light, the cities are few and far be-
tween, and government aid was abso-
lutely necessary. II is said that the
Mexican government has spent over
$3.50 100000 In aiding In the construc-
tion of railroads and port works.
II Is probable, since the construction
OF the Pacific outlet at ManzanIllo
and the Tehuantepec habors, that this
estimate IL far too low.
What the ultimate outcome OF tho
revolution is going to be no one Gun
forecast, and until that is decided no
one can safely predict what the rail-
road situation OF the future Is go-
Ing to be. Certain 1t is that the Ma
tlonal lines have been heavily hit, and
that their day OF suffering does not
seem 10 be past.
The naturalization of the railways
of Mexico probably has been one of
the things responsible for the success
of the Madero revolution and for tho
prosperity of the Orozco counter rev.
olution. II was early decided that
wherever q. Mexican could be used to
as good advantage Ms an American
the Americans job should be given to
him. Gradually the Mexicans learned
the mysteries of railroad operation and
thousands of them became railroad
men. They were rather more wide-
awake then the average Mexican la
boring c'ass. and soon began to think
for themselves and to pass their
thoughts to their Indifferent brethren.
The. awakening made the masses
ready for anything that promised re-
lief to them and consequently ready
for revolution.
Until peace is again established and
on a firm footing. there Will be little
more railroad building done In Mex
leo. While some mileage has been
built since the revolution began, and
a little is now under construction, 1t
Is simply the completion of projects
undertaken before. As 1t Is Mexico.
next to the United States, has more
railroad mileage than any other prin-
cipal country In the new world In pro-
portion to area. and prior to the Ma
derio revolution they were all prosper
Gus.
The railroads Of Mexico not only
nave suffered from tho direct effects
OF the revolution. but from the indi-
Gect effects as we'll There has been
vast falling off In the buying
power of the people. and conse-
ducnt reduction In the volume of traf-
fic, The slowing up OF the mining
operations of the country has reduced
the amount of business, while the
crop shortages have written their
story upon the bill of lading records
of the Mexican railroads. There are
some who are hoping that the revolu
tion VIII soon be a thing OF the past,
and who believe that its end will be
the signal for the beginning of an era
Of unprecedented prosperity. There
are others who feel that 1t will take
Mexico many year to rally from
the evil effects of tho warfare that
mas been carried on for two years al
ready. and for which they see no early
end. However that may be 1t stu re-
mains that the government has sur-
fered very heavily through its stock
ownership of the principal railways OF
the country and Orozco has not vet
finished his task.
