When completed the dual system will
embrace $40 miles of single track rail-
road. including 296 miles already built
in the existing subway and elevated
lines. In other words, the new con-
struction will cover 324 miles of single

the work on company lines, has
been estimated at $3.50, 100000.

A DESTRUCTIVE ACT

II was supposed that the European
war Afforded the long-sought-for CD
portunity TO restore the American
merchant marine. or. at least. make
a good start. The opportunity was
there, all right. but II has been de-
stroyed by the La Toilette seaman s
bill. which is absolutely driving ships
away from American registry. instead
OF attracting them. Several steam.
ship lines have already closed out,
and others are seeking foreign regis
try. The measure is about the most
calamitous thing the very calamitous
Sixty-third Congress perpetrated.
The plain truth seems to be that in
the passage OF this act the wool was
pulled over the eyes Of the President
and the country alike. The opposition
Of the shipping interests was OK
planned as natural and not deserving
OF serious examination. Il transpircs
now that the act as passed works an
obvious and damaging injustice on
American shipping This IL what
should have been seen at the outset
The act belongs TO that character Of
legislation so ardently and skiIIfuny
engineered by one class az to blind
the lawmakers and the country to the
sound arguments Of the opposition.
The situation has become 80 critical

through cooperation they may be
able to free the continent from pre-
ventable disease. As illustrating the
possibilities OF his plan. DR.. Reed re-
calls the wonders worked in Cuba
and In the canal zone by the applica-
ton OF sanitary measures. lie urges
the necessity for constant exchange
OF ideas. and incidentally calls atten-
ton TO the great aid which the news

bers OF the profession in teaching the
people some OF the fundamental prin-
ciples OF hygiene.
Commercial and political reasons
have hitherto been put forward as
the principal incentive for more inti-
mate relationships between the Latin
republics and the United states. Il IL
significant that DIR. Reed believes vir-
tually the same methods must be
used TO gain progress In that side Of
the case with which he has more to

NOTHING TO CROW OVER

u II hard 20 understand why the
Secretary OF Commerce il haunting
that thousand million dollar trade
balance on every occasion and rojole-
Ing over Il as an accomplishment
made possible under Democratic iuIe.
II H. no matter 20 brag about. because
we didn't do n ourselves. and certain.
~ nothing the Democratic party has
ever done contributed 20 II Indirectly
or remotely. II was simply forced on
the country through the disrressfui
conditions prevailing in Europe.
The conflict in Europe has operated
TO increase our trade balance IN two
ways. II has increased the demand
for some OF our products. foodstufis
In particular. and has prevented the
ssle To Va of much that We usually Juy
abroad. That IL to say. the war has
compelled us to buy less and enabled
US 10 sell more. and the difference be.
tween what we buy and what we sell
Is the balance OF trade. The larger
part OF the big balance has. in fact.
been caused by our inability to buy.
II there had been no restriction upon
our purchases of goods abroad and
their delivery here there would have
been no extraordinary balance OF
trade. II 1t had been possible for
foreign manufacturers to have con
tinued TO food our markets with their
products. as they were doing in May
end June Of last year. we could have
put our trade balance In our eye. Il
Is quite clear that whatever advant-
ege the country has gained has been
through the decrease in importations
sud the increased demand for food
stuffs. The war has answered the
purpose OF a protective tariff in re-
dueing our imports. Il has TO an ex-
tent made imperative the harmful
qualities OF the Underwood tarin. We
