INCREASE IN COST OF RAILROAD EQUIPMENT The following quotation from an address byS. M. Felton, President of the Chicago Great Western Railway, before the Chamber of Commerce, Dubuque, lowa, on November 14th contains seme interesting remarks: persons realize how great has been the increase in the cost of equipment, for instance. A locomotive, fifty freight cars and caboose cost ibput $74,000 in 1913. The same train would cost today about 5175,750. an increase of 149 per lent. A modern Mikado loeomo tive in 1913 coMt about $23,000: today it costs $60,000. increase if 161 per cent. A larger type if locomotive cost $25,000 in 191? md today $75,000, an increase o 4 JOO per cent. A box car which :ould be bought for SBOO in 1913 •osts from $2,000 to $2,800 today, in increase of 150 to 250 pei •ent. A typical caboose now osts $2,060. which is 100 pei ■ent ten years ago. There are seme items* entering into the arrangements necessary or the travelling public’s comfort, items which have become :o commonplace an to be over 'ooked by the public generally No doubt, most persons consider • dining car a money making ride line of the railroad; many •ersens. indeed, complain of the □rice charged for meals. But, as i matter of fact, dining cars are operated primarily as an accomnodation, and at a Substantia) 'rss to most railroads. In 1915 ‘he Chicago Great Western received an average of 65 cents a neal in its dining cars. The average cost per meal was 84 cents* repairs and depreciation included, 30 that we actually lost 19 cents >n every meal we nerved, or ibout $1,600 a month. In Jami ary 1923, the average meal in ur diners ‘cost the passenger 86 •ents, but it cost the Chicago Great Western $1.66, repairs and depreciation to car included, a loss of 80 cents a meal or about $8,500 a month. No hotel could continue to operate under such conditions. A dining car equip? oed and ready for service represents an investment of $52,000 or more. ’■ o ELECTION OF OFFICERS IN M. E.

FARMERS ARE 1 GETTING DESPERATE Faced with the unfavorable conditions in agriculture in many legions of the United States chat have resulted in a widespread emigration from the rural districts to the cities and in Justrial centers, estimated bj the United States Department ol Agriculture at nearly 2,000,00 t during the years 1922-23 many American farmers are seeking betterment through the enactnent of state or national le.gis» 'ation. There does not appear tc >e any general agreement as to the kind of laws that they want jr ’that might reasonably be ex jected to give them better re urns for their labor and capita’ nvested in their farms, but thej ire agreed that for many of them 'xisting conditions are intoler tble, and that lime method *o! ( •elief must be found. United states Senator Wheeler, of Montana, aptly expressed the senti nent of the West when he dedared that the farmers are tirec »f theories, and that they do not iropose to go along with Mr .Coolidge’si suggestion. He closed i more or less fervid statement with the assertion that the West would send representatives to Washington that would make Magnus Johnson look like a rank conservative, unless something angible is accomplished, and xxm. It is a serious situation, not alone for the farmers, but for the great mass of people who are dependent on them for an existence. Money has been loaned until it is doubtful if the lebts can ever be paid -certainly not under existing conditions. , Co-operative buying and selling is only a partial remedy, one that will require several years to produce tangible results. Meanwhile the farmer struggles almost hopelessly along because there’s no other place for him to go, and nothing else to do. -o --- t GREATEST SERVANT OF MANKIND Samuel Insull says: “Tremendous changes are coming in America with the development of power. Fifty years from* now Power will be so cheap and accessible that man will be independent of his surroundings. . “A vast system of central generating plants will place Power at the disposal of the sfmall village and the isolated farmstead as well as the great city. •’Power will make the comforts and luxuries which are today inseparable from the large city available to every home in the country, “Electricity will perform all the mechanical processes of industry and most of the domestic services. Electricity spells the knell of drudgery.” o Ohio has a prohibition law that makes it unlawful to transport liquor into the state for a : personal beverage, Fines up to SI,OOO with imprisonment are ■ possible for possession of such private stocks. The state prohibition commissioner announces ‘ that he proposes to insure that • Cleveland will be bone dry dur- • ing the Republican National convention next June. But next June is a long wdy off—and there are ways and means of securing the soft pedal during certain ceremonies, At leastj the 1,000 I delegates and ten or fifteen ! thousand prospective shooters . are not worrying. The Italian government has de- . | rided to permit postage stamps J to be used for private commerrlcial advertising. The advertise.j ment is to be separated from the {stamp proper by a perforation. » Italy uses about 1.300,000,000 . stamps annually and the governi ment will receive a profitable income. t —”— »- w w * BANK STATEMENT ' - Stfpbfs Freeaaa, Preild»Bt » J.

Satisfaction is truP )y a wonderful thing and this satisfaction is attained Q by those who are enjoying a Grebe radio set. Alkd though many are fooled into believing that they can buy as good a product for half the price, the student and careful observer can quickly see in the Grebe the wonderful material used.

Only 74 failed to pass the tests. It has been =r»id that these students rank fully as high as their American brothers, both in use of English, and knowledge of law. It cerI tainly speaks well for the Filipino schools and colleges.

A SERIOUS STOCK SITUATION Perhaps the most outstanding and interesting national event of the past Tew days was the Pennsylvania Bureau of Securities' refusal to grant permission to the Consolidated Steel and Iron Corporation of Indiana to sell $5,000,000 worth of its common stock in Pennsylvania. Postmaster General Harry New, and both the Indiana Senators endorsed the stock and urged Pennsylvania officials to lift the ban. but were met by a firm refusal on the ground that the assets, are misstated and the stock is not what it should be. This presents a most unusual state of affairs. Either the Postmaster General and two United States Senators whose duty should be to protect the people from stock frauds, are parties to a questionable financial deal, or the Pennsylvania Bureau of Securities has committed a grave blunder. There should be a thorough investiga-r tion and airing of the facts, and unless it is done and the Indiana officials exonerated, the investing public will be justified in questioning other istsues endorsed by officials who ought to be held responsible. o Must l« Sema Diractor.
