REPORT OF EXAMINER
SURE TO BE OPPOSED
Commission Action Likely to Be
Necessary After Proposed
Decision Is Offered.

Preparing to define the "metropoli-
tan area" of Washington for admins
tration of the motor carrier act, the
Interstate Commerce Commission to-
day called a hearing here January 81.
The proceeding will determine what
bus and truck operation between
Washington and nearby Maryland and
Virginia Is to be covered by that Sec
ton of the act which, under certain
conditions, exempts motor carriers
crossing State boundaries from all but
its safety and hours-of-service pro-
visions.
This exemption eliminates the ne
cessity for common carriers to obtain
certificates Of convenience and neces-
sity for contract carriers to obtain
permits from the commission.
Section Defines Exemption.
The section in question defines the
exemptions as the transportation Of
passengers or property in interstate or
foreign commerce wholly within q
municipality or between contiguous
municipalities or within q zone ad-
jacent to and commercially part of
any such municipality or municipali-
ties except when such transportation
Is under q common control, manage
ment or arrangement for a continuous
carriage or shipment to or from a
point without such municipality, mu-
inequalities or zone"
Because Of the many factors in
volved. the hearing will be Of wide
interest. bringing in not only the high
way carriers, but also the railroads,
which have q stake in the proceedings
from a transportation standpoint. and
the shippers. 1t may last several days.
Thus far, similar hearings have been
held only for four areas-New York.
Chicago, st. Louis and Los Angeles
and in none has the commission
handed down q decision. In conse-
quence, there has as yet been no indi-
cation Of what it believes q metro
politan area" might properly include.
Coyle to Preside.
The hearing will start at 10 am.
and will be conducted by Examiner
Paul Coyle. At its conclusion the ex-
aminer will issue . proposed report
and If there are no exceptions within
20 days 1t will be entered as an order
of the commission. In . case such as
this. however, there inevitably will be
dissents from the examiners report,
and under that condition the COM
mission will take over and decide what
the order shall be.
The commission is now notifying all
interested parties to the proceedings.

They said he had suffered no set

State Capitol News
BY A. l. HARRIS

Just before his departure for Ro-
ton which will keep him confined
for two weeks, Governor Olson let
it be known that plans for his much
talked of debate with Governor Tai
madge of Georgia have virtually been
completed.
The Governor said that the debate,
in all likelihood, will be held in Mad
ison Square Garden the early part
of February. The subject, of course,
will be the dangers to the Constitu-
tion from the courts. Governor Olson
maintains that the courts have done
more to destroy the Constitution than
any other single agency, or even all
other outside agencies combined.
The Governor expects the special
session of the Legislature to end the
latter part of January. by which time
he will fully have regained his
health. Incidentally, the Governors
plans to proceed with the Talmadge
debate and go through with other
of his plans belle the vicious stories
appearing in the public press that
his operation was to remove malig-
nant tumor. Such is not the case.

The records of the cooperative
movement at the capitol disclose an
interesting story on the benefits of a
cooperative insurance organization.
Fifty years ago the Young America
Township Mutual Fire Insurance As
ISOLATION was set up with charges to
be made on the cost basis. The first
year a cabin burned and the members
had to dig down in their pockets to
pay $500 insurance. After that it was
decided to change from the cost basis
to a regular rate comparable with
that charged by the line insurance
companies. This was DONE And after
the initial payment, down to this day,
not another premium was needed from
the members. All were insured for
this period at the cost of single pay
ment.
