Government Railroad Plan Pitches Federal Freight Line
Senator Whiting argues for a government owned double track freight railroad from the western frontier to Atlantic ports to cut shipping costs and rival private lines. He cites 4l cents per bushel inland transport versus one cent per mile, estimating a 50 million dollar cost and comparing to debt and wartime expenses. The piece also recalls Christmas observances at local churches with tree gifts, music and devotions, praising community fellowship.
