The railroad is the modern pack-bearer. For every employee it carries 2,000 times as much. Back of each railroad worker there is n .$10,000 investment in tracks and trains and terminals, with steam and electricity harnessed like n great beast of burden. Without this mighty transportation machine the railroad worker could do no more than the old time packer. But with it he is enabled to earn the highest railroad wages paid in the world, while the country gains the lowest-cost transportation in the world. The modern railroad does as much work for half a cent as the pack-bearer could do for a full day's pay. The investment of capital in transportation and other industries increases production, spreads pros perity and advances civilization. , To enlarge our railroads so that they may keep pace with the Nation's increasing production, to improve them so that freight may be hauled with less and less human effort a constant stream of new capital needs lo be attracted. Under wise public regulation the grwtn f railroads will be stimulated, the country wiil be adequately and economically served, labor will re ceive its full share of the fruits of good manage ment, and investors will be fairly rewarded. cfe advefttiemmt rUft duMstf information eeaeersUnt Me railroad sifuof ie ewf eV lata Kteretrs ey writing to Tht ArlaUtm of Railway Eree (..
