NATIONAL BANK THE - OF ASHLAND PROFITS &4nr AAA A A CHRISTMAS WITH THE TOILERS OF THE SEA 1A.NDLUBBERS that you are. did you ever retlect thnt there Is a world where Christmas Is as meaning less a day as the 24th or 20th of December? Did you ever think far euough beyond the spicy vapors of your own plum pudding to realize that the seafaring -folk were living their Christmas day as If they knew naught of its fame? They do know what It means, however, as well as ever do you, but winds lash and waves thump on the 25th as on every other day, and It's a foolish suilorman who counts on turkey or holly berries. The chances are he'll see little of them. Christmas is disobliging enough to come In the very beginning of the mad dest weather, and the weather never gives way one inch. The pilotboat people and the life savers make pa thetic little attempts at holding holi day, but ten to one they will be noth ing more than attempts. If the sea chooses to make merry In Its own way the sea commands and must be obeyed. The captains of the life saving sta tions along the beach try each year to celebrate with thplr men. A turkey Is always brought to the headquarters and a good meal prepared around It as a star attraction. But anywhere from drumsticks to nuts and raisins may come the signal from the coast guard. Perhaps a crab fishing boat has capsized: perhaps It is a big ship going down the result Is the same The Christmas turkey is left to grow cold, the mince pie is forgotten, and it's off to launch the lifeboat and then to the oars and away. Night or day the summons may come. If at night there are a flashing of lights on the beach and a fight, man against Etorm, in the blackness of the surf. On the lightship provision is made for a good dinner, but there the pleasure euds. Day and night the ship rides at anchor ten miles off shore. Always the clanging of the fog bell Is heard and the lights are watched, and break in the mouotony there is none, save for a better bill of fare than usual and an extra glass of grog, then back to the bell and the lights again, and men for get what Christmas celebrated or that it was celebrated at all. It was during the carving of the last turkey that the bells rang fiercely, for a fog was driving in past the beads, and lights were being enveloped in it Two new men were among the crew, and they sprang, frightened, away from the table. The old sailors assured them that it was no trouble out of the ordinary, but they could not be induc ed to come back to the dinner. Tbey are blase now and are laughing at other new men, but their companions have not forgotten to mention the din ner that they missed by gazing shud deringly into a winter fog and expect ing the death of themselves or some one else every moment. Christmas Is a lottery to the pilots. No man of them knows when his turn is coining to guide a ship into port, and ships must be guided when it is their captain's will. Some of the pilots may have a snatch of the day at home In the midst of Santa Claus gossip and tin horns and stuffed stockings. Who ever the other pilots may be, they are on the water with a good dinner stow ed away awaiting Its opportunity, which may or may not come. If a ship is suddenly sighted, then never mind the dinner. The life on the great steamers and sailing vessels is more systematic, and it is worth while to prepare for as much merriment as the homesickness 'of empty sea view will permit. There may be a Christmas tree and music and dancing; but. be you a sendog or a landlubber, it's all the same you would rather be at home over a table that does not roll and spend a good Christian Christmas with all its tra ditional nonsense.

The Tidings is ir, receipt of a pam phlet containing the address of Pres ident Sproule of the Southern Pacific I Railway at the annual dinner of the I ban Francisco Chamber of Com merce, held at the Palace Hotel, De cember 9, 1912. The address con tained some remarkable statements, among them the following: "In the state or California in the past fiscal year the Southern Pacific Company paid out 76 cents directly to the people of this state for every dollar gross that it earned for its own treasury for transportation ser vices rendered within the state of California. Mind you, this 76 cents for every dollar gross was paid to; those within the state of California. This 76 cents does not include and hence takes no account of materials and supplies bought and paid for out side of the state, such as rails, loco motives, cars and hundreds of other important railroad items necessary for a large railroad system and which cannot reasonably be bought in this state. This 76 cents does not, of course, include any payments for interest on bonds, for dividends or anything of that kind. To state it in dollars, in the past fiscal year the Southern Pacific Company paid out for wages in the state of California $32,000,000, anci for merchandise and miscellaneous expenditures, not including taxes, $10,000,000." Mr. Sproule also stated that the Southern Pacific paid 24 per cent of the taxes collected by the state of California from the "banks, insur ance companies, franchises and pub lic service corporations generally un der the present system of state rev enue." President Sproule made these statements as a preface to a plea to the Chamber of Commerce for what he called fairer regulation of the railroads. He expressed the opinion that the railroad commissioners should be upheld by public opinion as fully when they made a decision in favor of the company as they were when they made one in favor of the shipper or complainant.
