REBATE CHECKS NOT A SOURCE OF INCOME Cnrry the Cnno ( o ( lip Attorney Gon- crnl , AVliom ; DvclNliui In Ijipri'lcil Thin Week , l > f.'inlliiK AVIilcli Tux INot : Collected. Local railroaders , especially the officials of the legal and passenger departments , arc watching with Borne concern the expected opinion of Attorney General flrlggs of tic ! United States on the mooted question of fie obligation of a railroad company to affix a war rovcnuo stamp on all rebate checks Klvcn by the train conductors to passengers who pay their faro on thu trains. It Is credibly reported that the attorney general Mill render n decision on the matter within the next few tlajs. Several ccks ago the commissioner of internal revenue gave out u ruling that all railroad companies must , at their own ex pense , put n 2-cent war rotcauo stamp on every rebate check glvun to passengers. A number of the railroads , notably the princi pal lines of the west , refused to conform to this ruling , when the local rovcnuo ugcnts , Attempting to carry out their Iti- Htructlons from WaMilnctou , ordered them 1o place the revenue stamps on all rebate checks. In the east the opinion of the Internal revenue commissioner was received dlffer- ontly by various companies. The Pennsyl vania and the Philadelphia & Heading , two of the principal lines of the Quaker City , tit once announced that they would discon tinue giving rebate checks until they were Hiiro that thcbo rebate checks ucra not liable for the war tax. Unlit Tn.v In Alic-nnrr. The local Internal revenue olIlceiB In the vest are not Insisting on a compliance by the railroad companies with the ruling of the Internal rovcnuo commissioner , and It Is said thty hmo been Instructed from " \yaslilngton to hold the matter In abeyance pending the opinion of the attorney general nntlclpatcd within the coming few days Aa a consequence nil of the Omaha terminal lines aio Ktlll Issuing rebate checks to pas- Bengcrs who pay their fares on the trains , Jjut are not afflxlng Mio war lovcnuo Btamps AH stated by a railroad attorney , the con tention of tbc railroad companies li that the rebate checks aio not a matter of revenue to the companies , and therefore Bhould not lie taxed To n Bee reporter ho snld : "When n passenger gets on a. train without a ticket the conductor collects the legulnr faro and 25 cents additional. Tor the 23 cents the imBscngo'r Is given a rebate check. AVhen ho presents this at nny ticket olllcc of the company he gets bark his 2 > couth There are two reasons for adopting this rebate uystcm : It Id nn effectual check on the con ductors , and It encourages passengers to buy their tickets before getting aboard the trains. The railroad company makes noth- lug out of the rebate check. It means noth ing moro to the company than a brass tag. It IB given to the passenger as a iccelpt for 25 cents which will bo refunded to him on the presentation of the receipt. There- fora the railroad companies are going to resist the ruling of the Internal revenue commissioner that a 2-rcnt revenue stamp must bo placed on every rebate check given.

"Tho grosa earnings of American railroads Irora freight are substantially tbo same as the running expenses , " says the New York Sun. "There nro In this country at present ucnrly 200,000 miles of railroad nnd the operating expenses are about $800,1)00,000 ) a year. The freight receipts nre substantially the some $300,000,000 a year. When times nro good commercial op erations nro extensive , business Is brisk and the demands for transportation facilities art many , the freight receipts of American rail roads Increase and along with them there are Increases In the expenses of operation , which usually keep pace. When business Interests languish and freight receipts fall off thcro Is usually a corresponding reduction In operat ing expenses , so that It may bo said that the running expenses of American railroads generally are paid from freight receipts and tlio other Items of revenue , passenger le- cclpts chiefly and mall receipts to a minor extent , pay the Interest on bonds , the divi dends nnd the profits where there are any. "It mny bo said generally that the railroad having n very large and steady passenger business Is , other things being equal , n pac ing road , whereas a railroad the business of which Is chiefly freight Is , other things being equal , not a source of profit. There are very fovv railroads In the United States which have larger earnings from passengers than from freight. Quo such road Is the New York , New Haven & Hartford , which , by the last official report , took In $700.000 more lost year from passengers than from freight and the Now Haven railroad Is known generally as ono of the most sub stantial roads lu the country , Passcngci business on American railroads Is much less easily handled than freight , requiring con- ntantly not only now disbursements but out side expenses as well. Passengers on Am'ri- can railroads have como to expect not only good but the t > est service. They require , too , the highest rate of speed compatible with safety and as much and as good at tention as they could secure In n first-class hotel. Moreover , the competition among American railroads on the chief lines of travel I such that liberal advertising Is necessary to direct public attention to the benefits offered. The question Is sometlmrn asked why It Is that such vigorous efforts nro made by railroad managers to develop the passenger business In preference to freight frame , but the explanation Is ( o ba found In the fact that while the revenues fiom the former are usually regulated by the volume of business , the pnascngar re ceipts nro regulated generally by the char acter of the service offered , Independent of thu condition of buslncsi. Necessarily a rallroal , to enjoy a largo measure of pas senger business , must bo In very good phys ical condition and for this reason snmo of the poorer road a are unable to compete suc cessfully for passenger trade the trade which pays the profit from operation of American railroads , $1,000,000 a day on the average " 1'nt n Cheek on ST.
