 New york, Aug. 27-Opening.- Heavy dealings in coppers constituted the chief feature of today.s early trading. Interest cenverged around Tennessee Copper, which closed yesterday at 65, a net gain of Il 1-4 points. Today's first sale was 100 shares at 58 1-2. fol- lowed by 1900 at 55 to 57. later trans4 actions carrying it up to 50 1-2, then back to 59 1-4. Utah opened at 6s I-2. to 68 S-4, maximum gain of 1-2 Other prominent issues in the metal group included Butte Superior, Inspiration and American Smelling. United States Steel opened at a moderate advance, but soon receded. Among the distine-. tive war issues gains of to 3 points were made by Westinghouse, Amerf- can Gan, American Car and New York Air Brake.
 Noon. Tennessee later lost another fraction at 58 3-4 on heavy sales by Q prominent speculation. It's decline was ascribed to disappointment at the failure of the directors to declare an extra. dividend. Other coppers added to early gains, Butte Superior rising S-4 to 68 3-4. Smelting 3-4 and ex-dividend to S2 and Utah 1 3-4, to 69. National Lead rose 3 1-4 to 65 T-8- The further gain in these issues followed another material ad- vance. in the price of the refined metal abroad.

states have two cent passenger rate
and whatever loss is incurred Is recov-
cred through freight revenue. The JUS
tice of such a procedure was recently
passed upon by the Supreme Court
of West Virginia and the decision Is
so far-reaching that we have asked
l.. E. Johnson, president of the Nor
folk and Western Railway whose road
contested the case to briefly review
the suit. Mr.. Johnson said in part:
Some ten years ago, passenger
fares were fixed by the legislatures
of a large number of states at two
cents mile AS basis for such
economic legislation, no examination
was made of the cost of doing the
business SO regulated, nor was any
attention given to the fact whether
such a rate would yield to the rail-
way companies an adequate or any
net return upon the capital invested
in conducting this class of business.
"Such a law was passed in West
Virginia in 1907. The Norfolk and
Western Railway Company put the
rate into effect and maintained 1t for
two years. Its accounting during
these two years showed that two
cents a mile per passenger barely
paid the out-ofpocket cost and moth
ing was left to pay any return on
capital invested 1t sought relief from
the courts. Expert accountants for

On Two.Cent Passenger Rates

both the State and the Railway Com,
pany testified that the claims OF the
railroad were sustained by the facts
Two cents did not pay the cost OF
carrying a passenger a mile. The
State, however, contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
on its state freight business to give
fair return upon the capital used IN
its passenger as we'll as Its freight
business. For the purposes OF the
case, the railroad did not deny this,
but held to its contention that the
State could not segregate Its pas
senger business for rate fixing with.
out allowing a rate that would be
sufficient to pay the cost OF doing
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested III
doing the business regulated This
was the Issue presented to the Su-
preme Court. Its decision responds
to the judgment of the fair-minded
sentiment of the country. The Su-
preme Court says that, even though
a railroad earns surplus on a par
ticular commodity by charging rea-
sonable rates, that affords no reason
for compelling 1t to haul anothers
person or property for less than cost
The surplus from reasonable rate
properly belongs to the railway COM
pany. II the surplus Is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced The State may
not even up by requiring the railroad
to carry other traffic for nothing or
for less than cost.
The decision Is a wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules OF fair dealing apply to railway
com panies. The fact that one makes
surplus on his wheat crop would
never be urged as reason for COM
pelling him to sell his cotton at less
than cost. It would not satisfy the
man who wanted bread to be told
that its high price enabled the cotton
manufacturer to get his raw product
for less than cost In this case the
court reaffirmed the homely maxim
that each tub must stand upon It's
own bottom"

Managing a railroad is quite differ

where the money is raised by taxa

good reasons or otherwise. increase,
taxes can be equally increased. The
railroads, while servants Of the pub
lie, cannot raise money with such
ease and facility. The railroads must
keep their expenditures within their
incomes because while they have
some control over their expenditures
they have almost no control over their
incomes, their rates being fixed by
