paid considerable attention to the pro-
posed per cent. advance on the mart
OF carrying companies in the United
States and many fof them have re-
qiested additional information from
the Anderson Chamber of Commerce
as tofwhy certain railroads deemed
this necessary. The following excerpt
from an address delivered by George
p. Dixon, vice president In charge Of
traffic Sof the Pennsylvania railroad
gives pretty clear idea OF how the
railroad looks at the proposition:
e.t..In order clearly to understand
the meaning OF the per cent advance
rate case now awaiting decision by the
Interstate Commerce Commission, it
should be borne in mind that the alb
normal conditions brought. about by
the European war did not constitute
the primary justification for the rail-
roads application. iT
"It' was the fundamental un-
sn:hdness-war or no war
that had been previously shown to
exist in the railroad industry that
was responsible for this effort of the
railroads to obtain additional reve-
nues. se
The Territory Covered.

rates In what is known SIS. official

"The revenues OF 80 railroad sys-
TENS, are involved. These companies
represent r. total investment in rail-
road property of over $500 million
dollars. Their. total annual. freieht
revenues are about i 900 million dol
lars An advance of per cent. in
their freight earnings would s mean
some $50.000,000 per year, or; about
$1.00, per year for each person living

assured that no rates were to be

the Inherent clubs throughout the
state; which are aiding materially In
the development of the State school.

started few months ago TO Increase

enthusiasm Is being shown BY old ".

that be would then put the subject be-
fore them as best he could. or sug.
gested that the president write each
personal letter. explaining the OBJ
jects OF the proposed organization and
giving some idea OF the work being
accomplished by other clubs
While Mr. Watkins had had an op-
portunity to take the matter up with
only limited number of old grads.

he was a charming conversationalist.

could interest and inform you. Above
all. he was youthful spirit. Full of
cheer and gladness. hopeful and
happy. His cheer was contagious and

fact that he was distinguished
