In the same period taxes Increased
from s631.29 per mile to s6SO.63 per
mile, or 1884; and the average
freight rate per ton mile decreased
from 7T mills in the year ended on
June 80, 1916, to 7.06 mills in the year
ended on December 81. 1916. Pas
senger rates increased slightly as be-
tween the two periods-from 1895
cents In the year ended on June 30,
to 2.042 in the year ended on Decem-
Der 81. The mileage included in the
two compilations Is substantially the
same, being 231.246 miles in the state
ment for the former fiscal year and
231,17s in the statement covering, the
new fiscal year.
The cooperation Of the railroads Is
a most signal illustration Of the way
big business is helping to win the war.
Voluntarily 693 lines have merged
their competitive activities for the
period Of the war, thus securing the

1inental system with none Of the draw,

THE LAUNDERING GERMAN

1t used to be the Democratic party
that was always relied on to blunder
itself out OF power whenever It acct
dentally obtained it, but for capacity
for doing the wrong thing at the right
time to benefit its enemies German
intrigue far outshines any Of the
Democratic party's performances in
stupidity. The latest activity OF Ger
man political intrigue is reported from
Costa RIGA. 1t appears that on Sep
TENDER II, few of the leading Ger
man. subjects resident in San Jose
were arrested. charged. together with
q number OF natives, with conspiring
to overthrow the present government
and further that all !GernaR-suo1ects
in the ports Of the country have been
interned as a matter Of precaution.
And what of the commercial pres
tige which may be diminished as
consequence Of the resentment grow
ing out Of this incident? With the
possible exception of the southern part
of Brazil, there is no part OF Latin
America in which German CONNER
cial influence has attained a greater
ascendeucy than in Costa RIGA. While
the banana lands Of the country have
been developed and its railroads built
and operated by an American com"
pany, and while English influence has
been strong in the banking and gen.
eral exporting and importing circles,
yet in coffee raising and in the retail
business German capital and German
merchants have assumed dominating
position. The commanding influence
OF Germans in these lines has been IN
the main the result OF German COM
mercial enterprise, whether the meth
DDS have always been along legitimate
and fair lines Is another matter.
The incident emphasizes, however.
the seeming inability OF the average
German subject located permanently
or otherwise in Latin America to keep
his hands off the political affairs Of
the country in which he Is resident.
if bv such interference he believes he
nay directly promote the foreign
policy Of his own country, or indirectly
further its purposes as he understands
them.

The people OF the United States
will, therefore, not be dependent on

EVERYTHING UP BUT RATES

The hearty and loyal cooperation OF
the railroads Of the country with the
government has been forthcoming in
spite OF the rather drastic treatment
they have received at the hands Of
that same government. The railways
of the United States in the calendar
year Of 1916 paid higher average
wage per employee, a greater amount
per mile in taxes, and handled freight
at a lower rate per ton per mile, than
ut any period in their history. These
facts are disclosed by compilation
made by the Bureau OF Railway
Economics Of the returns made to the
Interstate Commerce Commission by
the so-called Glass | roads-those hay
ing annual operating revenues exceed
Ing 81 100000. These returns for the
first time are for the year ending on
December 81, according to an order Of
the Commission making the fiscal year
coincide with the calendar year: and
they cover railways having SO per cent
Of the mileage of the country and re-
ceirins 81 per cent of the total oper-
ating revenues.
Compared with a similar comNla.
ton Of returns for the year ending
June 80. the Railway Age Gazette
points out that the average wage per
employe of these roads shows all in
crease from ss40:62 to s86S.6s. or

KNOW NOTHING TO TELL

Perhaps it is natural for the wearted
members OF Congress to look forward
with pleasurrahle anticipations OF get
ting away from Washington. The
President seems TO have a lively SYM
patty with the overworked lawmakers,
for he has been writing letters to them
urging them to finish UP their work
quickly in order that they may go
home and tell their constituents all
about the war" Il IS desirable that
the people should know all about the
war, OF course But the average Con-
gresham knows no more about the
war than the average newspaper
editor, perhaps not so much. The
Congressman has been at Washington,
to be sure, where he has heard all the
gossip Of graft and favoritism and
where h. has had opportunity to test
the efficiency OF the red tape entanglc-
ments which surround the intrenched
bureaucratS in the War Department,
and where he has had the privilege Of
voting billions Of the public mooney
without being given the chance to
know how It is going to be expended.
This hardly equips man to tell any
body all about the war"
1t would be better II Congress could
remain or the job and try to find out
something about the war. something
about the way the money is being
spent, something about the contracts
that are being let. something about
the results that are being produced.
something about the conditions under
which We are cooperating with our
Allies. With this information in hand,
he members OF Congress can give
heir constituents some enlishteu-
nent: without it they can tell Of
nothing which the Intelligent reader

family OF the Australian soldier varies
according 20 the number Of children
up TO a maximum OF nearly $50 b
month The pensions allowed BY law
10 wives and children of soldiers
killed in service are shown TO be con-
siderably higher also in Great Britain
and the British dominions than in the
United States.
The relation Of all these questions
lions behind the lines Is clear 1t is
also plain that the living conditions In
large measure depend upon the pro-
visions made by the respective gov
ernments for soldiers and their DE-
pendents. And since the withdrawal
Of men from the ordinary walks Of
life to form q large army must create
what countries offer important sug-
gestious for a system Of soldiers COM
pensation in this country becomes at
once basic to the consideration Of
child welfare in war time. There is a
measure now pending in the Senate.
and which has passed the House, look
ing to adequate provision In these mat
ton allowances to families OF men In
active service and would revise the
and their families and 10 the widows
and children Of men killed in service.
1t contemplates the organization of an
effective system Of re-education under
government direction based upon the
experience Of Canada and Of Europe.
1t also includes provision, suggested
by the Canadian municipal insurance,
whereby the government would sell
life insurance at rates based on the
cost Of Insurance in time OF peace, the
government itself carrying the added
cost of the war hazard. The maximum
amount Of insurance which could be
purchased by one person would be
$4,000, and the privileges Of the in
surance would be open on the same
terms to officers, enlisted men. and
members Of the Female Nurse Corps.
1t Is expected that the rate for a
maximum policy will be such that any
enlisted man could easily meet the
premiums from his military pay.
