IN 193(1, only 93 miles of new lull

It looks as If the days of build
ing paper railroads (once n prom
ising Industry in nearly every com
munity) are definitely "over.
THIS doesn't mean, of course,
, -that tho railroads are dipping
as canlois of freight -and pas
sengers. What It dnos mean is that we
are Hearing completion of an ade
quate (as to mileage) railrond sys
tem In tills country. New railroad
capital Is now- going Into better,
shorter and struighter roadbeds,
more efficient terminals, more
double-tracking and more efficient

The pioneerinpr days of railroad

WASHINGTON, .May 21. (AP)
The interior department urged
Lhe liou.se public lands committee
today to approve a proposed bill
which would permit the treasury to
liquidate a 10,000,000 deficit ac
crued since the government with
drew some 2,000,000 acres of west
em Oregon railroad and Coos Bay
wagon road grant lands more than
20 years ago.
The department said the admin
istration advocated orderly reim
bursement of funds spent by the
government for tho lands and for
money paid as taxes c in lieu of
taxes when the lands reverted to
the government.
A solicitor said revenue nover
had been sufficient to return the
government's original investment
of $2.50 an acre or to meet entirely
taxes and lax subsidies paid the
counties.
Under the proposed bill, revenue
from grant laud timber and land
sales would bo divided to give the
counties ISO per cent, the treasury
25 per cent nfter 8 years and until
the deficit has been liquidated, and
the interior department 25 per
cent for administration. Adminis
tration would Include Inauguration
of a sustained yield policy on tim
ber lauds.
The Interior department esti

The Interior department agreed

private lumber operators to be un
satisfactory. Kufus Poole, assistant solicitor
for the department, offer a substi
