HITS RAILROADS
Bankers Association President
Asks If Unfair Aid Is Given
Motorized Transport—
For Rail Mergers.
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.". ,

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. The
greatest minic6st*ljVl J»ot affect the
hearts of iiiont^. I he Bible.
