don't want anyone to mistake my

that the criminals of today are our i
boys in their teen and around 2o 1
years of age, and will so soon beji
the fathers of tomorrow
There must be a halt to the speed-

In conclusion, Mr. Chairman I i

J HPHE peril of the road crossing has become a national
1 JL problem with the multiplication of automobiles.
(Wad* muting nrvtou, The Southem Railway System has eliminated 800 grade
«i» bf fmvnutvi if y,m crossings, and is eliminating more every year, but over
i riii appruarh tht ton* 6,000 remain to be separated on this system alone. The
I of danger iMfrmnud to r '
erorrUf mution For total cost to complete the work is a stupendous sum—
t Yo«r Own Protection. probably half as much as the cost to build the railroads.
II Even if the money were available, and the public willing
to pay the increased freight and passenger rates neces
'• sary to provide a fair return on it, many years would be
0 required to do the work.
Protection from the peril for the present generation at
lC least must be found in some other way. Trains cannot
!, stop at every crossing if they are to be run at the sus
tained speed expected by the public and required to carry
u the commerce of the country. The train crosses a high
st way about every mile. The motorist encounters a rail
t- road only occasionally.
11 It is necessary, therefore, for the automobile driver to
' stop in order to avoid risk. No one who did this was
ever killed.
