This action, while apparently a popular one, is class legislation and as such is bound to involve losses not only to the railroads, but to the traveling public who ride in the day coaches and to a number of communities «*»*r now enjoy sleeping car service. T O t h e R a i l r o a d s , it i n v o l v e s i m m e d i a t e l y a l o s s o f $ 4 0 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 i n revenue annually, which will have to be made up somehow. The surcharge is the only revenue that the railroads get for the hauling of the heavier equipment and the inci- dental special service of parking this equipment at the stations and in coach yards. In fact, the railroads have always had to pay to the Pullman Company a certain small I\ charge for the mileage of each Pullman car and besides a guarantee of a certain mini- m u m of return covering a period of years. All of the returns for berths, e t c , go to the Pullman Company excepting the surcharge. T H E s u r c h a r g e w a s f o u n d n e c e s s a r y b y t h e U n i t e d States R a i l r o a d A d m i n i - stration. Its continuance has been recommended by the Interstate Commerce Commis- \ sion after an exhaustive study of the entire question of passenger travel returns. THE Pullman sleeping car after all is a hotel on wheels. It provides an unusual service. It represents a heavy investment per passenger. The berth charge \ and the surcharge of 5 0 per cent (which latter is the onlv revenue the railroads derive from this high class service) together, are not out of line with the charge for a room in a modern high class hotel. SINCE the Pullman sleeping car passenger enjoys greater comfort than \ does the passenger in the day coach, he should expect to pay for the added comfort. The Pullman passenger is allotted two and one half times as much space as the person riding i n the day coach.

The cost to the railroad of hauling a sleeping car passenger is, therefore, approximately twice as much. Should not the sleeping car passenger pay for these additional privi- leges to the passenger and the obligations devolving upon the railroads?
