RAILROADS STILL EARNING A BIG DEFICIT

THAT the railways incurred deficit every month

shown in editorial published by the Railway Age in
its current issue The net operating income earned in
these twelve months is shown to have been s33792OOO

railways under private operation during the test period

coal strike the railways had ceased to incur de
neit" says the Railway Age 1T has been indicated in
these statements that in the months Of July August Sep
tember and October the traffic OF the railways had APP
preached normal; that during these months they more
tran earned the Government guarantees to them; and that
IRE very large deficit incurred in the earlier part Of the
year was due TO the comparatively small amount Of
irsllc during that part Of the year
4. These statements Of the Railroad Administration,
while doubtless not intended to be misleading, are
adapted TO give the public false impression regarding
the existing railroad situation The way in which the
Railroad Administration arrives at its conclusion that the
railways have ceased TO incur deficit is very simple.
The Government guarantees amount to an average of
about s75O00OO0 a month. Therefore, when the roads
than this amount OEnei operating income In

have earned a surplus But the railroads always have
earned net operating income in the last six months

meni guarantees based the amount earned

June 30 1917; and II to know how well the rail
ways are really doing under Government operation
must compare their actual results month by month under
Government operation with the actual results obtained
by them in the same months Of the test period.

This table shows that the only two months OF the

corresponding months OF the test period were July and
August 1919 But the most interesting and important
figures the table those for the months July to Oc

which It has been stated that railway traffic had become
about large in 1918 and that a surplus

The irafc handled in these four months actually was
about large in the four months OF 1918 which
is practically the sayng that was almost equal

LOCATION or STATE HIGHWAY

From the Dover Index
The Highway Department has plan

north by Laurel. Seaford. Bridseville
Greenwood, Pennington, Harrington

the dupont road near Dover. The lat
ter road is to be paid for by the State
and the Federal Government. We un-
derstand that the route Of the latter

consider a highly important one at this

south roads located so as to accommo-
date both the east and the west sides
Of the county, an admirable and highly
beneficial plan. As now suggested Kent
county would have two roads 10 Dover

east side OF the county and closely par
anellng each other a good part OF the

not been considered IN The arrange

Willow Grove. Pearsons Corner and

give every district In the county a State
road and would do wonders towards tho
development of all sections OF the coun-
ty. Nor would the expense be very ma
terlally increased Probably every righi
Of way would be donated. The road
would be connected with the dupont
road by the county by a road from
Clayton TO smyrna and eventually con-
Meeting roads would be built from Do
yer TO PearsOns Corner and from
Frederlca TO the point where the road
crosses the road from FELTON, to Hol-
landsvllle. We do not mean by this
suggestion to deprive towns on th'
route now talked Of. FELTON, for in

Indigestion has bothered me for the

to work.

have entirely disappeared and I sleep
soundly the whole night through now
I'd tried a good many medicines, but

I got relief l needed. l simply feel

will be room for more grain Tuesday.
The elevator has been tied up for
sometime, but there are now 1900

a capacity of 10000.
Although there has been difficulty
in getting cars at the elevator at
Lyonsville, east of Connersville, the
elevator has not yet been filled to it's
capacity, which is 5000 bushels. There
are now 1000 bushels on hand.
Cambridge City can receive no more
grain until cars are obtained. There

in the elevator.
Liberty is the only place that has
been successful in getting cars. One
car was loaded Monday. The eleva,

and there are only 1900 bushels of
wheat now stored in it.
