 Washington, D. C., May 2t.-The Gooding bill passed by the senate by inc efforts Of the farm bloc" amend ing section four of the interstate conn mercs act so as 10 prohibit the com nerce commission from allowing rail- roads to establish lower rates for long than for short hauls. is nothing more nor less than "an attack on the in- iegrity Of the member Of the inter- state commerce commission" accord ing to Senator George F. Mclean, Of Connecticut, who led the fight against the bill.
 The bill was backed by senators from the midwestern and intermoun- tain states, who claimed that the in- tsrstate commerce commission, by Vir- tue Of the changes which have been made in the original section of the commerce act prohibiting higher rates for intermediate hauls than for long hauls on the same line, has allowed tho railroads to establish unduly high rates to and from points in the in- terior in order 10 maintain low through rates and compete with water transportation.
 The existing law" Senator Me i.ean asserted in the senate during de- hate on the bill. ifs mandatory. All rates must be reasonable: they shall be compensatory. and they shall he rondiscriminatory II so happens that senators living in the interInoun- tain section believe that existing rates are discriminatory. In other words, they are finding fault with the decision Of the court.
 This situation arises frequently whenever an important matter goes 10 court and is tried. The unsnccess- ful party immediately finds fault. and in many instances he comes 10 the 1 lawmaking body and wants the law amended. Precisely the same aues- lion is involved in this controversy as l. would bs bvoived and has been in- l soived many times in the interpreta- lion Of the antitrust act as to what 1. constitutes restraint Of trade.
 There are thousands of sides 10 his question. Every time there is question ss to whether or not inc rate is reasonable or discriminatory that question goes to the interstate commerce commission. There are f thousands Of these eases that come to their attention and # is for flis court 10 say whether the raie Is reasonable nr not. II is for this tribunal to say whether it comes within the pro- visions of the law or not.

State Highway
Comm. Completes
Intensive Highway
Transport Survey

The Maine State Highway Com
mission completed on November .
one of the most thorough and in
tenSive highway transport SURVEYS
that has been conducted in any state
OF the country.
Highway transport surveys of a
similar nature have been conducted
IN other sections of the country, Cal
iiornia, Connecticut, Pennsylvania,
Illinois. The results of these sur
Veys have been very important fac.
tors In adjusting the highway sys-
TENS to the economic traffic needs of
the states.
Realizing. as other progressive
highway departments have in the
past two years, that an organized
method of obtaining basic data and
facts would greatly aid in solving
technically and economically the
traffic needs of the State, the State
highway Commission started a high
way transport survey in cooperation
with the United States Bureau of
Public Roads on June 30, 1924.
Purposes of Survey
|. Some of the basic practical facts
which the survey will have pro
duced and which will be rendered
In a detail final report of the COM
pieted survey are as follows:
The type and volume of traffic u.s.
ing the primary, secondary, and
third class highways of the State. as
an index to the ALLEGATION of high
way construction and maintenance
funds.
The classification of Maine State
Highway System. as Industrial. high,
medium or low type traffic routes,
and motor truck density, and (2)
motor truck capacities.
The relation between traffic loads
and density and the costs of high
way construction and maintenance,
The extent to which the improve
ment OF old roads or the opening of
new traff1c routes Is economically
justified. '.
The maximum loading, and maxi
mum size of vehicles and the fire.
quency of critical loads as an index
of pavement width and design re-
quirements.
The amount and frequency of mo-
Ntor truck overlooking, distribution of
load to the front and rear axles of
the vehicles, the depth and width
of tires.
The earning value of the State
highway system In comparison with
the present worth of the system.
The number of out-of-state cars
and trucks which make use of the
Maine highway system.
The number of. out Estate people
who make use of the Maine highway
system for touring purposes.
The usage of passenger cars for
business and non-business purposes.
Two Types OF Researches
The survey included two types of
researches: (1) Intensive data, in
Guiding detailed motor truck infor-
nation. were.recorded at 20 key sta
tions t2D Extensive data was re-
corded at % stations.
The combination of intensive and
extensive data insures an accurate
measure of highway transportation.
Portable Berry weight scales were
operated at 20 intensive stations. one
cay every eight days during the sur
vey. The extensive recording sta
tons were operated one day every
10 days during the survey.
Night surveys were taken at key
stations on selected roads. the infor-
nation being used to extend the day
recording to q 24-hour basis.
The data recorded In the field at
the intensive and extensive stations
were forwarded to the United States

waters permanently for future
breeding grounds.
Nearly every person in the State
is vitality interested in the increase
of Holsters on The Maine coast. APP
proximately 1900 are interested
from a business standpoint while the
remainder OF the inhabitants enjoy
them because they are a toothsome
morsel.
THE commissioners are also in
terested in the increase of Holsters
for the reasons mentioned above and
believe an experiment would be
worthy of the money expended If Il
pound could be stocked with berried
Holsters to remain until the young
Holsters Matched; when Matched to
be fed and cared for until they ar
rived at the bottom seeking stage.
Such an experiment would not in
volve a large expenditure of money
and might be of great value to the
fisheries.
ScalIops
"After an extensive Investigation
we believe that the scallop law
should be amended allowing the men
to fish from Nov. l to April Is, with
in the inland waters laid down by the
government during the war and to
fish outside the inland waters the
whole year.
Making this change will allow the
fishermen through the summer
months the right to fish on outside
grounds. where there are apparently
large beds of scallops
Fishing Laws
The public laws should be amend
ed and put in condensed form, using
as few plain words as possible to
make them enforcible Then they
would be understood by all who want
10 hsh: A few sections of the public
laws should be repealed because they
are not workable today. Printing is
very expensive and 1t is useless to
print lot of unnecessary laws"
The report is signed by II. d. erie

Spear of PASSPORT and Lynwood r.
Thompson of Belfast, members of the
commission.
