Relation Between Rail and Waterway Transportation
The proposition to improve and maintain inland waterways at Government expense, particularly on the larger rivers, leads to the consideration of the economic aspects of such an undertaking which may result in a reduction of earnings to other transportation agencies through Government subsidized competition. The writer endeavors to set forth the situation in such manner as to point out the inequalities which he believes would result from expenditure of the vast amounts of Government funds which would be required to provide and maintain adequate navigation channels on the principal American rivers to be used in competition with the railroads.
