A Few Statistical Figures.
With a large percentage of last
seasons crops rotting at railroad sta
tions for lack of cars: with a coal
famine in the northwest due to the
same cause; with millions of acres of
land undeveloocd for lack of railroad
facilities it would seem unnecessary
to argue this statement. A few facts
will suffice:
The entire tonnage of the United States
carried by the railroads one mile has dou-
bled in years; in 1887 it was :! s. oOo 600 o0o
Seven years more at the rate of in
crease would mean 300, 600. coo, 600 tons.
I'm 1904 less than 100000 tons of pig
iron were produced; in 1905 almost Is, Co.,
600 tons were turned out.
In coal the country's production grew
1851 l7'00'000 tons in 1854 to 'l4'0'00'0 in
THE country produced more than twice
as much cotton in 1905 as in 1903.
Corn turned out an average. yield. the
first five years of this decade just about
90 per cent larger than in the same years
Wheat grew from 49,, 900 bushels in
1895 t. 692. coo, coo bushels in 1906.
THE s., 500, 10000 worth of live stock in
1896 increased to s., 600, coo, 900 in 1905.
1T is true that to meet the constantly
growing demand for transportation fac1l-
tiles the railroads have been largely ex-
banded. but in nothing like the proportion
I'm 1894 there were $4,000 miles of rail-
road in operation; in 1904 there were 2l2,0o0
while iron production increased 300 per
cent, railroad mileage increased 80 per
cent.
The number Of locomotives increased
from Sc, 600 to IS 600 between 1898 and 1904
about SO per cent.
Freight cars increased about 80 per
cent, or from 1.2S4000 to 1.72S,o0O.
Another item emphasizing the charges
most needed in the physical condition Of
or railroads is the enormous loss If lie
attending their operation.
For 1904 the interstate commerce com
miss on reports the loss of life from rail
road accidents to be 1905. while S4,155
were injured.
IF this simple statement does not en-
ph:IsiZe thu need frI lnode-. and uD-to-
date appliances for the protection of pas
sengers and employees it would seem to be
beyond the Dowe~ = Il lie 50.
Would not legislation comp cling railroads
to double track all portions of their line
of more real use to the public at large
than the reduction in revenue proposed,
which might make such an Improvement
prohibitive?
From contact with many who travel
crtensiVely--weE feel warranted IN stating
that the double tracking of railroads to
prevent collisions, the installing of the
collision; the establishing of roadbed Of
sufficient permanence, with bridges OF suf-
ficient strength to bring both up to the re-
Quirements of the new and improved
transportation equipment under all condi-
lions of weather to prevent derallmenI;
and acove all. the use of nor combusttb.3
cars on the order of the stcsl cars now IN
use in foreign countries, which, when ali
other precautions fail. will at east not in.
cinera+e their unfortunate irmates-are 5E
more Importance than the reduction in
revenue which is contemplated.
