AUTOS HELP RAILWAYS
U. P. Official Says They Indi-
rectly Cause Traffic Increase.

J. A. Monroe. general freight agent of
tho Union Pacific Railroad Company, who
is in New York, is not among the railway
officials who believe that the business of
their roads is being injured by the auto
mobile. He said yesterday:
Everything that makes for convenience
of the people is for the general good, in
which the railroads must inevitably share.
1t seems to me there are four factors in
our modern life contributing to the gen.
eral- convenience more than any other.
These are the automobile, the electric
light, the telephone and the bathtub.
These factors mean that the advantages
of the city have been transferred to the
country. That means the development Of
the country to a degree heretofore I'M
imagined.
Automobiles mean good roads Good
roads mean that the farmer can get his
produce To market from sections hereto
fore unavailable. The telephone means
that in Nebraska and Kansas the farmer
is no longer dependent upon Liverpool
prices for wheat. The more such factors
we have for the development of our
country, the better off the railroads are,
despite any trifing loss we may suffer in
local passenger traffic on Saturdays and
Sundays because people use their own cars
for short excursions
