(Henry J. Allen lu Uhhlta r.eaeon.i
What would yon tlilnk of a phy-
sician who would diagnose a cane
from pctieral appearances without
takinic the count of the pulse of plac-
ing Ms ear at the heart?
What wculd you think of a mercan-
tile aeny which uul! atto.npt to
fi. the flrniulal Mamllr.K rf a busi-
ness comern ami cive It proisr rat-
ing purely ''"" appearances or ru-
mor or prejudge?
What would you think of n hcr.-
in who would unherltatliiKly pai-s
judgment upon a metal from the
mere hearsay of some man who held
no scientific diploma?
The answer Is onviou.
And vet unie of the politicians of
th rountiy do not hesitate tc tell
the people all about the profits of
the rail.ivg civine mythical figures
that come from Imaginative trains.
And the people usually cautlix.a In
dealing with their own I)i1fIiiohh iact.
accept without nuostlon the meat fab-
ulous statements nhout raliroads.
Probably there are not many people
la the land today who If nkcd about
railroad carnlncs of last your would
rot Immediately yell that earnlnua
were greater and expenses smaller
than ever before.
And yet the plain fact of Indls-
putable records are that there was a
decrease In the revenues for tho 1lsui
year endlnu June Z l'll. And
there was a great Incisure In opera t-
Ing expenses.
Fortunately there are reliable sta
tistics upon the subjet for these who
wish to study the net results of rail-
way operation. Tho bureau of rail-
way economies shown that the rail-
ways of the country earned t".2M
per mile each day Inst year In carry-
Ins freight. passengers mnlls. and
express. This was 19 rents per mile
per day less than for the flcsa. year
ending June 30 IS 10. Thla would
be for all tho railroad $1 ..'" i
less In revenues than the p'evions
fiscal year yielded
Here's the other side:
While revenues wero suins 0n
at the rate of lit cents per mile per)
day. operating expenses were coin
up fi." cents per mile per day.
The total operating expense wero
$12.5? re' mile per day for the past
