been slbnghing cif their wretched
exihtence.
The owner Of a smell .road u•p in
northwestern Pennsylvania saved
his skin in this way. He found chat
his single gasoline unit could be oper-
ated at about 30 per cent. of the cost
of the simplest steam train. His oil
comes from neer-by wells. He buys
it at great ecopomy. His 'good-sized
truck --it will carry some 7 or 8 tons
of freight or passengers -is able to
make six mound trips a day over 12
miles of Mine at less oast than a small
l000mbtive and train could be opera-
ted for two 'round trips. In other
words, he may triple his service -with
an inevitably beneficial .result to his
,passenger earnings --land still make
real savings in his opertatting oasts. A
road which Otherwise would have ad-
ded to that targe aggregate of aband-
owed railroad mileage for 1921 has
been saved -in the great benefit of
the communities it serves.
The god of our rail.rblad operation
in the United States • -day is the
train -miler -Which, Whether in freight
of passenger sert•'ioe, means a stand-
ard mile computed from the total
number traversed by all the trains in
a day, week, a month or a year. Upon
the -,e findings mem. Wise or fail.
For nearly twenty years past rile'
sa'i?ataads have fared steadily increas-
ing Busts in voa'ges, fuel and raw ma-
terials. Until very recently. without
large appo'rbunirties to increase their
charges, they have sought to eomb'tt
a 'steadily i•ncre singssh.rdrp igflh oo
a steadily decrdsirug net revenue by
accomplishing fresh e rtoni'ies in op-
eration,. In the twenty year iperiod
the man that could operate naillroiti
trains est the very greatest economy

the man, the bright eyed chop :who
was supnesed to sell tram'sparbartion,
has been forced to take a' back seat.
The -successful adaptation of the
go -Saline motor unit to the railroads
of this country must come through a
campaign of real transportation
salesmanship. . The mere use of it to
replace steam trains in the present
much depleted anti 'highly 'inadequate

afford it any -thing dike la fair test.
But suppose that steam railroad

senger train -mile, and see riot how

could render on branch lines with the

I am not Al .pessimistic as to refuse
to believe that there are radiro'ad pres-
idents who would ,not take this step
t oday if it were pmapenly put before
them. They would regard the 'replace -
merit of dirty worm -but 'steam trains

forward in their transport service.
Such a step forward should mean a
