Three Months Railroad Operations.


In the first three months OF the cur
rent year combined railroad operating
revenues increased 81 pc cent, oper-
ating expenses increased 1875 per
cent taxes increased 121 per cent,
and operating income decreased 11.e
per cent, as compared with the cor
responding months OF the preceding
year. In other words, although the
railroads handled more than $40, $780,
900 more freight business and over
S2I 500. 900 more passenger business IN
the first three months of the year
than in the corresponding quater OF
1915, the expenses of operation and
taxes increased to such an extent that
net operating income fell of almost
$25. 900. 900. II these cold figures do
not melt the hearts and balance the
judgment OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission in favor OF a substantial
freight rate increase, then nothing
can. The railroads. as they say them
selves, have been in a sorry plight,
but they now have great expectations.

Warm Argument on the Felony
Clause Expected, But End
To Come Saturday.
DEBATE LIMIT THREE HOURS
Most Objectionable Clause is
Stricken Without Much Pro-
test From BaCkers of the
Measure.

Atlanta, March 27.-The prohibition
commission was stricken out of the
bone dry bill by the house of repre-
sentatives yesterday, and this action
probably means that the bill as
finally passed will carry no provision
for such a commissioner, inasmuch as
the senate retained the commissioner
by the bare margin of only one vote
and the senate will not insist on the
retention of the commissioner when
the bill goes to conference.
The house voted to limit the de
bate to three hours for each side and
then to put the bone dry bill on its
final passage.
The debate began this afternoon,
but may not be finished until tomor
row.
BY holding an afternoon session
and speeding up considerably, the
house succeeded in disposing OF 10
sections of the bill, which was much
lllOl Z Idplu pOl IHdll IL utu PIE
viously made The bill was taken
up again by the house at session
beginning at 8 o'clock this morning.
There have been two main issues
among the prohibition members from
the outset of the extra session. One
was on the prohibition commissioner,
which seems to have been disposed OF
as stated above; and the other was
on the provision of the bill, as drawn
by the governor making second and
subsequent offenses against the law
q felony, punishable by Imprisonment
from one to five years. When the
house reaches this provision, there
will be considerable debate.
The general opinion now is that
the extra session will adjourn on
Saturday.
