The "fancy" Salaries
of Railway Officers
= tAn Editorial in the Railway Agel

There has been much talk for years
about the fancy salaries paid by tho
railways. It is. therefore. interesting
and instructive 20 find how few really
large salaries have been paid and wh8l
a trifing sum they have aggregated iI
comparison with the total earnings, eX-
penses and pay roll OF the roads Rep
rcsentative Sims has made public a list
Of the salaries amounting 10 $4,000 or
more which were paid by the railway
companies in 1917, the last year Of prl-
vatc operation. There were about 20,
GEO general and divisional officers In
1917. The list shows that POO, or about
per cent Of these. received $50 600 or
more The aggregate amount paid to
these 900 officers was s66ii07l. This
was SIC out Of each $4,000 Of the total
earnings OF the roads, S2i out OF each
$4,000 OF their operating expenses, and
s30.s0 out OF each $4,000 that they paid
out in salaries and wages The amount
was so small that II instead Of having
been paid 10 the officers IL had been di-
vided between the employees. the aver
age employ would have received less
than 81 wear more than he actually
did. The aggregate salaries OF all those
receiving sl0 600 or more wore less
than si9OOOO0 This amount IL divid-
ed between the employees would have
added less than 1925 TO their average
wages for the year While to a man
who Is receiving an income OF perhaps
81 0O0 10 $1,000 a year salaries OF S2O,O0
20 100000 may seem very large. the
fact is that The incomes which railway
officers have enjoyed in proportion TO
the amount Of energy and ability they
have devoted 10 their work have been
much smaller than the incomes made
by men OF corresponding rank in other
lines OF industry. While il is very un-
usual for a railway officer 10 receive a
salary OF $4,000 a year, II Is by no
means unusual for men in purely In
dustrisl and commercial business to
make incomes exceeding these amounts.
A certain newspaper. in commenting
upon this list of salaries Of railway or
ncers remarked that Il was adopted to
Increase the sentiment for government
ownership among railway employees, be-
cause Il would make them feel more
sharply the difference between their in
comes and those Of the higher officers.
As matter ~ fact a very large ma
ioriiy OF the men receiving large sal
aries have risen from The ranks Of the

Edith, little three-year-old daugh,
ter Of Sheriff and Mrs, Ben H, Rem

in the best Of health during the day
Monday--she had played with the
other children during the entire day
and enjoyed q hearty supper. 1t
was only short time after the sup
per hour that the child complained Of
being sick, and everything that low

do was brought into play in an effort
to relieve and save the life Of the
sweet little girl.

Top Notch Reached;
All Records Broken

We announced ii Monday even
ing's Daily Sun that the record break
ing price on hurley tobacco had been
reached-this was thought to be true
when an average Of AZ cents was fig
ured for the ally. Later figures and
later sales yesterday developed the
fact that the average price paid Mon
day was over 46 CENTS PER
POUND. This does not sound hardly
reasonable. There viii doubtless be
many who will dispute these facts.
1t is really too good to be true This
is three times the amount that farm
ers and tobacco growers received for
their crops only two and three years
ago. As a result our people are in
better shape financially than they
ever were before. One local bank
paid out MORE THAN $4,000 FOR
TOBACCO ALONE on Monday.
There was really nothing unusual
about this, either, for there hasn't
been single day since the market
opened here that this amount or even
more has not been paid out for bur-
ley tobacco.
Sales are running more smoothly
since farmers have discovered that it
| is best to not ruch their crops on the
floors. This one fact is responsible
to certain degree for the six or
seven cents increase in prices Mon
day. Buyers are given a chance to
work off their stock when sales are
not glutted. At the rate sales are
running now warehouse men tell us
that it will require some six weeks
yet to finish the sales.
