Railroads Want Bus Regulation

Since railroads are subject to regulation, bo:h as
regards interstate and interstate operations, it is only
fair that motor bus and truck lines, operating in com
petition with rail lines, be regulated also, is the con-
tention Of A. P. Russell, vice president Of the New
York, New Haven G. Hartford railroad.
In a recent address before the newly formed motor
transport division Of the American Railway Associa-
tion, organized to study motor traffic and its relations
to the railroads, he pointed out there is now a bill
pending in congress providing for federal and state
regulation of motor bus and truck lines. TIE bill IS
opposed BY the National Automobile Chamber Of Com
merce.
The recently organized motor transport division, in
which most Of the major lines Of railway are inter
ested, was organized to study bus and truck competi-
tion and TO devise means for extending the motor and
truck service of the railroads, especially for branch
lines and short hauls. Sixty OF the ls9 Class | raii-
roads Of the country now operate motor bus lines and
a number are also operating trucks for short hauls.
A. j. Brosseau Of New York, vice president Of the
National Automobile Chamber Of Commerce, in dis
cussing the opposition Of that body to the proposed
regulatory measure now pending in congress, stated
that the opposition arose because at would not be
possible to operate under it practically. | do not be-
lieve the automotive industry objects to regulation.
We stand ready to cooperate fairly. II the solution
Of the problem rested in the hands Of a meeting such
as this, it would not be difficult to reach. Most Of
the trouble over the question results from the matter
having been in the hands q other than practical! OPP
Grating men
That the Parker bill, upon which congress will take
action at the next session, does not meet the sitGa-
ton Il generally contended By bus and truck operators
as we'll as rail men, and they will join in opposing il.
But If a measure, framed By practical operators ard
designed 70 give both rail and truck lines a square
deal" IS presented in the next congress i will receive
the endorsement and cooperation Of all interests.
That bus and truck lines should be regulated upon
much the same basis as rail lines is generally conceded.
The use 81 these methods az transportation has in
creased far more in recent years than use Of rail
transport, and as they have reached the point where
regulation is essential to systematic development.

BLAZING A
By Charles P. Driseon

Let US not worry about the motives Of ~aviators who
are blazing trails this season. There are always those
in the audience who are prone to say, Eyes, but he's
doing it for money. She's doing it 10 show off. He's
not working in the interest of science. She's not IN
selfish in her flying"
Such conversation shows a lack Of perspective. OF
course there must be a motive behind heroic action,
and il must be a motive strong enough 10 prompt the
heroism. Such a motive, for instance, as a desire for
fame, a thirst for adventure, a need Of money, or what
one might call the urge for a career. But none q
these motives is ignoble. II the deed itself is good,
any one Of these motives is plenty good enough to
match il.
As to "the interest Of science that is, by and large,
not exactly bologna, but certainly some sort Of liver
wurst, at the very best, wherever it is used as a smoke
screen for some other motive that is perfectly respect
able in itself. We, as a people, are 50 sentimental

might make a good living if I should survive" or II

One does not 90 out and climb into an airplane and
sail out over the ocean "n the interest OF science"
And besides, what do you mean by "the interest Of
science" You can't catch any strange bats or horned
owls while flying through cold atmosphere. What you
can do. if the motor works we'll, is get half way around
the world, or make it to some island that nobody else
has ever flown to. Well, that's objective enough for
the present Then, when you get back home, you may
be able to get lecture engagements, writing contracts
or other employment that will assure you a comfort
able income for life That's a good enough reason
for risking your life. People have risked their lives for
less these many centuries.

prairies to California in covered wagons, and they

tives. They hoped to find gold. With this gold they

tive as "the interest Of science Certainly it is more

Engineers VS.. Diplomats

The report CONES from FL Paso that the interna-
tional boundary commission has definitely settled AL
disputes in reference to boundary claims, some Of which
have been pending nearly forty years. Titles 10 sew
eral thousand acres on the lower Rio Grande in Starr,
Hidalgo and Cameron counties and in the state Of Ia
maulipas, Mexico. have been determined. and for the
first time in half a century boundary disputes have
ceased to exist On the lower Rio Grande.
One Of the most significant facts in connection with
the work accomplished by the international boundary
commission Is that It il composed entirely OF enginee. y.
The Mexican section comprises some Of the most noted
engineers Of the southern republic and the American
section is composed Of engineers who rank equally high
in their profession.
It il safe to predict that If the boundary commits
sion were composed Of diplomats or politicians few Of
the boundary claims would be settled. The present
commissioners undertook the work upon the same basis
as they would approach an engineering problem-to
ascertain the facts and base their decision thereon.
There was no hue and cry raised. They made their
surveys, ascertained the various changes in the Rio
Grande and then announced their decisions in the va
rious tracts under consideration. There was no fric-
tion. The engineers had an engineering problem to
solve, and they solved it.
Il is a matter Of considerable satisfaction to the
American people, and doubtless equally satisfying ID
Mexico, to note that we have at least one international
body which can accomplish its work without arousing
international friction. There has been no political
"jockeying" or trading" in connection with the com
MISSIONS work. The commission. every man trained to
deal with facts as ne found them, has performed a
notable service for both republics. and the residents
on both sides Of the border stream are fully apprecia-
tive Of this, notwithstanding the work has been accom-
>lished without the verbal pyrotechnics which diplo-
mats and politicians would consider a necessary td-
Sunct ~ such services.

acres worth 500 or $3.50 an acre. Neither can large
scale production Of the kind that is now lauded to the
skies.
Converting the business Of farming TO a large-scale
enterprise would necessarily involve abandonment Of
the sinele-family farm, the social advantages Of which
are entirely clear, whatever may be said Of i on the
economic side. It would lead also to increased tenan-
cy, which agricultural economists generally regard as
undesirable, and to large landed estates with absentee
ownership, also regarded with disfavor.
Thus much of what might be gained on the other
side Of increased efficiency might be lost through
changes in organization that would necessarily come a.
the same time.

A most cursory survey Of the university Libraries and
museums in the United States shows that we have
here many priceless collections Of manuscripts, books,
gems, coins, pottery and other material 10 give reality
and directness TO the teaching Of social sciences, lit
erature and languages. Endowment funds enable many
Of these to keep field workers constantly exploring for
and gathering additional data and material ilustra-
tive OF other civilizations.
The Haskell Oriental museum at the University Of
Chicago has a collection Of over $4,000 objects to ex-
hibit as Systematically as possible the early civiliza-
tions Of the Near Orient.

The many extra-curricular avenues, still closely con-
nected with the education systems, for intellectual co-
operation among nations, present a wonderful variety
and extent OF international contacts that have grown
up in recent decades. Their chief Characteristic is that
they are not essentially an exotic, forced growth, but
have developed 50 naturally and esaily that they have
attained much strength without attracting any great
amount Of public attention.
Science knows no national boundaries. No one
country, but the entire world, owes a debt to such men
as Pasteur, Lister, Walter Reed, Edison, Maroon.
Noguclu, the Wright brothers and other men and wom-
en- who have contributed immeasurably to the advance
Of civilization. The national academies Of science main
tanned by most Of the countries Of the world have
among themselves a strong bond Of fellowship that 90
htical disagreements among nations have for the most
part, failed TO weaken or break.
Many Of our school texts in science include enough
Of the history of scientific advance to give proper rec
ignition to the scientists Of other countries and ~
their achievements. At the centenary celebration Of
Franklin institute in Philadelphia a few years ago. the
leaders Of scientific thought assembled from many
countries to confer for a week, and to pay tribute to
an institution that had been a leader for a century III

L~ARGE-SCALE FARMING
(Cleveland PAN Dealer).

Since the farm problem became acute with the de-
flation Of produce prices at the close of the war, no
ed Of remedies have been suggested for relief. First
the tariff, then price-fixing more or less Of the Nc
type. In the last year or two, with
large-scale production and distribution becoming more
widespread, it has been suggested that the solution &c
the farm problem might also be found in farm mergers
and large-scale management.
A considerable acreage has been purchased in Iowa
n the last year BY a large corporation with that
troueht in view. Thomas d. Campbell, already a
la-ge-scale farmer in North Dakota, writes in the Mag
azine Of Business that agricultures salvation is to be
worked out BY the engineer and the industrial chemist;
