The railways are a national asset, providing a year-round public service that •can be given by no other trans- portation agency. Millions of dollars of public and private funds have been. invested in their construction and equipment. They furnish employment to tens of thousands of citizens. Passenger and freight trains oper- ate on private rights of way acquired and equipped at enormous cosi. Funds for this purpose were in the main provided by stockholders and other private individuals. Buses and trucks that operate in competition with the freight and pas - tenger services of the railway com- panies have; the advantage of high- ways consitructed at public expense for the use of which they pay only a nominal fee. Buses and trucks operate only in the choicest districts, where revenues are plentiful and expenses are small. Railways must take the lean with the fat, must provide a service in sparsely settled as well as thickly populated districts. The difference between the obliga- tions of the railways and the privi- leges of the bus lines constitutes grossly unfair competition. Competi- tion is usually beneificial but not if one of the competitors is subsidized at public expense. If the bus lines cannot operate in fair competition the railways are in a pcsition to look after all the trans- portation needs of the country. But if the unfair competition of the bus lines puts the .railways out of business the result would be a na- tional calamity. If ; the railways can- not operate profitably they must ei- ther cease operation or be continued in operation with the aid of subsidies ft om the public purse. • For the commerce of the country and for the 'defence of ,the country, the railways are indispensable. If the railways collapsed the whole national structure would collapse, ' Isn't it about time, then, for those in authority to deal with the situa- tion? Isn't it about time to ask the bus lines to pay their own way, to pay a, fair share to the cost of high- SEI 11. , Isard Co.

And isn't it about time, if these companies wish to compete for the business of the railways, that they pay taxes on the same basis as the railways pay? The railways pay their own way, Let the bus compan%esj do likewise, When they do the clanger of a great national asset and a great public ser- vant being crippled or destroyedwill, be greatly lessened.
