f-pNHE people of the United States use four "ways"

Of theae four, the railroads alone now build and
A maintain their own "way#" without the aid of the
■ i . money we all pay in taxer. More than that, they pay
U ; K| taxes on their "ways" v. hich help to support schools

\-\'C?"K. '■" :-t^Roads, nof including city streets, have cost more
than $25,000,000,000 almost twice the investment
I_/ooking at these figures, you can see that it costs
,'-f >AL> f ! '- ■■ money to furnish any kind of transportation "way"
—and the marvel is that railroads, paying the whole
bill themselves, arc able to transport commodities of

below those of any of our other ways of transport
This is no time for snap judgment on the railroads'
problems. What's needed is a sensible program.

Current Facts
Flue-cured tobacco farmers
have received one-fourth more
money from the five crops of
bright tobacco produced under
Triple-A Programs than in any
other 5-year period in history.
5-year period Annail income
1919-1923... .131 million dollars
I 1924-1925... .125 million dollars
I 1929-1933.... 90 million dollars
j 1934-1938.... 167 million dollars
Although the consumption of
flue-cured tobacco has been up
! ward in lecent years, all available
data indicate that income would
have been much lower in the last
5 years if AAA Programs had not
been in effect or in prospect.
Preliminary estimates of fluc
, cured prices indicated that the
! 1938 season average would be
around ?2 1-2 rents per pound.
Prices would have been much low
er if marketing quota provisions
| of the Act had not been in effect
this year.
Income from the 1038 crop is
estimated at nround 175 million
dollars, the third highest return
on record.
Although this vear's crop was
i loss than the 1937 eron. the pres
| ent total supply exceeds the re
j serve supply level.
A cron in 1039 which would in
! crease the carryover bv any sub-
I stnntial quantity is almost cer
j tain to resi'lt in lower prices.
