The difficulty, it must be admitted, is like a two-edged aword. If there is no regulation at all and congestion is allowed to take its course the re- sult is quite as devastating to down- town business as too much regula- tion. It is just as difficult, or impos- trade to develop where congestion is 60 serious as to impede as it is and discourage customers where every automobile is forced to | money that found its way into po- litical coffers.

Samnel Rea, retired president of the Pennsylvapia railroad, has ana- lyzed the transportation business and given his views; and what will strike the average individual as something to think about is that Mr. Rea, sees no future worth mention- ing for inland canals or canal of rivers not naturally navigable, saying that expenditures toward this end are nearly 100 per cont waste.
