N EW YORK—Fair treatment for the railroads in reaped to highway motor competition was called for by Rome C. Stephenson, Freakleut Amer ican Rankers Association, in a recent address Jiere. He also strongly en dorsed “sound economic railway con solidation'' and pruisdd President Hoo ver for his init’iatiro in this respect. “1 am very strongly of the opinion that one of the meuaures which would help materially to put back business whero it ought to be is the Eastern four-system plan of railroad consoli dation as announced recently follow ing negotiations instituted by Presi dent Hoover," said Air. Stephenson. “Its adoption by the Interstate Com merce Commission would tend to stabi lize the transportation industry, fa cilitate operation and exert a favorable influence on business in general. “It is A fact Well known to businer:^ “leaders that our railroads are now fac ing a crisis. Not only do they need protective laws to meet competitive situations arising from increased use of our highways and waterways by other carriers, but they neq^i unifica tion such as the proposed four-system plan provides. Our President has acted wisely in assuming a leadership in this respect and Ids move deserves the support of every clear-thinking citizen.” Air. Stephenson declared that the railroads have served thia country 'so superlatively well that we are prone in our public affairs to overlook our de pendence upon them and our obliga tions to them. The past, present and future progress of tho United States is inseparably hound up with their wel fare. In neglecting just consideration for them wo are even more neglectful of the public’s best economic interests. A Question of I’uhlic Interest “We aro confronted with the ques tion as to how much more the public economic interest will stand an inva sion of the welfare of the railroads by forces and difficulties not of their own creating and not within the scope of their own unaided powers to combat,” ■‘said Mr. Stephenson. “I refer especially' to new competitions that arc undermin ing the hard-earned position of the rail roads, not only with the aid of natural economic forces but also through the aid of government policies which, posi tively or negatively, tend to give theso competitors undue advantages over the railroads. “It goes without saying that the rail roads have no right, nor claim any, so far as 1 have been able to discern, to complain at legitimate competition in the field of transportation, for the pub lic Is entitled to the beat possible trans portation at the lowest practical coat, but equally does- It go without saying that this cannot be lalrly brought about by using, or by failing to use, the tax ing powers of government to enable competitive methods of transportation to do thlnga they could not otherwise do as unaided private enterprises, par- tieiriarly when such action impairs the invested rights held in good faith by great masses of our people in estab lished enterprises that are serving the public well." Mr. Stephenson said it was not his purpose to argue against such com petitive transportation as the highway’ passenger motorbus and motor truck as such, when cwudqcled under proper conditions and in keeping with public welfare and benefit. He declared, how ever, there is need for serious consid eration whether such competition is being developed under conditions that are unfair to the railroads, because either the outright or obscure aid of govefhment policy Is the deciding eco nomic factor in that competition. Would Invettigate Bus Traffic Railroad rights of way, he declared, represent tremendous capital invest ments, on which the railroads have also ^leavy current costs lo meet, “They pay every day a million dollars in taxes and most of this is on their rights of way," he said. “Also they spend daily over two million dollars ad ditional for the proper maintenance of way.” Ho asserted that the motor- buses have not had to pay for their rights of way in any sense that the rail roads paid for theirs. r . “They have simply takeu possession of public, highways built by public funds, both state and national,' he con tinued, “and they have extensively made those highways vastly less com fortable, less safe and less serviceable for private motorists and others who jtre contributing chiefly to their orea- ‘lion and maintenance.” r Mr. Stephenson declared that all these matters should be thoroughly in quired into by competent public bodies, both state and national, with a view of determining the equities and basic public economic interests in volved, “particularly in respect to their effects upon the nation's railroads. “I venture to say,” he added, “that such inquiries would shot* whether it la to tha public lniereat id let iKlngi remain as they aro, whether the situa tion calls for a new basis of motorbus and truck taxes to satisfy the equities of the case or whether it would call for irfghways. and the requirement that, even as the railways, it provide as a part of its own pritate capital invest ment its own rights of way an* fer Its own maintenance of way out of uperat la* Income.". , Improved Uniform International (By REV.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—The Curse of Heinxhm-na. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Right and Wrong U*e« of Wealth. In Mils lesson we are afforded a look into two worlds where we see extremes _of character ami roudHions. In this present world we see u rich man rev eling in luxury and a pooV man in sore affliction, begging ut the rich man’s gate. In the other world we see the same men with reversed imsltions —ttie erstwhile beggar enjoying the richest blessings of heaven while the former rich man suffers the torments of hell. 'Hies** lives were intended to be* representative. The rich miin de kcendft from the highest pinnacle of worldly enjoyment to file depths of endless misery. The poor beggar as eends from utter wretchedness and misery to the loftiest heights of bless ing. I. Contrasted Lives (vv. 10-21). 1. The rich man (v.-JO). He lived in a mansion itcluded from the common people. Ife was clothed In costly raiment. He fed upon the richest food that could be provided. ’It shonld be home In—mhtd that -this tmin is not accused of having unlaw fully gained Ids riches. His sin was seifiSldy to indulge his appetites with out consideration of others. 2. The beggar (vv. 20. 21). He was laid at the rich man’s gate in the ho|»e of gelling at least the t rumhs from his table. No considera tion was given him by the rich man, ami evmi the dogs of tho street were more kind to him. Lazarus means “God. is a help,” indicating Hint n godly life showed through Ids poverty. II. Contrasted Deaths and Burials (v. 22). * * 1. The beggar He wus found dead and ids body hurried off to a pauper's grave. No notice was taken of it by the world, but that he was no Ipnger tcv be seen at the gate of the rich man. ' 2. The rich man. He also died. His gold could not brtbffvthe messenger of death. Doubt less a costly funcml wav held. til. Tne Contrasted DVstinios (vv. 22. 23). x —L The beggar. He was at once carried by the an gels into Ahruhutn’s bosom. The souis of believer* are especially cared for at tho hour of death. They gd imme diately to be with tlie Lord. I*estinies are determined in Mils life. • • 2. The rich man. \ Though he»had an el aim rate burial, be lifted up Ids eyes in hell “being in torments.” The |iosltions of these men are now reversed—(he .pborjnan is ii» the company of “Just men made per feet," and (he rich man is stripped of his purple and fine linen und cu*d into bell. TT IV. Tbs Reality and Fixednaas of Life Beyond the Grave (vv. 34-31). 1. The cry for mercy (r. 24). Dives; which la the Latin name for “rich man.” was now willing to claim relationship to Abraham. He is^knaaly . conscious, and the appetites >vhich con trolled hlm.w:h1to on earth were still with him. -'* 2. Abraham's reply (v. 2Tt). This reply cast the mutter back ii|miu the tnsn’ii memory. He said; “Son. re member.” The lashings of a guilty con science will he most real in hell. The one supreme thing to remember will be the cause which led to the awful destiny. Then. t«*o. it will be reuieui- bered that the doom Is JnsL _ 3. The fixedness of life beyond the grave (v. 20).‘ Human destiny is fixed by- the choices made during the earthly life. When one peMbs ont or this 'life be enters into a state anjj condition which is unclmugeable. 4. God’s Word the all sufficient light (vv. 27-3.1). , Dives requested that lAxarug go on an errand of mercy to his brethren. He regarded the testimony of a spirit of more value than the Word of God. Many today are more willing to trust tId* Dippings of a ghost than the sure Word of God. Abraham declared (hat God’s Word Is sufficient—that .those who reject Moses and the prophets would not repent though visited by one who had risen from the dead.
