TOO HIGH TRUCK RATE
WARNING Is SOUNDED

Industry, Commission Told.

high will force private shippers to
buy their own trucks, will destroy
the trucking industry. and not bene-
fit railroads, the public service COM
mission was warned today by H. A
Hollopeter, Terre Haute Chamber of
Commerce traffic manager.
Hollopeter appeared today as a
witness in the commissions hearing
to determine a basis for standard

will give the short haul business to
trucking lines. and long haul freight
TO railroads. suggesting that rates
based on operating costs be fixed for
truck lines Tor distances up TO $50
miles, with higher rates effective for
shipments over $50 miles.
Previously. railroad representa-
tives had proposed that the stand
ard trucking rate be based on exist
ing railroad tariffs.

we're hopeful Mr.. Hoover will CO.
operate and voluntarily accept the
subpoena once before. the former
President was requested TO appear.
but officials received no reply to
their letter. inviting him to testify.
Decision to subpoena the former
President came as a result of re-
peated testimony of Senator James
Couzens. now concluding a three
day appearance before the grand
jury. that banks throughout the
country were permitted TO operate
in technical violation Of law be-
cause of the attitude of the Hoover
administration.
Just Around the Corner"
Originally. Couzens charged that
the persistent belief of every one
connected with the Hoover admins
tration that prosperity was Just
around the corner" led them to per-
NIT banks to operate against the
letter of the law.
Tuesday. he charged that if the
government had forced the First
National bank to write of the loans
federal bank examiners listed as
losses in May. 1882. the bank would
have been "hopelessly inSolvent."
However. you must remember
there was a political campaign in
progress. he added.

Senator Couzens was to be sub
jected to further questioning by At

GIVE MINING ITS CHANCE

After years spent in the deep
est sort Of doldrums, the metal
mining industry of the West is
beginning to feel the surge of
life once more.
Prices for metals, ia most in

rises. Better yet. they have
maintained the higher levels.
Demand, long lethargic, is bet
ter.
This is a good time to point
out to the people of the mining
states that the future Of the in.
dustry is going to be vitality
affected by legislative policies.
Even present higher prices per

taxes, can easily wipe out any
