Tito following InterotliiK nrtlrlc ni written by J. . Miller, local nKent fur tho Southern Pacific, who Ims iim.lo n deep study of nit matter lierbUnlng to transportatien: Tho ltoman Empire reallicd the lmportanco of adoquato transporta tion facilities and mado provision to moot their demands. A prlnclplo fca turo In tholr system was to construct and maintain highways leading to the city of Rome nnd Jealousy guarded tholr every lntorcst wheroby n mighty emplro was bulldcd nnd main tained for several centuries leading tho worlds' commerce. Each genera tion has been confronted with tran sportation problems from tho Im memorial as is tho present situation complicated with Its Intrlcato diverg ing interests. Tho steam railroad solved tho problem to nil mankind for n con siderable tlmo. Capital was Interest ed In tho development and encourag ed to Invest. Large tract of tcrrltorj was oponcd up to agricultural pur suits. Tho forest penetrated with a leading artcrle to tho market. Man kind prospered and forged uhcad. Tho countrjs' natural resources were now available to the uso of humanity. With tho natural human Instinct to grasp and master tho cluslvo un known, mankind dovolopcd tho automobile- which wo nil accept as among tho leading gifts to civiliza tion. It is lndlspcnslblo to society and we have no dcslro whatever to retard Its progress nor condemn its exist ence. Hut let us summarlzo briefly tho resultant consequence. Society becamo Intoxicated with enthusiasm in Its mad pursuit of pfcasuro and profit. Expcnstvo highways were con structed paralleling to a very great extent the rails of the common car rier who weathered tbo pioneering In developing tho resources of mountain and plain. The nuto truck then made Its ad vent In commercial enterprise. First as a means of rapid delivery of goods within the cltys' boundary lines. Later to tho farm and forest, gradually en gaging In the business of a common currier, but without tho regulation that Is imposod upon tho largo trunk lines who must bear tho burden of maintaining tho bulwark of our com mercial Intercourse with the world. Tho auto truck is now In cvory stato In tho union operating over these public highways that are kept up by taxation of which a generous portion of the burden being placed upon tho railroads. These trucks are not controlled by the Public Utilities Commissions In all states, nor do they come under the regulation of tho Intcrstato Commorco Commission who are emphatically dictating the policies of tho railroads. Tho rail roads n ro obliged to purchase a fran chise build and mnlntaln a road bed, furnish sufficient equipment, at an cxhorbltant prlco, and this same equipment cannot be utilized at a profit during tho cntlro season. fren tho harvest has moved thoso high priced cars and locomo tives nro sidetracked to deteriorate until such time as they can bo put back In sorvlce. Tho Interest on moneys Invested howover goes right along and when it is reallred that box cars, or us a matter of fact any u.iuik bios wm depreciate more rapidly than the samo amount of capital Invested in a stationery struc- luro some Idea of tho tremendous ovorhoad that Is ever facing the railroad will be appreciated. Lot us view tho local situation, which to many of us Is more compre hensive, as we nro not In a position to discuss the national question of nuto truck transportation. Let us take Just one raljroad. The Southern Pacific paid the state of Oregon In 1920 about 91,110.000 taxes. Klam nth County receiving about 134,979. Klamath Falls 25 years ago had a population of n few hundred, today It Is recognized as ono of the beat little cities In tho west with a popu lation of some 8000 people The Southern Pacific is furnishing em-j Ployment to about 100 men who are FOR RENT- Tour rooms nnd bath Steam Heat Over Army store.

This is Just one small Item among tho many advantages that nro reck oned as assets to this community. It might be said that the railroad Is getting paid for Its service. True, oth erwise operation could not continue. Tbo overhead of a railroad must con tinue wnemcr us earning powor keeps up or not. During tho summer season the auto trucks opratcd be tween Ashland & Medford and Klam ath Falls taking what they cared to carry. This merchandise rightfully belonged to tho Southern Pacific aa they had dally service and operated on a schedule. Tho auto trucks dis continued operation Immediately when tho weather becamo stormy leaving the railroad to battlo with tho elements and give us tho service wo need until summer cornea and the sun shines again. Then tho auto truck will bo In ovidence again but only during favorablo weather. The Southern Pacific paid for Iojs and damage during tho past year over $2,000,000 dollars which we may accept as a criterion of Its de sire to be fair. And demands that Its employes bo courteous and thought ful of tho welfare of all patrons. Oregon Is a wondorful state and her resources arc largely undevelop ed. She Is demanding highways, which wo believe sho Is rightfully en titled to. These highways are being capitalized as an attraction to the tourist travel. The maintenance will be nominal after they are once con structed. It might be well for un to look Into the auto truck transporta tion along his specific line, it i. stated that the maintenance cost of state highways In New England ad-' uuicu uura iivu a mile to 11,500 a mile alnco motor vehicles cams Into goneral use. This Is only a quotation nnd It may bo greater or smaller In various sections of tho country. Wr do know that the nuto truck destroys the road and that It does not keep up the overhead carried by a railroad. Anyone desiring to start an auto truck can with a few dollars and n little credit Procure a truck, mako monthly payments and operate while tho traffic Is satisfactory discontinu ing when he gots ready. This the railroad cannot do. The railroad must n nunmises, construct roads, pur chase equipment, assume the llablll- ties placed upon them by tlie Public Commissions, obtain permission to start operating on a schedule and then maintain that samo schedule nnd It It is desired to discontinue oporatlon permission must first be authorized by tho coironlnrton. It would seem to mo that co-ope ration and not competition In this In stance would result more advantage ously to all concerned. In the public demand auto truck service some sys tem wheroby the truck operator would be assessed for the uso of the highway, and Its upkeep should be adopted at once. This seems to be among tho foremost subjects demand ing public attention at the present time and the quicker It Is adjusted the sooner your railroads win h. SLIGHTLY USED PIANOS and Pho nographs.
