RAILROAD TICKETS GO UP.

Chicago, Dec. Passenger rates
are being increased today all over the
central section of the United States,
the increase representing an ad-
vance from 2 Ia to 1-2 cents per
mile. The new rates are the result
of the suggestion of the interstate
commerce commission that an. in
crease of passenger rates was a good
method of increasing revenues. The
new fares, roughly figured are about
one dollar increase on each long run
from Chicago and similar increases
are in force in other sections in the
central passenger territory.
