The Case of the Railroads

In a speech last week before the Northwest Shippers
Advisory board. William H. Bremner of Minneapolis out
lined the attitude Of the railroads In relation to bus and
pipeline competition, taxation and government regula-
ton. Mr.. Bremner may be said to be a "prejudiced wit
ness" but his testimony is 80 important that 1t merits
the attention Of every citizen who is interested in the
rapidly changing conditions of the transportation prob
lem.
Since the coming of the automobile this country has
been bisected by excellent arterial highways, and it was
only natural, says MI. Bremner. that American genius
should have turned these roads to q commercial use.
Beginning in a small way, the buses and truck have
rapidly multiplied until today whole fleets Of them are
in operation from one end Of the country to the other.
These vehicles. Bremner stated. have become a menace
to the financial stability OF the railroads. He voiced his
special grievance in these words:
These buses and trucks are operating over highways
constructed at public expense. The railroads must fur
nish their own highways. The busses and trucks are
operated over roadways that are maintained at public
expense. The railroads must maintain their own road
ways. In the majority Of states there is no regulation of
either bus or truck transportation; in others there is mild
regulation, and there is no regulation of interstate traf-
fic. In no state, so far as I know, are the bus and truck
companies called upon to contribute any substantial
amount towards the cost of these highways which they
use. or to contribute any substantial amount towards
the expense of maintenance; while, on the other hand,
the railroads. through taxation, contribute to both pur-
poses, thus being compelled to aid in substituting their
competitors"
MI Bremner pointed out that pipelines now under con-
struction would also take away from the rail carriers a
great deal of gasoline tonnage: but he expressed the
feeling that this was legitimate competition, inasnuch
as the pipelines were built by private capital.
While Mr.. Bremner made a good showing in his de-
mand for equality in law and regulation, he made his
argument less effective by making an attack on the gov
ernments policy of improving inland waterways. That
is something quite different from truck and bus COM
petition as it exists under present conditions of unequal
regulation. The rivers of the country are a great natural
resource which must and will be improved, as the country
grows in population and wealth; and it is only just that
the government should aid in this Development. as it did
in the development of railways in their pioneer stages
of construction.

the department of commerce, there
are many that go above and beyond
these requirements. which explains in
many instances the greater tuition
charges of some schools.
@. Please give some information
about the school built by the presi-
dent near his summer camping
place. v. M. A.
A. The President Herbert Hoover
Community school was built upon
privately owned land, which was do
mated for the purpose of erecting the
school. The money was given by
President Hoover and his friends. 1t
was equipped by MI. and Mrs. Hoover
with the money donated by them and
their friends. Twenty-Five students
are now enrolled in the school. Miss
Vest is the teacher in charge. It is
located at Criglersville, Virginia.
@. What is sage brush? T. D. H.
A. The term is loosely applied to
several kinds of closely related plants.
The west has the largest variety. 1t
ranges from 3 to S feet high and
in stream channels will grow as hign
as from S to 8 feet. The diameter
Of the shrub next to the ground is
sometimes from S to 6 inches, but
this is not like a tree trunk, but is
made of several branches clustered
together.
@. Where is the largest industrial
museum in the world? H. E.
A. The American Association of
Museums says that the Deutsches
Museum in Munich is the largest in
dustrial museum in the world, and
the second museum in this class is
probably the Science Museum IN
London. There are many industrial
museums in Europe, but few in this
country. Our largest is the Museum
of Science and Industry, Chicago, al
though we have a large commercial
museum at Philadelphia.
@. When was lustrous pottery
first made? E. r. S.
A. Vanished or lustrous pottery
was produced in Greece from about
the fifth to the third century B. G.
Instead of being covered with a true
glaze it possessed a lustrous surface,
the exact nature of which is not def
initely known. Glazed pottery was
produced In Egypt, Babylonia, Persia,
and the countries bordering the Med
i~terranean sea. Various methods
were employed in producing the sur-
face. In Spain the art of glazing
with glass was practiced to some
extent as early as the 18th century
having probably been introduced from
Persia. Lead-glazed pottery is pro-
duced in practically every country

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
To Eat or Not to Eat


Question: Mrs. H. L. writes: Il

largement. When my doctor x
amined me he said, I want you to
eat Il had been trying to eat less
and combine my foods more care
fully.) Another doctor advised me to
avoid full meals and eat five times
a day instead of three. All this being
SO contrary to your teachings, what
advice would you give?"
Answer: The second doctors adj
vice seems more sensible, but I do
not believe it is necessary to eat five
meals a day, as three small meals r
usually enough, providing the foods
are properly combined, and you elm
mate all those with a tendency to
produce excessive gas.
Rheumatism
Question: Mrs. l.. D. asks: What
would cause all my joints to swell
until I cannot get around? Have
been this way for three weeks. Am
so years old, and weigh 1875 pounds"
Answer: If all of your joints r
affected you are doubtless suffering
from some form of rheumatism. You
weigh too much for your age. If you
will take a diet to reduce your weight
to normal it will no doubt have a good
effect in getting rid of the rheuma-

is bothered with a strange empty
