The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1933-05-02

Airports should be "free" ports,
available to all complying with regula-
lions, he said, and comply with feder-
al regulations.
Describes Montana Laws
In describing the rapid growth of
airports throughout the northwest, he
described Montana laws governing
their institution.
Brittin suggested for consideration
that an effort be made to join these
northern states together in region
al organization, for the purpose of de-
veloping commercial air transporta-
ton.
Pointing to aviation's growth under
the regulation OF the federal depart
ment of commerce, Brittin called at
tention to another era of this develop
ment where air transport lines must
more or less develop self-sustaining
state-where the state will become
more active, and increasingly more
important in the matter of the de-
velopment Of physical facilities to aid
aviation"
The appropriations of the commerce
department have been seriously cur
tailed, he said.
If one state undertakes to develop
its intrastate air transportation facil-
tiles from an intrastate viewpoint, it
will be relatively ineffective. When
you can fly across one Of these states
In four hours, the state itself is not
logical unit from the standpoint of
any transportation system that
moves at 100 miles an hour.
II feel one of the great things which
could come out of this meeting would
be for we of these northern states to
form q regional association of per-
manent nature that would agree to
merge the interests of these states,
into q regional interest and strive for
the development of an air transpor-
tation system in that region and get
the ground facilities that are neces-
Sary.
! Must Look to Future
"The most important thing for us
to do" Sheriff told the conferees. "is
to try to estimte what the underlying
trends in aviation development may
be, so that we can anticipate, to some
extent, the nature of this new mode
of transportation, say 10 or 20 years
from now"
There is no vocation in the world
that deserves any higher form of
discipline than should be demanded
In the operations end of the aviation
game" he said.
The aviation industry, because OF
its responsibilities, Is systematically
cultiyating q sort Of distinctive pro
fessionaliSm."
Il know of no reason why tennis
court, amusement rooms, or even beer
gardens, II you wish, should not be
part of nearly every city airport OF
the future" he said.
He pointed to the motor noise pro-
blem as one of the most important
facing aviators today.
THE present shortage Of landing
fields presents greater shortcoming
in the industry than most people
realize" he said, land also the one
that can be most easily overcome"
A state regulatory body may be-
come IAN instrument of great good
in the encouragement Of aviation"
Brisbine said. 1T may, on the other
hand, become milestone OF reac-
tionary obstruction
Should Follow Trend
I'm many Of our states" he said.
programs Of direct encouragement OF
the art have been worked out. There
can be no doubt but that every state
should follow this trend. Strong and
healthy as civil aviation has become,
it still Is in its adolescent years. It
still Is young enough to merit wise
Unlimited bit OF paternal support.
1.-THE forms this support may take
are varied, including landing facilities,
airports, emergency fields, ETC.; navi-
cation facilities, markings OF towns
routes and distractions; and weather
service.
1T is my belief that state rsgula-
ton should be developed slowly"
HALEY said the general result or
effectiveness of regulation of any
business, be it federal or state, hinges
upon four factors: "The scope and
frequency of inspection; the degree
of authority vested in the inspectors;
the personnel Of the inspection de-
partment; and the degree OF cooper
alton between the inspector and the
inspected"

ing were Ralph Cram, Davenport,
