LOW RATES AND TRAVEL.

II is now being contended that low
rates do not stimulate railroad travel
but ms the contention Is being made
by rallrond men the argument should
be investigated fully before II J, fin
ally accepted ~ fact
The lutrst figures have been com
piled by Receiver Paul II King Of
the Perc Marquette road lie has
prepared Il table OF the total number
" passengers carried by his road In
each NJ the eight years preceding the
operation Of the two.cent law In 1907
and also the total number NJ pa9sen
gers In each uf the subsequent seven
years II shows that the average al.
nual increase since 1907 has been
only half as large AS the annual In
creuse before that wear. and Mr.. King
goes 80 FAR as to say that II disproves
the claim that the low rate would In
crease passenger traffic
The conclusion IL rather too sweep
ing The Pere Marquette is In n pe
cular position and what is true Of II
may not be true Of all roads, nor are
its figures necessarily applicable tu
solvent systems The fact of the re-
celyership itself need not be rolled uu
to prove this point
The road was In receivers hands
Tor two years In the first period the
table covers AZ well ~ two years in
the last period, and these factors can.

tlons that led up TO the recclvership.
which operated TO throw the road into
bankruptcy, may have also operated
to prevent q normal gain In traffic
under the two cent law. II the sparse
settlement of much Of iS territory
was an influential cause " the pres
cnt rcre Marquette difficulties, II
may also have contributed 10 defeat

Of fares aud the influence may moi
