capture or ruin of the seacoast cities
would affect the entire Nation.
The same principle holds in the con
struction of national system of good
roads. The whole Nation will benefit
vastly from good roads-in increased
prosperity, better education, and de-
velopment of natural resources.
The money spent on rivers is all
paid by the Federal Government from
general taxation, yet this traffic is
only small fraction of the traffic
along our improved highways, and
its benefits are proportionately small
To the farmer, a hard road means
more than any other Federal activity

but a good road makes it possible for
him to run his farm or dairy at a
much higher rate of production and
greater profit, gives him and his fam
lily more of the comforts and luxuries

better education, and raises his en-

WATERFOWL, he said, among other things,
as follows
Under the operation of that law (Esch-Cum-
mins) we have seen great recovery and inn
provement in railroad transportation. In the mat
ter of service the railroads are rendering per-
Torrance heretofore unequaled, although the only
fair test of this law has been during the year 1928
During the past year the railroads have hand
led the greatest volume of tonnage in their his
tory and that in an expeditions and satisfactory
manner.
There was practically no shortage of cars or
equipment evident during the past heavy ship
ping season. a condition which has not existed
since the war; there general embargoes
at terminals due to congestion and inability to
move freight; and there were no serious delays
to shipments due to lack of proper functioning
of the transportation machine all of which means
dollars in the pockets of shippers
For these reasons place adequate transporta-
4 ton ahead of cost of transportation.
ITO have our freight rates and passenger fares
cut III half would help little if the service were
to be likewise curtailed and made uncertain and
unreliable. Ideal transportation is adequate trans
portation at the lowest possible cost.

AS VIEWED BY OUR PATRONS

Everybody is more or less familiar with the
condition of he railroads when turned back to
their owners after Federal Control. They were
depleted in finances, undermined morally and
their operating equipment reduced to point OF
famine.
Tonnage Offered the railroads for transpor
tation has increased SO rapidly. that constant adj
ditions to equipment are necessary to meet the
growing demand.
VERY little equipment was added during the 26
months of Federal Control and the existing
equipment was permitted to deteriorate.
Drastic action necessary to recover from
this condition and such action was accomplished
by purchasing and Putting into service over 1920
locomotives and over 100000 new freight cars
during the year 1928.
"That is the principal reason why we did not
suffer from car shortage during the past year."
This statement by Mr. Wigton pertain
ing to the Transportation Act Commonly
known as the Esch-Cummins Law is SO
interesting that we are giving our patrons
an opportunity to read it.

The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Company was chartered by special act OF
the Wisconsin legislature It began business
In 1858 with 90 policyholders and 100000
of insurance in force. On the first day of
January 1924, it had 1854 policies out
standing involving insurance of about two
billion seven hundred million dollars!
Since its organization the company has paid
60 policyho1ders nine hundred and twenty
three million dollars and it still holds, under
the requirements of Wisconsin law, more than
five hundred million dollars for them.
The Northwestern confines its operations
exclusively to the healthful portions of the
Union and It does no foreign business.
1t has more than A8, 500 citizens of the
State of Wisconsin on its list of policy
holders and being a mutual company,
these po1icyho1ders are intimately and
directly affected by anything which
affects the interests of the company.
The Northwestern gives employment to about
1000 Wisconsin citizens in this state and
it annually expends hundreds of thousands
of dollars In Wisconsin for salaries and
supplies 1t has just paid the state 1851, 900
in taxes for the privilege of doing business
in Wisconsin for one year sum which is
nearly one-third the total taxes paid bv the
company in all the other states and the
national government, combined.
The bylaws of the company provide for the
annual appointment of committee of its
policyhoIders who shall not be trustees,
officers, junior officers, agents or employees,
to examine into its affairs transactions,
records, books, assets and securities. The
committee last appointed, and which reported
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1924-04-03

on January %, 1924, consisted Of four
policyholders, two of whom were citizens Of
Wisconsin, Thomas Fl. Gill, of Milwaukee,
and Senator Max w. Heck, of Racine the
latter being nominated by the Hon. w.
Stanley Smith, Insurance Commissioner of
Wisconsin. Senator Heck acted as Secretary
of the Committee
It's conclusions were as follows:
stOur examination convinces us that the
management is entirely efficient and
fully abreast of the most advanced of its
competitors; that, consequently, the
various policy forms are liberal and equit-
able, the rates reasonable, the treatment
of all po1icyho1ders uniform, purchases
and security of investments safeguarded,
all assets conserved, death claims prompt
1y paid, litigation negligible, pensions
cor1rnendable and all branches of the
business most economically conducted.
The volume and quality of the risks, the
surplus earnings and savings are growing
hea1thful1y, and we believe the great
object of the corporation as guardian
and conservator for public benefit is
fully realized"
The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Company was organized to SERVE to
serve men who appreciate the necessity OF
protecting themselves, their families and
their estates. It issues modern life insurance
policies to meet all the requirements of
protection at the lowest possible net cost.
It has general agencies in Milwaukee, Racine,
Madison. Hudson and Oshkosh, and
agencies IN every other locality of the state,
where free, frank and full information will
be given cheerfully to those who want to
know about its policy contracts. Write or
