Back it comes to me, that
Sunday so long ago when I
first asked that question. A
stuffy country church, a little
girl wriggling on the edge of
hard pew, an old gentleman
in the pulpit, scolding an
Adam and Eve for eating that
original apple. I could not un-
destand why he scolded. I,
too, would have eaten that ap-

They insisted on asking ques-

Regulation of Taxis
In Washington
Editor, Times.

Editor, Times:
What constitutes public
utility, subject to Utility Com
mission regulation? About IS
years ago the courts here de-
cided-in a suit involving the
Terminal Taxi and the Utility
Commission - that the taxi
companies having a monopoly
at the Union Station and the
hotels were subject to regula-
ton in the transaction of
business on those concessions.
The courts decided, however,
that their other business, in
cluding phone calls, for in
stance, was not subject to the
regulation of the Utility Com
mission.
Now the people who own
monopolies, and therefore would
come within the scope of the
above decision, go before a Sen
ate committee wanting those
who possess no monopolies,
regulated by the commission
but claiming exemption them
selves.
Taxicabs are the nearest
thing to competition that a
car company has to contend
with. Even so, there is so
much difference in the fares
charged that the taxicab is little
enough competition. There
should be no connection be-
tween cab operators and car
companies, if the public is to
get anything like square deal.
The idea of utility commits
sions was originated as control
of corporations. All-or nearly
all-utiIity corporations, have
monopolies at hotels, railroad
stations, franchises granting
special privileges, etc. The in
dependents possess none of these
privileges, and for these and
other reasons, have always held
that an independent doing his
own driving, was not a public
utility. Being excluded from

The provisions of the taxicab

of it's advocates, aim to set aside
these balancing advantages,
which the independent has.

mittee's record on S. 3615-the
independent has had but one
weapon to use against monopoly

Says a Real Liberal
Has a Tough Time

EdttOr, Ihe IlmeS.
The declaration of Mr.. Jouett
ShouSe, executive chairman of
the Democratic national COM
mittee, that that party now
favors a protective tariff on a
scientific basis" may be alb
Surd, but it points to very
significant fact. 1t gives still
further proof that there is no
essential difference between the
two major parties today. Both
are now the complete tools of
the big business interests and
there is no real party of oppo-
Sition. The liberal socially
minded citizens have really no
place to cast their ballot, and
it is high time they insisted
on such place. The political
health of our country de-
mands it.
Now, at a time when thou
sands in our country are Starv-
ing, our Farm Board buys up
and stores away millions of
bushels of wheat and there's
no protest. Now. when the
whole peace movement de-
mandS our adherence to the
World Court, the Senate shelves
it for another year and there
is no party of opposition. Now,
when the whole world is Suf-
fering from an economic de-
preston largely due to the
economic barriers in the form
of tariffs which make the
smooth flow of trade impoS-
sible, the Democrats yield their
last distinction from the Re
publicans and there is no pos
Sible expression for the thou
sands of citizens who recognize
the great need for a decrease
in rates.
1t is high time these liberals
turned en- masSe to the third
party movement led by the
League for Independent Polit-
ical Action and insisted on a
voice in the affairs of our
nation. / wonder if they will.
