HIRAM ON JITNEYS.- Hiram
Johnson of California refused to sign
a measure passed by the legislature
regulating the jitneys, thus permit
ting it to die. Gov. Johnson states
his reasons as follows:
''The jitneys present a serious
problem. They should be regulated.
They cannot be properly regulated by
an infiexibIe law of the state. The
problem varies in the different COM
munities. Each community should
deal with it and each should insist
upon appropriate measures to pro-
tect the public and should require
such license tax as may be deemed
essential.
What today might appear to be
fair regulation by the state, two years
hence might be wholly inappropriate
and unjust, and the state can only
act every two years. l have left
therefor the regulation until time has
proved the experiment a success, or
otherwise.
