A good concrete-and-asphalt highway costs $36,000 a mile just a bare road, not count ing the cost of culverts, bridges, etc. ' ' Our railroads couldn't be duplicated to day for $150, 000 a mile. They are capitalized fcr only $71,000 a mile- much less than their actual value. Seventy-one thousand dollars today will buy one locomotive. English railways are capitalized at $274,000 a mile; the French at $155,000; German $132,000; even in Canada (still in pioneer development) they are capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The average for all foreign countries is $100,000. Low capitaliaation and high operating effici ency have enabled American Railroads to pay the highest wages while charging the lowest rates.
