mits for contract carriers, and licenses
for brokers must be obtained In
order to start In business. The COM
mon or contract carriers In business
in June or July, 1895, receive per-
mission to engage in business rs
matter Of right. Rate regulation Is
provided In different degrees for
different classes Of carriers.
Merger, consultations end security
issues Of large motor operators must
be approved by the commission. No
such requirement Is imposed upon the
small operator, the combination OF
no more than 20 vehicles and the is
| suance Of new securities by those
whose securities do not or will not
exceed one-half o million dollars be-
ing exempt.
The major features of this regula-
ton are to be administered under
direction Of the commission by joint
boards consisting Of q member from
each State In which the carrier Is
in operation, or In which operation
Is proposed to take place. This ad-
ministrative machinery Is 50 designed
that the motor vehicle operators,
scattered throughout the country.
! may have their business with the
Interstate Commerce Commission
transacted close at home, without the
necessity of running to washington.
This will insure quicker action,
greater appreciation Of local condi-
tions and closer cooperation between
the Federal and State regulatory
commissions.
Regulation of motor carriers In
varying degrees Is in effect in nearly
| all the States, growing from rela-
lively minor beginnings until 1t now
embraces common carriers Of pas
sengers of n States and the Dis
Of Columbia. common carriers Of
property in AZ States and the Dis
trict Of Columbia, contract carriers
OF property In 81 States, and private
carriers of property In States. The
urged Congress to enact this Federal
regulation to stop the gaps" In State
regulation, and TO enable them more
effectively to regulate the motor car
rier industry in the States. The prac-
tically unrestrained use Of State
highways by interstate motor carriers
has long been q serious handicap TO
the successful administration OF these
State regulatory laws. The only reg
ulation Of interstate motor transpor-
tation was that In effect under the
national recovery act and the sew
eral codes touching the motor car
rier industry.
| Relaxation Sought
The for-hire carriers generally
conceded the need for some public
regulation. The railroads sought re-
taxation Of their regulation. but
mainly because their competitors were
unregulated. They conceded the ne
cessity in their own interest and that
Of the public for preserving in es-
sence the present Federal regulation
Of railroads. Those who opposed the
regulation Of the motor carrier in
dustry at all did 80 mainly in the
fear that the Interstate Commerce
Commission was railroad minded, and
would administer the motor carrier
regulation in the interest Of the
railroads.
The committees of the Congress
and the Congress itself wrote into tn,
declaration OF policy and into tn.

commission to administer the regu-
lation to the end that it was de-
signed. that is. in the interest of the

uting system often may be mistaken
for underconsumption, and 1t Il one
of the prime objects Of the new trans
portation legislation to provide Ameri-
ca with q sound, stable, ef1icient and
economical system of distribution for
all its commerce, to the end that
commodities produced In one part OF
the country may be able to reach
another part Of the country where
they may be needed and at the low
est possible compensation charge. We
in this country are as yet far away
from q transportation system which
makes possible the distribution OF
farm products from the West and
South to the industrial East at q
cost where the products may be sold
at a price low enough to create q
demand.
To all of you listening In who
work for motor carriers, or who use
the highways In your own vehicles,
I call attention to the fact that the
law carries provision for regulating
qualifications and hours Of service
OF employees and safety Of opera
ton of all classes Of interstate motor
carriers.
Hours and Qualifications.
The act contemplates q study Of
the hours and qualifications Of truck
and bus drivers and Of the equipment
used on the highways-all in the
interest of promoting safety. In my
estimation, this Is one Of the most
important parts Of the act and !
hope that the commission will begin
this study Immediately. That Is q
matter that affects every one. We
all know the heavy toll Of life that
Is claimed annually because Of high
way accidents. Many Of these &C.
cidents are attributable TO the care
lesSneSs Of passenger car drivers, but
no doubt many Of them are charge
able to the commercial operator. ]
believe that the UNIT operators, the
irresponsible operators, even among
the pleasure car drivers, must be
eliminated from our highways.
The commission Is authorized TO
establish, after completion Of that in
vestigation, reasonable requirements
to promote safety of operation, and
to that end prescribe qualifications,
maximum hours Of service of en-
ployes and standards Of equipment.
The hours OF service of railroad en-
ployes have been regulated by law
for ~ years. and such regulation has
had a most important effect on safety
Of travel by railroad. The regula-
ton of hours Of service Of bus and
truck operators Is far more impor-
tant from safety standpoint than
the regulation Of hours of service OF
railroad employees, because the danger
Is greater. As stated by Commissioner
Frank B. McManamy, in testifying
before the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee. locomotives and
cars will stay on the rails, and q
moments drowsiness or inattentior
on the part Of enginemen may not
result in an accident. With highway
trafhc 1t Is different, because the
vehicle must be guided by the opera
tor. At the present time, even the
slowest moving trucks are operated
at speeds Of a feet per second OF
greater, therefore two or three sec
onds drowsiness or inattention to duty
is almost certain to cause an &C.
cident"
In so far as for hire operators are
concerned, the basic principles OF
regulation under the law are that
certificates of public convenience and
necessity for common carriers, per.

MIR. Hoover's Suits

In his recent attack on New Deal
waste, Herbert Hoover was exceed
ingly critical of the three and one
half billion dollar federal deficit
all of which, incidentally, is incur
red to relieve the distress of the
American people.
| Three and one-half billions, Mr.
| Hoover said was a sum so vast that
he could hardly comprehend" it.
But he did know it was enough to
| ''buy me 90,000,O0O suits of clothes.
At least that is about one suit for
every mile between the earth and
| the SUM-"
Thumbing through the AS in an
encyclopedia, we encounter an item
headed american Commission for
Relief in acknowledgment Hoov-
er, administrator-and we read that
this organization early in the World
| war, before Americas entry there
in--fed and otherwise cared for ten
million Belgians and Frenchmen
| who were in dire want because of
the German armys occupation,
spending approximately $780,
100000.
Anu dA itCm ACdQCu AuuCI lCdu
Relief Administration" - Herbert
Hoover, administrator-whic right
after the war fed even a greater
number Of starving Russians, Firms,
Estonians, Latvians, Roumanians,
Yugo-Slavs, Czecho-Slavs, Austrians
and Hungarians, spending approxi-
mately 1,0O0,00O,0O0
And we check the records of the
| U. S. governments income and ex-
penditures for the last three years
budgeted while Herbert Hoover was
| in the White House, and find that
those years showed deficits respec-
lively of $463,OOO,00O and s2,-
TAI, 100000 and s2,607, 7,000,-
000
Adding what Mr.. Hoover spent to
relieve distress in Europe to Mr..
Hoover's deficits which were incur
red with his administration spend
ing hardly anything to relieve the
distress, we arrive at the grand to-
tai Of $8,311, 100000 on this side of
the water.
Of course that sum is so vast that
Mr.. Hoover probably can't com
prehend" it-although he did spend
it. But he's good at figures. So
we suggest that he get out his com
mon denominator-the suit of
clothes-and tell us how many blue
serge, double-breasted models S.
81. 100000 would buy him, and to
which star they would reach if
spaced through the stratosphere,
zone suit for every mile ''-Cincin-
