In fact they are of more interest to Americans residing at a distance than to! those who reside nearby. The greater number of visitors, people who enjoy the beauties of the parks the most, are those who come from a dis- tance. From every viewpoint, therefore, it is highly desirable that the government appropriate as much money ‘as can be used to advantage from year to year in the extengion of roads making a Jarger area of the parks available for enjoy- ment by visitors, Public Land Policy Recent disclosures of improper handling of public affairs have been a shock to the nation. How much of the procedure is purely for polit- ical effect and how much of it is hard cold facts the public is as yet unable to ascertain. For many years the west was hampered by a conservation policy which prevented develop- ment or utilization of oil lands, wasting water There are 90 pound steel rails, heavy’ steel passenger cars, 2,000,000 employes earning $3,000,- 000,000 every year. The 1860 locomotive could not haul ten loaded cars of today. More freight is now hauled and more passen- gers handled in a single week than were hauled in a year over embryo railroads on which Presi- dent Lincoln rode to the national capital. Beveridge shows how railroads were built with money at high rates of interest with state and city and county aid and national land grants and counld not have been built otherwise. He shows how stock and bondholders now number over, two million persons, and the best managed railroads are making it easy for em- ployes and customers to become shareholders. He shows how under present taxation methods it is difficult for railroads to borrow money in the open market because their earnings are re- stricted by state and nation. They can only provide upkeep, get new equip- ment or extend their lines by selling stock, using earnings or borrowing money and legislation discourages them from doing either. Before people will invest in railroad securi- ties freely they must be allowed to earn enough to pay good interest on bonds or dividends on stock, for the continued demand for high- Way construction {s found in the fact that year 1923 showed an tn- crease of nearly 3,000,000 in. motor vehicle registration over 1922. These two factors in highway transportation development go hand in hand. Highway expenditures have not kept pace with the de- mand made upon them by the in- creased motor traffic. While motor vehicle registration has increased more than 2,500 per cent in 12 years, highway expenditures for the same period have increased only a Uttle over 500 per cent. The motor vehicle has always been several jumps ahead of the highway. An interesting illustration of the stimulating effect of motor travel and motor vehicle registration on highway development is supplied in the present concerted demand for highway improvement in the South, where the average gain in motor vehicle registration during 1923 was approximately 30 per cent.
