BOARD UPHOLDS RAILWAY RIGHTS IN TRUCKORDER Denies Petition to Start Motor Freight Route in State. Declaring that “the community as a whole is better served by railroad than by truck,” the Indiana public service commission is on record today as opposing extension of truck freight lines, which are in direct competition with an operating railroad. The order setting forth reasons for this stand was prepared by Chairman John W. McCardle. He announced that it had Received a three-to-two vote of the commission at a recent conference Those voting with the chairman In favor of the railroad defense stand were Commissioners Howell Ellis and Jere West. Dissenting votes were cast by Commissioners Prank Singleton and Harry K. Cuthbertson. Directly Denies Petition The McCardle order directly denies the petition of the Drake & Houk Transfer Cos., Winchester, Ind., to operate a freight truck line between Winchester and Portland. The line would serve Deerfield and Ridgeville and parallel the Pennsylvania railroad. The latter was represented in the case by State Senator Herbert V. Tormohlen (Rep., Jay and Randolph). Pointing out that store door delivery service by truck does have an advantage over the train-a-day service of the railroad, the McCardle order also points out that other factors outweigh this in the matter of general good for the community as a whole. These include the high taxes paid by the railroad in all counties through which the tracks pass and the small personal property tax paid by trucks in addition to the gasoline tax. The gasoline tax is used for building highways over which the trucks pass, but the great weights rapidly are increasing the highway maintenance so that they really are not paying their way, the order states. Taxes Are Cited Taxes on trucks used was given as $75 each year, while the Pennsylvania railroad in 1929 paid a total of $179,677.16 in taxes in Jay, Randolph and Adams county, it was pointed out. “The railroads have done much for the advancement and progress of the country,” the McCardle order concludes. “Today, much of their property is jeopardized, and, if conditions do not change, many of them will cease operation and remove their rails. “The seriousness of this condition should be understood. ' The financial stability of the railroads is of greater importance than many realize. Billions of dollars of railroad bonds held by insurance companies, savings banks and like institutions really are the property of the people of small means. Permanent impairment of the value of these bonds would be a national calamity.”

DROUGHT FUNDS ALMOSTSPENT Health Efforts in 18 States Aided by Appropriation. Bv Scrlnrut-Hoicard Neir.iraver Alliance WASHINGTON. June 23.—The federal government is still helping finance the battle against disease in the drought states and soon will make allotments that will take the remainder of the $2,000,000 congress appropriated. In many of the drought states county health units would have been unable to function if the federal government had not helped. Work partly financed out of the $2,000,000 fund is going on now in eighteen states, and the public health service's effort may have to be extended if the threatened drought in the northwest becomes as serious as last year’s in the Mississippi valley. In alloting money from the $2,000,000 fund, the P. H. S. has called on state health officers to estimate their needs in counties where local units need strengthening. The money is then parceled out, in some instances being matched by local appropriations. The fund became available last February, and expenditures from it will be permitted until June 30, 1932.
