Transport
heads meet
in Union
for "Co-ordinating and System
atizing Transportation Rates,"
Prof. Phillip Locklin of the Uni
versity of Illinois, declared in the
opening address of the conference
that unrestricted competition be
tween railroad and trucking trans
portation is ruinous, has resulted
in an uneconomic distribution of
transportation facilities.
Trucks take 'cream or tr attic
According to the former inter
state commerce commission econ
omist, the trucks have robbed the
trains of the "cream of their traf
fic," and have forced them to oper
ate on a less than cost basis.
For regulation, Locklin sug
gested that a bottom must be
placed on competitive rates, and
high cost transportation agencies
should be allowed to operate at
the average rates of the group
A co-ordinated system, he de
clared, would be one in which each
kind of transportation is used in
the field where it is most efficient.
"Where high cost agencies are of
necessity employed, they must not
be allowed to charge less than out
of pocket expenses, nor less than
is necessary to meet competition.
Agee presides in morning.
With J. H. Agee of the Lincoln
Telephone company presiding, the
morning session included addresses
by J. A. Little, Nebraska rate ex
pert; R. O. Small, Chicago freight
traffic manager for the Chicago
and Northwestern, and F. E.
Schroeder of the Inland Water
ways corporation.
Speaking at the afternoon ses
sion on" "Transportation's Tax
Burdens," Prof. S. L. Miller of the
University of Iowa concluded that,'
on the basis of data available, the
tax burden borne by the owner of
the motor vehicle is comparatively
light. Against his contribution -to
general governmental activities
the truck owner has little ground
for complaint.
Miller also declared that any in
crease in trucking taxes by the
legislature would be made "over

posal until the council has time to
obtain , further information, trac
tion company officials have been
investigating the legal complica
tions which mig;ht result from
granting of the lower rate to stu
dents. Barring unforeseen dirficulties,
which seem improbable, the State
Railway commission will raise no
objection to the 5 cent rate or
revised bus schedules if traction
company sees fit to 1 make the
change, according to Commissioner
F. A. Good, who was reached late
yesterday. The commission has
final authority on such matters.
Fears legal discrimination.
E. R. Heiny, vice president and
general manager of the Lincoln
Traction company, expressed the
fear that legal discrimination
might be held against the com
pany if it reduced rates for stu
dents to 5 cents, and did not re
duce those of others coming in
the same age brackets. Heiny has
requested the company's attorneys
to look into this.
Meanwhile, the council has as
sumed the task of determining the
number of students traveling each
way between the ag and city cam
puses at each hour of every school
day. The council has arranged with
instructors to inquire thru their
classes to obtain this information.
Students who are not reached thru
their classes may fill out question
aires which will be on a table in
Ag hall.
Results of the survey will prob
ably be compiled and turned over
to the traction company by Tues
day or Wednesday, according to
Harold Benn, president of the stu
dent Council. Officials of the com
pany Ehould be able to give their
decision shortly after.
