VOLUNTARILY CUT SALARIES.
President Harrison and Other Of
ficials of Southern Accept Reductions

Fairfax Harrison, president of the
Southern Railway Company. announced
today that he has voluntarily reduced
his own salary 20 per cent and that he
has asked all the other officers of the
railway company receiving salaries in
excess of $500 per annum to accept
temporary reductions.
The, officials affected it is stated at
the Office Of the company. have all ac-
cepted the reduction with loyal appre-
citation of the necessity in spirit of
mutual self-sacrifice."
These steps were taken, it is an
nounced. in view of the curtailment of
service made necessary by the current
depression in business and the conse-
Quent reduction of opportunity of many
hundreds of employees to earn the sala-
ries they have been receiving.
simultaneously the board of directors
of the railway company has reduced
the dividend of the preferred stock
holders. many Of whom are women de-
pendent upon this income, from S to
Az per cent, although it Is stated that
the amount of the dividend was fully
earned before the depression OF busi-
ness was apparent. The reduced di-
vidend has also been made pAyabis in
deferred scrip instead of cash.
Under these two plans, it Is announc-
I'd, all interests in the railway property
will participate In retrenchment.

Automobiles Out in Country.
from the New York Times.

We have all heard that many farmers
have SO far overcome their once bitter
antagonism to the horse soaring auto
mobile as to buy and use automobiles
Of their own, but it is still surprising
to learn that in a state as distinctly
agricultural and as thinly populated as
Iowa 100000 of these machines are Ii
censed. So says, however, Newman
Erb, the president of several railways
he also says that the Iowa farmers are
paying more for the maintenance, oper-
alton and depreciation of their motor
cars than they are contributing to the
railways for both passenger fares and
But Mr.. Erb, unlike a good many 9TH
er commentators on the popularity of
the automobile, does not scold their
users for extravagance. On the con-
trary. he declares that, thanks to the
new vehicle. the farmers have come to
realize that there are other prob
lens" than the one created by the ex-
istence of the railways. They are
thinking good deal now about the
prices Of rubber and gasoline, and they
have become learned about, and willing
to pay for, the advantages they can de-
rive from highways of modern con-
struction.
OF course it costs the farmer. in Iowa
or elsewhere. nothing like as much to
run an automobile as it does the city
man. For one thing. being always
more or less familiar with the handling
of machinery. he not only easily learns
to operate his own car. but he Is able
to make himself all the minor repairs
which are such drain on the urban
automobilist. The heavy expense OF
storage he wholly escapes, he pays no
chauffeur's commission on tools and
sundries. and he usually buys his gaso-
line in large quantities. and therefore
cheaply. for he has several other uses
for it besides that of moving his car.
The automobile. too. gives about the
only pleasure that the whole family
is fully worth to the farmer what it
costs.
