COSTS YOU $50.

y0U and all other Americans CON
tribute an average of about $50
a year apiece to the railroads.
Error sharps who want to check
this figure, can get it by dividing the
population into the railroads total re-
ceipts during 1921.
While some of us may think we
never use the railroads at all, for
freight or passenger service, railroad
transportation charges appear in ev-
erything we buy.
The figure of $50 a year apiece
probably is nearly accurate aver
age, for such things as railroad tolls
have way of slowly buttering out
evenly over the country.
They are passed on and on until
the burden is fairly well divided on
the shoulders of the weary army
known as Ultimate Consumers.
Multiply the $50 by the number in
your family and you know how much
OF your yearly cost of living is due
10 railroad service.
One trouble with "the railroad
problem" is that it has been present
ed mostly in terms of billions-fig-
ures So big that even the average
adding machine cannot handle them,
let alone family that is thinking
in terms of two cents pound saved
on butter
Having got the railroad problem
down to a levy figure of $50 year
apiece, the question naturally rises

CRIME AND NEWSPAPERS.

HoW do you read your daily news
papers? What makes the great
est impressions upon you? What do
you really read, what skim over hur-
riedly, and what pass by without no.
tice? Every paper has plenty of
material treated in each of these three
ways by all of its readers. However,
no tall of it is treated the same way
or. viewed with the same interest by
all of its readers. The prevalent be-
lief that newspapers print a great
quantity of crime items is due to the
way in which the average newspaper
reader reads a newspaper, Lee A.
White, editorial executive of the De-
troit News, said the other night in an
address before the Medill School of
Journalism. This is the way, accord
ing to Mr.. White, the reader goes
through the evening paper:
Column /, disarmament confer
ence. The reader on the disarma-
ment conference: ''Um, UNI, UNI.
Japan um." Finished.
Column two, Stillman case. No
nnls. Close attention. Occasional
mnrmur Of Can you beat that?" One
reader says he must scan the column
because the case is ia sociological
column Another reader says st is
hot stuff. Both skip nary word.
"Column three, the farmer bloc
in congress. The reader: Um, UNI.
Well, ] know what | think of farm
ers., Finished.
Column four: Murder. The read
er: Say, here's mystery in real life.
Why. it's as good as novel No
further sound from him for twelve
minutes. Finished.
"Column five, Orchestra deficit:
Orchestra must be saved. The read
er: Is that so? Well, let somebody
save it then Finished"
By that time, Mr.. White said the
reader turns hurriedly to the sport
page, and after having earned his
rest, sleeps his slumbers disturbed,
however, by the thought of the crime
the newspapers print.

railroads did just about the same
and freight Service for the
average American as in 1921.
The cost of doing this was about
$50 year for each Of US.
In other words, the railroads in
1921 performed nearly the same serv-
ice as in normal times, but charged
two-thirds more. The increase just
about matched the expansion of cost
of living.
A thousand and one morals can
be drawn from the railroad figures.
The most important is, that all eco

be considered in terms of actual
services rendered and bulk of com

in terms of dollars, whose buying
