Unfortunately, this factor has

First, and most important is
the planning of the home around

Union Pacific Ground
Drew Political Oratory in '63
By DONALD R. PIEPER
United Press International
OMAHA, Neb. (UPI) - A
century ago an expectant crowd
in a holiday mood garnered in
the bottomlands along the Mis
souri River.
On Dec. 2, 1863, ground
was broken for construction of
the Union Pacific Railroad.
The crowd cheered as politi
cians and promoters extolled
the project as "the greatest
work ever projected, in any
age or country." Cannon roar
ed as the earth was turned
with ceremonial spades.
In 1B63 when the crowd of
about 1,000 gathered at the vil
lage of Omaha for ground
breaking ceremonies, the only
way west was on foot, or on
horseback or aboard a jerky,
back-wracking covered wagon.
Or there was the months-long
sea route which involved sail
ing to the isthmus of Panama,
a wagon ride across that strip
of land and another long trip
aboard another ship.
But thousands had made the
torturous journey, most of
them lured by gold, and they
had settled along the Pacific
Coast separated from the
friends and relatives they had
left behind.
War Splits Union
There was another reason a
political reason why this
link of rails was so important
a century ago. The Civil War
had split the Union, and this
physical connection to the Far
West with railroad tracks was
considered psychologically vital,
Already, the Central Pacific
Railroad had begun pushing its
tracks eastward trom hacra-
mento into the face of the tow.
ering Sierra . Mountains. May
10, 1869, on the barren dome of
Promontory Hill in Utah, the
Union Pacific and the Central
Pacific would join their tracks
wth the driving of the cele
brated golden spike.
But on the second of Decem
ber in 1863 this was all a dream
which might, just might, be
come a reality.
Extols Project
George Francis Train, a man
with a uniquely appropriate
name for the job, was the
main speaker that day. Train,
aescrmed oy historians as a
remarkably eccentric crony"
of Thomas C. Durant, the real
spearhead of the infant Union
Pacific, called the construction
of the railroad "Ihe grandest
enterprise under God the world
has ever witnessed.
He offered this proof that he
wasn t kidding:
bour thousand years aco the
pyramids were started, but
they simply represent the van
ily of man. The Chinese Wall
was grand in conception but
built only to break the tide of
invasion. The Imperial Canal
was gigantic. But how limited
all these things appear in com
parison to an enterprise that
joins together 34 states and a
dozen territories."
He was optimistic about the
future. "Ten million of emi
grants will settle in this golden
land in 20 years," ho said. And
he allowed that, while building
a railroad across the prairie
and mountains would be diffi
cult, America could handle the
job because she "possesses one
half Ihe common sense, three
fourths the enterprise and seven-eighths
the beauty of Uie
world."
The applause and cheers of
the crowd were punctuated by
the banging of cannon. Brass
six-pounders on either side of
the river were fired at frequent
intervals.
There was an impressive ban
quet in Ihe evening.
President Lincoln was ill and
had a secretary relay his good
wishes to the promoters. But
several members of the Lincoln
cabinet sent telegrams or let
tors lo he read to Ihe shivering
bul happy riverbank crowd.
Secretary of Slate William H
Seward, preoccupied with the
'wretched and wicked insur-
Tection.
said with the exlen-
forever afterwards impossible"
because "Ihere will be no ful
crum for the lever of treason to
resl upon."
Interior Secretary .1. P. Ush
er predicted that when the Civ
il War ended "thousands upon
thousands" of veterans would
"seek new homes and new ad
ventures in Ihe vast fields of
gold and other precious metals
already found, and still being
discovered, in such astonishing
richness, throughout i the
West)."
The predictions may have
sounded wild lo some ears in
1863. But Ihe pioneers were ex
isting on (ailh that the future
would be filled with miracles
and bounty.
The Union Pacific was built.
And. like all Ihe West, it pros
pered. The 1962 annual report
shows total assets of more than
$16 billion and more than 10,
oofl miles of track.

even get started. ' I
Immediately after Treasurv Secretary Dillion took office,
his staff began pushing for tax
encourage them to increase their spending on new plants ana
equipment. In 1962 businessmen did get tax concessions from
the Treasury and Congress amounting to over $2.5 billion a
year, and as one result business spending on plants is at a
record now and heading higher.
When Kennedy was killed, it could have been a signal
for businessmen to downgrade their spending plans despite
the tax incentives and the bright sales profits outlook. But
so far there have been no signs of this whatsoever and
19S4' programs well may be revised upward. The tax
incentives are working and business spending plans remain
geared lo a bright sales-profits outlook.
As far back as 1961, Kennedy began urging across-the-board
tax cuts for individuals and corporations to spur our
economy's growth, and the tax bill now coming out of the
Senate Finance Committee is the result.
When President Johnson tcok over, it could have been a
signal for consumers to pull back on buying while they waited
to see whether Johnson would fight as hard for Uie tax cuts
as Kennedy did. But in his first address, Johnson made his
strong pica for tax reduction, and the bill may be passed
earlier than would have been the case under Kennedy. Con
sumers are continuing to spend freely and the stimulating im
pact of tax cuts is suit to come.
Our economy was in its 33rd month of advance under
Kennedy in November, and it's now in its 34th month of ad
vance under Johnson in December. Profits and paychecks were
hitting new peaks under Kennedy, will hit new peaks under
Johnson.
None of this belittles Johnson's superbly reassuring per
formance since he took office, nor does it exaggerate Ken
nedy's achievements before his death.
But the key fact is that the assassination might have had
a devastating effect had it occurred before the Kennedy ad
ministration had done so much major work and the action
of the U.S. dollar is as dramatic an illustration of this point
as could be found.
The instant the story broke, the world's central bankers
put Ihe weapons in the dollar defense arsenal lo work. Be
fore speculators could even begin to dump dollars. Ihe New
York Federal Reserve Bank was in the market offering for
eign currencies in exchange for dollars. Before our of
ficials could even phone central bankers elsewhere, they
were on the phone lo us asking what they could do to help.
Before gamblers in gold could start a runup in the London
gold market, the bankers were selling to keep down the
nricc of the orecious metal.
Meanwhile, other policy actions we have taken bolstered
confidence in our currency. The whole world knows we have
pledged not to devalue the dollar. Every foreign banker knows
we are taking firm steps to close the deficit in our balance
of payments, to stem the drain on our gold reserve, to curb
the outflow of hot money. Every nation knows we are deter
mined to bring our international financial accounts into bal
ance. This tale of the dollar-raid-which-wasn't might have had a
far different ending had the assassination taken place 18 months
aeo. But Johnson has taken over at a time when Uie dollar's
defenses are strong, tax incentives are helping business and
tax cuts arc on the way. The
luck of all of us too.
