Cost of Transporting
the Mail
According to statistics just com- |
piled by flic Railway Mail Commit- j
tee from reports submitted on
forms prescribed by the post office j
department by IX7 railways, opera- 1
! ting 175,710 miles on which there i
are 2,411 mail routes, the railways
of flic United States not only re
| ceive less compensation for han
' dling the mails than they receive
for handling express, but in pro
portion to the cost incurred by the
j roads and the value of the service !
| rendered by them the compensa- j
lion they receive for handling the
n>.; ilB is less than that received for
I any other service.
For flic year ending .June 30,
! 1909 the average earnings per pas-
I senger train mile was $1.27 while j
I the average per freight train mile j
I was 82. i (>. Ihi average passenger i
I train is 300 feet long and if it car- j
ried mail only in all its cars it i
would earn only 97 cents per mile, j
'I he railways receive less for mail j
than from either express or pas
sengers. The other service render- I
ed by passenger trains, while the
total from the three is less than '
half of that received from freight. !
| These figures are based on the i
; amount the' railways received for i
I hauling one foot of car space one !
I mile in the transportation of pas- I
sengers, mail and express. In
November, 1909, the railways haul
ed 1,153,110,24") feet of car space
j one mile in transportation of mail
| for which they received 83,721,79(>; |
! 1,320.108,589 feet one mile in the 1
.
j transportation of express for 85,- j
; 075,222.00 and 9,902,370,150 feet j
| one mile in the transportation of i
passengers for 843,738,723.00. j
1 he average revenue per thousand 1
j foot miles, equivalent to battling a j
train of twenty 50 feet cars one |
mile was therefore as follows: I
mail, $3.23; express, 83.80; passen- i
gers 84.42, the roads receiving 19 ]
, per cent, more per foot mile for
j hauling express and 37 per cent. |
more for hauling passengers than
j they received for hauling the mails.
( I bi.s method of comparison was i
used as the railroads claim it is
manifestly unfair to compare the
rate per ton on mail and
express since under the regulations
and orders of the Post Office De
partment railway postal cars are
limited to an average capacity of
about three tons while express cars
carry from 20 to 30 tons. The !
Post Office Department requires
the railways to haul 22 tons of car
for each ton of mail while the ex
press companies comply with the 1
! demands of the railways that ex
j press matter shall be economically
j loaded.
i.ln addition, the railways com
i panics carry the mails between sfa
j tions and post offices at six
sevenths of the mail stops. This
I service the Postmaster General has
! estimated would cost the Depart
ment 84,093,000.00 annually if
rendered by it. No such service
is rendered the express companies.
Postal clerks are carried free while
on duty and between the ends of
their lines and their homes ami
the roads furnish annually 81,-
000,000.00 of free transportation to
1 various po tl officials. All these
persons have the legal status of
I passenger and the railways are re
quired to ay damages in ea i of
injury. The express companies
j assume all such liability for their
employes. The railroads receive
1 pay for every pound of express
| they haul but under the system of
weighing the mails only once in
four years, the roads get no com
! pensation for the carriage of the
i increase during this period, aver
aging G per cent, or about $3,000,-
i 000.00 worth of service per year,
j From 1907 to 1910 the expenses
of the Post Office Department in
' creased about $40,000,000.00 but
the railroads though they handled
!22 per cent more mail, received
; $352,760.00 less in 1910 than in
1907.

Some Korean Superstitions.
The wildest superstitions are rife
among the natives of Korea, says a
writer In the Wide Worl.l Magazine.
Everything Ik ascribed to the good or
evil Influences of invisible spirits,
whom they strive to propitiate by in
cessant and petty sacrifices. The ser
pent Is revered as sacred and fed as
a domestic pet. Marriage Is a ques
tion of etiquette and is arranged by
the parents. A live goose is given as a
betrothal gift, as a symbol of fidelity
and long life. Filial piety is cultivated
to a remarkable degree, a son consid
ering it his duty to follow his father
to prison or exile. Sacrifices of pigs,
sheep and goats are offered to the fir
mament, to \vhich they pray for rain
or fair weather and the removal of
plague and misfortune.
America Claims the Bean.
T'ntil 18S:i the bean was believed to
have originated in Asia. Researches
among the flora of ancient Peruvian
sepulchres show that it was known in
antiquity in Peru. No fewer than 50
different species have been found in
the old burying places and 49 of the
50 were distinctly American. The se
pulchres explored date back to the
period beginning with the twelfth
century and ending with the fifteenth.
Within them was a great number of
boans —so many that it is reasonable
to suppose that beans held an import
ant place in the agriculture of the an
cient people of Peru. Probably the
common dried bean of modern com
merce was well-known in the antique
world long before the discovery of
Columbus.
"Filthy Lucre."
The expression "filthy lucre" Is of
biblical origin, and is to be found in
the third chapter of the first book of
Timothy, where the qualifications nec
essary for the office of a bishop are
thus set forth: "This is a true saying.
If a man desireth the office of a bish
op, he desireth a good work. A bishop
must then be blameless, the husband
of one wife, vigilant, sober, of K ood
behavior, given to hospitality, apt to
teach; not given to wine, no striker,
not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient,
; iot a brawler, nor covetous."
Bogus Cloth.
What is Paint? Some people think
anything labelled "paint" in paint, but
there's a difference, just as much as
between one kind of cloth and another.
Cloth nine-tenths cotton and one-tenth
wool, is bogus cloth. Cloth all wool
wears to the limit. Paint at a price be
tween 75 cents and §1.50 is like bogus
cloth. The L. &M. Paint is all wool
and wears to the limit. There's a
reason.
