Railroad mileage Is the yard stick OF
progress. We have In Texas $4,000
miles OF railroad and rank first OF all
states In the Union IN mileage. IN
miles per area, we rank fortieth. having
SIS miles OF railroad per 100 square
miles OF territory. In mileage per popu-
lat!on. we rank nineteenth. having 3s.N
miles Of railroad per 10000 people.
The comparative test of railroad IA
cilities is in miles per area. II We
had the mileage per area that the state
OF Illinois has We would have $500
miles; that Indiana has 5000 miles
and that Iowa has $4,000 miles. We
have only $4,000 mileA
According TO the last interstate COM
merce commission report. compiled
June 80. 1909. we constructed 273 miles
during the previous year and ranked
fourth in the list Of states In the Union
in construction during the year. We
are more In need Of railroad construc-
ton than any other state In the Union.
The railroad development OF Texas
