RAILROAD MEMS WAGES MUST BE
REDUCED SOONER OR LATER, SAYS
RAIL Way AGE EDITOR I'm ADDRESS
Even With Maximum Traffic, Carriers Can
not Earn Per Cent on the Valuation Fixed
By the /. c. c., With the Present Passenger
and Freight Rates, Is Claim. : ...
lBY TIE ASSOCIATED DRESS


~ New York, Jan. 22.-Railway
, wages should and must be substan-
TALLY reduced sooner or later, and
steps toward their reduction should
be taken in the very near future,
Samuel O. Dunn. editor OC the
Railway Age, told the New York
Railroad club in an address last
night.
Experience since the recent ad-
Vances in rates were made have
demonstrated, Mr.. Dunn continued
that even with a maximum traffic
the railways cannot earn ) per cent
on the valuation fixed b." tho In
terstate Commerce commission With
the present passenger and freight
rates and the present wages. Thcy
are not now handling maximum
business Their freight traffic has
declined 80 per cent since October
and on January s they had n net
surplus of $4,000 cars.
THE demonstrated inability OF
the railways to earn the return eX-
pected even when handling max
imum traffic" Mr.. Dunn said,
land the tremendous decline of
traffic are creating a serious Situa-
ton to which not only railway
managers, but the railroad labor
board, the Interstate Commerce
commission and CrOgress must give
early attention.
Earnings Fall Short.
I'm September the railroads
earned only 81 per cent or the eX-
n
n per cent, in November only 5S
per cent. The total net operating
income they should have earned
for those three months to have
contributed their share toward
per cent annual return was %324,'
417,OO0, while the amount actually
earned was only $219,500, 600. A
this rate they would earn only
per cent: and these were months o.
large business. The Interstate
Commerce commission has recog
nized the principle that the ran
WAYS must earn per cent to ena
BILE them to expand their facilities
sufficiently to give the public AIDE
quata service.
1.-THE public would strongly OPP
pose a further advance in rate
under present conditions Whel
Z iprices of most commodities, and eS
pecially of farm products are de
chning. The only alternative !
to reduce operating expenses. Tn
present very high operating eX
penses are chiefly due to the enor
NOUS pay roll. The enormous pa,
roll is due to the granting of tn
eight hour day under government
control which has caused larg
increase in the number of EN-
: ployes. and to the large advance
) in wages made by the railroad ad
ministration and by the railroa'
labor board last July.
Operating Expenses.
1.-THE operating expenses of IN
roilvavs are now running at tn
rate Of about 5,95O,OO0,000 yeal
rs or over $3,100,000 year more tina
in 1917. OF this increase in OK
rerses almost $2O00000,0O0, o
about two-thirds, is due to in
creases in the pay roll, while mos
~ the remainder IS due to increase
in tic costs Of materials and Sip
plies.

wages at this time. The adVanc

SQUADRON
CAPTURES HILLS
IN SHAM BATTLE
Strategic Points Sacked BY
Calvary Unit of New Mex
leo Military Institute; Din
ner Follows.
Especial Correspondenee to The JOurnaIl

Roswell. n NJ, Jan 22.-Cadets
at the New Mexico Military Insti-
tute were given an outing yester-
day after having completed the
mid year examinations held from
Monday to Friday. Mounted on
the cavalry horses recently re-
ceived from the federal govern
ment, a squadron Of cadets were
marched to the head of North
Spring river and captured strategic
points, all according to instruc-
lions and suggestions of the regular
army officers detailed to supervise
the Inauguration of cavalry work
at the institute. Mounted troopers
were sent out over the hills TO do
scout work and to make maps OF
the surrounding country during
the progress of the ride to the
river. At noon a camp dinner was
served in the field and it is need
less to say that the cadets made
short work of the rations.
An interesting fact has just
come to light at the institute as
the result of the receipt of bull
letin from the adjutant generals
fin lists the New Mexico Military
Institute as the largest strictly
cavalry school in the United
States. A number of the larger
institutions have cavalry units, but
at N. NJ. NJ. l. every cadet is
listed as a cavalryman. In fact
there is only one other exclusive
cavalry school in America and that
is the Norwich university, Nor"
witch, Vermont.
The institute has now completed
its stables, the regulation army in
structors are on the job and each
afternoon the cadets go through
mounted drill. Drills are continu-
Gus from $3.50 to $50 each after
noon. BY the use of this method
all boys have an equal opportunity
TO be trained in the mounted ser
vice. The student body is divided
into four detachments, one de-
tachment at time attending me
| drill.
At the present time there are a
| few more than three hundred
| students at the institute. This Is
almost the maximum number OF
cadets that can be taken care OF
with present buildings and equip.
ment. The institute has enjoyed
phenomenal success during the last
year, maintaining during hard
times a school that has made a
name for itself throughout the ma
ton and has repeatedly won the
approval of those high in the
ranks of the war department
The very life of the institute
and it's continued success depend,
however, on the continued support
of the people of the state, eX-
pressed not alone in Their good
will, but in substantial approprla-
tions through the Legislature.

BEAUTY SPECIALIST
TELLS SECRET
A Beauty Specialist Gives Home
Made Recipe to Darken Gray Hair.

Mrs. NJ, D. Gillespie. a we'll
known beauty specialist of Kansas
City, recently gave out the follow
irg statement regarding gray hair:
Anyone can prepare "a simple
mixture at home that will darken
gray hair, and make it soft and
glossy. To a half-pint of water add
l ounce of bay rum. a small box Of
Barbo Compound and a ounce of
glycerine.
These ingredients can be pur-
chased at any drug store at very
little cost. Apply to the hair twice
week until the desired shade is
obtained. This will make a gray
haired person look twenty years
younger. 1t does not color the
scalp, is not sticky or greasy and

Interest centers in. the babes

who, although in perfect health,

nature. The woman has lost an

by a wild cat" ....
The mans clothes were in tat
tiers, the woman wore the scanty
remnants of a dress and the baby
was naked. They had been driven
out of their home, shack on a
strip of land in an Isolated section,
by high water. Parsons maintains
he owns the land.
The trio had lived principally
on roots, wild fruits and game
which they trapped but there was
evidence of an effor+ to farm with
the aid of a blind horse which
Parsons said he had captured.
Although the mans mind is said
to be more nearly normal than
the womans, he is unable to ac-
count for the child.

usually were discounted. The man
says he is ~ years old but looks

had incomes of $1,000 or more, and
that this one per cent had IA per cent
Of the national income. Five per cent.
representing incomes above 1920,
had 26 per cent of the total. Ten per

Guiding income above 81, 80. had about

the total income.
Shares Of Labor and Capital.
In most of the years since 1912. the
bureau finds that in the principal or
ganiZed industries, wages and salaries
were about 70 per cent Of the total In
come; while capital Qncluding man
agement) received about 80 per cent,
out of which were paid rent, interest
and profits; but these proportions va
ried materially with relative prosper
ity and depression. In 1916, for eX-
ample, the share Of capital increased
to about 80 per cent, with 50 per cent
to labor, while in 1919 capitals share
fell to about 90 per cent, while labor
got about 7S. OF the total payments

Income Tax Diserepancies.
The report estimates that the num-
Der of persons In 1918 having incomes
over 5000. was 100000. and that
their total income was over % billion
dollars. Income tax returns, however,
showed only 2,90S,OOO persons having
over $1,000, and their total reported
Income was less than ii billion dol
lars. This discrepancy is due In part
to technical evasions and straight lille
gal withhOldings, but also in part to
the existence of tax-exempt income
What this means in terms Of the in
come tax is that the government re-
ceived in 1918 about half billion dol
lars less than it would have, IL all
persons receiving $1,000 had paid their
full amount.
