ..
In other words, after the railroads
got through paying for their labor,
steel, lumber, coal, interest and other
necessary expenses, the above little
more than 100000 was all the
surplus they had left for themselves
out of an income of more than three
billion dollars-and this, too, upon
properties worth the gigantic sum OF

blunt nosed dark hulled barge
Law against the boom above the gov
eminent lock this morning. On its
deck piled to the height of twelve
feet or more and covered with tar
paulins were tons of sugar and cof-
fee. A gray pilot house, little bigger
than the coop which is used in the
moving picture theaters adorned the
stern Of the barge. At the Prov un
der a spread of awning was built
what reminded one OF a pulpit in a
church, with two little steps leading
from the deck to its elevation. This
was the living quarters Of the inven-
tor and his friends. Over the full
length of the barge fluttered varied
colored pennants, and along the sides
of the craft painted in white on the
black background is the legend, Re
yived Inland Navigation" This was
the famous Bernhard self-propelled
steel barge which is making the trip
from New Orleans to ST. Paul. Off
cially it is known as A. & N. 0. I.
Co. Barge No. 5.
The barge arrived here at four
o'clock this morning, going through
tie lock and tieing up at the boom at
that time. At 1925 o'clock the lines
were cast off and she turned her
prov towards the channel between
the ice tenders and bocms of the fore.
bay. With something OF the same
numbering grace which distinguishes
the prize elephant in the circus as 1t
comes down the street in parade, the
barge swung away from the boom, the
power house walls and into Lake
Cooper.
The biggest disappointment to peo-
pie was that they could not board the
barge as many had been led to expect
they might from the advance matter
which has been sent. The barge did
not stop at the wharf as planned,
but swung directly through the lock.
Its anchorage at the other side OF
the channel from the sea wall made
1t impossible for people to do more
than see it from the sea wall Or the
bluffs. Only the reception committee
and the newspapermen were allowed
to pass the gate at the entrance to
the government property. There were
many who would have liked to have
boarded the boat, but who were not
allowed to by the change in plans.
People are Disappointed.
An effort was made to induce John
H. Bernhard, the inventor and owner
OF the boat to stop at the sea wall
long enough for the people to get
close look at his barge. This was
refused by Mr.. Bernhard who said
that he must get to some of the upper
river cities which had freight for him,
by daylight. The crowd which gather
ed to see the boat, watched 1t from
a distance and had to be content
with this view.
The barge is $40 feet long and 81
feet wide. 1t carries cargo OF LOO
tons when fully loaded. There is no
part of the cargo which is loaded in
the. hull. All is loaded on the deck
Side gates are put up along the barge
and the cargo is well covered. The
broyancy of the craft is caused by
the alright hold " hich is kept empty.
