The State Trolley Line.

Bismarck, March 31.-The report
of the custodian Of public property
has been received from the printer
and one of the interesting items is
the one referring to the state-owned
trolley line. The report shows that
for the year 1913 there was a rev.
enue of $5,781, and for 1914 up to
December Is, $4,O52, or an average
of about $2,50O per year. The year.
ly cost of the conductor and motor
man is $1,1OO and the repairs and
upkeep amount to between $1,000
and $1,000. The report shows that
there has been only one accident dur
ing the past two years and that was
not any fault of the motorman, as an
automobile ran full tilt into the side
of the car one evening. There is no
way Of estimating the cost Of the cur
rent used, 40 the power is generated
at the state plant, which 10 kept up
most Of the time for lights and heat

NO INCREASE OF
RATES NEEDED
Iowa Rail Expert Appears
for Western Shippers.
HIS VIEW OF SITUATION

Says Earnings for 1918 Were the
Largest, With One Exception, in
the History Of This Section and
Maintains Carriers Are Spending
Immense Sums.
Chicago, March 31.-Clifford Thorne,
chairman of the Iowa railroad com.
mission, in behalf of the protesting
shippers in the Western railroad
freight rate hearing outlined before
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Daniels the opposition of the shippers
to the freight rate increases proposed
by forty-one Western railroad sys-
tens. .....
The railroads are seeking to have
present rates increased on certain
commodities, which, they assert, do
not yield them a fair profit. The to-
tai increases, if granted, according to
the railroads, will increase their rev.
enue $10,000.000 year. Among other
things Mr.. Thorne said:
1.-THE impression has been given
that railroads have not been able to
maintain their properties during re.
cent years, that they have been com.
PEELED to retrench SO severely that
the public has been injured, as well as
the railroad properties. This is true
as to some railroads, but we will show
it is absolutely untrue as to Western
railroads as whole. AS in all bust.
ness there are temporary periods OF
depression when the railroads as a
whole, including both the strong and
the weak lines, are compelled to re.
trench in their expenses for time.
1t will be conclusively proved to you
that these Western carriers expended
in 1914 in maintaining their proper
ties $4,000 per mile of line, which was
greater than in any other. year in
their history W
I'm the exhibits that will be offered
it will be shown that in 1913 the net
revenues of the railroads in Western
territory as whole, above all oper.
ating expenses, amounted to $420, 0,0O0,.
900, being the largest with only one
xception-1910-since the first track
was laid west of the Mississippi"
