INDIANAPOLIS, May 26.-Mectric
railways. which form a network
throughout Indiana, are feeling auto
mobile competition in both freight and
passenger service, resulting in their
complaint to the state tax board that
their money paid out in taxes goes
for the building of roads that encour-
ages this competition.
Apparently, the railways have made
case before the state tax board,
which now is holding hearings pre-
paratory to the making of the tax ap-
praisements on various corporations
assessed by it. Indications favor a
reduction of the appraisements, which
amounted to $64.S25,00 last year for
the So companies operating in the
state The companies have 2,275 miles
of track.
The appraisements that will be made
by the board are yet matter of con-
! lecture, but in explaining the revenues
of the electric railways, the board has
been told that the interurban lines
generally have been chit hard" by
automobile competition. Throughout
the state, the board has been informed

that hard surface roads have been
built by public funds raised from tax
alton, and that these generally paral-
lei the electric railways.
With the road improvements, ac-
cording to the railroad men, comes
the automobile, usually the truck
first, seeking the freight business and
then the auto-bus, seeking the passen-
ger service. The hard-surface road,
from the viewpoint of the railroad
men, makes competition easy for the
automobile and the complaint to the
tax board by the railway men is that
they pay more in taxes for building
the roads than do their competitors.

The South spent on public
schools IN 1920 over $2O4,22o,-
OOO. which Is within ) per cent OF
what the whole country spent IN
1900, and $24,OOO,O00 more than
the rest of the country outside "t
the South spent at that time.
Tie estimated true wealth of
the United States in 1880 was
about S43,642.000.00U, while the
estimated true wealth OF the South
is now approximately $1OOoc,-
100000, or probably double the
wealth of the whole country to'v
years ago.
This array OF facts on The
South's economic development
outlines the possibilities OF tins re-
gion OF marvellous resources and
achievements as field worthy OF
cultivation by the business men OF
the nation. Viewed in the light OF
the TACT that the South is the first
section of our country to show a
marked revival OF activity. and OF
the magnitude Of development I'M
possible to hold back now that
business in this section is moving
ahead on a solid foundation, 1t IS
a trade field that no business con-
