DECREASED PASSENGER RATES.

+ URTHER depletion Of the of the interstate
railroads in the United states will result from the
application to them after May of the long and short
haul provisions of the law governing passenger rates
The Interstate Commerce Commission ordered read
ustment Of the rates time ago and the new pas
senger tariffs have been filed by the railroads Advices
from Washington to the effect that nney-nve per
cent Of the new fares will be reductions and that only
five per cent will be increases. Officials the com
mission who have anayzed the passenger rates say
that while some rates on long haus will be increased
the fares shorter hauls intermediate points will
be reduced materially in most instances.
IL is matter OF regret that The information given
out by the commission does not show, even approx
maely the loss in revenue from traffic that
will be suffered by the railroads from these new tariffs
The Eastern railroads lighting for a five per
cent increase in freight rates to enable them TO obtain
adequate returns upon investments Their situation on
the passenger end Of the business cannot fail to be
made much worse than it IS with the new tarins
providing nnetyhve per of decreases as against
only five per cent. Of increases.

RAILROADS AND THEIR IMPULSE.

(, AVS Alfred Henry Lewis, in an article discussing
> the American railroad situation
fThe railroad impulse of today Is as black aud bad
the railroad impulse of century ago Thieves and
murderers then the railroads thieves and murder
whenever and wherever they kill and steal
1t a profit"
The pity of it all Is that such the
accepted at par by thousands of Americans who
permit Of the Alfred Henry Lewis type do their
thinking and form their conclusions for them.
The truth is that never in the history of this
try, have the railroads, taken a whole been adj
ministored honestly than they are being admin
stered at present There exceptions. but even in
the of such exceptions the impulse which Mr.
Lewis refers with such conscionless feeling toward
better things
IL also must be admitted by all intelligent observers
that the safotyhrst movement for the protection of
passengers. employees and trespassers has been
adopted with ayidity by the great railroad sys-
tens, and that the railroad impulse Of today
IS TO human life aud not to destroy It. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. for instance has
spent many thousands of dollars in prosecuting
campaign of education against trespassing railroad
tracks, its sole object being to put end the great
destruction OF human life and the great inhction of
human suffering resulting from such acts Of trespass
It also may be said that although the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company the pioneer in that line of work
the morciful path It has bazed is being followed by
many other railroad companies which, if they were so
murderously disposed Mr.. Lewis represents them to
be- might view with safety satisfaction the saugh-
ter resulting from the respassng evil
