SENATOR CAPPER
SAYS.RAILRoADS
ARE PROSPEROUS R !
Wall Street Agency Declares
Big Roads are Making Money.

The great railroad systems of this
country have been making money
this year despite the coal and rail
strikes, declared Senator Capper
who produced figures. to refute the
poverty pleas of railreRd ;financiers.
A Wall street agency is Quoted that
l.; great railway systems will in
crease their dividend rates during
the next few months: one of them,
the Chicago & North Western, to 8
per cent. ~ ,.>j-E-E
This year the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railway is earning about
25 per cent on it's preferred stock
and 13 per cent on its common. It's
surplus has increased from $685.
100000 to $105,0OO,O00 during the
last seven years. Last year, not so
good year for the railroads as this
one, the operating expenses of the
Santa 'Fe absorbed $80,O00,O0O of it's
earnings, it put .ss4,oo0,0oo into i'm
provements and added $4,000, 900 to
its surplus" said Senator Capper.
This year the Union Pacific. is
earning Is per cent and has a very
large surplus, about $20O,O00.000.
This year the Burlington is pay
ing it's stockholders a 20 per cent
dividend.
This year the Louisville & Nash

"Still later calculations this year,
based on nine months of railroad
earnings, and they are highly con-
servative calculations, indicate that
the Great Northern will earn per
Marquette. S.4 per, centy the Chesa-
peake & Ohio and Southern Pacific,
each 10 per cent; the Illinois Cen
trail. II per cent.
"Stock in Reading has advanced
to new high mark for the year.

re- Western declares an extra dividend
at the rate of per cent a year in
addition to its regular Z per cent

The Southern Pacific earned 3
per cent last year and will do still
! better this year. After paying it's
usual dividend of 20 per cent the
Lackawanna in 1921. paid stock
dividend of 100 per cent and is now
on IL per cent basis, The Lehigh
Valley is paying per cent dividends
and earnings a good deal more.
"These are signs, I take it, that
these roads are not suffering from
lack of business nor from lack of
|iprofits. We know that the valuation
on which transportation charges are
based is liberal. The former chief

improvements in economic cOndi-
ions in Russia have synchronized
With the work of the American Re
lief Administration. This may be
merely a coincidence, but it is sig
nificant that the morale of the Rus
sian people rose as the famine was
broken. AS late as March 1, last,
very shop in Moscow was closed
with the exception Of the government

Then came the change. A decree
issued late in February authorized
ne shops to engage in traffic. 1t was
almost too good to be true. Many
doubted it. All were more or less

slowly at first. but before the end Of
March shops all over Moscow had
opened up. The goods at first dis
played had evidently been stored
since pre-war days, but before long
there flowed in goods of recent ac-
auirement, for the most part Of Ger
man origin.
With the opening of the shops a
wonderful change was apparent.
There came the new harvest. Food
was plentiful in Moscow. The res-
taurants and cafes were open. T"af-
fic on the streets had resumed, and
in September last. six months after
the issue Of the new decree, Moscow
had taken on all the appearance OF
an important business center.
Only Children Being Fed.
The conditions in Moscow have
spread to other cities. and every

reconstruction is now to hand. On

and save tor minor organization t."

personnel has been withdrawn. Rus
sia is now left to her own resources.

day the running time to Moscow has
been cut down to two nights instead
nf three nights on the road. New
locomotives are in service on all the
chief passenger traffic roads, and
the train which leaves Moscow every
Tuesday and Friday for Minsk with
rs fine train as is to be found in
Europe.
The train service between Moscow
and Petrograd is fully up TO pre-war
standard. This Is an overnight run,
and the carriages used are those Of

There are through sleeping cars out

kov and Kiev. The old time practice
OF feeling and paying for every serv-
ice performed is now prohibited. The
railway authorities are determined
. that the employees shall be paid ade-
quately for the work they do, but
they do not countenance anything
that smacks of bribing. It is a very

Efficient Railway Department.
In this competition it may oe said
that the administration of the rail-
ways and. of communications is one
of the most efficient in the Soviet
republic. Many on the o.d railway
personnel remained at their posts.
and day by day one sees better and
more experienced men assuming re-
sponsibilities. This has been brought
about by the commissar at the head
of this department., a man Of great
force and determination.
The economic life of Russia is
largely dependent on her communi-
cations. Much was done under Count
Witte in former years. and the in
dications are that the Russian re-
public will show at the outset great
progress in this direction. for in the
communication department are some
of Russia's best minds. The determ-
ination to sort out and stifle all graft
is one Of the best signs nj the new
development.
AS for that matter Moscow, as
the capital of Russia, is. no longer the
city of profligacy of former years.
The new republic has stamped with
a ruthless hand every form of the
old life. There is a certain attitude
OF the Puritan with which some of
those social reforms We're under
taken. Added to this is the great re-
hgious wave which has spread over
Russia. The churches are filled with
men as never before. There, is abso-
lutte freedom of worship in Russia
today. The orthodox, the Jew, the
Mennonite, the Lutheran, the Bap-
tist, the Quaker, all may enjoy their
own places of worship. The Jewish
pale has been done away with and
there is no restriction of the Jew
to certain limits in White Russia. In
pre-war days Jewish girl could
only travel in Russia provided she
possessed a yellow ticket.
Jews in Government Positions.
There are many jews in the new
ordinate places. Such thing was
difficult to ttain in the old govern
ment Moscow is crowded today.
There is not sufficient housing, but
repairs are now going on at an ever
increasing rate, and it is expected
that building will be resumed as new
credits become vaailable. These cred

Of good crops next spring over a wide

to an interest in life and sustained

They have been cheered by the
more liberal policies which have
been decreed and the, are animated
in being able to engage in useful

it possible for former owners of
buildings to take over these proper

state, but long leases are issued, and
taxation is levied through fixed
per cent stipulated to be paid to the
government from the rent income.
The situation with reference to the
manufacturing works has not yet
fully clarified, but there is hope

AMERICAN vs.. FRENCH STYLES

The frcnchman who recently
visited New York studying STYLES
in womcn's clothes and who has
returned TO Paris to resume his
sartorial throne. was quoted as
saying, 81 wanted to see these
American designs to take them
back with me, but did not find
any" However, we shall see
what we shall see. Possibly next
year or the year after we may
discover that the latest thing
from Paris" is reminiscent of the
styles in America in the summer
of 1929.
This matter of style, by the
way, is queer thing any way
one looks at it. a given design
IN hat or gown may become SO
popular that it goes out of style
because of its popularity it be
comes common in the sense OF
being seen too often. In the
matter of American versus
French styles in woman's dress
it may be that our dictator failed
TO find any striking designs here
because all were so uniformly at
tractive. Here our girls are keen
er to adopt and adapt what is new
or becoming in styles than they
are in France, and in this age OF
speed and illustrated advertise
ments the little girl out on the
prairie is only few laps behind
her metropolitan sister.

almost every journal. and every

foots the bills will tell YOU that
he gets more for his money than
the male of the species in any 9TH
