Prediction of Government

BY the Associated Press.


PITTSBURGH, October 23.-The pos.
sibility Of Government regulation OF In
terstate motor coach and truck trans
portation was the main point of dis
cuSsion yesterday at the opening ses-
sion Of the national transportation meet
ing Of the Society of Automotive Engi-
neers. The subject came up in connec-
ton with the Nationwide investigation
Of motor carriers to be undertaken next
month by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Fred c. Horner, New York, vice presi-
dent In charge Of transportation, said
that while Federal regulations appar-
emily met with the approval Of all
transportation interests, 1t was felt the
comparatively early stage Of the indus
try left many points of operation and
construction wide open.
1.-THE automotive vehicle owes its use
largely to its ability to go from door TO
door, whether 1t Is handling people or
packages" Horner said. "1t Is an init
mate vehicle, yet 1t Is In competition
with the more established form Of whole
sale transportation, such as trains and
trolleys. It must vindicate its position
and justify its public use"
He urged as the greatest aid to the
motor coach and truck industry the
more careful selection and training Of
men and cooperation with manufac-
turers to bring about safety features
with greater efficiency in commercial
vehicles.

In an endeavor to bring out the

countries surrounding Marion coun-
ty and the winners in this district

contest to be held at a local theater.
Winners in this district will be en-
titled to enter the state finals to

Columbus, Muncie, TT. Wayne,
South Bend, Gary, Logansport and
Richmond have been selected as
tentative contest centerS and in
each case the surrounding counties

home, and his property from unlaw-
full invasion, from unlawful search,
from unlawful seizure The law
provides an orderly manner for
search and seizure. and prohibits all
others. This is the ruling used by
the local criminal courts and the
only rule used.
Our forefathers with clearnesS
of vision provided for a lawful search
and seizure and supported by oath
or information, describing the place
to be searched and the person or
things to be seized, and in the same
SETON safeguarded the rights of the
individual by inhibiting mreason-
able and unlawful search.
Would the mayor and board Of
safety ask or expect the courts to
follow these provisions, as they have
been sworn to do? No man can hide
and be secure by endeavoring,
through loose statements, to mis-
lead the people and place the bur-
den upo nthe courts. They have
burdens enough, and ought not to
assume the responsibility of be-
lieving everything told them by out
side hirelings, who even refuse to
give the address where they can be
found to be required to come into
court and face their accuser under
oath and when the case is called
for trial.
Reformers Are Hit
Has the time come in our repub-
lie, state or city government, that the
judges must be mere rubber stamps,
used to further the interests Of some
so-called reformer who oftentimeS
is not able to reform himself or his
own family and not even a taxpayer.
"On Page 326, Wallace VS.. State,
1919 Ind, the supreme court says:
The affidavit or the statement under
oath or affirmation, in support of
probable cause, must bear the coun-
tenance of truth, which is so in
fallible, that either an action for
damages, or a criminal charge of
perjury, may be legally predicated
thereon, if such statement is untrue
"All true Americans respect and
love our Constitution and appeal to

dividual may be secure in his per-
son, his home and his property.
stop! Stop! Think of the ter
rible- consequences if either or all
of these rights should be lost or
surrendered. The suffering Of the
days of Nero in Rome could not be
compared to what might happen to
us in this machine age.
This criticism of the mayor and
board of public safety is along the
same lines of the bondsmen and
police court lawyers who have been
made by me to follow the law, and
conduct themselves in a manner
that bespeaks respect for law, order

RICHMOND, Ind, Sept. 29.-The
city council is in complete control
of the affairs of Richmond follow
ing the action of the body in pass
ing over the mayors veto an ordi-
nance which abolished the board OF
public works.
The ordinance, first passed ten

but the council overhead the veto
by an II to vote.
The council charges that the
board failed to carry out recommen-

Accompanying the mayors veto
was a request for the council men,

to re-establish harmonious relations
without sacrificing the principles in
volved. This request was disregard
ed by council which met within a
few hours after a call for a special
session had been issued by some OF

The future policy to be followed
i'll connection with the municipal

lens confronting the city and in

the board of works had not had the
full cooperation of the plant SUI

Outside Plan Favored
Hess repeatedly has advocated
standby service with an outside

ice from an insult corporation re-
Gently was submitted to the council.
In an effort to learn the mayors
stand, the council voted S to 6 on
the measure, and in breaking the
tie, Harris voted against it. He de-
clared the proposal carried some alb
jectionable features and his vote
was not to be construed as placing
him on record against standby serv-
ice.
Control of the light plant was in
the hands of the board of works and
by abolishing that body, full con
troll will go to the council.
Despite the short notice given
large number Of persons crowded
the council chamber. and after the
meeting hundreds waited to shake
the hand of Frank Benn, the coun-
Gil member, voting against the ordi-
