GIVING ALL A SHOW

~ HENNSYLVANIA'S Public Service
r. Commission seems to have done
a about all that any fair minded
person could ask in >reopening
the passenger fare case from Phila-
delphia. Ever since the decision was
announced there has been criticism of
the most violent order and the frank
admission of a member of the body
that advance information was furnished
to enable a railroad to file tariffs and
do its printing has been made the sub
ject by few people for some severe
assaults on the integrity of the men,
bers and on the methods of procedure.
People conversant with the situation
say that there was nothing that COM
PEELED the commission to reopen the
case, as the bulk of the requests filed
related to phases of the situation COW
cred in the original hearing.
However, the case has been re-
opened and the people who have been
loudly demanding "a square deal" and
other things, appear to have gotten it,
and should devote some of their time
to preparing their case and less to
abuse. of everyone not agreeing with
them. 1t should not be forgotten that
the rehearing was granted at the re-
quest of sixteen organizations or in
dividuals, and that one of the railroads
also asked that the case be reopened.

SATURDAY EVENING. DEC. 10
THE RATE DECISION

~ RDINARILY an advance in
L i prices or rates of transportation
~ is followed by an outburst of
public Indignation and protest
as witness the storm raised over the
recent advances in passenger fares.
To this usual order the increase of
freight rates granted yesterday by the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
the railroads, entailing the collection
of approximately S30,000,000 addi-
tional from the shippers and con-
sumers of the country, is a notable
exception. In all quarters it is hailed
with delight. Even the men who will
feel it most express satisfaction.
This is because the public is con-
vinced that the railroads are entitled
to the increase permitted by the COM
mission. Indeed, the public reached
this conclusion something like a year
In advance of the commission.
The general impression is that the
advance will be beneficial and will go
a long way toward the restoration of
prosperity. 1t must be remembered
that the commissions estimate of
S30,000,000 as the amount of addi-
tional revenues yesterdays decision
will add to the annual receipts of the
railroads is based on the earnings of
the fiscal year closing June so, 1914, a
period during which traffic was far
below normal. 1t is likely that with
the stimulus the advance will give to
all lines of trade the additional rev.
enues from the five per cent. raise will
be nearer forty than thirty millions.
While portion of this sum will be
paid out in dividends, the great bulk
of it will go to pay wages of increased
working forces, to buy rails, cars, en-
gines and other supplies. Thus many
lines of business will be benefited at
no serious hardship to anybody.
The one feature of the whole matter
difficult for the layman to understand
is why it required the trained and ex-
perienced men of the Interstate Conn
merce Commission whole year, prac-
tically, to decide that the railroads
really were justified in asking for what
they did ask.

SOMETHING NOT MENTIONED

~ Ut of the maze of reports and
statements. criticisms and OBJ
~ servations. to say nothing of
speeches at Washington, one
gets the idea that the National Guard
of Pennsylvania is just like the mill
tia of some of the less wealthy, less
populous and less favored States. The
fact that the Guard of the keystone
State contains over 10000 men who
are giving a couple of nights week to
military training for the protection Of
the rest of us and that 1t is equipped
TO take the field. occasionally gets
mention. This is doubtless due to the
fact that the federal government con-
tributes to that end.
What is not referred to at Wash
ington Is the fact that over a million
dollars is appropriated biennially by
the State of Pennsylvania for military
purposes. Over three quarters of a
million is laid aside for the National
Guard and naval force, over 500. 600
for the administration end of the State
military establishment. $4,000 for
military stores, 100000 for erection
OF armories and almost 100000 for
maintenance OF armories.

THE LARGEST THERMOMETERS.

The Eiffel tower, rising high above
the city of Paris, Is in itself ther-
mometer, undoubtedly the largest in
the world. Just as the common OF
mercury in the glass tube expands
and contracts with changes in tenn
perature, so also does this great tower
of steel. And as we measure temper
ature by noticing the rise and fall of
the mercury column. so do the French
scientists determine temperature by
measuring the expansion or contract
ion of this huge structure.
Frances most powerful wireless
station is located in the Effel tower
and so 1t is the especial target of the
German airmen who sail over Paris
dropping bombs. The Germans would
very much like to destroy this tower
and interrupt wireless communica-
tions now maintained with London
and Petrograd. as well as with all
parts of France. 1t i5 guarded By
rapid fire guns and searchlights
