"Ope of the great reasons for the

been the competition OF railways

these. traffic managers OF railways
have lowered their own traffic rates

I'll the river business has been entire

rates when tho river business has

Provision has been made in the
railway act passed al the last session

ways from adopting this device OF dc

Is, that with the new development of
river business. II will be possible to
give power 10 our interstate com

tions for the joint traffic between con-
tinuous growth of the river business.
for If We would use our waterways
in the most economical manner there
must be friendly cooperation, as
the waterways commission points out
between those engaged In transporta-
tlon on the water and those by rail.
The concurrent and Joint operation OF
railways and wafer carriage is much
better regulated abroad than II Is
here and we have great deal to
learn In this regard, which, when
studied out, can be embodied in posi-
