FAIR REGULATIONS
FOR BUSES ASKED
President of National Asso-
citation Urges Development
in Public Interest.

With $4,000 communities in the
United States without rail service and
one-third of the total population de-
pendent upon public motor carriers for
their highway transportation, regula-
ton of interstate bus lines is essential
to the development OF an orderly and
dependable service.
This statement was made last week
by Arthur NJ Hill of Charleston
w. Va, president of the National As
sociation of Motor Bus Operators, be-
fore the Senate Committee on Inter-
state Commerce. which is now engaged
in drafting legislation designed to reg
ulate anterstate bus operations.
Sounds Warning.
Mr.. Hill sounded the warning that
bus transportation will terminate II
Congress attempts to indirectly tax
busses in the form OF restrictions that
would mean prohibitive operating costs
Expressing sympathy with the efforts
OF the railroads TO solve their own
problems. Mr.. Hill said. however, we
do object to the efforts of many of
the rail interests, In their attempted
solution OF their problems, to load
upon the motor industry, through
legislation. onerous burdens, without
any regard for the need therefor. as
far as the public Is concerned, or with
out any thought to the effect on the
public Of the costs they would so
artif1cially increase"
In testimony that bristled with
facts, the president of the Bus Asso-
citation cited the importance of the
bus industry in appealing to Congress
to help it serve the public by elm
mating unhealthy conditions. He said:
During the year 1880 there were
few more than $4,000 busses engaged
in the common carriage of persons in
both city and intercity service. OF the
total, $4,000 were engaged in intercity
service and of these. according to
actual census, at least 5000 were in
the touring or average passenger car
class. These 80 500 buSSes carried ap-
proximately 504 900 900 passengers and
collected some $3.50, 900 in fares"
Quotes i. c. C. Figures.
With reference to the effect. the
growth of bus transportation has had
on the railroads, Mr. Hill quoted fig
ureS of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in citing that from 1921 to
1929 the number of rail passengers
decreased from 1861. l3l 900 to 787.-
O32 000-a loss OF 274,098,000 passen
gers. He continued:
According to most railroad econ
Omists. only between 10 and rs per
cent OF this loss can be attributed to
the motor bus, the balance OF the loss
being due to privately owned passenger
cars Assuming that the loss to the
motor bus did amount to the maximum
generally estimated, 25 per cent, it
would seem that only 68,524 900 OF the
total of 504 900 900 passengers carried
between cities by motor bus could be
considered as ex-rail passengers, the
435.476,000 representing traf-
tic developed purely by bus facilities
from people who either never travelled
before or who, prior to the inausura-
tion OF bus service. used other means
OF highway transport. The bus has
created most OF the traffic 1t Is car

DETROIT. April 2.-Seven out Of
every ten automobiles now sold in
America are low-priced cars, according
to a recent survey. For the last three
days Detroit has begun to realize Just
what this means, and with the rest of
the country during the coming weeks
this city will learn even more about
what it means and the changes it has
brought.
An Armageddon Fight.
In the low-priced field an Armaged-
don fight is on to determine the sur
vival of the fittest. 1t is the culmina-
ton of more than three years during
which the big producers have been
striving to outdo each other by giving
more car for less money.
The contest is three-cornered. with
Ford, General Motors and Chrysler W.
ing for proportionate shares of the
available business. With the Ford an
nouncement made, Nationwide curios-
ity has been relieved The other makers
welcome an end to the uncertainty and
the chance for open-field competition
The new set-up. with changes in the
last few days, discloSeS high lights of
interest. Ford's va introduction for
the first time brings into the low priced
division and the $500 range a car with
eight cylinders in the V-shaped ar
rangement. The V-type engine prin-
ciple, as previously built and sold at
higher prices, has been conceded an
edge for smoothness and silent opera
ton. Some straight-eight engines have
been built for which the claim was
made that they equaled V-type in these
respects. but none has ever been claimed
to excel it.
Less Expensive.
The straight eight, on the other side
OF the argument, has been less expen-
sive to build; it is simpler than V-type
in operation and less difficult to repair
For high-speed work it has advantages
that have been demonstrated on the
speedways and the highways, too.
AS between the four cylinder and six
cylinder engine types, the latter is con-
ceded to possess what engineers call
inherent balance" which for Chevro-
let represents three years of refinement
since first brought out by General
Motors. Its performance with existing
freedom from vibration is a known
quantity
Engine power and it's application in
varying capacity always has been de-
batable question among those who drive
cars. For simplicity and low cost, the
four -cylinder cars have been in a class

With the formal opening of the
George Washington Bicentennial year,
attention has been focused by visiting
motorists from all sections of the coun-
try upon the Washington Tourist
Camp.
East Potomac Park, always beautiful,
is, by reason of its central location
within the renowned system of public
parks and grounds of the National
Capital, an Ideal spot for this camp
1t is Of especial interest to Washing
tonians as well as to the thousands Of
motorists who avail themselves of the
opportunity of visiting the seat of Gov
ernment. This camp, unique little
city. is one of the largest, If not the
largest, OF its kind in the country. 1t
is owned and operated by the Welfare
and Recreational Association of the
once of the Public Buildings and
Grounds, and is under the immediate
control and supervision Of Lieut.. Col.
Ulysses S. Grant, Sd.
Steady Increase Shown.
The continued and steady increase
each year in the number of tourists to
Washington became SO great that it
was q matter of national obligation to
provide camping equipment and other
adequate accommodations to those
travelling by automobile. Consequently,
on May 81, 1921, the Washington
Tourist Camp was authorized by act of
Congress. and during the past IL years
it has grown from a mere camping
ground to a large institution. 1t has
won the approval and acclaim Of all
who have heretofore had the privilege
Of occupying its comfortable quarters.
Every year incident to the conclusion
of Lent the armada of tourists begins
to fill the camp. They come Mt this
time Of the year in order that they
may enjoy the delicate beauty of the
famous cherry blossoms. Nature hangs
her art gallery along the gloriously
stretched banks of the historic Potomac
and the Tidal Basin with this elegant
display Of blossoms when the Japanese
cherry trees, like beautiful pink clouds,
unfurl their picturesque tri-colored
blooms reminiscent Of faraway Nagaski,
Japan's most renowned blossom city"
This spectacular scene watts yearly
invitation to the early group OF nomads
Need for Recreation.
Realizing the need for recreation for
its great number of temporary occu-
pants, the camp officials selected un-
queStlonaoIy the most picturesque spot
OF Potomac Park. inasmuch as 1t is
within walking distance of the many
nearby places of interest and the bust
ness section OF Washington. Golf links,
tennis courts, miniature golf courses,
steamboat rides on the Potomac. base
ball games, fishing facilities, polo games,
concerts by the famous service bands

RESENTMENT SEEN
AGAINST TAX TREND
Public Feeling Growing Over
Pyramiding on Autos,
Says A. A. A.

The American Automobile Association
declared recently that injection of high
motor taxation into the political cam
psigns Of widely separated States is in
dicative of growing public resentment
against the pyramiding of motor levies
and the singing out of car owners for
taxes to be used for other than road
building purposes
The statement by the national motor
ing body, issued under the signature of
Thomas p Henry of Detroit, its presi-
dent, pointed out that high gasoline
taxes and proposals to divert receipts
from motor levies to general purposes
are important political issues in at least
two States, namely, Florida and Ohio.
500 Decline Shown.
A decline of 30 per cent in the num-
Der of cars registered in Tennessee in
January, 1882. as compared to a year
ago, largely attributed to the boost in
the gasoline tax to 7 cents a gallon and
the imposition of an extra fee Of 81, as
we'll as experiment of Arkansas in SELL
ing licenses on a three months basis

in an effort to keep usable cars on the
highways were also cited by Mr.. Henry
as more evidence of the unhealthy in
fluence of excessive motor taxes
There is no doubt" said the A. A. A.
executive, that motorists, comprising
by far our largest class of citizens, are
ready to express their resentment
against unfair levies through the medi-
UNI of the ballot box. Candidates for
public Office in many sections have been
quick to sense this situation and are
more and more taking up the cause of
the car owners.
Fight On in Florida.
"In Florida, J. Tom Watson, Tampa
attorney, is making the fight against
the 7-cent gasoline tax one of the major
issues in his campaign for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor. He
points out that he opposed this tax
while serving in the Legislature and
announces that he has evolved a plan
whereby the 7-cent rate can, and should
be, reduced to cents a gallon.
I'm Ohio. David z. ingalls, of Cleve-
land, Assistant Secretary of the Navy
for Aeronautics and a candidate for
Governor of his State, has declared
himself to be unalterably opposed to di-
version Of any moneys arising from mo-
tor taxes to any other purpose than that

Night Operation.

Thousands of motorists have
experienced the sensation of hav-
ing their cars run better at night
than during the day, and have
wondered accordingly if the car
really operated better or if it was
only a halucination. This queS-
ton was put recently to engineers
and they assure motorists that
improved car performance at
night often is a fact, and they
explain the reasons why this is so
"A noticeable improvement in
car performance at night usually
occurs when the day has been hot
or Sultry and there is a material
drop in temperature at night, :"
explain the engineers. This i'm
provement Is due TO the change
In atmospheric conditions.
AN internal combustion engine
gives better performance when
the gas mixture Is under high
compreSSion-that Is, providing
the compression has not been
raised to a point where detona-
ton viii occur. The denSer, or
more compressed, the gas charge
is the greater expansion it will
have when it is fired.
Air naturally becomes heavier
and more dense when cold. ex-
panding when hot. At 70 degrees
temperature a pound OF air will
occupy 1874 cubic feet OF space
while at 80 degrees it will only
occupy l2.4 cubic feet. Therefore
larger and heavier charge of gas
mixture can be drawn into an en-
gine cylinder when the air Is cool
Another contributing cause of
improved engine performance at
night is the fact that night air
usually is damper than during the
day, and the fine particles of moiS-
ture contained in it slightly slows
the rate at which the fuel burns"
