SMITH FILES RE-
PORT ON SUBJECT WITH PRES
IDENT TAFT-TOO MUCH DE.
STRUCTIVE COMPETITION.

Washington. July 19.-Coopera-
ton between railways and waterways
seems absolutely necessary to insure
a reasonable and efficient use of the
inland water courses of this country.
This conclusion is reached in the
report of Herbert Knox Smith, COM
missioner of corporations. in Part II
of his discussion of the subject Of
Transportation by Water which
his bureau has been investigating
for many months. The second part
of the report was transmitted to
President Taft today. 1t deals with
traffic By water, and portions of it
are particularly suggestive and sig
nificant
1t is pointed out by Commissioner
Smith that sit Is a public evil that
the entire transportation system of
the United States should be, as now,
at odds with itself through destruc-
tive competition, while the transport
tation needs of the public suffer.
Traffic in ITSELF the report con-
tinues, sis necessity for the proper
development of waterway. State
and federal work must be supple
mented by private initiative, espec-
tally in terminals and equipment, and
private initiative will come in only
when there is reasonable chance of
enough traffic to make it profitable.
One of the great questions. therefore,
is the question OF how to secure for
the inland rivers and canals a reason
able share of the country's traffic"
In the body Of the report Commit
sioner Smith points out the predom-
nance of bulk traffic by water, and
the reasons therefor. Then he out
lines the practical results to be OBJ
tanned from thorough system of
waterways. The entire transportation
system of the country is divided into
three great classes:
ID. Rail.
CD. Deep water, that is. coast
wise and great lakes.
go. Rivers and canals.
An enormous increase has been
shown in the rail traffic. There also
has been an increase III the coastwise
traffic On the other hand, the river
and canal traffic shows a marked de-
crease. Discussing this situation,
Commissioner Smith, in his report,
says:
1.-THE great mass of the coast and
Great Lakes traffic is bulk. The
enormous development of the Great
Lakes business is largely due to the
vast ore and grain trade moving east
ward and the coal trade moving west
ward. About 100000 tons of ore
were transported in 1907 eastward,
and about 100000 tons of coal
weer moved westward in 1906. These
great freights, being all bulk and Of

uniform character, received and de.
livered at a few central ports. have
produced there very highly organ
lied system of transportation and
terminals, and consequently low
transportation cost.
"The river and canal system. on
the other hand. has been losing
steadily. The New York canals and
the Mississippi river system illustrate
this. Up to 1855 the traffic on the
New York canal was more than
twice that of the railroads crossing
New York state. 1t IL now less than
3 per cent of that total. The situa-
ton on the Mississippi is illustrated
in the traffic history Of st. Louis.
River shipments there in 1890 were
over 100000 tons; in 1906, $4,000.
Rail shipments. on the other hand,
increased from 100000 tons in
1890 to 100000 tons in 1906.
THE coal traffic down stream from
the vicinity of Pittsburg, over Sc per
cent of the entire vessel traffic on the
Mississippi system. is the one strik-
ing exception to the general decline
on that system. Its success is due
to the great deposits of coal practic-
ally on the banks, and a correspond
ing demand for 1t along the river.
But even this traffic is practically
confined to the banks of the rivers,
and goes neither inland nor along the
gulf coast for any considerable dis
lance.
The situation of water transporta-
ton in the Mississippi valley Is sig
nificant and serious. 1t shows best
both the limitations and the posi-
bilities involved in the present water
way problem. There is no lack of
freight in that valley. and there has
been at times extreme traffic conges-
ton there, and yet the river is get
ting only an insignificant and de-
creasing share of that traffic. 1t is
true that physical conditions, such as
extreme changes in water level and
enormous deposits of sediment, af-
feet transportation seriously. But
probably more serious is the COM
The situation there justifies the gen
eral conclusion of the report that
rail competition is one of the most
important factors in water traffic

Less than 221a per cent Of all the 455,-

youth OF the United States during the
year 190I-oS were men, according TO the
report OF Elmer r. Brown, Commits
sioner of Education. made public today.
Not only IS this great discrepancy a
matter Of record. but the actual per
Centage or men teachers has been de
cliniEg steadily for the last ten years
or more, the report states.
Average monthly salaries of both men
and women, Mr.. Brown states, have in
creased but slowly, not at all as the
expenditures for buildings. books, and
other school necessities have grown.
About 20 per cent of the total p3pu-
latiOn, the report says, attended the
common schools foe a longer or shorter
period. About 1900, 600 pupils were en-
relied In all the educational institutions
OF the country during the year 19O7-08
