This by the K. & M. furnishing mo.

indicate a lack Of motive power on
the part OF tht terminal railroads.
This lack in this instance reduced

ments. fail to prove or justify the pos
ition the Gazette occupies in its edi-
torials.
The writer's conclusion from OBJ.
seryation is that, a great many OF
the railroads today lack motive power
and equipment to handle the business
under the abnormal conditions; fur.
ther observation shows that the rail.
roads as a whole have failed to CO.
operate with each other and this con.
clusion is based upon twenty years
OF experience and association with
railroads and railroad people as an
engineer and shipper, or represen.
tative Of shippers interest.
We must all admit that in the past
many railroads in a measure have
sinned against the public and by rea.
son of that SHINING have brought up.
on themselves public indignation and
lot Of adverse advertising that
aroused prejudice in the public minds,
Therefore adverse legislation has
been spread upon the statute books
OF not only the Federal Government
but of the states and this has in a
measure crippled the roads by i'm.
pairing the value of their securities
and thus hampered the business of
the country. On the other hand the
railroads up until recently have
stood out and fought each other as
well as other classes OF transporta-
ton. This has been a mistake be.
cause the railroads, the rivers. the
ocean and the public highways all
have their place In our business sys.

past four years as Road Engineer for
the State Of West Virginia, the
writer has come in contact with all of
the large railroads traversing the
State in his files are found letters
from very prominent railroad man
which states that railroads should not
In any way aid highway development.
The writer has since learned that
this same man stated, that he now
saw the transportation problem in
different light and that there was
place for the highway and it should
be developed. A place for the raill ,,d
and 1t should be developed and pro.
tected and likewise a place for river
transportation and the rivers should
be developed "A brief period Of four
years has brought this change in the
