Last year, it has been stated on
authority, more miles of railroad
were abandoned than built. It is but
recently that the policy of permit-
ing the tearing up of railroads which
do not pay the cost of operation has
been adopted, and since the prece­
dent has been established, pthers
now operating are destined to disap­
pear also.
Permission has been sought from
the interstate commerce commission
to Junk 125 miles of road In Indi­
ana. If the prayer is granted, 25
or 30 more or less populous com­
munities will be left without rail­
road service. This will work some
hardships on many persons, per­
haps, but even railroad owners can­
not be compelled to continue inde­
finitely the expediture of money in
excess of receipts. While the vil­
lages may have grown up mainly
through the presence of the railroad
that does not constitute an obliga­
tion to keep the road running at a
loss. The Investors in the railroad
lose their money and if others suf­
fer because it is abandoned they are
no worse off than the owners of the
railroad.
It is the weak lines which are be­
ing scrapped. In the enthusiasm for
railroad construction years ago,
many lines were built which had
small fields from which to draw
revenue and were so located as not
to attract additional business. They
may have served a useful purpose at
one time, but changed conditions
and increased expenses of operations
have been their undoing. However,
not every village finds a railroad in­
dispensable now. With the advent
of solid roads with good grades, the
motor truck in large measure takes
the place of the steam road for local
shipping. A farm 10 miles from a
railroad, provided there is a hard­
surfaced highway connecting the
two, is for practical purposes nearer
shipping facilities than in the old
days with two miles of mud sepa­
rating the farm from the railroad.
Thus the abandonment of local
lines is not the calamity to residents
adjacent that would have been the
case a few years ago. Other means
of transportation have come into
use. The abandonment of railroad
mileage may mean bankruptcy for
the road, but those who have hither­
to used the road may have a more
modern substitute, so that there may
be little collateral loss from the step.

“You are too beautiful to live in a

a Judge from his bench make the
amazing beauty of Reatha Watson a
stigma. He banished her to her homo
at El Centro, Calif. She was then six-
toon. Eight years ago she thought her
beauty was a hindrance. Today it is
the “movie” star's fortune.
