Electric Railways
Operations Sow Growth

WASHINGTON, April s-Prelim-
mary figures of the forthcoming
quinquennial report on the cleo
trio railways of the State of New
York have been given out by Director
Sam L. Rogers of the Bureau of the
Census, Department of Commerce.
They were prepared under the super
vision of Eugene F. Hartley. chief
statistician for manufactures.
The figures show substantial in
creases in both the railway and auxil-
iary operations Of the electric railway
companies during the fve-year peri
DDS 1927 and I9o7-'12. The number
of operating companies was 100 in
1917, compared with 101 in 1912. The
mileage of track in the state totalled
4,750 IN 1917, against 4,486 in 1912 and
$500 in 1907, the rates of increase
being SO per cent for the period 1912
II and PAT per cent for the decade.
The companies employed 61,434 per-
sons in 1917, an increase Of 1913 per
cent for the period 1927, and of
25.3 per cent for the decade.
The salaries and wages paid to these
employees aggregated $54,429, ,405, an
increase of 35 per cent for the period
1912-'17 and of 67.9 per cent for the
decade. The number of revenue pas
o~A-6S4 Se'A iASN WoS Gt9VL,OAO, ZOO, Oh
17.2 per cent more than in 1912 and
SOB per cent more than in 1907. The
revenue car mileage amounted to 432,-
266,955, an increase of so per cent
for the later fve-year period and Of
28.4 per cent for the decade. The in
crease in passengers carried was
therefore, much more rapid than in
car mileage.
The income from all sources in 1917
was $145,077,977, of which sum S137,-
476,991 represented revenues from
railway operations. The rate Of in
crease in the total income was TIA per
cent for the period 1912-'17 and 58.2
per cent for the decade. The operat-
ing expenses aggregated $500 ,232
an increase of 25.5 per cent over 1912
and of 53.7 per cent over 1907; and the
deductions from income, comprising
taxes, interest and fixed charges
amounted to s5o,l67,146, an increase
of 1862 per cent for the later five-yea1
period and of 41.9 per cent for the
decade. The net income, therefore
was $11,550,619, a decrease of 17.2 pei
cent, compared with 1912, although an
increase of 1888 per cent compared
with 1907.

Financing Through Cheese
Factories

\ NEW channel has been dis
u covered for diverting the
surplus money of rural New
York State into the great reser-
voir of funds Of the United
States Treasury. From now on
the upstate cheese factories will
act in an absolutely new and
unique capacity in helping Carter
Glass, Secretary of the Treasury,
raise money to meet the govern
ment's war bills. This is how it
will work: The cheese factories
in Jefferson County, for instance,
will serve as units about which
the thrift and Victory Liberty
loan campaign organizations will
revolve. Allotments Of thrift
stamps or subscriptions to the
new loan will be turned into the
cheese factory along with the
daily load Of milk, and when the
day rolls around for the farmer
to get his "cheese check" from
the cheese maker he will find a
small deduction made on account
of his subscriptions to the loan.
The farmer is said to have put
his 0. K. to the idea, so that it
will begin to bear fruit in the
near future.

A Bull on HUMANITY
And the Stock Market

" A LOT of perfectly well-meaning
people are worrying about the
future of civilization" said Edward S.
Little, Of the Stock Exchange firm Of
Chandler Brothers & Co., yesterday,
"but l am bull on humanity. 1t is
true that civilization has been sick.
but I believe it is getting we'll again.
In this country we have had long
spasm of isms' and 'ologies' and in
divldualism. Individualism has been
running our public life to a large ex-
tent.
II believe I can see clear signs of
getting away from all that and getting
back to Il foundation Of organized po-
litical effort in public life Probably
we shall not see old fashioned machine
politics in this country again, but 1
believe that we are going to proceed
very rapidly from now on toward more
clearly defined party government, more
closely organized political parties, and
as a result drifting away from fan
tastic political theories propounded by
individuals or small groups of indi-
viduals for their own advancement.
Our renewed spirit Of nationalism,
brought about by war, will tend to
pull our people together into great
political parties.
eff this comes about, and I believe
that it is coming about now, our polit-
ical thought will be along more clearly
defined lines than it has been in a good
many years past. We can get at things
better. We can formulate our national
policies better by closer adhesion to
party lines than by any other process
that ever have heard Of. For a long
time our national policies have been
formulated by individual leaders in
speeches. I believe we are going to get
away from that, and that our national
policies will be written in the
platforms of our leading political par
ties and then carried out strictly. II
our great political parties have any
policies now | don't know what they
are, nor do | happen to be acquainted d
with anybody who knows what they
are.
National spirit, vital, closely knit
political life, definite national purpose,
firm confidence in the solid common
sense of the Anne rican people arc essen
tial to business prosperity. The world
is engulfed in wild theories of govern
ment. These theories are having no
effect whatever here. The American
people are again demonstrating that
they know how to keep both feet firmly
on the ground. Where one man is in
terested in the sort of whiskers q Boil.
shevik should wear, 5000 men are
thinking about how we can expend our
foreign trade or how to build a stone
fence by machinery.
"How can you help being bullish
in a great, expanding human country
like this? Anybody who is not an en-
thusiast about our future ought to see
doctor. There certainly is some
thing the matter with him"

Removes Grain Embargo
No Shipping Permits Required
by Railroad Administration

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Removal
of the embargo and permit system,
which has controlled the movement of
grain to primary markets since last
fall, was announced to-day by the Rail
road Administration. Officials said the
action was due to the improved condi-
tion of storage facilities, which now
permits the receipt of grain without
restriction.
The embargo was placed during the
fall rush and many elevators became
congested, so that it was necessary to
institute some system Of control which
would relieve that condition. The re-
moval is to save the time and expense
of operation of the permits.
The permit system for movement Of
export grain to seaboard points still
is in effect. Removal of the embargo
on the movement to primary points at
fects points only in the Middle West.
