The Pennsylvania railroad, whose

In 1900, when the interstate COM

the roads by stopping rebating, free

the average rate of dividends on all
outstanding railroad stock was PA

rate they had ever paid UP to that
time. By 1914 the rate of dividends
on all outstanding railroad stock had
increased to 81 per cent, more than
TWICE the rate paid in 1900. Since
1914 the rate has increased at least
80 per cent more, so that the divi-

WHILE PROFITS Sc
BY BASIL M. MANLY
Washington, March 81. - One of
the biggest domestic questions to-
day is:
Shall the railroads of the United
States be permitted to increase their
rates for carrying freight?
The railroads have just completed
the most prosperous year in their
entire history and they are now earn
ing at a rate which will make their
net income for 1917 greater even
than in 1916.
In 1916 the net earnings Of Amer
lean railroads were $1,136, 100000,
more than $50 for every family in the
United States. Their gross earnings
for the same year were $3,753,000,-
900.
This means, in plain language, that
out of every dollar that the railroads
took in for freight or passengers, 80
cents was net profit, over and above
all expenses.
They are already getting more than
that, as their own reports show In
January, 1917, the net earnings of
all roads were $76,19O69O, as COM
pared with S68,586,OO6 in January,
1916. This is an increase of seven
and twO-thirds millions over the
most prosperous January the roads
ever enjoyed, and if continued
throughout this year, as there is ev-
cry reason to expect, will give the
roads $9O,000,000 more than they

OLD GLORY |SPRESEN7ED
. TO CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL
Principal Wilson, in Accepting Flag,
Predicts Graduates Will Answer
Call to Defend Nation.

Graduates of Washington's public
high schools will be ready to answer
the call to arms should war come, ac-
cording to the prediction made today
by Emory Wilson, principal Of Central
High School. Mr.. Wilson made the
statement in accepting an American
flag, presented to the school by William
B. Cushing Camp, No. 80, Sons OF
Veterans, U. "A.
Expressing the hope that none of his
young auditors ever might be called
on to participate in war, Mr.. Wilson
voiced his conviction that should the
need come those who have been trained
in the high schools of Washington
would be willing to accept their share
Of the burden.
eff in time of war a great wave of
patriotism did not go out from the
high schools and make itself felt in
active military service, I should feel
that our training had failed" he said.
But l know that from the graduate
bodies at least we would have the call
answered. In the war with Spain the
Washington high schools sent in an
honor roll which was noted in all parts
of the country. l feel that this would
be true again should the need arise,
but j hope the time never will come
when any one of you is called on to
make the sacrifice"

Newsprint paper manufacturers con-

government investigation of their in

Washington last night.
Neither the manufacturers nor Of

and plans will be made accordingly.
The marshal and his assistants are
wrestling with the problem of how to

1t is realized that when the vast

compelled to pass through on their

prove a troublesome task for the local

That will be necessary to permit the
organization of the procession.
1T is believed that when the people
realize what has been done for their
benefit they will willingly retire outside
the lines. with as little delay as pos

tons necessary to the free movement
of the inaugural column. A large area
will be roped off for the use of the
