•TATI.OWNiO ANO PfllVATC RAILROADS IN fRAMCC.
atsdente of government ownerabtp will be Interested in an e<11tor1at in Tho New York Telephone Review, which preMents some rather striking flgnres regarding the operation of government owned rallrofld.1 In France. Although not expressed in the article, the paral¬ lel is clearly implied tietween the situ¬ ation of railroads under government control and of otber public service en-! terprise* under similar management |
"The Councilor of State of France i has Issued the report on the operstions of the state-owned railroads in tliat country during 1913. It is stated as a cauae for congratulation tliat the lose in operation during tbe year was $16.- 000.000. wblcb is less than In 1912. The state-owned railroad lines In France are about one-flfth of the total mileage. Their freight rates are higher than the privately owned lines, bnt tbeir paa- ¦enger rates are lower. Otit of every hundred dollars of revenue received, tbe government spent from $83 to |8<} for operating expenses, tbe balance be¬ ing insuflSclent to meet the flxed charges of 128,000.000 a year. Out of every hundred dollars of revenue re¬ ceived the privately owned lines la France spent 109.00 for operating ex¬ penses, showing again that private en terprise Is conducted more econamical ly than government nndertakinga.
"Both the govermnent and private tinea ia B^nce charged more than Ave times aa much per ton per mile for freight aa ttae railroads ot the United Statea. The figures ara: In Praaee. government lines nearly one and two- thirds cents, private lines nearty ona and one-third cents: In tbe United Btates, less than a quarter of a cant"
Tbe fact that it costs privately own¬ ed railroads opiy abont two-thirds of what It costs government owned rail¬ roads to operate ta France Is a star- ttlng fa«t and tbe flgurea any cast some valuable light upon tba raflroad sttnatlOB In this country.

THE MDCRAL TELEPHONE TAX
Tbe numerous details which iMV* had ta l>e worked out in connactioB with tha coUection of the federal Ux on trtephone messages are described In the current issue of The Naw York Telephone Review. The new law r»' quiring the telepbone users to pay tbe tax lias meant the change of many coin Iwx telephones in the system, the preparation of new collection routines, the adoption of new accounting meth¬ ods, and the distribution of hundreds of thousands of circulars and placards to advise telepbone users of the require¬ ments of tbe act.
Tbe volume of extra accounting work necessitated by the law may he partially judged from the provision that within thirty days after the expi¬ ration of each mouth the Company shall make a sworu statement to the Collector of Internal Revenue in ita district or districts, stating the num- l)er of telephone messages or conver¬ sations originated at each of Its ex¬ changes, toll stations, or offices, and transmitted over Its Hues during the precedldg month, for which a charge of 15 cents or more was imposed. For each of these messages the Company must collect from the person paying for it a tar of one cent in addition t( the regular charge for the message. This tax the Company shall turn over to the Collector of Internal Revenue. Only one payment of the tax is re¬ quired, although the lines of one or more persons, firms or corporations may be used for the transmission of each of the messages.
In connection with the tax on tele- phono conversations, the law applies not only to all messages on which the Initial rate Is 15 cents or more, but also to all messages on which the total charge of the Telephone Company, in¬ cluding overtime, amounts to 15 cents or more.
The Company is responsible* for the collection of the tax and for Its remit¬ tance to the government, and as soon as the law was passed The New York Telephone Company began to prepare for the work of compliance with Its provisions. One of the first tasks was to make a devlee for receiving pennies for coin box telephones. On the 50 cent machines the mechanism Is ar¬ ranged so that the tax Is Inserted In the quarter slot at the direction of the operator and then falls Into a separnte compartment In the coin box. Every such coin Iwx telephone In the system has been equipped with this device, a task of no small size.
Special arrangements have been made for billing subscribers for the tax imposed on their messages and new collection routines and account¬ ing systems have been put Into prac¬ tice. During tbe life of the law, all telepbone bills will Include a toll serv¬ ice statement showlog tbe messages taxed and the amount of sucb tax.
In order to explain to all telephone users the provisions of the law and the methods adopted for collecting the Impost four dltTerent forms of put>- licity have been circulated. Folders containing a digest of the taw and a description of tbe method authorised for collecting the tax were sent to sub¬ scribers with the December billa The January statements also will include these foldera. Otber circulars slmilai tn text were sent to agents at pay sta¬ tions otber tban those equipped witb collecting devices. Theee folders also were furnished to Cktatpany attended pay stations.
Placards announcing the passage and effect of tbe law have been placed con¬ spicuously at all public telephones. '
The -»ubllc therefore bus been fully advised as to the methods in force for collecting the tax and the Company is confident tbat it will bave thr tallest co-operation of telephone nsats.
