I Phot* 17 City Lajjrv J I I VIEWS OF EASTMAN I ON P. &N. DECISION INTEHE8TINQ CONCURRIING OPINION GIVEN BY MEMBER OP COMMI88ION. a > Washington, D. C.?(Concurring In Oie doclHlon of the Interstate Cominerce Commission,denying the petition of the Piedmont end Northern Hallway Company for uulhorlty to extend Iih lines, which was announced April Hih, Commissioner Eastman filed the j following interesting supplements' I opinion: "The report in this proceeding to my mind contain* an excellent analysis of the facta and exposition of the law, end I find no dltflculty in agreeing with the conclusions reached. It seems desirable, however, by way of emphasis to summarise briefly certain essential reasons for denying this certificate, as I see t,hera. "In determining whether the construction of new railroad* lines should be authorised, doubts should, I believe, be resolved in favor of their construction, particularly where new territory not already supplied with railroad service is being opened up. That this has been our policy in granting certificates of exigency the record of past cases amply demonstrates. But desire to avoid any undue restriction of enterprise ought not to lead us to approve new construction which involves needless, costly, and wasteful duplication of existing facilities. That la what the law was Intended to prevent. "Experience and* observation hare shown that a proposed new ljne of railroad is always desired by the people in the territory affected. If the expression of such desire Is in itself a sufficient reason for the granting of a certificate, then the law might an well permit unlimited construction. Plainly there must be other evidence that public convenience and necessity require a new line. "Here it is not proposed to open op any new territory, but to build & third line of track parallel to and practically within sight of an existing double-track railroad which is admittedly providing good service and is not used to anything like Its Inherent capacity. The attempted justification for such duplication -of facilities rests largely upon a claim of superior 'flexibility' In electric operation of the kind proposed. If that be a reason here for adding a third track alongside of an existing double-track line with large reserve capacity, it must also be a reason for third-tracking in a simile* way many other double-track lines, which operate through manufacturing districts. "Carried to a logical conclusion such a policy would result in a heavy Increase In the transportation burden updh the people of this country. But this claim of need for more 'flexible operation Is not Impressive, for reasons sufficiently Indicated In the main report. Under present conditions, a third track through this Carolina district, opening dp no new territory and reaching no new markets, would be sheer economic waste. We would lie derelict in our duty if we permitted such waste. One mistake pf this.kind has reoeritly, in my judgment, been made In Florida and It ought not to be repeated here. "If there were need for strengthening this conclusion, such need would be supplied by the f^ct that this proposed new railroad ia closely affiliated with powerful private Industrial interest* In the Oarollnas. The evil* of Interrelation between transportation lines and industries whlcjj they serve are ! manifest. Such arrangements breed privilege _ and preference, find . run counter <to .the spirit and I believe also, | in many cages, the letter of the law. "TheYe are enough at present without adding to the sum total, and I trust that we ohall soon be able to test the Jegallty of existing Interrelations of' this character."

Atlanta, Ga.?Safety of passenger travel by train is shown by the record of the Southern Railway System which during the year, 1927, transported 10,067,265 passengers an average of 107.59 miles without a fatality among passengers^ the result of a train accident. *^1 -~TtrbHndle~ tmfc volume ? lravll~ Southern passenger locomotives ran 21,080,488 miles while the total mileage traveled by the passengers Vrho used U?e Southern's trains reached the almost Incomprehensible figure of 1,-r 083,110.041 miles, more than ^eleven times the distance from the earth to the sun.

Detire to Own Land Old ae Human Race The Instinct to acquire and own land Is as deep rooted in human beings as almost anything about them. History offers Innumerable texts for sermons on the wisdom of land ownership and proves the foresight of the founders of our nation In acquiring Son't t6rrltorlea for unlimited expanLand ownership, mistaken for national pride, has caused the majority or the world's great conflicts.
