Railways : Area

Two chief considerations determine
the construction of railways in a 8011011

prewar or prospective ; in other words,
room for building aid people to fur-
nish tnfhc. Compered with European
countries the United States and most
of the suttee have a much greater pro-
portionate 11100 10 a given mileage of
railways -much more roost for rail-
ways; but, on the other hand, our
buieles hove heerl fru' 1)10(0 liberel in
providing transportation in proportion
to the 11(Ilnber of p00(11e served th1111
any of the old world countries. To
hnild a shortrni)tvay in a deneely pope -
hoed region inns not indicate foresight
or courage, but to push along lines into
thinly peopled territory and even be-
t'0ud the confines of civilization, over
arid plains and through mountain
wilds, and then to set (11(001 the sloe'
