Fighting Competition

TT1HE fight against free and open compe-
l tition in the transportation business in
Indiana now is being conducted before the
public service commission.
A bus company is seeking to operate be-
tween indianapolis and Greensburg Under
the law, the State has the power to tell this
company whether or not it can operate in
given locality. The company has no right
legally to exercise it's own judgment. The law
presumes that five men sitting in the State
house know more about whether a bus com
pany can operate proftably than the men who
own the company and have their own money
at stake.
This is just another example of the pres
ent paternalistic system of government for
Indiana.
1t would be just as reasonable for State
board to be given authority to tell druggist
whether he should have the right to set up
drug store across the street from another store.
Not so long ago member of the Indiana
tax board was attempting to answer an argu-
ment against the law which gives the board the
right to tell cities whether they can spend their
own money.
'S1pposing," he said to the man who was
opposing the present system, that you had an
18-year-old boy who was left fortune by his
grandfather. Would you permit him to spend
his money in his own way without any direc-
ton whatever?'
That is the trouble with the whole system
of State regulation. 1t assumes that cities and
corporations and individuals have 18-year-old
minds or that they are entirely irresponsible
when it comes to handling their own affairs.
1t assumes that the only persons capable of
handling such affairs are the men who compose
the boards that sit in the Statehouse
Upon what meat do these, our Caesars,
feed that they have grown so great?

Perhaps that's all true. But
people naturally dislike location
of smelly manufacturing enter
prise in their vicinity-and natur-
ally takes such steps as possible
to prevent it.
If tender regard for the asphalt
plant is the sole obstacle to an
nexation that matter might be
compromised. The city might sell
the asphalt plant Golden Hill
lark. That site would afford ex-
cellent transportation facilities.
The territory proposed for an
nexation is already bounded on
two sides by the city. As it is
practically an integral part Of the
city, it's inclusion would do
violence neither to geography or
political economy. Eventually the
city will take it in, why not now?

CHECK TO
HASTY MARRIAGES

I-1WO JeI1erSOnVllle cd
ministers have declared
IL they will not marry couples
coming from Kentucky for that
express purpose. They oppose the
hurry up marriage traffic of
the Clark county metropolis.
At a meeting of Jeffersonville
ministers they said they felt it
their moral and legal duty to up
hold the State law which requires
residence in the county thirty days
of female applicant for marriage
license.
Other ministers present, how
ever, were of the opinion they
should marry any one to whom
license has been issued by the
county clerk.
Which Is right? To a layman it
would seem that one officiating at
a wedding Of a couple whom he
suspects obtained license i'm
properly is willing accessory to
law violation. The mere fact that
a license is issued doesn't abb
solve him.

the States counsel and William
Jennings Bryan.
Tennessee is a fitting ground for
the first legal tilt of fundamentalism
VS.. modernism. 1t is the home of
numerous church and Sunday
School boards and religious publica-
lions. It's churches are seeded with
Fuhdamentalists of the old Puritan
strain. Not only Is ones religion a
matter of public concern. but ones
religion may easily be the cause of
personal or institutional enmity.
Religious passions and prejudices
run deep, and creeds are taken Sc
riously. Elections are based TO a
greater extent upon reaction to re-
hgious feeling than in many States
Governor Austin Pesy, candidate
for denomination in the Democratic
primary election. declared himself a
believer in the old-time religion and
an opponent to the school of mod.
ernism. His opponent was DIR. Neal.
who believed In evolution and said
so. Governor Peay committed him
self to the tenets of fundamentalism
and won the nomination hands down
on his politico-religious platform.
Political Issues
The Legislature. with a customary
flood of bills. took a decided trend
toward prohibitory legislation.
Closely akin to Governor Peay's pre-.
election policy was the bill to save
the State school system from the
evolutionists. 1t provided that no
theory in conflict with the Biblical
story of Adam could be taught.
The bill drew approval from fun
damentalists, condemnation from
most modernists, and laughter from
school and university faculties. The
few legislators who openly opposed
the bill fought bitterly against big
odds and lost Most OF the legisla-
tors were elected by rural votes, and
these votes were on record as op.
posed to Evolutionist Neal. evolu-
tionists IN general. and anything
which might be accused of non-ad.
herence to the Bible. When many
churchmen added their support to
the bill, passage was inevitable.
Law Attacked
The Scopes test case is the first
step in a movement to have the law
declared unconstitutional. The case
was launched when George w. Rap
pleyea, chemical engineer here.
swore out warrant against
Scopes. Rappleyea will be one of
the directors of Scopes defense. He
is now receiving offers of aid from
organizations and individuals
throughout the Nation, and is re-
joicing at the entry OF Bryan into
the case with:
"At last the Lord has delivered
him into my hands,"
The test case is the natural result
of the law, which was in turn the
natural result of intolerance among
religious factions. The trial will de-
eide the legal aspect, of the case in
time. 1t is doubtful whether it will
settle the seething resentment of
the average Tenesseean against an
other of different beliefs.

the longest motor runs yet estab-
lished in the State.
This action is more significant
or the future possibilities Of bus
transportation than even the cele-
bration Tuesday marking the open
ing Of the new bus terminal in In
dianapolis.
This traction company is already
extensively in the bus business. 1t
operates several lines for short
haul traffic paralleling it's rails.
Now it puts on motor vehicles to
compete with it's own limited cleo
trio interurbans for through serv-
ice.
Before the public service COM
mission several rounds in the bat
tie Of electric railways VS.. buses
are scheduled to take place in the
next few days. Vested rights of
existing electric lines will be ar
gued to influence the commission
to grant or reject certain applica-
tons for bus permits.
OF course, it will be unfortunate
for the electric lines if permits are
granted to competing bus opera
tors who will cut into their bust
ness. But perhaps that can't be
helped
The bus business is growing by
leaps and bounds. The question
is no longer its effect on other
transportation agencies but public
convenience. Regulation should be
sorely to insure that the public
will get the best possible trans
portation service at the lowest
cost.
