What Allied the Railroads.

We hear a great deal of criticism or
some railroads whose shares were far
merly regarded as giit-edged but that
have recently been compelled TO sus-
pend dividends, especially such roads
az the New Haven and Rock Island.
We overlook one vitality important
fact that deserves to be considered,
that is. il our railroads were receiving
the same freight and passenger rates
as before and II they were paying the
game scale of wages and the same rate
of taxes as In the days of their pros
perity, they would still be paying
handsome dividends and be as gilt
edged as ever
In his recent annual report President
Nudge, OF the Rock Island, showed
that since 1902 the mileague of the
system has been practically doubled.
and during that time passenger and
freight rates have been constantly re-
duced while taxes and wages have
been extrayagantly Increased. Mr..
