But today other forms of transportation flourish—they have been fostered as a means of reduc- ing freight rate HE'D NOT SUBSIDIZE The railroads are now subject to vigorous competition from motor ve- hicles and water carriers. Congress has appropriated millions of dolla for fine highways. I have always supported such measures. Likewise Congress has aided water carriers with huge appropriations for the purpose of dredging harbors 1al- izing rivers and otherwise encourag- ing water transportation. Though it has been and urged by many that roads be subsidized with from the Federal treasury, Congress has, and wisely in judgment, withheld Tfirther ‘dies from the railroads. The rail- 2ds are entitled to no special { privileges; likewise they sho not be made to suffer any discrimi- | nation. And when the railroads are :ub,wc-lcd to strict regulation and heir competitors are not, a discrimination. At the request of President Roose- velt, T introduced legislation based on the recemmendations of the suggested the rail- funds the my during its voyage.

The way to get mass consumpiion of railroad service is to reduce rates to a point where people can afford to travel and afford to send pro- ducts of the‘farm to the cities.
