Good Roads and Population Increase
BY FRED PATEE.

Two clippings from Motor West
have attracted my attention as being
pithy and TO the point. The onc by
Frederic J.. Haskin calls attention to
the vast extent Of the play grounds OF
tho west as compared with those OF
the cast. The other is a lesson by the
bureau OF public roads Mt Washington
dispenser of the federal aid money. a
million dollars OF which we will have
at the disposal OF the wyUming state
highway department in n few days
from this time.
1t appears hat the state Of Califor-
mia has increased in population dur
ng the past ten years "a per cen But
the increase along the routes OF the
main highways a 60 per II the
state of California will increase 63
per ccnt along the lines OF the main
highways, what will beNthe increase IN
the population along the Yellowstone
highway, IN the next ten years, II we
pave 1t from one end TO the other. We
have moro than so per cent OF the
lentlre state of Wyoming bordering
closely alon the route OF the Yellow
stone highway right nov, and II we
pave it. with such a start as that we
should increase the population along
that splendid highway 200 per cent in
the next ten years.
In California they expect a popula-
lion fer the state within n very few
years OF fifty million people. They
arc building up that point by furnish
ing the roads for easy transportation,
and building factories to give employ
ment to those who need work as well
as climate. In the east are millions Of
people who must find a place for rec
reation and pleasure. We have the
Fairgrounds. we have h most inex-
haustible supply OF magnificent sccii-
cry in America All we need is the
pavement to bring he millions who
come west. to Wyoming.
We must have one great highway,
so good that 1t will get and deserve
Ia national reputation. Make 1t SO good
that every motorist in America will
hear about 1t and talk about 1t. That's

ways under private ownership to earn
an average net return sufficient to en-
able them to improve and expand
their properties SO that they can han
die all the traffic offered to them with
reasonable economy.
Government regulation may decide
that the railways. like other indus
tries, may earn large profits in good
years and small profits or none in bad
years. 1t may decide that in good
a the railways must be content
With smaller profits than those earned
IN other businesses and in bad years
will be allowed to earn larger profits
han are earned in other businesses.
One or the other of these policies II
must adopt. however. IL the railroad
problem is to be solved under private
ou nership.
Upon the net return the railways
are allowed to earn always must de-
pend the amount of new investment
they can make in their properties.
Upon the new investment they can
make must always depend. In turn.
both the economy and adequacy of the
service they can render. They cannot
in the future effect large economies in
operation and reduce rates az in the
past, unless they can make large capt.
tai expenditures Is in the past. They
cannot increase the amount OF serv-
ice rendered by them in the future as
in the past. unless they car mako
large capital expenditures as in the
past.
Facts such as these have been theo-
reiically recognized but actually Jig
nored In all past regulation OF the
railways. They have been regulated
as IL it was to the public interest to
reduce and limit their net returns as
much as the courts would not hold
c-onfiscatory. The facts regarding rail
road development under this policy OF
regulation are indisputable. The de
velopment of the railways has stead.
lily declined. This decline did not be
gin within recent years. 1t began
more than ten years g and has con.
tinued at an ~acceiearting rate ever
since. Continued application of this
theory will forever prevent an ade-
quate revival Of railroad development.
and that would be actually worse
than government ownership itself.

TESTIMONY FOR VALUATION.

The advlSabllity OF American valuation OF imports
occurs to most people when the old practice of under
valuation by connivance of importers and foreign ex-
porters is revealed. What all honest Americans should
desire is to establish the worth of a fcfeis- produced
article on the basis of American costs. Then !, regu-
late the import duty with reference to costs in each
country in question and not give the American the
worst of it because his mode of living is on a higher
scale and his wages higher than the European who
completes with him. Because Europeans and Asiatics
work for small wages and demand less in living con-
ditions is no argument to an American that they should
invade and supply our home markets.
H. L.. Henry of the Geneva Cutlery Company of
New York, a friend and adviser of the late Serene Z.
Payne who wrote the last Republican tariff measure
under which we operated, says of American valuation:
SIT will prevent the wholesale differentiation now ex-
isting by taking away the incentive to undertakes"
Fred E.. Bartlett, vice president of the American
Pin Company of Waterbury, Conn, says: "Under the
present system of valuation our government has been
defrauded of millions of dollars of revenue due to un-
LIBERALIZATION and the impossibility of determining the
market price in any of the scores of foreign countries
whose products are flooding this country"
Mr.. Dietz of the Bridgeport Comm Brass
Company says: "The Importation of foreign made
goods based on foreign valuation is ~benefting a few
while causing tremendous injury to American manu-
facturers and workers. The menace, already of con-
siderable proportions, threatens to engulf numerous
american industries, continuing aggravated industrial
depression, unemployment and consequently unneces-
sary hardships. Furthermore, any situation that per-
nlits American interests to invest in foreign plants
ard import such foreign made products into the United
States to the serious detriment of American manu-
iacturerS anu WorkerS ougnU NOT u De loiefdteu. Otncr
industrial countries have understood and acted-Amer-
lea must wake up" &
Mr.. Dietz, no doubt, had reference to a number OF
instances which have been recently reported, where
certain American interests have already set up, or
plan to set up, factories in Germany, China, India and
elsewhere, for the purpose of %profting by the pittance-
paid labor of those countries in the manufacture and
disposal in the United States of goods competing with
American made products of high-standard wages.
George r. Meyercord, formerly president of the
Illinois Manufacturers Association, and probably one
of the best posted men on tariff questions to be found
in the country, says: From a broad national welfare
standpoint the arguments in favor of American valua-
ton are so logical and fair that the propaganda against
it conducted by large retailing interests appears in
comprehensive, unless the enormous excess profits in

Mr.. Haskin says. speaking Of W sst-
ern forests
"Of the 147 national forests, all ex-
cept 20 are in the west. In the east,
which so much needs camp grounds,
there is left comparatively little forest
lard which could be set aside for the
people. The wesA is h~onsycdnbed

has its forests but they arc limited in

North Carolina. is only 1000 acres.
while the largest. Arkansas forest. Is

arc a number OF national forests OF
1 1000. 900 or moro acres, and one. IN

Tho bureau OF public roads after
investigating the public highways Of
California, sayn:

large portion Of the 6s per cent in
crease in population along the main
highways which California has paved
permanently is due to this improve
'ment- These figures carry a lesson to
every state in the union"
Remember hat most Of the main
highways Of California have not been
in existence for more than five years.
and that none of them were paved in
1915, so the wonderful gains credited
to ten years. have really been made in
very much less time.

Face the Problem Squarely
THE RAILWAY AGE

The Interstate Commerce commits
sion, under provisions of the trans
p~ortation act. must o determine
anew the rate OF net return that the
railways should be allowed to earn.
The provision OF the law directing the
commission to fix rates that would
enable the railways to earn from 5h
to 9 per sent expires on March 1.
Thereafter. the rate of return tho
railways should BIO allowed to earn
must be fixcd by the commission It
self. and in that connection 1t nus
consider the countrY's need for AIDE
quate transportation.
In passing upon this question the
commission will squarely face the
railroad problem as it actually Is. Al
though hat problem is being dis
cussed by many persons and deal,
with by many government bodies. al
most nobody is facing it squnrely and
discussing or dealing with 1t on Its
merits. Continued paltering with II
will cause disaster, not only to the
railways but to every class of bust
ness interests and every class of peo'
Pile in the country.
The railroad problem Win be solved
only when the pablo and h govern
ment decide finally to do n of two
things and then act accordingly. One
solution of It would be the adoption
of government ownership. 1t would
be n bad solution. but it would be a
solution. The only other solution pos
sible is the definite and final adop
ton of a policy of allowing the rail

handling imported merchandise gives the answer. I'M
dervaluation has been a serious problem in the past
and a large corps Of special agents have been employ
ed to check this raid on the treasury which the tax
payers had to make up out Of general taxation and
which also admitted a large amount Of goods to the
United States"
Wilbur F. WakemAn, treasurer of the American
Protective Tariff League. q man whose life has been
devoted to tariff research, says: Foreign valuation
Of imported merchandise places all evidence regard
ing the correctness Of invoice values in the hands Of
aliens and foreigners, whereas American valuation Of
foreign merchandise would make the impor6tions sub
ject to the law. customs and methods Of tbs United
States of America"
That puts the idea in a nutshell and is one Of the
most appealing arguments that can be placed before
the Republican congress.
