Senator Smith a strong anti- Hydro Radial man, has publicly announced that the sooner we electrify all our Railways the better for the country; and it must be gratifying to a number of those present to-day to rem- ember how a few years ago we waited on the Federal Govern- ment recommending the Elec- trification of certain of of our Railways and the deputation re- ceived scant courtesy and a very impatient hearing at the hands of the Government while to-day it is announced that the Cana- "dian Pacific Railway, the pri- vate ownership model of effici- ency is working on plans for the electrification of its system and I might respectfully suggest that the members of our Asso- ciation and of that deputation . seemed to have some at that » time. Aside from coal the only other source of power of any conse- quence aside from electricity is petroleum and its by-products in the various forms gasoline ete. and it would seem to me that the Ontario Government was placing all its money on petro- ih and gasoline as its winning ee are many things in favor of gasoline, including its cleanliness and the ease with which it- can- be handled, and there are many points in "favor of the motor truck and the, automobile as they would elim- eka necessity for the {Ed the) and "ransmission of sengers and eight could be taken from the point of shipping or from the curb and delivered direct to destination of any place along street with- out change. These are 'all real advantages and on the surface make a strong case for motor 'transport, but the facts are,these many advan- 'tages are their undoing as the failure of an adequate supply of gasoline means disaster to 'the' system. In the commercial world the. law of supply and and demand governs the price of commodities and gasoline that a few years ago sold for fifteen cents agallon now sells at three three times that amount, and it is believed that it will reach a much higher price in the not far distant future. In fact I may say it was only the unexpected and continued development that saved us this year from seventy-five cent gas- 'oline, and this rising price has come not withstanding the new- ly discovered process of cracking gasoline and the new plan of taking gasoline from natural gas s0 in view of the facts of the past five years it is well to now consider about the future. It is common to judge the future by the past,-and the best exam- ple'we can use in this respect is the United States whieh produce two-thirds of the worlds petro- leum and its products and has ninety per cent of the automo- biles of the world. Foreseeing disaster the Geo- logical survey of the United. States in their first report pub- lished in-1908 estimated the en- tire petroleum supply of United States produced and to be prod- uced at eleven billion eight hun- dred million (11,800,000,000) bar- rels of which amount one billion eight hundred million (1,800,000 000) had already been produced.
