Trucks and Busses
"DICTURES of a big oil truck astride a crushed auto bus
A project into public attention the problem of motor trucks
and busses operating on the highways. They bring to the
toregrounci also the Os west bill for regulation, of motor
trucks and ba sses. We need to break up the problem of these
vehicles into its various parts. As we see it there are three
important factors: 1st, the effect of these new machines on
transportation ; 2nd the effect of these larcra units uDon high
way costs; 3rd the effect on public safety and convenience
in tne use or highways.
BITS for BREAKFAST
Hen men, attention!
Respecting the first factor, effect urxn transDortation.
the plight of the railroads comes instanthr to mind. Not nil
their troubles are due to motor truck competition, but they
do have legitimate complaint asrainst miblie subsidy of com
peting lanes ootn tne highways and the waterways. The In

or the country because the securities . of the roads
are widely held, and to the trovernment which has used tha

To do the necessary job of legislating properly it seems
to us a' thorough study should be made by a body similar to
the Carkin tax commission of several years ago which laid
the framework for our reorganized tax system. Such a; group
may well be named by Governor Meier, including represen
tatives from the public utilities commission.'the highway de
partment, the motor transport division of the secretary of
state's" office and representatives from the railroads,, the
truck and bus lines, the users of transportation, and from the
general public.' If this group could formulate legislation and
submit it to the legislature or to the people it would have
better appeal than the West bill with its individual sponsor

der. the prorlsions of the flexible
clauses of the Hawley-Smoot tar
iff law, for better protection, and
that body, after making the lnres-
tlgation called for, recommended
to President Hoorer that the
charge be boosted to 17 cents a
poaad. and he la accordance with
the findings proclaimed the new
rate.
Of course this was against the
principles of recent monthlngs of
Roerelt, who has been spouting
against the Hawley-Smoot "iniqui
ty" and "ghastly Jest" and more
especially against the part of the
law placing in the hands of the
president the power to giro the
flnsl decision apon recommenda
tions of the bipartisan tariff com
misiion. Had Rooserelt been in
the White House, and been con
sistent, he would manifestly hare
refused to confirm and carry out
the recommendation.
m
And he would hare asked that
congres change the provision, sir
ing to that body the deciding
rolce, which would, of course,
hare been against tha conclusions
of the .bipartisan commission, if
the two houses of -that body were
democratic and foUowed the an
nounced ideas ef Mr. Roosevelt,
according to his fulmlnatlon on
the hustings: "Our policy declares
for lower tariffs."
. o
To bo entirely consistent, Roose
relt wob.14 demand that tha for
mer rates, tha ones before tha 'In-
ituitous Hawiey-smoot am was
made law, be restored that la, it
ha were president. This would
open American markets to Chi
nese cheap eggs, ana absolutely
win out any chance of profitable
poultry breeding in tha United
States! Absolutely. That would.
verily, be a "ghastly Jest-

Under the Hawley-Smoot tariff

tha poultry breeder of tha Salem
district can produce - eggs right
now at around t to It cents

him are now mora than double
those figures. .
His present low prices of pro
duction are due to several things.
among them the abnormally small
costs of feeds, and the always low
overhead In this district, due to
tha fact that the breeder is favor
ed by climatic and other natural
conditions with no intense heat

The season xoomed aioag ia ty
pical New Dominion style. Georgia
Tech. Pitt, Nebraska, Kentucky
and Iowa were defeated la order
some by fair margins, others after
severe struggles; but Barney Mack
always found a way to finish first.
Ted's team acquitted itself cred
ttably, starting every contest except
that with m Nebraska. The Com
bos kers were powerful and unde
feated when they came to New Do
miaioa for the Homecoming Game
and Barney took no chances. He
started his regulars and kept them
in, with a few exceptions, uatil the
game was almost over. Then, to
protect a three-point lead, he made
a few substitutions to bolster his
defease.
Ted was one of these. Padea
had played a magnificent game,
practically clinching aa all-Am er
icas selection; but he was tiring
fast aad Barney said to Ted:
"In there now, play it safe. Kick
them back into coa corner every
tinae you get the ball aad cant
more with it."
Ted had developed into ao accur
ate kicker. He relieved Padea for
the last eight minutes and. after
tryiag two plays oa offense puuted
for the corners or out of bounds to
prevent the willowy Husker safety
man from getting a chance to bring
back a pnnt into scoring territory.
Homecoming at New Domiaiou
was a hectic time. Hotels were
crowded and tickets for the modest
seating capacity of the makeshift
wooden stadium were always at a
premium. Old grads whe return
ed, usually anticipated victory and
came fully prepared to celebrate.

Barney told the squad after the
game. "A little relaxation won't
