PENNSY READY
TO CUT SERVICE
Curtailing Passenger Service
Also Means Less Dining Cars
and Parlor Equipment

To meet recommendations of the
I Railroads War Board some Pennsyl
Vania Railroad passenger trains are
] to he consolidated, others will be
| eliminated altogether, restaurant
cars will be reduced in number, also
parlor and sleeping cars, while club
and observation cars will be partly
cut off or discontinued altogether. A
statement setting forth the conserva-
tion plan of the company was issued
yesterday by George ID. Dixon, vice
president in charge of traffic. He
said
ITO conform with the recommend
ations of the Railroads War Board,
issued from Washington, d. c., and
calling upon all lines to readjust
their services with view to Conserv-
ing fuel supply and increasing capac-
ity for moveing coal, food, Govern
ment materials and troops, the Penn
sylvania Railroad will, in the near
future. put into effect a general and
quite extensive revision of its passen-
ger train schedules. The final de-
tails are now being worked out and
will be announced to the public
promptly upon completion. In the
meantime we wish to explain, as
clearly as possible, the purposes that
we are seeking to accomplish and the
conditions which have made it inevi-
table that we should take this step.
AT the outset we desire to empha-
size the fact that the object sought
is not financial economy or. an in
crease in net revenues. In reality. a
sacrifice in revenues will result. The
economies which we are endeaVoring
to effect are physical and are being
devised for the sole purpose of in
creasing, as much as possible, the
amount of transportation service, of

that can be rendered to the govern
ment and the public with the rail-
road plant that is at our disposal.
In brief, we are attempting two
things: First, to increase immedi-
ately the movement of such freight
as foodstuffs and other necessaries of
life; second, to clear our lines for
the prompt handling of government
supplies and troops, which must
shortly be transported on large
scale. AS our lines, terminals and
locomotives are now being used to
the maximum of their capacity, the
only way in which we can provide
for the increased government traffic.
and for the freer movement of per-
ishable and other necessary freight,
is to reduce the number of passenger
train units that are being operated
over the railroad. This will release
both trackage and engines for other
forms of service"
While the changes in RAILROAD pas
senger train schedules are not ready
for publication, the cut will include
suburban trains, through trains for
the west, the Philadelphia and New
York service, trains between New
York and Washington, and will strike
generally all branch lines. No
changes will be made in the seashore
trains. Sleeping cars and restaurant
cars likewise will be withdrawn to Il
great extent, to be replaced by day
number of persons. To make up for
the reduction in restaurant cars, the
travelling public will be encouraged
TO take their lunches with them on
the train, or avail themselves of the
opportunity of station restaurants.

No NEED FOR EXTRA SESSION

From many points in the state sentiment is being volceu
i, onnosifon to the calling of an extra session OF the leeglsla-
ture which is said to have been urged upon Governor boyle,
FOR the purpose of amending the Nevada election laws to eX-
tend the voting privilege to drafted men who may be absent
from the state at the time of the 1913 election. Whie the con-
stitution of the state provides that voters shall not be deprived
Of the franchise by reason of their absence in the countrys
service. some doubt exists as to the effect of recently enacted
sections of the election laws upon the status of absent soldiers.
It is pointed out that only approximately five per cent OF
The states total vote would be affected by such an amendment
to the statute, in the event, which is not yet established, that
ihe existing law will prevent the absent soldiers from Young
balancing the Importance of this relatively small number OF
votes against the cost to the state of an extra session, 1T would
appear that the calling together of the lawmakers for this pur-
pose must fail to receive the support of the majority of taxpay-
ers and of all who realize the urgent necessity for state as well
as individual economy and thrift during the period of the war.
Extra sessions are rarely, if ever, adjourned before meas
ures are adopted that involve financial burdens not limited at
prior to their converting, and already there are rumOrs OF pro-
posals to appropriate money for various purposes If the special
session is called. Nevada is not suffering from poverty, but it
has no money to waste at this time, and it can render the most
effective aid to the government in the war by outstanding its
resources and avoiding unnecessary extravaganza. If the
question were put to a vote of the soldiers who may be affected,
there is little doubt that the answer would be: use the money
to send us needed war supplies and we will trust the home
folks to do the voting"
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1917-11-24

The treasury department has allotted the full amount of
their subscriptions to those asking for $50 to $4,000 apiece of
the second Liberty Loan. These comparatively small subscrib-
ers have taken up 81, iSS, 49, $50, or more than four-fifths of the
minimum $3,OOOOOOOO0 for which the federal government
asked. This makes the loan the most popular one ever floated
in this country, or in any other as far as is known, and serves
notice on the kaiser that the American people stand behind the
president to win the war.
Total subscriptions to the loan were S4,6i7 ,532,3O0-not far
short of the maximum of $5O OO,OOO,OO0. OF the excess 1884,
$4,000 over the minimum of $3yOOO,OOO,OW required, the gov
eminent has accepted half, or $9OS, 766,15O which makes the
total amount allotted to those who subscribed for more than
$4,000 apiece s., 800, 296,SOO Men of great wealth, banks, 9th
er financial institutions and corporations therefore received a
little more than half the amount allotted to the smaller sub
scribers.
The reservoirs of concentrated wealth have scarcely been
tapped because the masses have been so willing to help their
country and also to secure the best of investment securities for
themselves. The smaller subscriptions for which allotments
have been made in full considerably exceeded the total of those
above $4,000 apiece.
AS the war progresses other Liberty Loans will be floated.
The next loan campaign will probably take the form of an ap-
peal to the farmers to do their bit. They have more money
than any other class and they are making profits far more gen
erous than any they have hitherto received. Wheat growers
have received a guarantee of a minimum of two dollars a BUSH
ell for the crop of 1913, no matter how large it may be, and high
prices for other staple agricultural products are well assured.
American farmers have not yet taken advantage of the chance
to make good investments in Liberty bonds and they owe it to
themselves and their country to take up the larger part of the
next loan.
If the farmers who have grown rich do not subscribe more
literally in the future than they have done so far the federal
government can easily draw billions from rich men and cor
porations without raising the rate Of interest by the simple
plan of exempting moneys invested in new issues of war bonds
from taxes on incomes, excess profits and other taxable sur
pluses. The corporation tax law contains an exemption of this
kind to encourage the investment of idle SURPRISES in corpora
ton treasures in Liberty bonds and the extension of this sys-
tenn to other SURPRISES would create an enormous demand for
such bonds.
Let the farmers show the city jewellers what they can do
for their country when the government opens the subscription
books for the next Liberty Loan. They are the only important
class in this country that has not done it's bit in eaccordanc
with it's means.

SHIPS AND RAILROADS

If ships were treated like American railroads they would
not leave port. Navigation laws force shipowners to keep their
vessels in good repair and they are permitted to charge cargo
commander ships in time of war, but pay full value for them.
Our railroads cannot maintain their equipment and rights
of way and buy additional rolling stock because they cannot
charge fair compensatory rates. They cannot suspend opera
tons without forfeiting their charters. The government or
ders them to carry low-class freight, such as coal, to keep the
wheels of industry in motion, but the railroads lose money by
obeying and their property deteriorates' in condition and depre-
.ciates in value while others make fair profits.
Unwise navigation laws nearly drove our merchant marine
from the high seas and forced many shipowners to sell to for
eign operators. Our shipowners could at least sell when the
La Toilette seamen's act forced them out of business. Railroads
cannot dispose of their property in that way, and those who
hold their securities now find the best of them worth less than
at any time in forty years.
Our government is forced to spend half a billion dollars or
more in buying and building such ships as we would have had
if shipowners had received encouragement in the half century
preceding the war. 1t will have to spend money on railroads
in much the same way if railroad companies are starved into
1t is useless to build ships if the railroads cannot
transport freight from the interior to the seaboard.
Today our railroads are unable to handle the freight be
cause they lack rolling stock and terminal facilities. II the
interstate commerce commission does not improve their eondi-
ton at this rate hearing congress will have to appropriate
money to purchase railroad equipment or to make loans to the
companies. 1t can avoid such additions to the federal taxes
and the national debt if the railroads receive their Just dues in
increased rates that will cover increased costs of maintenance
and operation in time Of war-Exchange.

VOTE SHOULD BE DENIED ENEMIES

Men vote on first papers" in many states where there is
also little regard for other qualifications, such as age. Alien
enemies take advantage of this looseness to put thousands on
the voters lists who have no right to the franchise. 1T is part
of the general carelessness which leaves many states without
mortality statistics and other important sources of information
that all other civilized countries compile and publish. In time
of war carelessness often becomes a crime. 1t may be as dan
gerOus to let a horde of unnaturalized young aliens vote as to
admit them to federal arsenals.
Americans crate about the sacred ballot box just before
an election, but they do not seem to care whose dirty fingers
handle it as long as he promises to vote on their side. Con-
gress has the power to put a stop to aliens voting at federal
elections before they are naturalized. In some western states
thousands of alien enemies who cannot take out final papers
during the war can vote and thus influence the war policy of
the federal government, a condition which is as absurd as it
is Observation-Disclosures.

HOTEL FOOD-SAVING METHODS

New York hotels are rapidly developing practical programs
of food conservation, according to a writer in the New York
Times. At one metropolitan hotel, patronized by well-to-do
people, emphasis is put upon luxury dishes, the idea being that
the people who go there for meals can afford luxuries, and that
service of such food articles conserves Medium priced foods
for consumers of moderate means. The number of dishes has
been cut down radically.
In vegetables, where an assortment of fifty different dish
es were formerly offered patrons, there are now barely one
third as many. This effects saving in leftover remnants.
Fresh vegetables are served literally to conserve canned vege-
tables. The same economy is secured by making fewer kinds
of pastry, ice cream and desserts, and carefully calculating the
amounts which will be required so that no remnants go to
waste. Soups are reduced in number, and creamed soups used
hardly at all, saving flour. This hotel has originated a war
cake containing no milk, butter or eggs, with the further adj
vantage that it improves with age. The recipe has been given
to the Red Gross.
Another New York hotel has developed a food-saving bread
made by drying and grinding the edges of toast cut off for
service and baking them into bread with ordinary flour. Two
or three kinds of meat dishes are listed on the menue instead
of a half dozen, and pork chops, roast beef, and similar dishes
are served sparinGly or only on special order. Vegetables and
spaghetti are used for garnishing instead of bacon, and canned
goods are replaced with fresh fruits and vegetables wherever
possible.
Prices of food articles which are scarce are advanced for
the purpose of discosraging orders. Beetles Tuesday" has
made possible the saving of 400 pounds of beef weekly at one
big hotel. Between 600 and 700 slices of roast beef were for
merly served daily at this house to men who did not take the
trouble to look at the menu in ordering. "Beefless Tuesday"
has overcome this heedlessness, and now men sean the bill Of
fare and order poultry, fish or egg dishes every day in the
week-Food Administration Bulletin.

when it comes to fighting armies, that's something different
again-Washington Herald.

Cotton cloth is much cheaper than linen, and nine persons
out of ten cannot tell the difference between them when the
count is fine and they are starched and ironed, as in collars
and shirt bOsoms and cuffs. Why not wear cotton collars in
stead of linen when the price of the latter is high and the best
of them survive only a few trips to the laundry? Cotton re-
sists the action of acids quite as we'll as linen and is much more
resistant to alkali.
