MIR. FIGURES

"
The space given in the columns of yes
terday's Herald to Il report OF my address
in Federal hall upon Our National wat
crways." said Captain Wilson /. Daven
ny. field secretary of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress at the Miller no
tel this morning, suggested the Interest
of both the paper and the citizens OF
Brownsville on that important subject.
wish, however. in the interest OF exact
and reliable statement of facts, to cor
rect some inaccuracief that appeared
III the published report of the address.
First: The comparison Of per capita
of revenue collected by the National gov
as duties on imports tS3.Sll
and The total revenues of the government
from all sources (S9.S4) with the per
capita Of transportation cost ($3n.S6)
was for the year 1907, not 1912. and the
excess Of railway income oi$l3O sos 301,
over the revenues of the national govern
mcnt from all sources plus the income OF
al the states, territories, counties, cities
and minor civil divisions. as quoted, also
was for the year 1862: not for 1912.
Il am made to say that a dollar at ay-
crage rates would carry a ton ten miles
On a railroad and on Lake Superior
three thousand miles, the fact, and what
[ did say in the comparison is that 81
will carry a ton four miles Oh an unim
proved highway; ten miles on an i'm
proved highway; 127 l. miles on a rail
way: | 80 miles on such a channel as
hat of Lake Superior, and on the Great
Lakes 3333 miles. These figures. | made
it clear, are based upon estimates of eX
perts of the agricultural department and
the rail and waterway statistics for the
wear 1907.
"Tic channel of the river Main, upon
which the City Of Frankfort, Germany.
is situated, was canalizcd down to the
Rhine and opened to traffic, Il distance
Of twenty miles. not i'll the 70s. but in
1886.
The commercial supremacy of New
York, was not attributed merely to the
Improvement Of the harbor. but rather
in the beginning to the building and
oneGing TO the traffic Of the Erie canal.
! also stated that the saving of 1860 000.
eco, as between water and rail rates
was made on the 10000 000 tons of freight
that passed through the 500" canal. in
he year 1912. and suggested that the
saving was almost three times the gov
eminent OUTLAY since 1865 (thr year the
first lock was put in commissici ! instead
of 1888.
THE types made the reporter say that
II was necessary to recognize" the Ma.
tional Rivers and HarborS Congress in
1895. He obviously made his copy to
set forth the fact that in the interest of
\ sustained and countrywide campaign
IN favor Of d comprehensive development
of our waterways it became necessary to
rcorganiZc, the congress for continuous
ard unremitting service. as was done in
1906. Appropriations have been annu-
ally secured for the past four years"
