T ransportation
In discussing the cost of transpor-
tation the Texas Commercial Secre-
taries' Association says that, as a
rule, the producer pays the freight to
the factory or market and the 'con-
sumer pays the freight from the fac-
tory to the point of consumption.
Texas has comparatively few factories,
and the cost of transportation is,
therefore, of paramount importance in
fixing the value of our articles of pro-
duction and consumption. We have
four methods of transportation, viz.:
Public Highways, * Railroads, Water-
ways and Pipe Lines.
Public Highways.
We have 121,500 miles of public
highways in Texas with only 2,000
miles classed as improved public
roads. The average cost of hauling
freight over the public highways of
Texas is 43 cents per ton per mile.
43 Cents Per Ton Per Mile.
The average cost of hauling freight
■ver the public rc2ds of the United
States is 23 cents per ton per mile. As
a producer the farmer gets the same
price for his products whether hauled
over good roads or bad roads, and
as a consumer the farmer pays the
same price for merchandise whether
he hauls it over good roads or bad
roads. The farmer receives the bene-
its of good roads, but pays the penalty
>f bad roads.
The Texas farmer in 1908 raised
8,000,000 tons of products. It cost ap-
proximately $17,000,000 to haul these
products to town. By improving our
public highways to the government
average we can reduce the cost of
transportation one-half and save
58,000,000 per annum.
Mud Road Tax $8,000,000 Per Annum.
The Texas farmer pays in State and
county taxes, all purposes, $7,000,000
per annum, which is a million dollars
less than the bad roads tax. The
money paid to support of government
continues to circulate; it is not de-
stroyed. But the tax levied by the
mud hole is lost as completely as if
it were destroyed by fire.
Fire Losses $4,000,000.
The fires of Texas last year burned
$4,000,000 worth of property while the
bad roads loss was $8,000,000.
Bad roads cause an unnecessary and
useless waste of time and money, in-
crease illiteracy, destroy society and
encourage profanity in the community.
