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. r. Russell, vice president Of the New
York, New Haven & 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 19 Class l rail
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 az 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 Fit 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
az 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 Of other than practical! oP-
Grating men.
That the Parker bill, upon which congress will take
action at the next session, does not meet the sitEa-
tion is generally contended by bus and truck operators
as well as rail men, and they will join in opposing il.
But Il a measure, framed by practical operators ard
designed to give both rail and truck lines a Square
deal" is presented in the next congress it will receive
the endorsement and cooperation Of all interests.
That bus and truck lines should be regulated upon
much the same basis a. rail lines is generally conceded.
The use OF these methods Of 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.

Engineers VS.. Diplomats

The report come from I'll Paso that the interna-
tional boundary commission has definitely settled all
disputes IN reference to boundary claims, some Of which
have been pending nearly forty years. Titles TO sew
eraI thousand acres ~ 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 u exist on the lower Rio Grandc.
One Of the most significant facts in connection with
the work accomplished BY the international boundary
commission is that it is composed entirely Of enginee =.
The Mexican section comprises some az the most noted
engineers OF the southern republic and the American
section Is composed Of engineers who rank equally high
in their profession.
1t il safe to predict that if the boundary commits
sion were composed Of diplomats or politicians few o:
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-
ton. The engineers had an engineering problem 70
solve, and they solved it.
1t il a matter Of considerable satisfaction 10 the
American people, and doubtless equally satisfying 70
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 he 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 Id-
iunct to such services.

Converting the business Of farming to a large-seale
enterprise would necessarily involve abandonment Of
the single-family farm, the social advantages of which
are entirely clear, whatever may be said Of it on the
economic side. 1t would lead also to increased tenah-
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.

A most cursory survey Of the university Libraries and

here many priceless collections Of manuscripts, books,
gems, coins, pottery and other material to give reality
and directness to the teaching Of social sciences, lit

Of these to keep field workers constantly exploring for
and gathering additional data and material i~llustra-

The World and All
BLAZING TRAILS
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, "Yes, but he's
doing it for money. She's doing it to 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 it must be a motive strong enough to 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 OF
these motives is ignoble. Il 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 so sentimental
that one dare not say, Il flew to the moon 50 that /
might make a good living if / should survive" or Il
flew across five oceans and four continents 50 As 70
carve out a career for myself and make my name
glorious"
One does not go out and climb into an airplane and
sail out over the ocean Gin 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 well, 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
Il present lhen, Nheh ~ get bdSh hoiles 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 q good enough reason
for risking your life. People have risked their lives for
less these many centuries.
Trail blazers Of the old days went out across the
prairies to California in covered wagons, and they
never though it necessary to apologize for their mo-
tiyes. They hoped to find gold. With this gold they
hoped 10 support themselves and their families, If any,
for many years. Fine! I think that's as noble a mo-
tive as "the interest Of science" Certainly ID Is more
definite and understandable.
These fliers who venture out over the trackless
oceans, meeting their great adventures with brave
smiles, are entitled to as much praise and glory az
ever was given to any trail blazers in history. l want
to hear one Of them stand UP in public and say, why
did / fly? Why, to make a living, a fortune if posi-
bic, and establish a career for myself"
Whoever gives that as a reason doesn't need any
