WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6th, 1932 THE MOUNT JOY BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, LANCASTER CO., PA. A Railroads Take a Leaf From «The fae of a Comer? Ago HUNDRED years ago rail- roads were new. The older transportation interests fought them bitterly. Today highway transportation is new, and the railroads are fighting Jt with all their might. It’s always that way. The old can see no virtue in the néw. But some- how, the world continues to progress. In their effort to break down high- way transportation, the railroads of Pennsylvania last summer induced the legislature to abrogate the reci- procity arrangement whereby com- mercial motor vehicles licensed by one state were permitted to use the roads of other states. Pennsylvania authorities started enforcing the new law November 1. Bordering states retaliated, trucks were held up at boundaries, and business demoralized. The “border war” was disastrous, and a truce was arranged. But un- less Pennsylvania next winter re- peals the anti-reciprocity law, hos- tilities will be resumed with ruinous effects on business, particularly in milk and other agricultural products. The Highway Users’ Conference of Pennsylvania, which had a large part in arranging the temporary peace, issues this warning: 0 GMs pinvo © “The anti-reciprocity legislation attempted to take us back to the days of robber barons and highway brigandage. Discriminating against interstate commerce, it violates the spirit of the federal constitution and defies the whole tradition of free commercial movements. Its com- plete breakdown within a week means that the railroads have lost the first battle to strangle the free highway. Pennsylvania's reversion to parochialism has made it a butt of national ridicule, but the next legislature will repeal the anti- reciprocity law. “The railroads, of course, will op- pose repeal; they want higher licenses, mileage taxes, and weight limitations to make highway trans- portation economically impossible. Fortunately, the state has had a lesson, and the railroad lobby will not again have a free hand. The people have learned that the rail- roads, while complaining about taxes, actually pay only $12,000,000 an- nually on all their vast properties in Pennsylvania, while motorists pay over $64,000,000 in license and gaso- line taxes alone. Pennsylvania rail- roads pay less taxes than any other properties in the country; a fact that will be proved conclusively in the next legislature.” : NU i i : \ Detter Break EVENTY-SIX thousand six S hundred and fifty meals is the allotted number for each of us to eat before we are three score years and ten. Divide this by three and you have the number of breakfasts—25,560 breakfasts! Let’s have lots better ones, then, since we've so many to eat. Perish the thought of 25,550 dull breakfasts! Spread the apple- green cloth, set ou the flower- sprigged china, the prettiest sparkling crystal, and for a cen- terpiece use a lovely bowl of autumn flowers—glorious asters, fringed gentians that Wordsworth wrote about, and indescribable autumn leaves. Pewter is very inexpensive just now and adds im- measurably to the charm of the breakfast when used for coffee pot, sugar, cream and tray. But don’t forget the food. Here's a sample better breakfast: Stewed Apricots and Pears Cereal Raspberry Preserves Coffee Chicken Hash Melba Toast Chicken Hash: Cut chicken from a 12-ounce can in small pieces, and add two cups of cold boiled potatoes which have been cut fine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add one-half cup of cream or top milk. Press into a hot skillet with enough fat to prevent sticking, and brown well. turning often with a wide spatula to promote even cooking and browning. This serves six to eight persons.*® SISTERHOOD CLASS MET WITH MRS. S. S. STACKS The Sisterhood Bible class held their regular monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. S. S.

A Congressman’s View of Railroads’ Case The Pennsylvania Division of the National Highway Users Conference, in its efforts to prevent prohibitive regulation of highway traffic which would increase living costs and in- convenience rural communities, is giving wide publicity to a letter from Congressman Brand, of Ohio, to President Atterbury, of the Penn- sylvania Railroad. Last spring Gen- eral Atterbury wrote members of Congress urging regulation of other transportation facilities in order to protect railroad revenues. To this Congressman Brand replied: “A few years ago you took off the milk train which carried milk from my farms, and I bought a truck, called at the farms, and delivered the milk. You had been charging me 40 cents a 100; now I find I can collect this milk and deliver it for 20 cents a 100. “It is argued that trucks do not have to pay for a right of way, and that the railroads do; but this is debatable. High gasoline taxes and license charges have changed this situation. On the main roads we are spending annually about $1,000,000,- 000, and these same roads are pro- ducing almost identically that amount from gasoline taxes and license plate charges. “I have been connected with a manufacturing plant that was worth many thousands of dollars a year to you, but your rates on short haul business have been held so high that you have lost a large part of that business. You retain the long haul business at rates about three times what you charged years ago. but under these circumstances we find ourselves developing plans to split our factory, locating so that prac- tically all hauls will be short hauls and trucks can handle the business. My experience is everybody's.” Tue CARD BASKET — By Maude Edwards - Mr. S. P. Barlock, of Renovo, vis- ited friends here. Verna, Ross and Alma Fair spent Sunday at Landisville.
