AIR MAIL SERVICE
RECORD OUTLINED
New Says Achievements
Show Commercial Aviation
Is Practicable.

the air mail service has two out
standing achievements TO its credit
Postmaster General Harry :. New
pointed out to members OF the Ma
tional Geogra phiC Society last evening
in an address a Masonic Temple Audi
torium. 1t has furnished q service of
great value 10 those who require rapid
transcontinental mail service. and it
has demonstrated to private capital
the practiCability Of commercial avi.
alton.
The Postmaster General was intro
duced by DIR. Gilbert Grosvenor. preSi.
dent of the National Geographic So
ciety. who emphasized the Importance
of the air mail service by telling his
hearers that il flies more miles per
year than the combined air services OF
any other government.
Air Mail Contracts Noted.
As indicative of the encoura cement
given to commercial aviation by the
air mail. Mr. New stated that con.
tracts for the transportation of mail
by plane have been let for seven dis
tinct routes in various parts of the
United States, and that others are TO
be let. He explained why the e,rlier
air mail routes over short distances
were not highly successful and why
the transcontinental route, on the
other hand, has given great satisfac.
ton.
Under the most favorable conditions
nearly an hour is consumed in getting
the mail from post office to flying field
and into the air. because of the size of
the terminal cities. A similar delay is
encountered at the end of the flight
Such delays make great inroads into
the time saved by airplane transporta.
tion in the case Of short flights. but
the few hours are of little importance
in the face of the days saved in flight
across the continent
The Postmast ster General declared
that the service planes flew more than
100000 miles with mail last year. and
approximately $500, 900 miles counting
the necessary shifting of planes. etc.
Swift Cross Country Flight.
The trip from San Francisco to New
York is now made in % hours 15 min
utes, while the fight in the reverse
direction is completed in approximate
ly "a hours. The difference is due to
the prevailing west to east winds.
Lieut.. j. Parker Van Zandt of the
Army Air Service, who recently com
pleted flight over the transcontinen-
tai route gathering material for an ar
ticle for the National Geographic
Magazine, followed Postmaster Gen.
eral New, explaining motion pictures
OF interesting phases of the air mail
operation. The difficulties of flight in
storms and billiards and the heroic
actions of the pilots under terrific
handicaps were vividly described by
Lieut.. Van Zandt.

REIMBURSEMENT of Control of

Washington, Feb. 2O.-Rccommen-
dation that steps be taken not only
to divorce the Big Five packers fin
ally from their stockyards holdings
but also from their control of meat
refrigerator cars has been made by
the Federal Trade Commission in a
report to the Senate.
Responding to Senate resolution
for information regarding the con-
sent decree entered into by the pack
ers with the department Of justice
in 1920, the commission in its report
yesterday held that ,stockyards and
railroad cars both were, in fact, ad-
juncts of transportation and as such,
should be subjected to regulation of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Reporting that after a lapse of
five years since the consent degree
was entered the Big Five have sep
arated themselves from only 2.7 per
cent of the par value of their stock
yard holdings. The commission urg-
ed that steps be taken either by the
courts or Congress to complete the
separation. 1t believed this should
be accomplished either through sale
to connecting agencies, either to rail
roads or to separate and entirely

In order to make the refrigerator
cars available on equal terms to all
meat packers and other distributors

WOULD CUT SERVICE

Legislation proposed for further
taxation Of the motor bus business
is in reality confiscatory legislation
and would put out of business most
of the bus lines in the state, +. M.
Skiold Of Minot, president of the
North Dakota Motor Carriers AssO-
citation, and J. G. Belanger Of Bis
marck, general manager of the Inter
state Transportation Company. told
the Senate tax committee last night.
The committee had before it Senate
Bill 1871, requiring motor bus COM
panies to pay 20 percent of their
gross earnings to the state as tax.
Another bill, House Bill No. B.
provides a marked increase in license
rates for motor busses.
Mr.. Belanger said that in 1923 the
Legislature enacted law requiring
all bus lines to come under the sup
ervision and regulation of the state
railroad commission, holding them to
be public utilities. At the close Of
each year the companies arc required
to file annual reports, showing gross
receipts, expenses and net earnings,
he said These reports show that,
he said, il House Bill No. goes
through 25t percent of the bus lines
will be eliminated, and if Senate
Bill No. 181 goes through all bus
operation would be stopped.
Mr.. Skiold said that he formerly
was in The motor bus business in
the state Of Washington, where, he
said, density of population and traf-
fic conditions made it possible for
busses to operate the year round,
while in North Dakota they can oper-
ate only part of the time. He said
he had letter from brother. who
is in the motor bus business in
Washington stating that bills, sim
liar. to the North Dakota bill, had
been introduced in several legisIa-
lures providing for a 25 percent
gross earnings tax.
The motor bus men declared their
lines were filling a great need in
the state. Mr.. Skiold pointed out
that Il 15-passenger bus, under pres
ent and proposed laws, excepting the
gross earnings tax, would pay 1922
tax per year.

ment in Bringing This
About, 1t Is Said

London, Feb. 20.-(By the A. P.)--
Another step toward bringing about
a new limitation Of ornaments con-
ference in Washington developed to-
day when it was announced in Dip
lomatic circles that the attitude of
the British government was at all
times to back up any move by the
United States to establish interna-
tional peace on firmer basis.
While the conversations designed
to bring about such a conference had
been going on for sometime in Lon
don and Paris, as we'll as in Toxic,
it was stated, it was considered that
plans for the conference were we'll
along now in the preliminary stage
and that the conference was likely to
be called for the coming summer.
This was predicated on the under
standing that the attitude of the
Americans! that have been consulted
was to endeavor to set date which
would make it possible for Austen
Chamberlain, British secretary for
foreign affairs, to attend the con-
ference and that he had promised
to make the journey to Washington
if possible.
As viewed in London the con-
ference would be confined to naval
limitations, but there are hopes that
perhaps the conversations sooner or
later might be developed to consider
armies.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 2O.--EficicncY
in farm production, marketing OF
quality produce and cooperation of
the entire nation in working out
farm problems, are the cardinal
needs of agriculture today. De.
William N. Jardinc, recently appoint
ed Secretary Of Agriculture by Presi-
dent Coolidge, declared in an address
last night.
DR.. Jardine assumes his post in
Washington March a.
"Thc prosperity Of America de-
pends upon the prosperity of her key
industry, farming, DR.. Jardine as
serted. "1t concerns every one OF
US. If there is one thing l hope to
secure in my work as Secretary Of
Agriculture it is little more as
sociation bcwecn the business man
of the farm and the business man
of the city. I have never seen any
thing gained by trying to band one
class against another"
The farmer must get quality into
the markets to reduce costs, the
speaker continued. The consumer,
he said, cannot be expected to pay
much more than he is now paying
for his beef stakes, his bread and
his staples.
The future secretary said that the
newspapers would be his great tool
in the chiseling out Of national
agricultural policy.
81 want the farmers to have relia-
bic information fresh when it is
needed and not after the emergency
is passed." he said. "This is the Op-
portunity for our newspapers to be
of universal service. The farmer
must know how, when and what to
plant"
DR.. Jardine paid a tribute to Prcsi-
dent Coolidge. -
"There was never man who un-
derstood the need of the farmer bet
ter than the President" he declared.
"Born on a farm, bred on farm,
he is better acquainted with the pro-
blem of the average farmer than any
of his predecessors, and there new
err was man in the White House
more interested in the west, more in
sympathy with the west or better
informed as to the problems with
which it is struggling.
IL don't just know how to attack
the job am going into, but with the
help of the President and the sup
port I know 1 am going to have we
ought to do something real for the
farmers"
