tm FROM THE
STATE CAPITOL
RAILROAD STATISTICS SHOW
SLIGHT INCREASE IN
EARNINGS
GEN. STONE WOULD EXCHANGE
FLAGS WITH RECS.
He Believes that If Trophies Were
Returned at Gettysburg Reunion
It Would be a Great Drawing
Card.
(By Gurd M. Hayes)
Apparently there are grounds for
the poverty wails emanating from the
representatives of the various rail
roads operating in Michigan. At
least, a comparison of last year's busi
ness, w ith the business of 1911, accord
ing to statistics of the state railroad
commission, show that there was but
a slight increase. During the last ses
sion of the legislature and in the
course of the Pere Marquette investi
gation, the point was raised that the
increase in business was not keeping i
pace with the increased expense.
For the fiscal year ending June HO,
1911 the freight revenue for all steam
road3 in the state amounted to $11,
541,184.37, while for the fiscal year
ending June CO, 1512 the business In
creased to $14,.5!),7S0.24, a gain of
$2,818,505.87. Taken as a whole this
might be considered a comfortable In
crease, but distributed among all the
roads of the state it is not considered
a very excellent showing.
In 1011 the total passenger earnings
from all steam roads amounted to
$15,820,337.21. Last year the total
was $10,430,741.02, an increase of only
$41(5,403.01. Almost without exeep
tino the railroad men appearing before
the legislature last winter declared
that there was no money in the passen
ger business and that the earnings on
the freight end were being reduced
through governmental regulations.
The records of the state railroad com
mission show that the rii'.lroads car
ried 7S.191.024 tons of freight last year
as compared with 72,838,803 in 1911.
This is an increase of 5,353,121. The
total number of passengers carried by
steam roads in 1912 was 23,351,881 as
compared with 22,243,340 the previous
year. This section of the report
shows a gain in the number of passen
gers carried of 1,108,541.
In 1911 the passenger earnings of !
the Michigan Central amounted to $4,
449,816.20, and for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1012 the books show $4,
016,98. The passenger earnings of
the Pere Marquette amounted to $3,
095.967.07 in 1911 as compared with
$3,174,572.56 in 1912. Th Lake Shore
&. Michigan Southern increased Its
passenger earnings from $1,287,208.03
to $1,315,222.31. The Grand Trunk
advanced from $2,251,250.01 to $2,516,
008.20. The figures are taken only on
the principal roads but the averages
are approximately the same.
The four big roads made but little
gain In the revenue received from
handling freight In 1911 the Michi
gan Central received $10,669,081.17,
while last year the total was $11,356,
848.22. The Pere Marquette shows an
Increase from $8,460,641.95 to $8,832,
309.93. The Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern advanced from $1,878,746.55
to $2,144,026.29 and the Grand Trunk
from $1,922,144.61 to $5,310,445.73.
Gen. George W. Stone of Lansing,
past commander of the Michigan G. A.
R. and chairman of the Gettysburg
Reunion Commission declares that it
is time that Michigan returned to the
southern regiments the confederate
battle flags captured during the civil
war. Further than that Gen. Stone
thinks It would be a nice thing for the
southerners to return to Michigan
any flags belong to this state that were
taken during the stormy days of the
rebellion.
It Is Gen. Stone's contention that
this exchange should take place on the
battle field at Gettysburg when the
boys in blue and those who wore the
grey meet July 4 on the historic fight
ing ground on the flfteith anniversary
of the most bloody battle of the war.
To make it a little stronger and fur
ther cement the ties of friendship bet
ween the north and the south. Gen.
Stone says that all the states should
participate in this arrangement. Such
an event has never occured in the his
tory of the world, and to see two fac
tions, once hostile, but now bound to
gether for a common good, exchang
ing the colors captured In battle would
be an event that would draw thous
ands to the famous battlefield.
During the closing day of the state
G. A. R. encampment In Lansing this
question was discussed with consid
erable feeling by many of the old vets
and with but few exceptions they arc
in favoring of returning to the "John
nies" the colors which for nearly half
a century have reposed among the war
relics In the capltol museum.
There are few men among the
Michigan veterans who still retain a
feeling of Intense hatred for any one
who wore the southern grey and one
Old ?oldIfr who lost an rye at the bat
tle of Lookout Mountain declared most
emphatically that '-be vould be d-d
If he even shake hands with a reb." if
he attended the big reunion at Getty
burg. However, time and the Spanish
American war has apparently cured
many of the Michigan veterans of
thoir intense feeling towards the
southerners, the fact that several con
federate veterans are to travel with
the Michigan men to Gettysburg for
the big reunion July 4 is given as evid
ence of the fact that times have
changed.
While a crowd of veterans were
standing in the lower corridor of the
capitol where the war relics are dis
played in glass cases, some one re
marked that it was about time to re
turn the confederate flags. There
was some debate on the pi .position
and a poll showed that the men were
unanimously In favor of this propo
sition. The flaps of the Fifth Confederate
Artillery which wan captured by the
Fifteenth Michigan Infautiy July 22,
1864 would be returned if this ploicy
is carried out. There is another flag
from a North Carolina regiment cap
tured by the Second Michigan Cavalry.
AiiOiher tattered banner was captured
April 3, 1805 by the Second Michigan'
Infantry.
The Hag of the First Alabama Rebel
Cavalry, which fell into the hands of
the Fourth Michigan Cavalry Is one of
the interesting relies of the war that
may be returned. The guidon of tho
Ninth Louisiana Battalion captured by
Company l Sixth Michigan Infantry
at Baton Rouge, August 5, 1S02 is also
among tho interesting souvenirs. An
other banner is the one carried by the
Fifty-fourth Virginia Infantry which
was captured at Bentonville, North
Carlina by the Fourteeth Michigan In
fantry March 10, 1SG5. There is a flag
belonging to a North Carolina com
pany which was taken at Ashville,
N. C. In the case of war relics is the
fl;:g of the Yriginia "Taylor Greys"
which was captured by Capt. James
L. Carpenter of the Seventh Michigan
Infantry. There are also three other
confederate flags ia the Michigan war
museum, but their identity has not
been preserved and apparently no one
knows to what company they origin
ally belonged.
State Fir Marshall C. A. Palmer
makes a pica for a safe and sane ob
J se.-vance of Independence Day In a
bulletin issued from hi3 department.
He points to the fact that in 1009 there
were 20 cities in the state where sane
celebrations were held and he says
that the list of dead and injured has
decreased each succeeding year. He
claims that there was not a single
injury in the cities where the fourth
of July was quietly observed last year.
"Each year our celebration of In
dependence Day is marred and our
I satifaction and pleasure made less
keen by accidents which apparently
in many cases might have been avoid
ed, says Palmer." It may be well that
we in the celebration of this day in
which we all take so much pride
should co-operate with the fire chlef3
and others whose duty it is to combat
conflagations and to prevent the same
where possible. Perhaps it is not
amiss for this department to give a few
words of direct admonition caution,
and warning at this time.
"In the use of fire works it is best to
select a place for the display which is
net adjacent to buildings or inflam
mable material. Care should be used
in throwing explosive's where they are
apt to start a fire or smoulder and
break out at any time without any
preliminary warning. After the even
ing or afternoon enjoyment It would
seem advisable to make an examin
ation and see that stubs are not smoul
dering which might later cause fires.
An ounce of prevention on July 4 Is
worth several tons of cure on July 5.
"Last year the fire losses in Mich
igan as a direct consequence of the
fourth of July were less than ever be
fore, and it is to be hoped that the
people of this great commonwealth
will this year reduce that splendid re
cord. All chiefs of fire departments
and others whose duty it is to see that
the lavs relating to the use of explos
ives of the prevention of fires are en
forced, are directed to exercise un
usual caution."
As a result of the recent decisions in
the United States supreme court rel
ative to the jurisdiction of state legis
latures and railway commissions to
fix rates, there is a general feeling
among Michigan state officials that
the Duluth South Shore & Atlantic
railway company will be beatenin Its
attempt to avoid carrying passengers
for two cents per mile in the upper
peninsula as required by the act of the
1011 legislature.
This opinion Beems to be shared by
many residents of the upper peninsula,
as word has reached Lansing that
speculation if the due bills issued by
the Duluth South Shore & Atlantic
weeks. When the act was passed bj
the legislature two years ago the up
per peninsula road announced its in
tention of contesting the constitution
ality of the law in the federal courts.
In the mean time, passengers were re
quired to pay the old rate of three
cents per mile. Each passenger was
given a due bill which would entitle
him to a refund from the company In
the event that the courts finally held
the law to be constitutional.
