ECONOMIES ON ERIE
WATCHED ROADS
Future Level of Rates to Be
Affected by Radical
Moves on Line.
BY j. c. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, March 23.-The oil
of the budget is commencing to work
it's way into every joint and bearing
Of the Erie Railroad. Directors of the
Erie Co. will meet this week to pass
upon the budget and to vote approval
of the program for rehabilitation
which has been worked out for the
road by John J. Burnet, the new
president, to bring the carrier up to a
point of efficient operation comparable
with that of the other Van Sweringen
lines.
This program not only will, affect
the wide eXpanse of territory served
by the 2,323 miles of Erie track be-
tween New York and Chicago, but
the operation of railroads in general
throughout the country. Other rail
road executives are watching every
move of the Van Sweringen executives
and costs and methods of operation
and expense and service to shippers
will be involved accordingly.

These are only a few of the meas
ures which are to be taken to put the
Erie back in a position to pay divi-
dends which have been discontinued
since April 2, 1907.
The transportation of the hard coal
from the companys own properties
undoubtedly will be simplified and
made cheaper and scores of other
changes are planned by the man who
started as a blacksmith's helper on
the Lake Shore and who has risen to
president of the Erie system. Savings
are estimated by some experts as high
as $5,000,000 a year.
Cotton Mistake Costly.
1.-THE costliest mistake in a decade"
is the way business men of the South
characterize the December cotton esti-
mate of the Census Bureau fixing the
crop ut 1858, 900 bales. This was
the second overestimate made in the
Government reports and became appar-
ent with the final ginning figures made
public this week. The bankers and
merchants of the South estimate that
the actual loss to dirt farmers who
produced the cotton sold to middlemen
at prices largely influenced by the
Government estimate will range be-
tween 500, 900, 900 and $500. .000, 900
while the indirect loss to other lines
of business will probably be an equal
sum.
These figures can never be definitely
fixed or confirmed, since the loss came
about both through selling cotton at
a bad time and failing to sell at an
opportune time. The leaders in busi-
ness in the South. however, are vast
ing no time in post mortems. They
are devoting their energies to curtail-
ment of the 1927 paintings in order
to prevent another abnormal yield.

will be to get rid Of 800 locomotives.
The road will rebuild lis Mikado
locomotives, regarded as a most eff
cient type, and buy so more imme-
diately. This type will be equipped
with automatic stolIers and steam
water heaters and used exclusively
except on one stretch where grades
necessitate the use of the Santa t'e or
mountain type of locomotive.
Since it costs 35 cents mile to
condition locomotive and the Erie
engines cover $4,000 900 locomotive
miles year. the saving from this one
item alone assumes startling proper
tions.
The road between here and Chicago
has eight places where engines must
be rcconditioned. These will be cut
to four In other words. the division
runs of each engine Will be doubled
while the recOnditioning cost VIII be
halved. The saving from this maneuver
and from increases in freight train
length and speed, it is estimated, will
Weld SO, 900. 900 additional to the road
each year
Freight Movement Speeded.
Already President Burnet has
speeded up freight movement. The
former speed OF Erie freight trains
was 80 miles an hour. Now 1t is 40
The former train consistd of go cars.
Now 100 are pulled. These results
have been made possible by the use
of dynomometer car behind each
engine, which registers just what pos
sible power is being wasted.
The Erie, heretofore, has contracted
for maintenance Of way work. This
has already been discontinued and
$500, 900 q year will be saved as a re
suit. 1t will do its own repair and
shop work, formerly done under con
tract, as soon as the present arrange
ment expires on June /. This will re-
suit in q similar saving. At four
points along its lines 1t will abandon
shops and concentrate equipment In
the remainder of its plants. The road
now carries regularly in stock from
$11 900 900 to $12 900 900 in parts and
supplies. The present executives Of
the system estimate stocks valued at
Sc 900 600 to $7,00000o are amply suf-
ficient.

 Senator James E. Watson and the Republicans generally of Indiana will do we'll to heed the wise admonition and appeal of the Indianapolis star to clean up the malodorous mess which has soil ed the good name and fame of that great com monwealth.
 The situation in Indiana can be redeemed. and the Republican Party particularly should tackle the job, since it must bear some of the responsibility for conditions obtaining there.
 Chief to blame, however for the unfortunate state of affairs there are the Anti-Saloon League and the Ku Kux Klan. which even yet assume to exercise the function of supergovernment, not withstanding the less conspicuous easti- cations sometimes administered to their leaders.
 The Star is Republican organ and a good newspaper.

Electrical Cooking d Ia Minute.
lNew York Times. )

Soon there will be not the shadow of an ex- euse fer that product of high-tenson eiviltza- ton the delicatessan dinner Greasy, fried foods hastily warmed vegetables out of tins, cold and stale meats will be things of the past when modern households install appliances for high speed cookery.
 The same diathermic electrical apparatus which has been used for medical baking is beinf experimented with for kitchen duty Recent tests it is said show that this high powered equipment will bake potato in sixty seconds. broil a steak in thirty seconds and fry an egg in two seconds Considering that sizable poT tato requires well to an hour in an ordinary oven before it is baked to the proper degree of erumbling delicacy, an apparatus that VII achieve this in a minute seems scarcely short of miraculous.
 For cooking that is measured in seconds, stop watch would be necessary. Three-mlnute eggs would be done before you could say Jack Robinson and minute steak would be simply flash in the pan. Even the busiest housew fs could always find, literally. minute to prepare a substantial meal.
 Apparently the invention would destroy the pourmet's tradition of the hours of loving care that go to the making of a fayorite dish. It ls doubtful whether a Thanksgiving dinner com pletely cooked in two minutes and fifteen sec onds would taste as well one evolved by two days in the kitchen.

TEN YEARS OF RED TERROR.

Early in November the Communst Govern ment of Russia celebrated it's tenth anniversary. It has receded vastly from it's absolute anti-eapi- talistic attitude with which it began its regime. It has been forced to re-ntroduce the hated wage system, to permit trade through private enterprises and to adopt paper currency backed by a gold reserve
 But in other respects Communism as prac- tieed in Russia has changed little in 10 years. It fosters agitation abroad against all other forms of organized government. It's doctrinaires are scattered over the face of the globe seeking everywhere to gain a foothoid for their doc trines Given birth in bloody shambles which swept out of existence the old Russian feudal order if has consistently lived blood-drenched life since it came into being.
 One of the most vivid accounts of the Red Terror comes from the ''Ukens Nyt," news paper published at Oslo, Norway. In recent editorial article which was translated by W. Britt, of this city that paper said
 In the last two years there have
 been many people who have thought
 that the Russian Bosheviks have been
 going through development in
 more moderate and human direction. But
 what happened in Moscow on the sth of
 June 1927, destroyed all Illusion of
 this kind. The murder of 20 innocent
 people made the world turn away from
 the Soviet Regime with horror and
 nobody is in doubt that the methods
 of the Soviet Government have not
 changed.
 People had forgotten that the Soviet
 Government is fundamentally connected
 with the O G. F. u., that is the former
 Tsjeka whose purpose it is to govern
 by the exercise of terror. If this terror
 seemed to be waning in the last year
 if is because there is more work for
 the executoner, no more oilers to
 be found According to official statistics
 of 1923 the Soviet Government has ecuted the following number of persons
 within the different classes of people,
 2s Bishops 1.215 Priests, G,515 Teach
 ers. $500 Doctors, 54,S50 officers, 260
 000 Soldiers 105,o00 Policemen. 4s,o0o

Peasants, ail together about 100000
 executed of which l,300.0 were Sol
 diers, Peasants and Laborers
 No further remarks are necessary,
 the above numbers talk than plain
 ly about the regime of terror the Soviet
 Government Is carrying
 No palmer lesson has been taught by history than that the government which enthrones itself through vicious slaughter and maintains itself only by killing off those who oppose it's philoso- phies cannot long endure Nor will the present Moscow regime survive IL may stay in the saddle for many years yet. but even with the compromises it has already made it cannot hold the Russian people in the bonds of the slavery of terrorism forever.
