The rail- roads are going on a long-time revision program which will mean a new transportation system during the next decade. These problems, created by a new frontier, need the clear thinking of the engineer. He is beginning to play a more important part in the business activities which grow out of these studies in economics. It is to the advantage of the men in public life to seek out the engineers who are capable and qualified to serve as aids in planning this new course. The governor concluded his informal talk with the statement that the machine has a language all of its own and it is the engineer who understands this language. With the engineer in control of the machine it is possible to in- vest in them to produce and expand our economic system. Only by a thorough study of these problems on a small scale-such as is possible in the state-can we hope to gain any real benefit from a national reorganization of the eco- nomic system. The conference concluded with a few heated arguments pertaining to government interference in private business and the refinancing of bankrupt utilities and corporations. Our tax system and foreign trade policy were also dis- cussed.
