"There is élso the item of taxes,

Turning to motor vehicle trans.
portatlon. President Bvram said it
was a. mistake to assume that the
railroads are not intensely interested
in the possibilities or that held. in
some localities. he pointed out, mo-
tor cars already have been installed
by rail lines.
“it is a far reaching question."
Mr. Bryam stated, “bd‘csuse roll-
rosds cannot maintain service indef-
initely where their trains are not
patronized or where the patronage
tails to cover the expense of opera-
ting this service.
"The railroads are not trying to
eliminate the motor vehicles but
merely wish to bring all phases of
the question before the people so
they may realize the unfavorable re.
action against themselves in divers-
ion of business needed to pay the
running expenses or the railroads."
President Bryant termed the use
or the Panama Canal tor coast to
coast traffic "another illustration of
unregulated and unfair competition
which adversely affects the rail-
roads and therefore reacts aminst
the interest of the public." He cited
figures to show that'tho net ton-

that while this was sometimes re.
terred to as a small tonnage com.
tiered with the total tonnage ot the
western carriers operating between
Chicago and lhe‘Pscitlc coast, the
railroad ton hauled only ten miles
was counted just the some as a ton
