 IN MOTOR TRUCKS
Jardine Says It Never Mill
 Compete With R. R.

Chicago, May 2s,--(AP)--Secre- tary of Agriculture W, NJ. Jardlne told the mid. west transport confer once today that there was no basis for the fear that the motor truck would compete seriously with the railroads but that the motor vehicle would find it's place in the scheme of transportation naturally and in- evitably as have all the earlier new users of the highways
 The truck has found its place in the short haul. he said, and it is not taking over any business that the railroads can do as well or bet ter; the truck is not invading the long haul field.
 we can help the motor vehicle find its place ~by wise restraint of its more enthusiastic proponents and by refraIning from regulation which may have a crirpling effect" he de- clared.
 The motor vehicle has given 10 highway transportation a new use fulaeSs and the public has expressed its belief in II by an enormous in- vcstment. Road builders and vchi- cle manufacturers must cooperate in order that the roads shall be built 10 carry the vehicles and that the vehicles shall not overhurden tho road. Railroad. waterway and highway transportation should be co-ordinated in order that each shall be developed 10 its highest point of usefulness without taking from an other the function which the other can perform to the better anvantage of inc public.'
 Motor truck service the speaker said, is distinctly service of dis tribution from ccnters. Its loads are picked Up everywhere and haul. cd anywhere within the short haul limit" he continued. within the short haul limits it Is taking some of this business away from the rail- road. but it Is taking its because 1t can perform better service.

 The federal prohibition depart ment and the police, he says. have approved this policy.

 How important such transfers of business may become. and what win be the effect upon the older carriers, remains 10 be determined, but we should bear in mind tho thought that these older carriers shall not be crippled in tho process, The services which they must continue 10 per form are vital to the economic we'll being of the country. In their proper field they cansnever be displaced by any form Of highway transports ton yet developed, and their services in that field must not be rendered improbable un unregulated and un. wise competition"
 Regarding motor trucks destroy ing the roads, Mir. Jardne said;
 There arc now ns many motor trucks using the roads as there were of all kinds Of motor vehicles len stdls dbut uut Nllt tOsl ol thC lpu'n per ton mile of traffic Is far less now than 1t was then.
 "The idea that trucks destroy roads is hangover from the war period when they were actually de- stroyed, because the heavier motor trucks were suddenly released on roads which had not been built to accommodate them. The roads we are building now are built to accom- modate the traffic they will be call ed upon 10 carry.
 "In the main. I think it must be conceded that the automobile Is functioning in transportation field Of Its own, and is gratifying wants which could not have been met by the railroads"
