W.'ia' It 4 <>«t t« Carry S’aurngtm on MVjtern Koatl*. There lx a stu prising amount of mis information among the people regard ing the cost of carrying passengers on inilroad trains ntid to this con dition as a public mhid Is doubtless due much of the sentiment in favoi i of lower rate;, which is finding ex pression through hill* for sweeping re ductions In the legislature of many of the western stales this winter. Mr. J\ S. Kindis, General Passenger Agent of the (’.. I!. & W- K. R., in argu tuen; before the house committee of tint Missouri legislature last week on the two cent bill gave some valuable and surprising Information about tbo passenger business in the went. His statements were based upon the re port a of the Inter-state Commerce Commission and the Railroad and Warehouse Commission of Missouri ami aie therefore beyond question. Mr. Kustis showed in the first place that the volume of passenger truffle on railroads I - dependent upon the density and wraith of population In the terri tory through which It runs, ami then compared the population of Missouri and the traffle resulting from it with *,|ie same figures iu other states, thus cl.r.j/ Illustrating the theory of bis point.

C8 2075.0U Ohio . 00 1951.00 New York .I 4513.00 New Ragland .200 4422.01 Mr Kustis made the statement that while the named rate in most of tho western stales was three cents per mil* the actual amount received i* considerably less than that sum. d his li due to the fact that the railroad bav in;; a long line between two points < arsuui 1 iiiiiK’ • **' ilxed l.y a road having n shorter line, unit to excursion rates demanded by the people, hII of which reduce the aver ay i rate materially. Miii the most surprising assertion mad • by Mr. Kiistl* was that the west ern roads, with possibly one or two In dividual exceptions, carry passenger.* at an actual loss. The HI. Mulls, Keokuk & Northwestern was cited as an instance. Mr. fCustla produced a statement of the exiiense on that road to rhow that the cost per passenger pe;- tulle < xteelled three cents, the legal rr.t**. The report of Ihe Inter-state- Com merce Commission referring to the railroads of Illinois. Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and that part of the !>a kotu> and Missouri lying cast of the Missouri ilver shows that it <-os: the raili (*..ds two and three one-thousandths rcnl> per tulle to carry passengers ex clusive of any charge for taxes, rents, interest on mortgages and other Items nt the kind. Mr. Kustis declared that a two '-ein flat late Ml Missouri would 1 educe the average to one and three citiai-Uis cents If not. lower. |i was shown that lower rates do not largely irr-reuse trafflr and instances -.ve-.e cited where reductions from four cents and tliree and one-lmlf c-ents to ihrcc- cenli per mile did not result in iM ieuFid travel. Answering the- cpieslion as to wheth er or not rates In Europe were- not low#-; than In this country, Mr. l-'nstls -bowed that while the third class rate, on some European lines Is lower, the second class rates, which are paid by the great traveling public, are higher ibau American rates. The conveniences of second and tlthd class travel In Europe are not to he compared with those of Ana lira la point of comfort and convenience. .Nlir Hr.i! II* i II Among the e;icioug results of the re cent battle of 'lie ballots one of the most interesting from many points of view Is the election of Vla'tie Hughe { Cannon to the - vee senate of Utah by an immense plurality ov •: her oppo nent.

The advent of Mrs. Cannon Into the Utah -Pate senate may. however, exercise a per'irldi^g influ ence over a wider circle than that which circumscribes (lie domestic realm of Mr. CaniPin. The prospect of the election of wo rm li to the higher legislative assem blies lias tilled some apparent!-, un prejudiced observers with alarm be cause of ihe paralysing effe.-t which it Is feared their presence may ha-e upon debates.
