ABOLITION OF THE PULLMAN
SURCHARGE SOUGHT BY
ROBINSON SENATE BILL

The Pullman surcharge, the abo-
lition of which is proposed in the
Robinson bill which has been late
ly favorably reported in the SEN
ate, is relic of the government
administration of the railways of
the United States. 1t was contin-
ued in the Transportation Act
among the devices which were de-
signed to restore the railroads to
their feet after their subsection for
two years to government control.
1t had been expected that when
that happy day should come, this
burdensome tax upon the travelling
public would be lifted
The railroads had not previously
sought revenue from that source,
but though they have been pretty
well restored, they are demanding
the continuation of the surcharge,
and are invoking the aid of traffic
organizations and commercial and
industrial bodies all over the coun-
try to aid in the defeat of the Rob
inson bill.
The argument employed is that
the roads need the money, and that
if they cannot secure it from this
source, they must obtain if from
another, the more likely method
bing an increase of freight rates,
which burden would fall upon a
much larger proportion of the pop
ulation, most of whose members do

ADMISSIONS OF A BRIDE
Our wedding has been postponed!
The strangest thing has happened!
Last night on our way to the church
a bank book slipped from my hands
the pass book ,of my niece, Emil
lie, who only has 1925 on tap.
Ulysses, true gentleman that he
is, stopped to pick it up, and with
his simple, childlike curiosity (men
are just big boys, don't you think
or do you?) read the figures.
And then he bolted. Nerves, I
suppose. The strain on him must
have been awful, although 1 wore
thick veil.
But he will be found. l know he
will. Father and the boys are look
ing for him now. With shotguns. l
am so thrilled!
I just know they will bring him
to me, safe and sound. All three
of my other husbands were found
the same way. They cannot fail!
