SPEECH MARKS OBSERVANCE OF NATIONAL RAILROAD WEEK ,t' ; '. ' . ' In the only local observance marking national Railroad Week Frank Openshaw, member of the Union Pacific traffic department at Salt Lake City, addressed the monthly meeting of the Bingham District Business association. Contending that the age of ro-mance and pioneering of railroads had not passed, Mr. Openshaw pointed out that the trains are constantly becoming more luxuri-ous and comfortable and advance-ment is steadily being made in mechanical perfection. Ten billion of dollars are invested in railroads - wesc oi me Mississippi. One billion . dollars is required to meet the year- - ly payroll of 756,000 railroad em- - ployees. Taxes oil this Investment amount to 88 millions annually. Role in Progress Mr. Openshaw reviewed the part railroads played in the development of the west. In the steady advancement of railroad efficiency the safety of the passen-ger- s has been the cardinal princi-ple. In the 1935 records of railroad-ing only one passenger was killed. Railroad lek was celebrated throughout t e west Monday 8 a. m. by blasts from 18,000 train whistles. The observance called attention to the service given by the roads. Rail-road service is a convenience too often taken for granted. Local Freight Rates Mr. Openshaw noted that Bing-ham " merchants enjoy reduced freight rates. Freight charges on merchandise shipped into Bingham are as low as charges for goods billed to Salt Lake.
