Hughes Looks Like Wilson Will Get ;;. With practically a landslide in the larger voting States in the north like Massachusetts and Illinois for the Republican party it appears that the Pacific slope has gone squarely the other way and into the Demo cratic column and the final reports indicate that Wilson is leading with 234 votes while Hughes has 218, while the results will be in doubt until Later in the day probably th afternoon. Giving Mr. Hughes the benefit of all the doubt in such States as Wiscon sin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, which States have not yet been conced ed by the Democratic leaders in those States, it appears that President Wilson is leading with a fair chance of making the win by a vole of some- ihininceYD while if Mr. Hughes lives to earlier prediction he will hard ly, claim a better figure than that.

MEETING NOVEMBER 21 According to an announcement made by President J. B. Kenly, the annual meeting o? the stockholders of the At lantic Coast Line Railway Company will be held. in Richmond, ,Va on Tuesday, November 21. Owing to the fact that the recent statements of the eompany show that it is making steady progress in eaTnings and unofficial rumors have been earried by. financial papers that the company might increase its dividend, President Kenly wag aswed. what basis there was to warrant the rumor, and replied, "I don't know whatris going to be done about the dividend." The net operating income of tho Coast Line for the-fiscal year ending Jnne 30, 1916, showed an increase over that of the fiscal year 1915 of $2,811,110, ac- , cording to recent statements made by the company. v In the language of railway economics "operating income" is a term which designates the net profit arising from railway operation after payment of all expenses of every kind including taxes. In other words, although President Ken ly is not the authority for the statement, "operating income" is the fund avail able for aurpuls and the payment of div idends. -- The irf ase in the surplus earnirirs is due ti I reduction of the operating expenses iVthe road, the volume of busi ness was not as great as that of If I t and 1913, yet despite the fact that :.. charges for taxes were about l:i j-r cent greater than in the preceding ' year, improved methods and Jmpor!
