For Good of
 the Community
JULIUS KRUTTSCHNITT, chairman

JULIUS KRUTTSCHNITT, chairman J of the Southern Pacific board, has velopment of waterways before the na- tion in their connection with the railroads in a manner that enforces attention
 Tn his testimony before the Cummins committee on the railroad crisis he dwelt at length on the effect on the railroads of interstate traffic through the Panama canal, saying: .sl.ss
 The total January and February tonnage east and westbound through the canal in 1920 was 189, 900 tons; Sz for 1921 it was. 325,000, an increase
 of72per cent
 Alluding to the divession of transcon- tinental business from the railroads to steamships operating through the canal, he said:
 Southern Pacific handled 100,- M 900 tons of this traffic in January .s and February, 1920, and 25,OOO
 tons in January and February, 1921.
 Hetouched on the large amounts of money being. spent by the government in improving and developing inland water ways, saying, with special reference to the Warrior river:
 Instance in point is the construc- tion of dams and locks on the War rior river, Alabama, for the purpose
 of carrying coal from Alabama coal fields to seaports on the Mexican
 gulf-tonnage which has been here tofore exclusively carried by the rail
 lines.
 Then Mir. Kruttschnitt took up the mat ter of paved highways, saying:
 The conditions under which the high ways are constructed and operated are grossly discriminative against the rail- roads. and in favor of their competitors Taxes paid by all the people and to a large extent by therailroads are used for 7 the purpose of providing free highways for vehicles, which are subjected to no regulation for the protection of life and property and whose heavy wheel loads rapidly destroy the roads,
 The remedy he suggests for this alleged discrimination is thus presented:
 In common justice these public
 carriers should be required to pay a
 tax on freight and passengers car ried commensurate with the use of
 and injury to the roads they pass
 over.
 Summary of Mr. Kruttschnitts' posi- ton both with reference to highway and waterway competition is expressed in these sentences from his testimony:
 What complain about is that the Panama canal, in connection with ships turned over to agents to oper- ate, substantially at no cost to them selves, is robbing the transcontinen- tai lines of freight which they were X enjoying and really putting the
 United States government in compe- tition with its citizens for the car riage of freight.
 say the same thing as to high ways. We could compete with the highways if those using them for their own purposes had to pay some thing in the way of interest on the cost of the highways and the cost of maintenance thereof. And so it is with the inland waterways.
 These extracts from MT Kruttschnitt's testimony before the Cummns committee constitute the frank est avoMaI extant of the nroads that have been made J~4r SIx~@ J4-G
