political oratory as he is convinced
by conditions which surround him.
With idle men and with idle freight

cost of living going still higher. and
now with an additional hundrad-mil-

A QUAKER PROTESTS.

Representative Thomas S. Butler,
who represents Pennsylvania con-
stituency largely Of the Quaker faith.
made public today a letter of protest
against the revenue bill from Joseph
&c. Sharpless of London Grove, Pa.
Mr.. Butler said that Mr.. Sharpless is
"a Quaker of high standing, independ-
ent in his politics, and man whose
opinions are always sought and usual.
Iy adopted by his neighbors and ac-
quaintances.
Mr. Sharpless voiced his feeling
against the revenue bill and the
democratic party in the following
language:
Although at this late date it may
be of little use, wish to express to
thee my disapprobation of the tax on
gasoline. 1t is one of our necessities,
and to tax this article is outrag eous.
When say this voice the sentiment
of thy constituency in Chester coun-
ty. There is not one farmer who
does not own gasoline engine, and
one of my neighbors when filing his
silo used twenty gallons Of gasoline
a day The administration wanted to
reduce high cost of living. and took
the tariff off the things the farmer
raise. Now for them to tax gasoline
is, believe. sure death blow to such
an administration.
"If thee can do anything to stoI
this, please use. thy influence in that
way, and by so doing thee will receive
the applause of thy constituents
In expressing his entire approval
of the protest Mr.. Butler wrote to his
Quaker friend:
THE reasoning found in thy letter
al well as the conclusions which thee
reaches, seem to mo about the pre-
vailing sentiment against this revenue
measure. I would like very much to
make thy letter public unless thee
objects"
Please make use Of my letter as
thee sees fit replied Mr.. Sharpless
publish it on the house tops If thee
desires. as thy people are up in arms
against such legislation.

JOSEPH C. SHRAPLESS.'

Are money conditions easier? Is the

more ready to lend money? These
are questions that can be answered

mary of business results of operation
of 80 Texas railroad companies dur
ing d period Of nine months, ending
March 81, 1914, compared with the
nine months ending March 81, 1913.
The total operating revenue of said
railroads for the nine months was
$88, 288, 48239 For the corresponding
nine months of last year, the total
operating revenue was $92,9S7 9119,
making a decrease in operating reve-
nue. Of $4,69S 708,S0; that is, the roads
earned gross that much less for the
nine months ending March.3l, 1913.
The operating expenses for the nine
months ending March 81, 1914, were
$70,O13, 1853, against $69,393, 613.35
for the corresponding nine. months Of
the previous year, an Increase Of $685.
502.4 The income from other sources
than that Of operation for the nine
months ending March 81, 1919. was ST..
III sol u, against $1,520,278.G3 for the
corresponding nine months of the pre-
ceding year. an increase Of Sl9l ,622.49,
The gross corporate income OF the
% roads for the nine months ending
March 81. 1914, was $l9,987 ,266.53, as
compared with $25,113,856.27, making
a decrease in gross corporate income
of $5,126,5S9.74
For the nine months ending March
81, 1914, taxes increased S9O3,516.S2
over the corresponding nine months of
the previous year.
Rents accrued for lease of road, hire
of equipment and interest accrued on
other Indebtedness showed a total de-
crease of $4lS,110.72. Rents of joint
facilities, interest on funded debt, etc,
increased 1886, 315S7
The net deficit for the nine months
ending March 81, 1914, was $3,19T,'

nine months of last year, the same
roads had net income of S2,799, 46S.77,
making a net loss of s5,997, 3601 as
compared with the same period of last

The net loss. or deficit, for these
same roads for the year ending. June
80. 1913, was considerably over one
and one-half million dollars. They are
now practically six million dollars be
hind what they were as result OF

This Enthusiastically indicates that the
net dificit of these 90 roads will, on
June 80, 1914. exceed $7,O00,000.
The 80 roads represented in this
statement comprise a little over &C
per cent of the mileage of the State
