III---Telegrdph and Telephone

Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product OF this great com
mercial age and the telegraph and tel
ephone systems of this nation crown
the Industrial achievements of the
whole world. These twin messengers
of modern civilization, born in the
skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever
toiled for the human race.
They are of American nativity and
while warm from the mind of the in
ventive genius have, under American
supervision, spun a network of wires
across the earth and under the seas.
Telegraphy, in its early youth, mas
tered the known world and the tele-
phone has already conquered the
earth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the
ocean.
No industry in the history of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
in development and usefulness, and
none has ever exerted more powerful
influence upon the civilization of its
day than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy of two distinct types of
American genius-invention and organ |
ization.
The industry was peculiarly FORUM
ate in having powerful inventive intel
lect at its source and tremendous
minds to direct its organization and
growth. 1t is the most perfect fruit
of the tree of American industry and
when compared with its European con-
temporaries, it thrills every patriotic
American with pride.

last year in which figures for all
countries are available, on the
earth's surface, '6399S1 miles of rail-
way divided as follows: United States
241 ,199, Europe 2O7,432 and other
countries 1880 The United States
has SO per cent of the worlds mileage,
seven per cent of the estimated pop
ulation and about five per cent of the
area. The total capital invested in the
railways of the world is $4,000 000,-
900, divided as follows: United States
13,000,000,000 Europe $25,65O,00 900
and other countries 100000.
Reduced to mileage basis the cap
italization is as follows: The world
$4,000, United States $4,000, Europe
$124,000, and other countries $59, 900.
A comparison of rates is equally as
interesting and the United States
takes the lead in economy and serv-
ice. The average rate per ton per
hundred mile haul is as follows:
United States 76c, Great Britain 1888,
france $l.44, Germany SL44, Russia
92c, Austria-Hungary $1.3O, Italy $3.50
and Switzerland $3.50.
The average yearly pay of all rail-
road employees in the principal coun-
tries is as follows: United States
1857, Germany 1892, Italy $345, Aus
tria 1922, Great Britain 1919, France
$3.50 and Russia 1904.
About 80 per cent, or $4,000 miles,
of the railways of the world are
government owned. About half the
railway mileage of Europe is govern
ment owned.

time and money and the convenience
in travel, will be made in a later

.WATERED SECURITIES
BY Peter Radford.


Much has been said and more writ
ten about the evils of watered stock in
big business concerns and the farm
ers of this nation believe that every
dollar written into the life of any
business organization, should be able
to say Il know that my Redeemer
liveth," but farming is the biggest
business on earth, and there is more
water in it's financial transaction than
that of any other industry. There is

annum, as there is in business pay.

the face value of securities repre-
senting an investment of only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only diff
ference is, the water is in the interest
rate in one instance and in the secur-
tiles in the other.
The promoter ofttimes takes chances
and his success is contingent upon
the development of the property in
'volved but the usurer, as a rule, takes
no chances and his success cripples
the property involved. There may be
industries that cry louder but none
that suffer more severely from finan.
cial immortality in both law and Gus
tom than that of agriculture.
The farmers of America today are
paying s200,OO0,O0O per annum in
usury on real estate and chattel
loans, and this interest capitalized
at five per cent, represents $4,000, 000,-
900 of fictitious values which the farm
er is paying interest on. This sum of
money is almost equal to the annual
value of crops produced in the United
States.
The earning power of the farmers
note based upon his interest rate very
nearly divides likes the earth's sur
face-three-fourths water and one.
fourth land. The largest body of wa
ter that floats upon the financial hem
isphere now rests upon the farms
and its waves are dashing and its
pillows are rolling against seven mil
lion homes threatening ruin and dis
aster to the prosperity of the nation.
Will our public servants who under
stand how to drain the liquid of in
Idustrial properties turn the faucet and
let the water of the farms?

TIL: BATTLE: Of
TIL: TIRES

agricultural and Commercial Press Service1
1t is interesting 10 watch the forces
of civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest of the Twen-
tieth Century.
The struggle is a silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con-
fiict but the results are more far
reaching to present and future gen
erations than the war of Europe.
The rubber tire has been maneuver-
ing for point of attack for several
years and has captured few unim-
portant positions in traffic, but it has
now pitched a decisive battle with
it's iron competitor by hurting a mill
lion "jitneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean, Upon the result of the
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. If it is compelled to re-
treat, it's doom is sealed, but if it wins
the battle it will revolutionize the
transportation methods of this nation.
If the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic its next struggle is with
the railroads of the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
Of this earth is on, for iron is the I'M
disputed master in transportation, and
is fortified behind billions of dollars,
and millions of men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1914 but it was 1869
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands of
steel. 1t took the iron tire fifty-fve
years to creep from ocean to ocean
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys-
ses. The roadbed was already pre-
pared and therein lies the power of
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron is a stubborn metal and
1t has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the NORWOOD
OF defeat, and when rubber hurls it's
full force against this monarch of
the Mineral Kingdom, it may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov.

The rubber tire hrst made its ap.
pearance on the bicycle, but it proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. 1t has always been
