SO it will br seen. that the increase
in wages, the lower freight rates and
the extra expense to which the com
pany has been put by the requirements
of the terminal changes and additions
in New York, the loss it suffers by the
imposition of the parcels post without
compensation. the federal nine hour
law, the state full crew law, ana the
costs imposed by the federal laws re
curing the valuation of the road, aud
new methods of accounting, etc, have
together imposed natural burden on
the road of more than $4,000, 600.
This is enough to have more than paid
an per cent dividend.
The foregoing figures do not include
anything for the loss suffered by sub
sidary lines which is visited upon the
New Haven company by reason of its
ownership of the subsidiaries. For in
stance, the loss of the Boston & Maine
dividends, it will be found upon analy-
sis. is due to substantially the same
cause and the same would be true of
most of the subsidiary lines of the New
Haven company; they are co-sufferers
with the parent. -
We have done our part in imposing
! this burden here in Vermont The rail
road taxes on the Boston 4 Maine, the
/ Rutland and the Central Vermont have
been increased enormously. The Yer
mont Valley railroad between Brattle
boro aud Bellows Falls, one Of the
Boston u Maine lines, is assessed 70,
taxation for &3,600.O0o. That i
$150,00o a mile-more per mile than
the cost Of the new road from Hinsdale
to Brattleboro, laying aside the cost OF
the Brattleboro- Hinsdale bridge an,
the Brattleboro terminal work. There
is no reason why railroad could not b.
built on the east side of the river iron

1t is apparent that there is great

ProUty report of the New England
railroad situation, aud the Brandcis

iatiNc bodies, both state and federal,
and one would get the idea that there
had been actual larceny of the assets
of the roads by the bankers and oil

wastcful extravaganza in the way of
/ new ventures and borrowing money and
increased interest charges, which have
rouslired to bring about the calamity

have had something to do with the de
ciSion of the railroad management to

by his counsel. Ralston & Richardson

down for argument next Tuesday morn
ing.
The Commissipner. against whom a

ment in his favor notwithstanding said

Lack of interest" OF the complainant,
William ]. Frizzen. in the custer suit is
again urged as one reason why judg-
ment should be given for the defendant
despite the verdict. That the court had
no power to review the action of the
President and Senate in nominating and
confirming the Commissioner is an other
conception. This review is characterized
as a violation OF the constitutional sepa-
ration Of the powers OF government
In the motion for a new trial il is
urged that the court erred in allowing
the plaintiff TO open and close the testi-
mony and argument; that il erred in al
lowing certain testimony for the plain
tin and in refusing testimony offered
by the defendant also that il erred in re-
fUsing certain prayers offered for the
Commissioner; that the verdict was

Brazil PLANS EXHIBIT
OF RESOURCES HERE
Commerce Chamber Pledges Aid to
Project-Favors Bad Check
Legislation.
DISCUSS ROAD TO MT. VERNON

The Brazilian government is planning
to establish a permanent exhibit of its re-
sources in this city. An outline OF its
plan was presented to the Chamber of
Commerce last night by Edward \.
Braga, Washington representative Of the
department of commerce, industry and
agriculture. of Brazil. The chamber au-
thorized Senior Braga to advise his gov
ernment that it would aid the project in
every possible way.
A cafe for the exploitation Of Brazilian
coffee ''as it should be made" is one fea-
ture in contemplation. Similar institu-
lions have been established in European
capitals and are said to have been very
successful.
For the second time the chamber went
on record in favor of the bill pending in
Congress to put a stop to check kiting
and punish all bad check operators unless
they made good the amount within twen-
ty days after notice of dishonor.
After the measure had once been ap-
proved by the organization. an element
led by lawyer members brought about
reconsideration on the ground that the
bill, II passed, would not stand a consti-
tutional test A special committee again
reported it favorably last night and the
body adopted the report unanimously.
Capt James N. Oyster and Oliver S.
Metzerott. two members of a special COM
mittee appointed to investigate the route
of the proposed boulevard to Mount Yer
non, reported that the route seemed ex-
cellent. but that they thought it might
be difficult to raise $4,000 in Washington
for the project, as requested. There was
some doubt in their minds as to how
much benefit the District would derive
from such a road. Finally Capt Oyster
suggested that each automobile owner
and merchant in the Capital be asked to
contribute 81. No action was taken. The
committee did not make a final report.
