Big INCREASE Shown
IN RAILROAD TAXES
Lines Assessed 1856 Per Cent More in
1914 Than in l905-Gross
Revenue Greater.

Official figures compiled by the Bu-
between 1905 and 1914 taxes paid by
all the railroads in the United States
increased 1860 percent. The roads
paid, in 1905. S63.i74.67a in taxes. and
in 1914 $r5O.37l.lOO. an increase of
sS6.S96.i21.
Taking 1905 a. basis year. II is
shown that taxes in 1906 were s74.-
7S5.6l5. an increase of Sll.3l0.936. or
1852 per cent: in 1907. the taxes were
s19.640.0l3.' an increase over 1905 of
Sl6.165.334, or, 25.47 per cent: in 1908
the taxes We're S7S.S73.7?4. an increase
of s15.199.1I5, or 1895 per cent over
1905: in 1909 the taxes were SIS. 49,
554. an increase over 1905 of SCI. .664.-
SIS. or 3s.13 per cent: 1910 shows $685.
03i.593. an increase of 54.45 per cent:
1871. SOS. .309.512. an increase of 1858
per cent: 1912. sl20,619.S74. 54.45 per
cent: 1911. slOS.309.512. an increase of
1868 per cent: 1912 s12O.619.574. an in
crease of 90.0S per cent: 1913. s129.-
$4,000. an increase of l04.55 per cent;
and 1914 taxes were s15O,371.1O0. an
increase over 1905 of SS6.s96,421 or
1856 30 per cent.
These figures show a startling in
crease in taxes imposed on the rail-
roads. but the increase in taxes on the
anthracite roads is even more impress
sivc. The anthracite roads paid $5.
59O.21i in taxes in 1905. and in 1914
they paid s17.226.165. an increase OF
20S.15 per cent.
These figures are made more interest
/, ing by comparison of the increases
gross revenues, operating expenses and
net revenues. The gross revenues of
all the railroads in 1915 is given as 81 0S2,
1906. The gross revenue in 1914 was
81. .04I. .019, sos. The 1914 figures show an
| increase of +63 per cent over the figures
of 1895.
The total operating expenses of all
the roads in 1865 were 81. .39C 6C2. .152, and in
1914 the total operating expenses were
81, 200, ,3l3, 159. or an increase of So per
cent
The net operating revenue of all the
| roads in 1905 amounted to $69l. .ss0.25 and
in 1914 the net operating revenue was
$50. zoe. 7i9. an increase over 1905 of 22.4
per cent.
Thus it is shown in a comparison of
the figures of 1905 and 1914 that, while
revenues. increased 46.3 per cent, operat-
ing expenses 5s.2 per cent and net operat-
ing revenues increased pa per cent, taxes
increased 1860 per cent.
The ratio of operating expenses to
operating revenues in 1905 was EST Der
cent and In 1914. ~ per cent. Thei
has been a gradual increase in operating
ratio since 1910 The ratio Of operating
expenses to operating revenues in 1906
was ISL per cent. 1t was 66.2 Der cent
in 1910, 6S per cent in 1911. 693 per cent in
1912. 6s.4 per cent in 1913 and 72.2 per cent
In 1914.

SUPREME COURT OPENS
WINTER SESSION TODAY
Angus. Body Will Call on President.
No Decisions Expected
for Week.

The Supreme Court will resume it's
sittinRs today after the summer re-
cess No business will be transacted
today. The court, following an an
cient custom, will meet and go In a
body to calkon the President and pay
respects. The court will meet at
noon and the engagement with the
President has been arranged for
forty five minutes later. This will
give only sufficient time to meet and
adjourn at once for the visit to the
White House.
No opinions are expected for
week or two. There are several cases
coming over from the last term, In
volving important matters, but no
opinion in any of these will be given
today. The most important business
before the court in the immediate fu-
ture will be the Harvester Trust
case and the Steel Trust case appeal.
The Harvester Trust case was set
down for reargument at the next
term and the Steel Trust case was
appealed by the government from the
decision Of the Federal District Court
for New Jersey. which was adverse
to the government. The Harvester
case was decided in the governments
court.
The Steel Trust case will be az
yanced and set down for an early
argument and may be argued at
about the same time as the Harvester
case. The courts decision in both
cases may not be announced untIi
after the holidays. The order for
rearRument Of the Harvester case in
dicated that eight justices who sat IN
the case-Justice McReynolds not par
ticipating because he argued 1t as At
torney General-were evenly divided
on the merits. 1t is likely that JUS
tice Lamar will not be able to SIT
during the rearguments. which may
still further complicate the situation
His absence from the case would
break the tie. but it is doubtful
whether the court would want to give
an opinion in a case of such impor-
tance If a minority only OF the JUS
tices Joined in it. even though this
minority constituted majority or
those sitting.

Montreal, Oct. 1o.-The arrival OF an
Alaskan newspaper man here, on ms way
to visit his sick father in the United
States. has uncovered an exceedingly rich
story involving the railway development
Of Alaska and the personality Of Frank
lin X. Lane, Secretary Of the Interior.
The traveller Is william +. Thompson.
publisher Of the News-Miner at Fair
banke Mr.. Thompson tells his story this
way:
I'VE have a dinky little narrow-gauge
railway there, financially bankrupt In q
thousand ways, inefiiciently equipped and
therefore run at an enormous extrava-
gance; can't pay the interest on the
bonds. and therefore getting worse all
the time. Somebody made the supreme
Court conclude that the railways OF
Alaska came under the Interstate Com
merce Commission. and the clerks OF the
commission began to hand out orders by
mail
Every railroad in Alaska had to quit
except the Guggenheim road. the White
Pass, and our little forty-five mile road.
Our road couldn't quit: so long as they
kept running they were on earth and
had a chance-when they quit they were
dead.
Finally, after the Interstate Commerce
Commission had piled up about $lOO.oOo In
fines and 36s years in Jail for the presi-
dent, the manager-a very good carpen-
ter, by the way-came crying to me. ask
ing what he should do. 1t was 30 funny
I told him to forget 1t and leave It to me.
Three weeks later Franklin X. Lane.
chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, received letter from me
which read:
Dear Frank: When you and ! used
to work together on the old Tacoma
News. a generation and more ago. You
used to be a good fellow. but today you
are not. and II you don't change your
system something bad is apt to happen
to you.
For instance. you threaten TO put
our little railway out Of business un-
less it hauls dynamite ten car-iensths
from the engine. In the first place.
