A Loaf Big Enough for Two If our foresight had been as good as our "hindsight, we wodtd" néver have built the excessive railway plant we have today. But what is done cannot be undone. There is no use crying over spilt - milk. The problem now is to chart for ourselves the course that will most quickly and most surely place the Canadian National Rail- ways on a paying basis. Thus far the main effort of its manage- ment has -been to get more business-- freight and passenger--for the C.N.R. by taking it away from the C.P.R. ' By that "«method, the cost of securing business is greatly increased for .both systems, with no. real advantage to either. They are merely fighting over the division of a loaf, which isn't large enough to provide sus- tenance for. both. The only way our railway problem will ever be solved is for the voters of Canada to see to it that our railways -are given a bigger loaf to divide--a loaf of freight and _ passenger traffic that will be large enough for both systems to thrive on. > We Have the Acorn, Tr We Must Grow the Oak How to increase freight traffic--that 1s 'the kernel of our problem! The avera Canadian freight train earns $5.00" per "travelled; the average passenger train ry 3 only $2.00. So it's upon the freight end of the business that we must concentrate. Of sos, some kine of Fog are mo : piofitable then TE 7 'per ton per mile than the rates on any other odity, and second because the ay is a. peakload traffic, calling for an enormous investment in cars that are idle the greater part of the year. But there is a substantial. margin of profit in hauling general rherchandise. What can we do to ensure our railways getting mgre of it? Higher Tariff the Cure Increase our population--start a big immigration movement--and the rest will , follow as a matter of course! Easier said than done? Not at alll All we have to do to start the tide of immigration flowing through our ports is to hold out to the prospective immigrant the assurance of a steady DE Ih, at good wages, or the chance to engage profitably in farmipg-or some other form of production or service. A higher tariff, that will be a real Pro: - tective Farifl, will give him a guarantee 'covering every. point. = And And nothing else under Providence wittt - A Lower Tariff is Polson Cr | A Tariff | licy that allows the Canadian market to Spd and more by outside workers, sutomatically 9 - reduce the freight traffic oo railways. ~~ When for instance, due to insufficient tariff Owens , the hay : we import every year, our railways would have the hauling of another 50,000 carloads per year of raw material freight. Picture to yourself the a other things that under a low. tariff policy we import, when under a higher tariff policy we would be making them in our own workshops, and you can hardly fail' do realize that the sane--the sure--solution * of our railway problem is all ready-made ' for us, and awaits only our order via the polls to put it into operation. The neces- sary traffic is there. All we have to do is reach out and g it! 3 Increasing Imports Mean : Bigger Railway Deficits =. | Every time that low duties take away a portioh of the domestic market from a Canadian industry and give it to a foreign. indugiy, our railways suffer in four ways. 5 They lose the hauling of the raw a aterial that such industry would a ave used. © + On the ned produ, instead . | village, : smbroideringshed. spreads in 2 golors, fn 4 This Store be en on Wet dat aftwinom October | illbe ini Octaber 29th fo 28th and. ¢ comply with Government R an for Elect pointed organist of ihe Sunday | School.
