light, or at terminals where Industrial
tracks and their sharp curves give
them monopoly over their big
brothers, which likewise now rule over
the main lines because of the demand
to move heavier trains and the ever
increasing volume of business. But
the old engines continue to do their
share and are as good as they were
when built, Fox says, because they
have been carefully maintained.

ROADS ARE LOSING MILEAGE
Absence of Expansion Since 1916
Worrying Railroad Officials.

Notwithstanding the continuous
growth of the United States and the
necessary demand for increased rail-
according to reports made to the in
not only ceased to gain but has ac-
tually been losing ground.
At the end of June 80, 1908, there
were owned by all the steam rail-
roads in the United States, not includ-
ing switching and terminal companies,
total of 233,46S miles of railway.
The amount gradually increased from
year to year until the peak, 254,251
miles. was reached in 1915. Since
that time the number of miles owned
has been less with each succeeding
year, the loss from 1915 to 1920 be-
ing in excess of 1000 miles.
According to a well known Santa
Fe official, the fact that no expansion
in the way of increased trackage and
other facilities has been made by the
railroads since 1916, when considered
from the standpoint that the country
has grown in other directions is caus-
ing railroad executives great concern
at this time. And yet officials gen
orally do not seem to entertain much
hope of it being possible for the rail-
roads to change their program of ex-
pansion materially during the next
twelve months, but they are hoping
that the higher executives will fin
a way to include in the annual bud
gets. now before them for final ac-
ton, enough money to permit some
advancement along this line during

RATES DOWN FOR HOLIDAYS
Christmas Travel to Coast Less, Roads
Announce Officially.

Miss NJ. L. Doering, city passenger
agent for the Union Pacific, early FRI
day received official confirmation of
the announcement made in tentative
form earlier in the week. to the at
feet that the railroads will offer re-
duced rates for the approaching holi-
day season. Later in the day Rock
Island passenger officials also con-
firmed the report, and at theoffice of
J. NJ. Council, general passenger agent
for the Santa F'e, it was stated that
the reduction had practically been au-
thorized.
The rate will be u fare on round
trip tickets to points where the one
way selling rate is $25 or less, with
$3.50 as the minimum excursion rate.
By the conditions long distance travel
will not be benefited by the rate,
neither will it apply between points
where the reduced rate would amount
to less than $3.50.
The selling dates will be limited to
December %, % and "a but the tick
cts will be good for return up to an in
Guiding January 4. The conditions
also call for the most direct route
and no stopovers will be allowed.

served every day at the Railway Y. NJ
c. A. Cafeteria where a meal, sufficient
to satisfy the appetite of even rail-
reader, may be had for twenty five or

The cafeteria is = new feature with
the Y. NJ. c. A. and is a part of the
new improvements which the associa.
ton made during the summer and
fall at a cost of approximately S18,
600. The building was thoroly over
hauled and remodeled and with addi-
lions was brought strictly up-to-date.
The cafeteria is located on the first
floor of the building on the east side,
the gymnasium having given away in
its favor. Lack of need on the part
of railroad men, especially those EN-
ployed in the shops, for physical eX-
ercise, and the fact that many of
the office men were members of the
Central association, where the facil-
tiles are larger and better, caused the
Railway association to discontinue its
gymnasium. and besides the manage
ment felt that an eating place for the
accommodation of the men was a
necessary addition.

The room is now equipped with
tables and chairs sufficient to seat one
hundred persons at a. time. and thr,e

TAX OFF JAN. |
War Over So Far as Railroad
Charges Are Concerned.
Elimination of Tax a Big Saw
ing to the Public.

The general public will experience
considerable relief from high trans
portation charges. on and after Jan
uary !, 1922, when war revenue
charges will disappear in accordance
with the new tax measure recently
passed by congress.
The elimination of the war tax
amounts to a flat reduction of 8 per
cent on passenger and Pullman fares
and per cent on freight rates IN
dividually the removing Of the tax
from passenger fares will be felt most
altho the saving on freight bills in the
aggregate will reach a tremendous
Those not in the habit of dealing in
percentages or who have been paying
the tax on passenger fares so long
thev now fail to notice it, will no
doubt be surprised when they real
ize what the saving will mean to
them especially when travelling some
distance, altho the saving will be OF
the same proportion the country over.
For instance, Topeka persons who
are figuring on going to Los Angeles
TO spend the remainder of the winter
will save $500 in carfare If they. will
postpone their trip until the first of
the year. To this should be added an
additional saving of $1.59 in Pullman
fare. making the total saving 1888.
To Seattle and Portland the saving
will be even greater.
Aid Kansas Taxpayers.
At the rate politicians and various
board members flock to Washington,
the elimination of the war tax will
mean considerable to Kansas. On
railroad and Pullman fare, together,
and Pullmans are very certain to be
patronized on such occasions. the saw
ing from Topeka to Washington will
be S4.62 or nearly ten dollars for tina
round trip. Passengers from Topeka
to New York will enjoy a saving on
the two fares of 1921. Persons ex-
pecting to go to Florida to get away
from cold weather can buy ton of
coal. remain in Topeka until the first
of the year and save money.
Round trips to Chicago will cost
$3.02 less after January l. to say
nothing of the reduction in the Pull
man rate, which will be so cents.
Tourists to Colorado next summer will
find that round trip tickets to Denver
Will cost $3.26 less. and fishermen who
journey to St. Paul will dig up 1920
less for round trip transportation from
this place, not counting the saving in
Pullman fare in either instance.
How the Saving Works.
Nearer home the elimination of war
tax from passenger fares will mean a
saving of 19 cents from Topeka to
Kansas City, "a cents to Salina A
cents to either Wichita or Hutchin-
son. and eight cents to Lawrence.
The following list shows what the
saving will be from Topeka to some
of the well known points of travel,
on passenger fares, on and after jan
uary /, account of the war tax being
a minus quantity:

ISA MATTER OF REPAIR

Last Many Years.

WIN PROPER OEOOAHllS AOCOAAOtifO9
Last Many Years.
The life of locomotives and other
railroad equipment. also track and
road bed, is simply a matter of main
tenance, according to Fred c. Fox,
general manager of the Santa Fe's
eastern lines.
LAS long as locomotives, cars and
track are maintained they are 100
per. cent" said Fox during an inter
view, this week. when a locomotive
is junked it is done voluntarily and
only when the cost of maintenance
exceeds the value"
The Santa Fe general manager does
not agree with the position taken BIZ
some of the experts who claim that a
locomotive is ready for the junk heap
in ten years and that after twelve
years of service a car, either passen-
ger or freight, is obsolete. Neither
does he string along with the valua-
ton expert who wants to cut the value
of a railroad tie after it has been in
use a few years, Fox contending that
as long as the tie is in service it is
taking the place of a new one and
therefore is 100 per cent.
Old Engines Keep Going.
To prove his contention the general
manager pointed out that some of the
heaviest passenger trains thru Topeka
are being hauled by engines that were
purchased new in 1904, and that many
engines have been in service on the
Santa Fe upwards of forty years,
which shows that with proper groom
ing a locomotive will last practically
forever. They are good at least. until

ceeds their value. Then they are
ready for the junk track which is the
highway to the railroad cemetery.

PAY A MILLION IN PENSIONS
Rock Islands Plan in Force Nearly
Twelve Years.

AN<AA %
The Rock Island pension system
will be twelve years old December 81,
1921. Up to October Is, 1921, total
of $50 applications for pension had
been presented and considered, of
which SAT were allowed, the remain
ing 233 having been found, for various
reasons, as not coming within the rules
as set out by the system. The total
amount paid since 1910 by the Rock
Island in pensions, aggregates about
one million dollars. The number OF
persons granted allowances are about
equally divided between those retired
on account of the age limit attained
and those incapacitated.
About one dollar of every thousand
dollars of revenue from freight ami
passenger traffic of the Rock Island
is paid to retired and pensioned en-
ployes. Pensions are allowed on the
basis of one percentum for each year
of service of the average monthly pay
for the last ten years service-no al
lowance to be less than $4,000 per
month nor more than $4,000 per
month. The minimum and maximum
allowances mentioned preclude any
possibility of anyone receiving an eX-
cessive allowance, or one so small
that it would be of little, if any. value
to the recipient.
Leave of absence, dismissal followed
by reinstatement within one year. or
temporary lay-off on account of re-
duction of force, does not constitute
a break in an employees continuity of
service Employees retired on pension
are not debarred from accepting en-
ployment elsewhere. Pensions begin
on the first of the month following
retirement and cease the last of the
month in which the death of the pen
sioner occurs. Pensions are withheld
only in the case of gross misconduct,
but since the Inauguration of the sys-
tenn it has never been found necessary
to apply such rule.

CAN'T HELP CONSUMER MUCH
Saving Thru Elimination of Tax on
Freight VIII Be Scattered.

Saving 1nfu EunII1dIlOn Oh 1d4 Oh
Freight VIII Be Scattered.
While the elimination of the war
tax from freight tariffs, January 1.
will mean a flat reduction of 3 per
cent and will bring a saving of that
much somewhere along the line of
wholesaler, jobber and retailer, which
in the aggregate will be large, it will
be extremely hard to pass it on
to the consumer buying in small
amounts. In some cases a reduction
of few cents may reach the buying
public, but as a whole the marginal
saving will be too small to count.
For example, the freight rate on
coal from Springfield, Ill, to Topeka,
over one of the local roads, is $4.20
per ton on which the tax amounts to
1925 cents. Even If the coal dealers
should see fit to pass this on to the
consumer the saving would be only
tons of coal per year. In shipping
grain or livestock the discount should
benefit the farmer slightly provided
the margin doesn't shrink before
reaching him.
The freight rate on a bushel of
wheat from the average Kansas town
to Kansas City. according to traffic
Supposing she farmer ships a maxi
mum car of fifteen hundred bushels,
the saving would be $3.50. The ques
ton of his getting it, however, will
depend on whether or not the grain
buyer can include it in the price he
pays the farmer for the wheat.
Dropping the war tax from express
charges will mean an aggregate saving
of about $15,000,000 a year to the pa
irons of the American Express COM
pany, according to E. Z. Brayman,
manager of the company at this place,
as this is what the tax has amounted
to in the past. This reduction may be
felt more by the public than the re-
duction in freight rates, not only be-
cause the tax is at the rate of per
cent on express charges, but because
of the large number of individual
shippers
