The Kaiy s ttai|y earnings
Cash paid over the coufriter by passen-
gers and shippers is a railroad's sole source
of operating revenue. The average gross
revenue per mile of the M. K. 0* T. Lines
in 1921 was $45.70 a day. In the first
five months of 1922 the average gross
revenue per mile was $36.78 a day.
To serve the public satisfactorily, the M.K.&T.
management must keep the cost of train service,
up-kecp of roadway and equipment, wages, taxes
and rents within this revenue, and maintain a
margin between expenses and earnings that will
attract additional investment, as need develops for
enlarged transportation capacity.
The M. K. O T. Lines represent a property investment,
recognized by the Interstate Coramcrcc Commission under
the Transportation Act, of more than $60,000 a Mile.
In the first five months of 1922, uftcr paying expenses and
taxes', the M. K. O T. Lines earned a net operating income
per niilo, on an investment of more than $60,000 a Milt!,
of $7.65 a day. Most enterprises with like investment
enjoy greater income. None perform an equivalent public
service with less income.
The Katy is proud of it's service to the Southwest.
The compensation it enjoys will bear public comparison
with that of any other business or industry.

Cullen Thomas
Faces Future
With a Smile
Cullen Thomas of Dallas, one j
of the defeated candidaes for (
the Democratic nomination for |
United States Senator, said
Thursday:
"Looking backward on the e-
lection result, I am reminded
of the epitaph on an infant's;
tuinbstone: 'Since I was so;
soon done for, just what was J (
begun for?'
"In the fine words of Frank-
lin K Lane as he fronted the
inevitable, 'I accept.' Nor do I
rail at fate. I wave goodbye to
yesterday without a murmur
and greet tomorrow with a
smile.
"While awaiting election re-
turns 1 read that a bold astron-
omer had revealed in remote re-
cesses of the universe two new I
suns many times larger than
ours,so far away that light trav-
eling at 188 miles a second
would require 5,000 years to
reach the earth. How small
seemed our little world, and how
like fireflies the personal ambi-
tions of man!
First Three Months Ago
"No election ever better ill us- J
trated the kaleidoscopic chan-
ges of politics. I but voice thej
general opinion, shared by those |
not for me, three months ago I
was accorded first place against
the field.
"What happened suggests the
story of what happened to Ole:
"Ilis widow brought suit for
damages against the railway for
Ole's death. On the witness
stand her lawyer asked Ole's
friend to state in his own way
just what hapi>ened. The wit-
ness said.
"Veil, ve vas valkiiy? down
the railway track dalking about
de crops; den I heard a terrible
noise and den a train vhistte;
den I looked around and umped
yust in time do get off de drack.
" 'De drain vent by but I did1*
not see Ole anyvheres. I calleSa
"Ole," but he did not answe*.
1 valkod oop de drack and found
Ole's foot. I valked on and
found Ole's arm. 1 valked out to
von side of de drack and found
Ole's head. Den I said, "Be golly
someding has happened to Ole."
The Ivu Klux Train
"I was walking up ihe track
toward Washington, w lien trie
Ku Klux train came along, and
everybody knows what happen-
ed.
"The intrusion of the klan
question literally cut what
would have been my vote half
in two. 1 did not precipitate the
issue. The announcement of my
attitude swept away the support
of my neighbors, friends, com-
munities and whole counties
throughout the state. I fought
on, undismayed, aganst over-
whelming odds, hoping to the
last to overcome insuperable diff
ficulties.
"Therefore, the election re-
sults do not meausre the normal
strength, either personally or
political, of the respective can-
didates. What is herein said is
explanation rather than lamen-
tation.
"I made a clean single hand-
ed tijyht. I spent my own mon-
ey.I hnd back of me no outside
organization. I appealed to no
special interest. I ninde 110 tra-|
des. I begun free and I remain-
ed free.
Grateful to Supporters
"I am deeply grateful to the
tens of thousands of men and
women who unselfishly honored
me with their confidence and
support. I keenly regret the dis-
appointment o f splendid
friends who gave of th.niselves
so freely to my candidacy. But
office is only an incident. Office
holding is but for public service.
All of us can be public servants
in private life.
"Through the years that have
jrone I have tried to be a good
soldier for the common good.
So I stand ready to answer the
call with the best that is in me-
'For the cause that lacks as-
sistance,
For the wrong that needs re-
sistance.
For the nature in the distance.
And the good tliat I can do.' "

DEATH ENDS I'AIN
OF WOUNDED WAR
VETERAN AFTER 3 Yrs
Baltimore, Md. July 30th.—•
Lieutenant Milton 15. Macnall,
who for the past three years
had lain in a bath tub at the
Fort McHenery Hospital as a re-
sult of a wound received in the
World war, died Monday night.
He was conscious almost until
^ last. The case of Lieuten-I
ant Mackall was without par-1
allel in the military annals of
the country.
He was the only patient not
removed from the hospital when
the grain elevators of the Balt-
omore and Ohio Railroad burn-
ed several weeks ago. Physians
believed his removal would be
fatal. Attendants remained with
him in case removal should be-
come necessary as a last resort.
The wound which caused the
paralysis and death was suffer-
ed Oct. 16, 1918, when a Ger-
man sniper shot him in the bacfc
One of the bullets partially ser-
ved his spimd cord, and for
nearly four years leadinjr physi-
ans of the country andEurope
used all their skill and know-
ledge to aid him in the
against death.
For six months lie reo
treatment in hospitals in
ce, but his condition
worse and the French uutll
ties said ihs case was hope!
Despite his intense suffe
Lieutenant Maskall never
hope.

Yet the makers of USCO have now
produced a still better USCO—a longer

Thicker treat!—thicker side walls.
Better traction, longer service,
more mileage.
