Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Waterways Problem The report of the Inland Waterways Commission, appointed by the President in March of 1907, again calls attention to the urgent need of some drastic measures which will relieve the coun try from the inadequate facilities for the removal of the enormous tonnage which the nation produces. In referring to the report in his message the President characterizes it as the conservative, sane and just judgment of a body of exceptionally well qualified ex perts, and adds that if it errs-at all it is by over-conservatism. The subject of which it deals is of critical importance, both to the present and to the future of our country. Being in full accord with these sentiments and realizing the urgency of a speedy conclusion which shall make provision for the opening of the magnificent systems which the United States af fords for internal transportation by water, it seems appropriateto review briefly the actual situation and the remedies suggested. Not in a spirit of criticism, but with a View to an early remedy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The National Convention of the American Cheap Transportation Association written by Board of Transportation and Commerce and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Convention of the American Cheap Transportation Association: Held at Lyceum Hall, Washington, D. C., January 14th, 1874 Another class, who profess to be highly scientific, have 'a great deal to say about natural channels of emigration and commerce, and certain parallels of latitude, along which they flow just as naturally as water runs down hill. This may be all very well but it does not satisfy the minds of practical men. They want something more reconcilable with the dictates of common sense. They know that there are no natural channels of trade or emigration any more than there are natural railroads or ships or steamboats - that the trade goes where it can be made most profitable, and the emigrant where he can find the most com fortable home and the largest remuneration for his labor. The trade and the emigrant both seek the West and go by that route which will take them cheapest, else why do they not land at Boston or at Portland instead of passing these places and going to New York? The solution of the question may be found in two words, cheap transportation. This furnishes the key to the whole mystery. It is well known that the old road wagon is the most expensive mode of transportation in common use; the hext, railroads, and the cheapest, water. Although it is perhaps a little more difficult to get at the precise difference be, tween the three. The late Commodore M. F. Maury, gives the difference as follows: Railroad transportation five hundred per cent. Cheaper that by road wagon by free canal six hundred per cent. Cheaper than by rail and by river seven hundred and fifty per cent. Cheaper, making an extreme difi'erence of seven hundred and fifty per cent. In favor of the cheapest inland transportation by water. This estimate is based upon an actual comparison of lines operated in different parts of the country. Recent experiments on the Erie canal show that a ton of freight can be moved over that line in the old fashioned horse-boat at five and one-half mills per mile, including State tolls, and that it is possible to transport a ton of freight over a railroad, like the New York Central, with grades of only twenty feet to the mile, for nine and one-half mills per mile. This would still leave a difference of about one hundred per cent. In favor of the canal. But when we bear in mind the fact that very few and perhaps no railroads can be built between the W'est and the Atlantic with grades so low, and when we re member also the many other conditions involved in this reduction to nine and one-half mills, we are satisfied that the actual per cent. Of difference must be still greater. But the same experiment (above alluded to) demonstrates the feasibility of using steam as a motive power on canals, and the first application of it has resulted in a reduction of sixty-five per cent. On the present 'cost of transporta tion, making the actual difference between the canal and this railroad possibility something over four hundred per cent. Competition cannot alter these figures nor can legislative enactments change them. They must remain as now until some mode of operating railroads at less expense be found - and this would doubtless be the case with canals as well. The people of the West understand this question of water transportation very well, and the people of the other parts of the country are beginning to wake up to the fact that the development of their interests depends upon cheap food. And consequently a freer and cheaper inter course with our brethren of the West. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The International Quarterly Vol 6 Classic Reprint written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The International Quarterly, Vol. 6 The census of 1900 shows that more than seven and one half million acres of what was once part of the American Desert are now being cultivated by irrigation. The moisture which clouds fail to furnish has been taken from streams. The farms thus created are among the highest priced and most productive on the continent, but their value does not inhere in the soil. Because land is abundant and water scarce, it is the stream which is important, and water rights rather than land titles determine both the prosperity and the price of the irrigated farm. Land near Riverside, California, with a water right, has sold for one thousand, seven hundred and fifty dollars an acre. The same kind of land in the immediate neighborhood, but not susceptible of irrigation, would not sell for ten dollars an acre. This immense difference in values is due to the difference in production. The irrigated acre will grow oranges; the unirrigated, cactus and stunted grass. On many irrigated acres near Greeley, Colorado, the crops grown last year sold for one hundred dollars. These acres were below the ditch. Above the ditch twenty acres of the same land, unirrigated, did not grow enough grass to support a steer. The irrigated acre is no more fertile than the unirrigated one, yet it sells for one hundred dollars while the unirrigated one is not worth the government price of one dollar and twenty-five cents. A shifting of the water right from the irrigated to the unirrigated acre would exactly reverse these values.

Download or read book U S Health in International Perspective written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-04-12 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is among the wealthiest nations in the world, but it is far from the healthiest. Although life expectancy and survival rates in the United States have improved dramatically over the past century, Americans live shorter lives and experience more injuries and illnesses than people in other high-income countries. The U.S. health disadvantage cannot be attributed solely to the adverse health status of racial or ethnic minorities or poor people: even highly advantaged Americans are in worse health than their counterparts in other, "peer" countries. In light of the new and growing evidence about the U.S. health disadvantage, the National Institutes of Health asked the National Research Council (NRC) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to convene a panel of experts to study the issue. The Panel on Understanding Cross-National Health Differences Among High-Income Countries examined whether the U.S. health disadvantage exists across the life span, considered potential explanations, and assessed the larger implications of the findings. U.S. Health in International Perspective presents detailed evidence on the issue, explores the possible explanations for the shorter and less healthy lives of Americans than those of people in comparable countries, and recommends actions by both government and nongovernment agencies and organizations to address the U.S. health disadvantage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Land and Water Resources: Current and Prospective Supplies and Uses Although thousands of acres of farmland are con verted annually to other uses - urbanization, roads, wildlife, and recreation - and population has risen a third in 20 years, we are in no danger of running out of farmland. Increasingly efficient production methods, a declining rate of population growth, and an abun dance of water resources and land with agricultural potential should ensure our domestic food and fiber needs to the year 2000 and leave enough land left over for other purposes. Distribution of the Nation's land among major uses has not changed markedly in recent decades. Agri culture continues to use more of our land than any other segment of the economy. In the 50 States, about a fifth of all land is used for growing crops and well over a third, including both grassland and woodland grazed, is used for livestock grazing. Forest land occupies a third of the total land area. About one-eighth of the land consists of marshes and swamp, desert, tundra, and barren land. Land in urban uses has about doubled since 1950 and now makes up almost 2 percent of the total land area. One percent of the land area is used for roads, airports, and other rural transportation facilities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
