REDUCING PASSENGER RATES
Several state legislatures last win*
t r reduced passenger rates to 2 cents
a mile, anil thereby brought forth a
chorus ot jeremiads from the down
trodden railroad magnates, who insist
| that the reduction will drive them into
bankruptcy. Nobody seems to have
i any sympathy with them or have any
; fear that the railroads will <|uit
, business.
Thus does history repeat itself. From
tim. to time legislatures have com
pelled a reduction in passenger rates
and in each case the same wail of im
pending bankruptcy has gone up from
the railroad officials, yet in each case
a steady increase has been noted in
na-s. ngor receipts. Twenty years ago
ih>- Kansas legislature reduced pus
*euger rates to cent* a mile. I In*
gross receipts for the tirst month at
! cents ami every month thereafter
were larger than they had ever been
it I cents. The same history was
enacted ten y ears ago in Washington.
