Will DOUBLFTRACK
HARTMAN LINES

In an intervieww with the Salt Lake
Herald Republican, Wednesday, Judge
Lovett, head of the Hartman system
OF railroads, had the following to say
IN relation to double tracking:
The double-tracking of the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific from
Omaha to San Francisco and the Ore
gon Short Line from Granger to Port
land, will be carried out as originally
announced several weeks ago, if we
can get the money. / believe we can
and ] know it is the earnest intention
of the interests / represent to com
plete the improvements in aobut five
years, perhaps less time than that.
There may be occasions when money
for the work will be little slow com
ing, but there is little danger of the
plan being abandoned before its con-
summation.
Upward Trend.
"The country tributary to the
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific
lines is on the upward trend in all
lines of industrial activity. Popula-
tion is increasing by leaps and bounds,
agriculture and horticulture develop
ment is progressing as never before
and varied manufacturing establish
ments are springing up. All this ex-
pansion means heavily increased traf-
fic. which means more tracks and more
facilities for handling them. This is
the chief reason for the contemplated
double tracking. The policy of the
Hartman system has been and always
will be to keep abreast of the country
it's lines traverse. ~
An important part of the work to
be done will be the duplication of the
Lucin cutoff across Graf Salt Lake,
according to President Lovett The
entire forty miles is to be double
tracked, which practically means a re-
construction of the great bridge. This
alone will mean the expenditure of at
least $1,000,000, he says.
''Outside of idaho, with her vast ex-
panse across which the Oregon Short
Line is to be double-tracked, Utah will
get more of the $4,000, 900 than any
other western state" Judge Lovett
said
Speaking of the recent interstate
commerce ruling prohibiting the rail
roads from increasing their freight
rates for greater revenue, Judge Low
81 am not opposed to regulation of
the railroads provided a proper under
standing of conditions can be brought
about One or two unfavorable de-
cisions can have but little effect on
the railroads, but should there develop
hostile tendency which would mani
fest itself in such decisions, serious
injury to the railroads would result.
Business Factor.
"'The railroads form one of the
greatest business factors of the coun
try Their interests and the interests
of the people at large, in the last an
alysis are identical. The railroads
cannot prosper unless the community
is prosperous and both should work to
attain the maximum of good results
for both. There must be proper
recognition of the rights of both.
''Of course one hostile decision such
as that just made by the commerce
commission, may have slightly de
pressing effect monetarily, and may
make il difficult to get loans. But the
money will be gotten / am hard
man to discourage. | have plenty of
faith in the common sense of the
American people.'
