bus line between Davenport andCouncil Bluffs on Highway 32.  \nIn the course of the questioning,it wassuggested that this individual was espe-cially friendly to the railroads.We ad-mitted the statement,and we have noreason to apologize for our stand on thequestion.  \nThe railroads have contributed more tothe development of this nation than allother enterprises combined.The railroadshave invested more in capital stock,in ma-terials of one sort and another,in labor ofall classifications,and in tangible,perma-nent improvements than any other businessin the nation.  \nThe railroads have revealed the most in-tense faith in the future of the country,andinstead of setting up programs of retrench-ment when times were slow or hard,theyhave extended old lines,built new lines,added new equipment,erected new ter-minals,laid new steel,employed more labor,and developed more resources.  \nIt is true that in the old days the rail-roads asked concessions of the communi-ties through which they passed.But theconcessions granted yesterday have beenpaid for a thousand-fold.The railroadshave repaid in a type and quality of servicewithout which the nation had been pros-trated in the times of supreme need.  \nThe railroads made possible the wideeducation of all the people.Without thetransportation facilities of the railroads wewould be still limited to the weekly news-paper and the old-fashioned magazine.There could be no wide distribution of thedaily newspapers,and the intimate inter-change of business would still be an idea,did not the transportation systems of therailroads eliminate East and West andNorth and South.  \nThe service of the railroads has gone onso quietly and certainly and efficiently thatthe people have come to take it all as amatter of course.I have heard preachersgive thanks in their prayers for presidents,and governors,and newspapers,and armiesand navies and rains,and sunshine,and alot of other things,including crops and hogsand cattle and prosperity.But up to thistime,I've never heard a clergyman raisehis voice to heaven and lead his people intoa prayer of thanksgiving for the railroads.  \nRather,the people have had quite thecontrary attitude toward the railroads.Noother enterprise in the nation has beenblamed for as many woes as have the rail-roads,and political wrath has never beenvented more cruelly than upon the rail-  \nroads.But in spite of it all,the railroadskept going straight ahead,keeping thefaith,giving the very best service,and deal-ing kindly and generously with the public.  \nThe railroads have given the most gen-erous support to agriculture.If I had myway now I'd turn the problem of thefariner over to a group of railroad men andit would be a safe bet that the problemwould be solved.The railroads have spreadthe gospel of better livestock,of diversi-fied farming,of better tillage,of dairyingand poultry breeding,of better homes andcommunities,and of public health.Theyhave co-operated in bringing the markets ofthe world close to the producers of wealth,and have spared neither time,money norbrains to make the farmer a king in hisrealm.  \nI'′m certainly friendly toward the rail-roadis.If I want to go somewhere they'lltake me safely,swiftly,and in a style noti","cbCairCoLp9KfPeU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairCoLp9KfPeU","pdf",264588,"English","# Railways as Good Citizens\n## Contributions to
