COMPETITION IN
TRANSPORTATION
We suppose that the folk
who made a Irving by carrying
goods and passengers on the
backs of horses and mules
raised serious .objections to
widening the highways so
that vehicles with wheels
could travel on them. The
records are silent on that point,
but subsequent history of com-
petition between different
methods of transportation
makes us think that is what
must have happened.
Teamsters voiced loud ob-
jections to canals when the era
of canal digging began in
America. The canal com-
panies sent delegations ter
Congress and the state legisla-
tures to try to stop the build-
ing of railroads. Old Cornelius
Vanderbilt’s first Tallroad, run-
ning from New York to Albany
was built for the purpose of
putting a rival steamboat line
out of business. The railroads
gradually got the upper hand,
and succeeded in getting a
good many of the canals
abandoned. They fought the
enlargement of the Erie Canal
for years, and succeeded in get-
ting the height of bridges
above water set so low that
large craft cannot use the en-
larged waterways to advan-
tage.
Railroads have not yet lost
all of their political influence,
but we think there is some-
thing silly and rather futile in
their effort to limit the use of
the highways to purely local
motor traffic. Some railroad
managements have been wise
enough to set up motorbus and
truck auxiliaries to their own
service; others have entered
Into cooperative arrangements
with the air lines.
The fact seems to be that
there is a 'field for every
modern form of transportation,
and each method should be
encouraged to develop its
highest degree of efficiency
without foolish restrictions in
the interest of some other
method. There is something
the matter with any industry
which cannot stand on its own
bottom but has to go running
to Government for help against
Its competitors. In the long
run, it is the public interest
that suffers when the free play
of competition Is checked.
- That is not to say that those
who use the highways should
not pay for the privilege in
proportion to the revenues
they derive from such use or
the damage they may do the
roadway and bridges. That is
something else again.
Literature is the mind of the
race.—Charles J. Finger.
BACK-TO-LAND MOVEMENT GAINING MOMENTUM
Proposed subsistence homesteads projects aggregating more
than $4,600,000,000, have been submitted to the Subsistence
Homesteads Division of the Department of the Interior since
that division was organized five months ago. The more than
2,000 separate applications submitted came from every state in
the Union, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Hawaii and Alaska.
The sum available for the entire program Is $25,000,000. and
the applications from the following states alone would absorb
this amount: California, Texas, Florida, New Jersey. Illinois,
Iowa, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Alabama. M. L. "Wilson, direc-
tor of the division, states that a preliminary examination dis-
closes that Upwards of $750,000,000 in proposals have genuine
merilf which entitles them to further study and consideration.
The following factors include those considered by the Sub-
sistence Homesteads Division in establishing projects:
Whether there is an opportunity for persons with families to
combine living on a small tract of land of proven productivity
with part or full time work in a factory, trade, craft or forest.
Whether groups of people are available who would be will-
ing to make the most of subsistence tracts of from two to five
acres, emploving the tract for he production of fuel, vegetables,
poultry, small livestock and other produce for home use—foods
which these persons are now. unable to purchase In needed
qauntities because of the limitations of their income.
Whether there are local groups desiring to cooperate in car-
tying out a program for improving the standard of living of
workers with low income.
Every project so far approved is aimed to serve as « test and
a demonstration in addition to providing an opportunity for
improving the financial position and community advantages of
prospective residents. Some projects represent the garden
home type of development where workers will live within easy
transportation distance from centers of employment; others will
provide an opportunity for snbmarginal fanners to get onto bet-
ter lands; while in other instances the workers, including
stranded coal miners and stranded workers in the lumber in-
dustries will be established, privately financed. In several
cases the projects are being developed with b view of providing
opportunities for employment in connection with national
in fifteen different states have thus far been ap-
forests.
Projects
proved.
Care is taken not to dump workers without agricultural
background onto land, as it would only mean a transfer of the
relief problem of urban areas to rural areas. The Subsistence
Homesteads Division also considers whether the proposed
projects will place the workers into commercial agricultural
production in competition with the farmer of the nation who
now faces problems of overproductoin.

THE HATCHERY CODE
Healthier chicks, bigger
chicks, and hens that will lay
eggs weighing more by the
dozen than those now produc-
ed are some of the desirable
results to be expected under
the new hatchery code, says
Dr. M. A. Jull of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
The code provides that com-
mercial hatcheries must not
set eggs weighing less than
I 5-6 ounces each or less than
23 ounces to the dozen. The
code is being administered by
representatives of the hatchery
industry in cooperation with
the department.
Barring the setting of small
eggs is important, says Dr.
Jull, since Bureau of Animal
Industry investigations have
proved that as a rule the chicks
hatched from small eggs are
smaller than the chicks from
larger eggs. Also egg size is
'inherited, and hens hatched
from good-sized eggs will lay
eggs larger on the average
than the eggs from hem hatch-
ed from small eggs. Continu-
ous selection of good-sized eggs
for setting, says Dr. Jull, will
tend to produce larger chicks
and larger pullets which in
turn will lay larger eggs than
has been the rule when many
pullets have been hatched
from small eggs.
Pullorum disease has caused
high mortality in chicks, and
has been difficult to eradicate
because it is transmitted from
dam to chick through the egg.
The Bureau of Animal Indus-
try has demonstrated that the
disease may be transmitted
from diseased clucks to
healthy ones during the hatch-
ing period. Eggs from breed-
ing hens carrying the disease
should not be incubated with
eggs from hens that are
healthy. Hens that harbor the
disease. Dr. Jull points out,
may be detected by what is
commonly called tne "blood
test.” All reactors should be
removed from the flock before
the breeding season.
Under the hatchery code, all
hatchery operators advertising
chicks from “blood-tested”
stock must state by whom the
test was conducted, the date of
the test, and that all reactors
were removed. Chicks from
blood-tested stock may not, un-
der the code, be hatched in the
same incubator nor in the same
incubator room as chicks from
stock that has not been blood
tested. The hatchery code has
already led to a considerable
increase in blood testing by
floek owners and hatchery op-
erators and hatchery plants
are exercising greater precau-
tions.
DETROIT EMPLOYMENT
tun nor in
Detroit—The Detroit Board
of Commerce announces that
industrial employment here in-
creased 204 per cent since
March 15, 1933, and is now at
the highest level since June
15, 1980. The increase from
February 15, 1934, was shown
to be 12 per cent. According
to the figures disclosed, slight-
ly more than 200,000 persons
are now employed in the auto-
motive industry alone in the
Detroit area, and that tar ev-
ery person holding a job in all
industries in Detroit a year ago
there are now 3 persons regu-
larly employed.
Fan Results in Broken
Limb for Small Boy
From Saturday’s Daily.
Leon, the three-year-old
son of Mrs. Jesse Turpin, was
the victim of an unfortunate
accident last Wednesday, re-
sulting in a broken leg. The
little boy chanced -to step into
a small hole and ordinarily the
fall would not have resulted
in even minor braises, how-
ever, in some manner the fall
resulted in a broken limb,
which will confine the small
patient to his bed for three or
more weeks.

Washington—Estimates oi
sales of new passenger auto-
mobiles, computed from the
number of cars sold as report-
ed by the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce, show
an increase of 69 per cent for
February, as compared with
February 1933, and an in-
crease of 28 per ceat over Feb-
ruary 1932, according to an-
nouncement of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Com-
merce. As compared with
January 1934, safes during
February showed an increase
of 106 per cent, approximate-
ly four times the usual season-
al gain, attributable in part to
probable carry-over of January
orders.
