The champion. judging from his

Railways or the united St0res
RAILWAY TRAFFIC, Freight traffic throughout the United States
has been the greatest ever known for the first half of the calendar year.
The railroads prove their efficiency by handling it promptly eve
though the freight rates ae not such as to yield a fair interest rate upon
the investment in railroad property, and this is particularly true of the
roads in the northwestern region.
RAILWAYS-TIIE BASIS OF COMMERCE.: Transportation Is a fac
tor in all commerce, a primary necessity for the exchange of products.
Adequate transportation in the United States has played a large part
in making possible the accumulation of more wealth in the United
States during the last twenty years than the British Empire has accu-
"""'' """ eA"' "'"'' -
REST CURE FOR THE RAILROADS. The railroads have helped to
make the United States great. They should receive fair treatment at
the hands of the Government and its various commissions which con-
troll their activities. A "rairaod legislative holiday" should be pro-
claimed throughout the United States. The fact that for many years
the railroads have received a net income. less than Is now recognized
of regulation. Notwithstanding increases in rates since 1917, the rail-
roads are now and have been for some time, handling freight at the
lowest rates in the world. H.
RAILOAD SERVICE: Railway service in the United States has
reached a state of efficiency not equaled anywhere else in the world.
We have become SO accustomed to this that we are forgetful of the
effort required to maintain and operate this service and the real unity
of the transportation system which enables n to ship goods over
any and all lines at will; opens a worldwide market to the producer.
and permits travel to any accessible station. The comfort and luxury
of our passenger service would have been inconceivable fifty years ago.
FAIR TREATMENT TO RAILROADS, The railroads Of the United
States, while contributing freely to the prosperity of the Nation, have
not been allowed al equitable share in that prosperity. They have been
slandered by sefseeking and INSCRIPTIONS politicians. They have also
been subjected to a form of restrictive regulation which has not been
applied to business generally. Notwithstanding all the adverse condi-
tons under which the railroads arr placed, the Chicago and North
Western Railway System continues to maintain a service, both passen-
ger and freight, of the highest standard. ~
