His statement Is based on the. re
vised operating returns from 180 com
panies, representing more than 50 per
cent of the total lines of the country.
Of the number, 103 are city and 77
interurban and their total operating
revenue for 1921 was <437,493853 as
compared with $650,149,805 for the en
tire Industry In 1917.
“The Improvement Is not due to any
growth Jn the amount of business
done,” said Mr. Todd, “because the
actual volume of business shows a
slight decrease over 1920. Improved
operating conditions, however, have
helped finance.
“The outstanding feature of the re
ports Is the increase In net Income.
In 1921 it was $22,022,722 as compared
to $7,709,261 In 1920. In the face of a
business depression, with unemploy
ment at a maximum, this Income figure
Is remarkable.
“At the same time, however, traffic
on the lines fell. In 1920 it was 7,606.-
190.270 and In 1921,7,144.332.920, a de
crease of 6.1 percent. The operating
ratio that Is, the operating expenses
divided by operating revenue, dropped
from 78.4 percent In 1920 to 76.2 per
cent In 1921 the source of the good
showing and its bright promise for the
future. That Is helped by the reduct
ion in labor and materials cost.
“The net operating revenue Increas
ed from $93,916,654 to $108,315,732 or
15.5 percent. A $14,000,000, increase
gives a greatly increased purchasing
power and the results should soon be
seen in equipment and better credit
which has been almost at Its lowest
point in the last five years.
“The Interurban lines, while they
have not shown the actual Improve
ment of the city lines, are producing
hopeful signs. They have a decreased
operating expense and, with a return
to more normal business to which the?
must look for both freight and passen
ger Increase, their outlook Is brighten-

It Is interesting to note that one-

Washington, D. C., May 8 Out
of the wood of political oblivion in
Indiana stalked a giant bull moose,
defiant in victory.
The bull moose was none other
than former Senat-jr Albert J. Bever-
ridge. Progressive, who defeated
Senator Harry S. New in the pri-
mnry campaign for .the Republican
nomination for the United Estates
Senate.
Administration critic* profess to
see In the defeat of New a direct
slap at President Harding and his
administration.
New, they charge ran on an out
and out platform indorsing Harding
and the record of his administration.
His defeat, therefore, they point out
is a repudiation of the administra
tion policies.
They hail New’s defeat as a force-
runner of fall defeats for adminstra-
tion candidates.
Cordell Hull, chairman of the
Democratic (national committee, in
a statement, said:
“This is plain, emphatic repudia
tion of the Harding administration
and Senator New's part therein”.
Administration leaders are in
clined to attribute New’s defeat to
the fact that he did very little
campaigning and to alleged dissen
sion within the party ranks caused
by the alleged lukewarm attitude of
Senator James E. Watson’s wing of
the party.
They declare that Beveridge, an
eloquent campaigner, covered thd
state thoroughly and to this in a
large measure they ascribe New’s
defeat.
Attention now swings to Pennsyl
vania, where Giffoi(il ' Pinchot.
another Bull Mooser, is seeking the
Republican nomination for governor
against the candiate of the organi
zation of Gov. W. C- Sproul.
Should Pinchot effect a victory it
would be regarded by some as evi
dence that the American sprit of
restlessness and disire for a change
is rising again, not that it has been
demonstrated that no fairy wand
