COMMISSION CALLS MEET TO WORK OUT
 MOTOR SERVICE LAIN

To work out ways and means of en- forcing the new law regarding motor vehicles for hire, without working un- due hardship on anyone, the corpora tion commission has invited all the county attorneys and sheriffs in the state, or their representatives, and a representative from each incorporated city, to meet at the office of the com mission in the capitol May 22.
 The new law puts under the control absolutely, of the corporation commits sion, every vehicle operated for hire to carry either passengers or freight, whether they operate on country roads or city streets. Stage lines, jitneys, taxicabs, motor freight lines, every thing motorized that gets money for service rendered, is to be under their control after June IS.
 Every person or firm desiring to operate in any of these fields is to be hereafter looked upon as a public ser vice corporation, in a sense and must, like other public service companies, secure from the corporation commits sion a. certificate of convenience and necessity, and operate under tariffs set by them.
 The point that may prove tempora- rily embarrassing is the amendment put on in the house, that provides that the law go into effect of June IS, and that all must have the certifictes. This will outlaw all in the business on that date, for the applications for certifi- cates can not well be made under a law that does not yet exist.
