'Includes extraordinary dividends OF the Union Pa
cihc and Central Pacific Of sS6.00O000 greater
than the dividends OF those companies for the pre-
seding year.
1T will be noted" the Railway Age Gazette says
that the largest OF dividends ever declared
was in 1911, and that the next largest amount was
in 1914. The amount in 1914, however was sweed by
large extra dividends declared by the Union Pacific
and the Central Pacific in connection with the dis
solution by the courts Of the Hartman system Elk
cept for the large dividends Of these roads the
total dividends declared would have shown a steady
decline from 1911 onward
1T should be noted that the figures given here are
not those for dividends paid on stock actually out

KNOWN large part of the stock of railway COM

THE reduction in the amount of stock paving e,vi-
dends and the amount of dividends paid in 1915 was
due to decline in the operating income Of the
railways in 1914 and 1915. This due chiefly to
increases in operating expenses and taxes The in

In order to obtain the views Of all

has invited prominent shippers, bank

CARNATIONS, railway executives, econo-

The first to be heard are railroad
commissioners Of various states who
began their evidence today. Their
testimony is directed chiefly to oppos,

forward by representatives of the rail

advocate an extension of federal au-

practical exclusion of state control Of
these matters 1t is understood also that
they will go on record in favor of fed

From an authoritative source is OBJ
tanned the following outline of the leg
islative program which the railroads
will ask the committee to consider in
it; investigation: They will endeavor
to demonstrate to the commission that
one of the principal defects in the pres
ent system Of railroad regulation Is
the lack of coordination resulting from
the simultaneous and conflicting regu-
lation by the federal government and
by the 4S states. They will. therefore,
ask that entire governmental control
OF the rates and practices of interstate
carriers, except purely local matters,
be placed in the hands of a federal
body so that interstate traffic may be
regulated without reference to state
lines. leaving to the state commissions
jurisdiction only over local matters and
local public utilities. AS a part Of this
plan. a compulsory system Of federal
incorporation is to be recommended
accompanied by federal supervision of
railroad stock and bond issues.
