 ENCOURAGE HIGHWAYS
 The conference was called by the c4ans- portation bureau of the federal lAshwNy
 council. of which C.. W. Reid, formerly
 of the transport committee, national
 council of defense. is manager. It repre-
 sents the manufacture of the vehicle, the
 user of the vehicle and the public. who is
 the taxpayer and the real builder of the highway. The discussion throughout the
 entire meeting was based upon the cx pressed desire to ssist In co-ordinatins
 highway transportation with the other transportation agencies of the country; to encourage the development of high ways that will advance the economic lie of the, nation stimulate their use in such
 manner as to facilitate and cheapen the transportation of food raw materials and finished products and cooperate with government agencies, both state and na- tional, to the end that our highways may be of maximum service in the transpor- tstion system of the country.
 The conference was presided over by s. M Williams of Lima, O., chairman of the IeneFdl nlSnWay council
 The purpose of the transportation com
 mittee as outlined and adopted by the meeting will be to recognize the needs or the road builder, to visualize future high way transportation requirements; 10 CO., operate with the railroads, waterways and other agencies of transportation, to
 the end that the public may enjoy that form of transportation which is most eff ficient, economical and practical; to study the problems attending the entrance or | the motor truck into our daily life in order that we may assist the industry which is industrially great and finan- cially strong, in it's effort to be economic l ally right; to encourage the estab- | lisi.ment of motor express lines, where such lines will give a fair return to the investor and serve useful purpose to the community; to promote uniform ] legislation and encourage every mose- ment for the safety of life and limb on our streets and highways; to gather A l information and statistics as will R l guidance to those interested in dete. e....n- l ing the economic field for highway | transport, and act as a clearing house for the dissemination of the same.

Problems Connected With Development of High ways Up at Confer
 ence

Washington, D. C., April 17.-Problems ccnnected with the development of high Nway transportation were taken up at a conference here on April 5 said by stu dents of transportation to be one of the most significant meetings of the kind ever held in the national capital.
 Congressman Esch of Wisconsin, chair man of the interstate and foreign com merce committee, and author of the rail- read bill, gave to the conference his views on the use of the motor vehicle as vital link in the courtry's general transportation scheme. He touched upon the attitude of railways to other forms of transport, and expressed the view that the railroads were not antagoniscc to the newcomer in the transportation geld-the motor truck. He expressed the belief that as roads were built of such character as to make hignway rate mak- ing practical much of the short haul would shift to the highway, to the eco- homie advantage of the railway and the general public as well.
 SCHEDULE OF RATES
 In a rather interesting manner MT. Fsch szetched some of the problems which will confront the people as they enlarge the use of the highways in the adoption of the motor truck. One of these problems was how to arrive at prac- . tical schedule of rates. It was his opin- ion that the boundary lines for rate making, or the fixing of maximum and minimum charge, could come only after standardization of the road surfacing. at least to such an extent that operat- ing costs could be determined upon a fairly accurate basis.
 Through bills of lading from farm to ultimate delivery in distant city was one of the significant forecasts made by MT. Esch. He also expressed conviction that the use of the motor truck and the or ganization of rural transportation routes would go far toward meeting the farm labor problem by releasing time now spent in hauling for use in greater crop production.
 Senator Townsend of Michigan, chair man of the Senate committee on post office and postroads, also addressed the conference on the need for a national highway system as the backbone for state
