To provide the facilities 0 - eeded for the growth of population E a id traffic in this country will tax ot the financial power of the railroads ra bnd of the Government itself. It "t is now everywhere accepted that it Bi will take an expenditure of $5,000,- to 00,000 to fully expand and equip Ii ie railroads of the country to meet hI le needs of the times, and yet the 1f Vational Government has expended wl the last ten years an tiyerage of ai Soly about $20.000,000 on rivers and tu ha.hors, and will doubtless now halt 180l hesitate unless backed by the.
