May Link Means
of Transportation
for Better Service

New York, May blinking to-
gether of the nations rail. wa.er and
motor transit facilities, to form a
network over which the rapidly
mounting tonnage of agricultural
and industrial products might be
hauled to market, was urged before
the convention of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States to-
day by three champions Of trans
portation.
Charles II. Markham, president of
the Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany. advocated the development of
motor truck and inland water
routes wherever it could be done
economically and without tax bur-
den upon the public which would
amount to a subsidization. He
pleaded. however. that carriers over
such routes be made to pay their
share of the investment. as the rail-
roads paid for their roadbeds, and
that fairness demanded public regu-
lation of water and motor transport.
Another aspect of this question
was presented by Roy ID. Chaplin.
chairman of the Hudson Motor Car
Company. who asserted that the
public was not paying its share OF
the construction and upkeep of
highways used in the transportation
ready paid too large a percentage OF
the cost in special taxes. In 1922,
he said, motor car users paid $40.
100000 in special taxes. or nearly
half of the total highwal construc-
ton and maintenance bill of the ma
ton.
Representative Cleveland A. New
ton of Missouri. reputed leader OF
the waterway bloc" in congress and
sponsor for the recent increase of
rivers and harbors appropriation
from $27,OOO.OOO to SOC. 100000. pro-
posed that the country develop in
land lake and river lines to ease the
railroads Of the burden of low rate
paying bulk freight for which
speedy. transportation is not a nee
cessity.
