About Feople of the Railroad 20

I T IS a peculiar facr and one which creares many problems rhar alrhough freighr rraffic is rhe lifeblood of mosr railroads rhe man on rhe srreer bases his opinion of a railroad largely on irs passenger service

All of us have observed roo rhar rhere is a feeling among people even among rhose who regularly choose rhe privare aucomobile or rhe airplane for rheir own [Iavel needs rhar rhe passenger rrain is basic in rhe rransporrarion scheme of rhings and rhey are eager ro know more abour rrain service

Having so recenrly spenr more rhan $3000000 for rhe 10 Super Dome cars now in rhe consisr of rhe Olympian and Twin Ciries Hiawarhas our own fairh in rhe furure of railroad passenger rraffic should be fairly obvious

Briefly The Milwaukee Road proposes to continue offering paJSenger service wheretJer and to whatever extent public patrollaKe indicates the need for it And long as there is a reaJOnable chamL of shouing a Jrofit 011 any gi1~1l train we will continue to invest in eq1lipshyment and services il1 tIx hope of attracting patlollalaquo

Wirhin recenr years The Milwaukee Road has disshyconrinued a number of rrains whose service was plainly no longer needed by rhe public This course which has been approved and encouraged by rhe National Assoshyciarion of Railroad and Uriliries Commissioners as well as by shippers organizations realizing as rhey do rhac passenger losses can be covered only by increased freighr rares provides rhe parrern rhis railroad musr of necesshysiry follow in rhe furure

In some areas such anion has jeopardized remporarily rhe good will of individuals and organizarions whose friendship means a grear deal ro us Ie has been my consranr hope thar they as well as all Milwaukee Road people will come ro view rhese anions wirh breadrh of vision and will undersrand rhar where rising opera ring cosrs combine wirh insufficienr patronage and no hope of increasing parronage drasric anion is imperarive

Faced by rhe presing comperirion of rival agencies parrially supporred by governmenral granrs we and all railroads find ourselves in rhe posirion of choosing as jr were berween senrimenr and success And ro choose anyshyrhing bur rhe larrer is ro invjre collapse and do a disshyservice ro rhe whole public

Meanwhile however ir should be undersrood rhar rhis railroad is in rhe passenger business co sray and rhar wirh rhe cooperarion of all employes ir will pursue an aggressive passenger rraffic policy

The rraveling public may conrinue ro look ro The Milwaukee Road for rhar brand of superior service so well rypified by rhe new Super Dome cars

Scholarship StudentWins Engineering HonorThe Future of Passenger Service

I T IS a peculiar faCt and one which creates manyproblems that although freight traffic is the lifeblood ofmost railroads the man on the srreer bases his opinionof a railroad largely on its passenger service

All of us have observed roo that there is a feelingamong people even among those who regularly choosethe private auromobile or the airplane for their owntravel needs that the passenger rrain is basic in thetransportation scheme of things and they are eager to

know more about train service

Having so recently spent more than $3000000 for the10 Super Dome cars now in the consiSt of the Olympianand Twin Cities Hiawathas our own faith in the futureof railroad passenger rraffic should be fairly obvious

Briefly The Mi1vaztkee Road proposes to continueoffering paJsenger service where1Jer and to whateverextent public patronalt~e indicates the need for it And II

Long as there is a reaJOl1abLe chame of sholling a profilon an) gi1t1l train we wiLl continue to invest in eq1lipshyme1Jt a1Jd servires i17 tlx hope of altlatting patTollal(

Within recem years The Milwaukee Road bas disshycontinued a number of trains whose service was plainlyno longer needed by the public This course which hasbeen approved and encouraged by rhe National Assoshyciation of Railroad and Utilities Commissioners as wellas by shippers organizations realizing as they do tharpassenger losses can be covered only by increased freightrates provides the pattern this railroad must of necesshysity follow in the future

In some areas such aCtion has jeopardized temporarilythc good will of individuals and organizations whosefriendship means a great deal to us It has been myconstant hope that they as well as all Milwaukee Roadpeople will come ro view these aCtions vith breadth ofvision and will underStand that where rising operatingCOStS combine with insufficienr patronage and no hope ofincreasing pmronage draStic aCtion is imperative

Faced by the pres~ing competjtion of rival agenciespanjall y supported by governmental grants we and allrailroads find ourselves in the position of choosing as itwere between sentiment and success And ro choose anyshything but the lancr is ro invite collapse and do a disshyservice ro the whole public

Meanwhile however it should be undersrood thatthis rail road is in the passenger business to stay and tbatwith the cooperation of all employes it will pursue anaggressive passenger traffic policy

The traveling public may continue ro look ro TheMilwaukee Road for that brand of superior service sowell typified by the new Super Dome cars

As the principal speaker at the a~shy

)ociHions regional and board of directors luncheon meeting in Chicago Mr Kiley milde 11le point that if we liCd in any of the iron CUrtain countries we wonld be more keenly aware of the freedom to trlvel by reason of its absence How pleasant to contemplate he said I-hat here in America we dont luve In go to the police to get a permit to 1110V( from place to place If we are on a train we arent nwakened in the ni~hl al slate lines by customs officers who selCch our ba~glce and demand to ee passports

[ believe lhis freedom is a basic cleshymenl in our liberty Travel breaks down Kclionalislll It makes for unclerstanding the people of one section by those of another It btl_ilds unit) without which a nation cannot bl stfClng Tn support of this slalClllenl lie C1uolcmiddot1 a past presishydent of Ihe 111(1 orglnizalion Don Thoma IS slyinL [vcry peat lhing we hae dOl1c as nllion has had ils rools in whal wc krill the spirit of An1lricl There is no finer way to reshynew Our entJlllsiasl11S and beliefs in Americl Ihan to get out and trwel and sec Ihi spirit at work

Mr Kilql said that when you conshysiller the tremendous number of people wllo depend on the travel industry for their livelihood and its value to the nllion in broadening the outlook of our cit i7Lns it is reasonable to think that om legislalors would do everythin pos~ihkmiddot to help it along or at least do nOlhing to hinder it Yet the sad fact

March 1953

is he said that last year the people paid a tax of 280 mi Ilion dollars for the right to travel about the count ryan trains airplanes buses and boats and the government not only eXlcted this lribllte but required the carriers to colshyle(t it A little more than half of the al110unt was collected by the railroads

This is not the time nor the place tmiddoto discuss whether excise taxes are right or wrong in principle he said but 1 believe most of us agree with former Secretary of the Treasury Snyder A fe years ago he went on record as opshypl1sed to excise taxes which are regresshysive in effect-which decrease the pur chasing power of the public for necessary commodities and service and obstruct the normal functioning of our economy

The 15 per cent transportation tax surely falls into this category The tax adds $15 to every $100 so the buyer of transportation pays $115 fqr only S100 of travel If this doesnt mean decreased purchasing power I dont know how you would describe it

The reason for imposing the tax early in World War II-to deter people from travcling at a time when our transporshy[al ion facilil ies were hmdcned with the joh of llloing war goods and military personnel-is IW Ionger a valiJ argushymCllt for lis continnance Iletid In fact it 1l0W looms as an nh~1 lcle In J

Mr Kiley contended that jf the trashycling pubtic had the 280 million dollars to spend that the government exncled in transportation tax last year ther would have been widespread benefits not only to the transportation agencies but to scores of other types of business which exist to serve travelers The railshyroads he said arc working constanLly to aiel these interests by providing the acshycommodations and services that encourshyage travel

I T IS a peculiar facr and one which creares many problems rhar alrhough freighr rraffic is rhe lifeblood of mosr railroads rhe man on rhe srreer bases his opinion of a railroad largely on irs passenger service

All of us have observed roo rhar rhere is a feeling among people even among rhose who regularly choose rhe privare aucomobile or rhe airplane for rheir own [Iavel needs rhar rhe passenger rrain is basic in rhe rransporrarion scheme of rhings and rhey are eager ro know more abour rrain service

Having so recenrly spenr more rhan $3000000 for rhe 10 Super Dome cars now in rhe consisr of rhe Olympian and Twin Ciries Hiawarhas our own fairh in rhe furure of railroad passenger rraffic should be fairly obvious

Briefly The Milwaukee Road proposes to continue offering paJSenger service wheretJer and to whatever extent public patrollaKe indicates the need for it And long as there is a reaJOnable chamL of shouing a Jrofit 011 any gi1~1l train we will continue to invest in eq1lipshyment and services il1 tIx hope of attracting patlollalaquo

Wirhin recenr years The Milwaukee Road has disshyconrinued a number of rrains whose service was plainly no longer needed by rhe public This course which has been approved and encouraged by rhe National Assoshyciarion of Railroad and Uriliries Commissioners as well as by shippers organizations realizing as rhey do rhac passenger losses can be covered only by increased freighr rares provides rhe parrern rhis railroad musr of necesshysiry follow in rhe furure

In some areas such anion has jeopardized remporarily rhe good will of individuals and organizarions whose friendship means a grear deal ro us Ie has been my consranr hope thar they as well as all Milwaukee Road people will come ro view rhese anions wirh breadrh of vision and will undersrand rhar where rising opera ring cosrs combine wirh insufficienr patronage and no hope of increasing parronage drasric anion is imperarive

Faced by rhe presing comperirion of rival agencies parrially supporred by governmenral granrs we and all railroads find ourselves in rhe posirion of choosing as jr were berween senrimenr and success And ro choose anyshyrhing bur rhe larrer is ro invjre collapse and do a disshyservice ro rhe whole public

Meanwhile however ir should be undersrood rhar rhis railroad is in rhe passenger business co sray and rhar wirh rhe cooperarion of all employes ir will pursue an aggressive passenger rraffic policy

The rraveling public may conrinue ro look ro The Milwaukee Road for rhar brand of superior service so well rypified by rhe new Super Dome cars

I T IS a peculiar faCt and one which creates manyproblems that although freight traffic is the lifeblood ofmost railroads the man on the srreer bases his opinionof a railroad largely on its passenger service

All of us have observed roo that there is a feelingamong people even among those who regularly choosethe private auromobile or the airplane for their owntravel needs that the passenger rrain is basic in thetransportation scheme of things and they are eager to

As the principal speaker at the a~shy

)ociHions regional and board of directors luncheon meeting in Chicago Mr Kiley milde 11le point that if we liCd in any of the iron CUrtain countries we wonld be more keenly aware of the freedom to trlvel by reason of its absence How pleasant to contemplate he said I-hat here in America we dont luve In go to the police to get a permit to 1110V( from place to place If we are on a train we arent nwakened in the ni~hl al slate lines by customs officers who selCch our ba~glce and demand to ee passports

[ believe lhis freedom is a basic cleshymenl in our liberty Travel breaks down Kclionalislll It makes for unclerstanding the people of one section by those of another It btl_ilds unit) without which a nation cannot bl stfClng Tn support of this slalClllenl lie C1uolcmiddot1 a past presishydent of Ihe 111(1 orglnizalion Don Thoma IS slyinL [vcry peat lhing we hae dOl1c as nllion has had ils rools in whal wc krill the spirit of An1lricl There is no finer way to reshynew Our entJlllsiasl11S and beliefs in Americl Ihan to get out and trwel and sec Ihi spirit at work

Mr Kilql said that when you conshysiller the tremendous number of people wllo depend on the travel industry for their livelihood and its value to the nllion in broadening the outlook of our cit i7Lns it is reasonable to think that om legislalors would do everythin pos~ihkmiddot to help it along or at least do nOlhing to hinder it Yet the sad fact

March 1953

is he said that last year the people paid a tax of 280 mi Ilion dollars for the right to travel about the count ryan trains airplanes buses and boats and the government not only eXlcted this lribllte but required the carriers to colshyle(t it A little more than half of the al110unt was collected by the railroads

This is not the time nor the place tmiddoto discuss whether excise taxes are right or wrong in principle he said but 1 believe most of us agree with former Secretary of the Treasury Snyder A fe years ago he went on record as opshypl1sed to excise taxes which are regresshysive in effect-which decrease the pur chasing power of the public for necessary commodities and service and obstruct the normal functioning of our economy

The 15 per cent transportation tax surely falls into this category The tax adds $15 to every $100 so the buyer of transportation pays $115 fqr only S100 of travel If this doesnt mean decreased purchasing power I dont know how you would describe it

The reason for imposing the tax early in World War II-to deter people from travcling at a time when our transporshy[al ion facilil ies were hmdcned with the joh of llloing war goods and military personnel-is IW Ionger a valiJ argushymCllt for lis continnance Iletid In fact it 1l0W looms as an nh~1 lcle In J

THE ]5 per ctnt transporltt ion tn imshyposed during World V7tr 11 President J P Kiley told the National Asso(lltiun of Travel Organizations on Feb ~() is unpatriol-ic in thal it opuates to rest rill one of the priceless prii leges of ewry American-the freedom lo travel

As the principal speaker at the a~shy

)ociHions regional and board of directors luncheon meeting in Chicago Mr Kiley milde 11le point that if we liCd in any of the iron CUrtain countries we wonld be more keenly aware of the freedom to trlvel by reason of its absence How pleasant to contemplate he said I-hat here in America we dont luve In go to the police to get a permit to 1110V( from place to place If we are on a train we arent nwakened in the ni~hl al slate lines by customs officers who selCch our ba~glce and demand to ee passports

[ believe lhis freedom is a basic cleshymenl in our liberty Travel breaks down Kclionalislll It makes for unclerstanding the people of one section by those of another It btl_ilds unit) without which a nation cannot bl stfClng Tn support of this slalClllenl lie C1uolcmiddot1 a past presishydent of Ihe 111(1 orglnizalion Don Thoma IS slyinL [vcry peat lhing we hae dOl1c as nllion has had ils rools in whal wc krill the spirit of An1lricl There is no finer way to reshynew Our entJlllsiasl11S and beliefs in Americl Ihan to get out and trwel and sec Ihi spirit at work

Mr Kilql said that when you conshysiller the tremendous number of people wllo depend on the travel industry for their livelihood and its value to the nllion in broadening the outlook of our cit i7Lns it is reasonable to think that om legislalors would do everythin pos~ihkmiddot to help it along or at least do nOlhing to hinder it Yet the sad fact

March 1953

is he said that last year the people paid a tax of 280 mi Ilion dollars for the right to travel about the count ryan trains airplanes buses and boats and the government not only eXlcted this lribllte but required the carriers to colshyle(t it A little more than half of the al110unt was collected by the railroads

This is not the time nor the place tmiddoto discuss whether excise taxes are right or wrong in principle he said but 1 believe most of us agree with former Secretary of the Treasury Snyder A fe years ago he went on record as opshypl1sed to excise taxes which are regresshysive in effect-which decrease the pur chasing power of the public for necessary commodities and service and obstruct the normal functioning of our economy

The 15 per cent transportation tax surely falls into this category The tax adds $15 to every $100 so the buyer of transportation pays $115 fqr only S100 of travel If this doesnt mean decreased purchasing power I dont know how you would describe it

THE ]5 per ctnt transporltt ion tn imshyposed during World V7tr 11 President J P Kiley told the National Asso(lltiun of Travel Organizations on Feb ~() is unpatriol-ic in thal it opuates to rest rill one of the priceless prii leges of ewry American-the freedom lo travel

As the principal speaker at the a~shy

)ociHions regional and board of directors luncheon meeting in Chicago Mr Kiley milde 11le point that if we liCd in any of the iron CUrtain countries we wonld be more keenly aware of the freedom to trlvel by reason of its absence How pleasant to contemplate he said I-hat here in America we dont luve In go to the police to get a permit to 1110V( from place to place If we are on a train we arent nwakened in the ni~hl al slate lines by customs officers who selCch our ba~glce and demand to ee passports

[ believe lhis freedom is a basic cleshymenl in our liberty Travel breaks down Kclionalislll It makes for unclerstanding the people of one section by those of another It btl_ilds unit) without which a nation cannot bl stfClng Tn support of this slalClllenl lie C1uolcmiddot1 a past presishydent of Ihe 111(1 orglnizalion Don Thoma IS slyinL [vcry peat lhing we hae dOl1c as nllion has had ils rools in whal wc krill the spirit of An1lricl There is no finer way to reshynew Our entJlllsiasl11S and beliefs in Americl Ihan to get out and trwel and sec Ihi spirit at work

Mr Kilql said that when you conshysiller the tremendous number of people wllo depend on the travel industry for their livelihood and its value to the nllion in broadening the outlook of our cit i7Lns it is reasonable to think that om legislalors would do everythin pos~ihkmiddot to help it along or at least do nOlhing to hinder it Yet the sad fact

March 1953

is he said that last year the people paid a tax of 280 mi Ilion dollars for the right to travel about the count ryan trains airplanes buses and boats and the government not only eXlcted this lribllte but required the carriers to colshyle(t it A little more than half of the al110unt was collected by the railroads

This is not the time nor the place tmiddoto discuss whether excise taxes are right or wrong in principle he said but 1 believe most of us agree with former Secretary of the Treasury Snyder A fe years ago he went on record as opshypl1sed to excise taxes which are regresshysive in effect-which decrease the pur chasing power of the public for necessary commodities and service and obstruct the normal functioning of our economy

The 15 per cent transportation tax surely falls into this category The tax adds $15 to every $100 so the buyer of transportation pays $115 fqr only S100 of travel If this doesnt mean decreased purchasing power I dont know how you would describe it

The reason for imposing the tax early in World War II-to deter people from travcling at a time when our transporshy[al ion facilil ies were hmdcned with the joh of llloing war goods and military personnel-is IW Ionger a valiJ argushymCllt for lis continnance Iletid In fact it 1l0W looms as an nh~1 lcle In J

Mr Kiley contended that jf the trashycling pubtic had the 280 million dollars to spend that the government exncled in transportation tax last year ther would have been widespread benefits not only to the transportation agencies but to scores of other types of business which exist to serve travelers The railshyroads he said arc working constanLly to aiel these interests by providing the acshycommodations and services that encourshyage travel

To insure such service he disclose1 Ihat since the end of World War II The Milwaukee Road has spent more than 14 million dollars for 33 e1iescl and electric passenger locomotives and o(r 20 million dollars fur 263 pnssenshyger train cars includin~ the 10 new Super Dome cars thM wenl inlo service just before the beginning of the year Moreover tlK Road ~pcnl more than five and a hal f mi II ion dollars advermiddot tising our passenger seficc and the ~ashycation areas we serve

The ABCs of Stain Removal

EVEN with the most efficicnt tnundry e911iprnent there are s()mc wasltdny jobs that demand personal atlention One of the mosl important is tbe removal 0

stains from glrments and linens All clothes should be dlecked for

stains at the time the laundry is being sorted Slalns should be removed before LUll1dering or they UJay become worse and perhaps impossible to get out later Here lJe recommendations for stain reshymoval for both washable lnd nonwash able materials

The ABCs of Stain Removal

EVEN with the most efficicnt tnundry e911iprnent there are s()mc wasltdny jobs that demand personal atlention One of the mosl important is tbe removal 0

stains from glrments and linens All clothes should be dlecked for

stains at the time the laundry is being sorted Slalns should be removed before LUll1dering or they UJay become worse and perhaps impossible to get out later Here lJe recommendations for stain reshymoval for both washable lnd nonwash able materials
