Tor OF the Railway Age IN an ad-

The taxpayers OF the country saw

Referring 70 tho fact that former
Director-GeaeraI Of Railroads W. S.

Mr.. Dunn said:
IL government operation and the

uent 20 the railroad companies IN the
ten months ended June. 1921. would
have been $742,5O0,000. In these same
ten months the railroads actually
earned 6 net operating income OF only

The saving TO tho public OF this

M. Dunn opposed agitation Tor

the repeal OF the provisions OF the

that thu roads as yet have derived no
