OUR SHORT-SIGHTED SOU! (From Wall Street Journal, I 28, 1914.) There is a tremendous moral i statement made by the Manufactui Record, of Baltimore, which the So should ponder and digest. Railr construction in the South, in the y now closing, showed the smal mileage in the thirty-three years that publication's existence, and than one-half of the average am increase in that period. In congress the South is now control. I'erhaps unconsciously has been paying off what it cht to believe are old scores. To do t the entire railroad industry of country has suffered. But the inv ment of new capital in the South been less, relatively, than elsewh and the loss to business in that : tion has been enormous. This is at a time when the cot crop has failed, not in quantity quality, but in market ability; w important states have received other black eye in the adding of r nous products, by the allies, to contraband list. Rosin is the bir of shrapnel shells, camphor is a < stituent of smokeless powder, turpentine is the only discovered b for a synthetic substitute. Th with the depression of trade, make burden heavy to bear. But nersi lion of the railroads, for the chea] kind of politics, has added inimea ably to the paralysis of what < looked like a promising developn of Southern resources. What is at the bottom of all tl It is two-cent fare laws, extra c laws, mischievous meddling in place of regulation, truckling to labor unions, sacrificing broad in ests to the selfish demands of s pers who demand rates bearing no lation to the value of the service formed. These things have frigh ed capital away. Real estate rem undeveloped, the industries w supnly the railroads drift from ha worse, and the last economic failui seen in the fact that additions to es already oppressive yield a lo revenue to the respective States. There is an old fable of Aesop w congress and the southern legislat should ponder. It tells of the dis] between the sun and the East win to which could make the traveler move his cloak. The wind only n him draw it closer around him. P perous railroads mean prospe business, and a larger tax collec for public development from greatest taxpayers in the country Here is a proposition as simpl elementary arithmetic. Can Southern politicians see it? Am for no less selfish reasons, can see it before it impresses itself i the mind and pocket of the vote 191(5. _ TWO MILLION All I'OMOBILI There were registered in the eral states last year 1,80:j,411 a mobiles, against 1,127,940 in 1 At this extraordinary rate of crease of nearly 5(5,000 a month, country will have 2,000,000 auto biles by early spring. Two million automobiles repre an investment for the buyers ol least $1,5000,000. Placed end to they would form a double line stro ing clear across the continent. T upkeep and operation must cost year nearly as much as the orig cost of the machines. But t evidently pay, and more and n in a commercial sense, or they w< not go on increasing so greatly number, regardless of industrial pression and war disturbances. in ine great stimulus mat tney j to good-roads construction they h had profound effect in improving economy of the country. The great war, indeed, has been monstrating the peace value of automobile in proving its military portance. It has been of vast and dispensible use in all the armies the transport of supplies and the i ilizing and shifting of troops on scale and with the rapidity which tinguished this war from all otl But for Paris' great supply of machines the army for the defensi that city could never have been 11 shaded as it was at the critical m ent to strike von Kluck on the fl and turn his swift advance eastv and bckward.
