REGULATION OF | CARRIERS HELD THREAT TOU. S.

Governmental Rule Flayed by Traffic Group Officer at Meeting.

Warning members against what he termed “dangers of government regulation,” Walter Bockstahler, vice president of the Transportation Association of America, spoke at a meeting of the Indianapolis Trafic Club last night in the Lincoln.

“There are two roads to Socialism,” Mr. Bockstahler said, “The diect road lies through physical revoution, seizure of property and abandonment of laws protecting property rights. A second, slower, but equally effective method, is to curtail the earning power of industry. through regulation, restriction and oppression. ‘The danger of government ownership ‘in ° transportation which would be followed by nationalization of other private enterprise lies in the financial distress toward which we are sweeping, due to public indifference.”

Problem Termed Basic

. “The JranspostaLion problem,” Mr. Bockstahler said, “is a basic feature in our social structure, affecting the lives and liberties of every one,

Already, he claimed, airway transportation .is becoming restricted. and burdened by regulation. ‘“‘Transportation as a whole,” Mr. Bockstahler ~claimed, “is dangerously near government control.” Outlining transportation history and ‘development, he criticised governmental supervision as being impractical and unfair. ‘Regulation has. been expensive, cumbersome and. frequently tinged with too much theory and too little practicalness,” he stated.

Operators Harmed, Too

“Mr. Bdckstahler claimed there were acts and practices in the transportation field which are vicious and harmful to the operators as well as the public. “Instead of

dealing with the socalled malpraé-

tices directly,. we turned to the old English custom of regulation;! he said. Arrangeménts for the dinner were in charge of a committee which included William M. F. Benning, of the New York Central lines, John M. Dill, Railway Express Co. general agent; W. A. Hampton, Chicago & Northwestern general agent; R. K. Johnson, president, Certified Motor Freight Terminal, and M. C. Safford, traffic manager of Wadley Co.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Gail Everett, winner of a prize for costume design offered by a large silk manufacturing company, comes to New York to find work. She is hired—due to a stroke of luck—by Madame Lisette, proprietor of an exclusive shop. Madame proves temperamental and difficult to work for. Derek Hargreaves, young artist, is interested in Gail, and offers her friendly a4vice. Frequently Gail sees Dick Searles, whose sister was her roommate at school. She also becomes acquainted with Natalie Preston who, under a mask of friendliness, makes shrewd plans to advance her own interests. Gail's first real test comes when Madame Lizette tells her to get a dress ready for an important customer, Lue lle Travers. Lucille, wealthy and snobbish, was a classmate of Gail's at school. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

CHAPTER NINE MARK CHAPMAN glanced at his watch. It was six hours since he'd crossed the line into Arizona. By sundown he should be there. Steam .was pouring from his dusty old car.

At last he reached the top and, swinging toward the side of the road, shut off the engine. Stepping to the ground, he climbed a few paces up the cliff. Then, shading his eyes from the brilliant afternoon sun, he looked down on the valley and the red roofs of the Rancho Angelo.

Yes, there it was—the -home he had run away from more than 40 years ago! He'd been in every state of the union since that day. Yes, and in foreign countries, too. He'd had luck—good and bad—but when he sailed into New York harbor a month ago, he’d felt the call of home.

Now, within sight of -it—though he had still several miles to g20— Mark Chapman felt strangely apprehensive. He'd never written to his folks in all these years. Occasionally he'd seen a hometown newspaper in some city library. He knew the old folks were gone. One of his brothers, too. He'd been an airman, stunting at country fairs.

MA4Ex had seen a poster with

his brother's picture on it as he tramped to a Midwest town. He'd chuckled to himself, planning their meeting. The accident happened just before he reached the fairgrounds and Mark had never made himself known. It was too late then! His youngest sister had married and died. He'd read that in the papers. He'd read, too—years later —about her artist husband’s success. There'd been some ‘mention of a daughter. But the rest of the family — Mark swallowed hard — what about them? ~He got into his car again. Seeing he'd come so far, he might as well go on. He'd never be satisfled now if he didn’t find out about

the family and the old home. Of course Mark wasn't figuring on sitting down on any of his relations. He wasn't now, even if he didn’t make any show of his wealth. = F J » AYBE he was still thinking of those far-off days, or perhaps the bright ht blinded him as he swung around the last curve on the twisting, rocky road. Suddenly he skidded and the car barged into the handrail of the narrow bridge. Mark was tossed into the ditch. When he came to himself he was lying in a bunk'in a cool, dark room and an old man sat by his side. “There, stranger, better not try to sit up yet.” The man pressed his work-calloused hands on Mark's shoulders. “You had a nasty fall. Lucky for you the doctor had to go up the canyon t'other night. But you'll be all right in a day or two, though you got pretty badly bruised.”

“What about the car?” “Sorry, but I reckon that’s done for. I looked it over—but I shouldn't be bothering you with thinks like that now.”

TT have to make other arrangements about going on.” “Well, you won't be starting tonight, so just lie still. My place ain't very high and mighty—nothing like the Rancho Angelo where I used to live—but you're welcome to what I have. I'll fix us some supper now.” The old man arose and walked toward the kitchen. Mark closed his eyes. He felt as though he'd taken a good beating, and his head wasn’t just clear. He'd be glad to rest for a day or two. He would make it all right with the old man. A week passed, but Mark Chapman was still too lame to leave Jed Hoskeer’s shack. It was evening and the two were sitting smoking on a makeshift bench. “Yes, sir, I tell you I'll get even with the Travers bunch,” declared Jed. “They done me dirt, turning me out of the Rancho Angelo, and me with my money ready to buy it from Peter Everett.” His old blue eyes blazed. “But wasn’t there anything you could have done about it?”

5 # 2

O! They showed me the deeds and the letter from Everett, accepting their offer for the place.” Jed puffed furiously on his pipe. Then he spoke. “I never could understand Peter Everett going back on his word. He'd promised to sell the Rancho Angelo to me if he ever decided to get rid of it: I can’t see why he changed his mind and let this gang get it. Of course, I'll never know now, for he was killed just as he reached New York after being away a whole year on the other side of the water; but I'll get even with the Travers bunch! It’s them I blame, of the dead.” A horse and rider came loping along, and turned into the broad drive that led to the Rancho Angelo. “That's Dan Draffen. The Travers gang put him in the ' moment they took over the property. They pay him: to look after the place. He's a decent enough sort. I've nothing against him, even if he is in their pay. He lets me stay here— not but what I could buy another place, but I'm not moving out of the valley till I'm through with Travers and his gang!” The old man rose and disappeared into the shack. » 2 # ARK CHAPMAN smoked steadily as daylight gave place to night and the far blue sky was ‘pierced with silver stars. Hour after hour he’s listened to Jed’s stories. He knew now he had come home too late ‘to see any of his kin. They were all gone now—unless Peter

. | Everett’s daughter still lived.

Sometimes Mark thought the old man was crazed. Maybe Dan Draffen would have another side of the story to tell. Yet as Mark tried to think things out—tried to weave into a pattern of some sort the strange tale Jed had retailed to him, he couldn’t see why his broth-er-in-law had failed to keep faith with the old man. Shaking the ashes from his pipe, he followed Jed into the shack. There were some queer angles to this deal. Mark had made up his mind to get to the bottom of it, even if the old man had gone a bit crazy over the transaction. As he climbed into his bunk Mark realized how much the old home meant to him. Rancho ‘Angelo must be restored to the family again!

ID you ever think of writing to the man in whose care you sent your rent money to.Everett?” Mark askea next morning as the two drove to town for some sup-

* | plies. “No! He'd nothing to do with Everett's affairs,” Jed answered.

“You see, it was like this. Everett

it’s no good to me now.” Jed turned and gave him a pitying look. “Hey there, look out, or you'll have -us both in the ditch!i® cried Mark,

“Sakes alive, I guess I will.” The old man jerked the car back to the middle of the road. A few minutes later he started to ‘talk of the wonderful irrigation projects that were being put through and what they would mean to the state. But while he listened Mark realized that it was not for farming purposes that the Travers interests had secured the extensive acreage that went with his old home.

ARK had done a good deal of prospecting. He had studied geology and knew that the rock formations were what. interested the eastern capitalists—that there might be valuable mineral deposits on the property. “Well, I reckon I'll park the car here,” declared Jed when they reached the county seat. ‘Maybe you'd like to take a look around while I get the stuff I need. Itll take me a couple of hours, so if you’ll meet me here then, we’ll be on the way again.” Mark Chapman glanced about There were many changes in the town. A big new courthouse had taken the place of the one he had known in boyhood. The streets were paved and many of the stores were new. As he walked along the marble corridors of the courthouse he noticed a sign reading, “Hall of Records.” “By Jiminy,” he said to himself, “that’s where I'm going.”

JT was a young man who pro duced the country maps, for which Mark asked. When he mentioned that he’d been away from the valley for 40 years, the youngster exclaimed, “Then I guess you'll find a lot of changes. Property's been changing hands since the Travers Mining and Development Co. came down here.” “So?” answered Mark casually. “Important people, I suppose,” he added as he noticed the names that were listed. : “You bet they are. Travers is worth millions and making more all the time.” “Well, well!” commented Mark, still studying the maps. “Oh, there's the Rancho Angelo. Who owns that now?” “That hasn't | changed hands. Some one told me it's still in the same family, though I guess most of them are gone.” “And who owns this?” NM asked, pointing to the adjacent land, for he had taken off his glasses. s = = HATS a Travers property, and so’s this, and this,” the young man declared, glad of an opportunity ‘to impress the stranger by shawing him the" extensive realty holdings of this concern. ... “Seems like they'll soon be owning the state!” Mark said. Then he asked, “What do folks think of the Travers Corp.?” “I guess they like their money, for they always pay cash for the land they buy.” Mark Chapman nodded, and, with a word of thanks, left the building. But as he walked slowly to the parking place his brow was furrowed. Why had the new owners of Rancho Angelo not recorded their deed?
