REGULATE BUSES
Propose to Delegate I. C. C.
Authority Over Interstate

WASHINGTON.- (Special)
National leaders here, men in and
out of Congress, are giving serious
consideration to a plan advanced
by the American Automobile As
sociation -whereby Federal author
ity -would be conferred upon the
state governments to regulate" the
huge and rapidly expanding- inter
state motor bus traffic. .
The plan, which was submitted
by the Motor. Bus Division of the
A. AJ A., at tho Interstate Com
merce Commission' bearing which
has Just closed here, admittedly is
a departure from the ordinary line
drawn between national and state
regulatory systems, but Is believed
by leading lawyers, members of
Congress and , others who have
studied it to be well with In the
limits of the Constitution. They
agree that it undoubtedly would
provide much needed regulation in
a field left devoid of governmental
supervision for nearly two years.
' At the Interstate Commerce
Commission's hearing, the A. A. A.
Motor Bus Division, which Is the
national organization of stage bus
associations, submitted a proposed
bill which. If enacted, would dele
Kate to commissions of the various
states the , Federal authority to
regulate passenger bus service
lines operating in Interstate com
merce. Such a law would ' set a
. precedent in the history of Ameri
can transportation legislation,
since it would give to every state
powers heretofore donfined to the
national government. However,
to make it constitutional,, the Mo
tor Bus Division proposes that In
application of the law, the
Interstate Commerce Commission
would retain' final authority; and
that it would constitute an appeal
court In cases brought up from the
atate.commisslons.
The proposal -was submitted
', after eighteen months of careful
study by the legislative committee
of the Motor Bus Division, and Is
certain to beJ an effective means
of eliminating: the chaos resulting
, from the lack, of supervision, the
Commission was told. This lack
of supervision has obtained ever
since the United States Supreme
v Court ruled a year and a half ago
that states could neither grant nor
refuse a "license of convenience
and necessity" to interstate bus
companies, thus declaring the field
anbtan one.
That the A. A. A. proposal will
be given careful consideration
wheni the Interstate Commerce
Commission makes up recom
mendations on has traffic is cer
tain. A series of. hearings held
throughout the nation during the
summer months developed that a
widespread demand for regulation
exists, opposition' being voiced is
only one instance. The A. A. A.
plan. It was brought but at the
hearing here, has the indorsement
of bus associations in 24 states, or
the greater number of organized
bus men in America.
. In its principle of, regulation,
the measure also is agreed to by
the railways and other factions In
terested, the only point of dispute
being la the 'details. In a former
measure drawn up months ago,
the same proposal in principle was
advanced. '.That this plan might
be amended so as to donform to
the 'needs of the bus "men, the
most vitally interested faction, the
Motor Bus Division undertook to
frame the new measure.

We have had too much dilly-daly-Ing
with this problem. The rail
roads cannot escape their respon
sibility in the matter and placards
nd posters for an educational
character are not enough. The
picture of a reckless driver trying
to beat a railroad train to a grade
crossing may be all very well .for
the comic strips, but as a 'matter
of fact, the number of people who
ry to beat the train is very' small
and the great majority ot the peo
ple who get nilled are simply
caught in a death trap. Our, ulti
mate aim must be to eliminate- the
grades, at least the most danger-
pus of them. - - - ;'-; "? -
"No one expects the--railroader-
to shoulder the entire cost, which
would be tremendous. The gen
eral public must doubtless be pre
pared to share a part of the bur
den. New York state has? set a
good example in the bond' issue
adopted for the' purpose of-doing
away with grades. We know that
.'total elimination-wilt take time.
But the great trouble at the mo
ment is that new grades are over
taking us at as great a rate as the
old ones are being removed.' We
are still in a vicious circle.' The
fact that it would require time
and. money is not an excuse for
failure to give the maximum pro
tection at the grades now existing
nor is it an excuse for the "crea
tion of additional dangerous
ones."

3 How it has been reconditioned
Many used car buyers know this an3 take advantage of it. That is why we have
so many satisfied owners.

Packard has paid the price of
supremacy in this field through
twenty-six years of pioneer work
over a quarter of a century de
voted to the developmept of spe
cialized knowledge experienced
skill, perfected facHities.-
And Packard power has been
proven supreme wherever motors
vie in moving men through the
air, over the road, or on the water.
At the recent National Air Races,
planes powered .with , Packard
engines won bpth the free-for-all
Military Pursuit Ship Race with
a speed of more than J.80 , miles
an hour and the Trophy Race
for light bombing planes at a
speed above 123 miles an hour.
Racing boats equipped with
Packaid engines again this year
won the Gold Cup Race and the
Sweepstakes Race, the two great
annual marine classics. ,
The new Packard cars, both She
and Eight, are establishing undis-;
puted leadership on boulevard and

improved Packard motors in these
fine cars give a range of perform-
ance hitherto unknown. '
