REED FOR RETURN OF STATE'S POWER Ex-Senator Also Advocates Less Government in Business. Returning from a European vacation, James A. Reed, former Senator from | Missouri, was on record today as ad- vocating less Government in business, | & return of power to the States, and prepared to take part in the Fall cam- | Ppeien. L i In discussing public questions yester- | day, the silver-haired Democratic wai rior said he probably would participate | in the Fall campaign. He showed in- | :‘e interest in the problems of the | ay. | “Prohibition?” he asked back. “I think it is perfectly obvious that the | American people have given this law a | very thorough trying out and that it | has been found to be the ghastliest | failure in the last half-century of legis- | lation. Repeal the eighteenth amend- ment and as a preliminary to that re- peal the Voistead act.” The subject of State and local gov- | ernment, however, drew first fire from Reed as he discussed present economic ‘eonditions. States Can Run Business. *“&s soon as we begin to recognize $oat the various States can run their usiness better than a number of men gathered in Washington, many of whom have never seen the other States, .t‘hen the better it is going to be for us,” he | asserted. “I think this is a very great | movement for the good of the Ameri- can people and that it is almost enough | for one administration. “The sooner we realize that the Gov- ernment can’t run the business of the | people and that practically every in- terference results in disaster, today as | through the ages, the wiser we shall be.” Reed assailed the Federal Reserve Board for lending Government credit to the “riot of speculation in the stock exchange,” which preceded the collapse of prices & year ago and he blamed the Republican administration “for invit- ing” participation in this “riot” by th public through the issuance of state- ments declaring the resources of the country “unlimited.” Frightened Every One. ‘The Missourian said President Hoover | “frightened every one and spread alarm- ing news abroad” by calling in the “captains of industry” last Fall and “telling them to save us.” “It was just notice to all the world that our edifice was toppling and had to be helped by a few men—to be saved by a class of men who always take ad- vantage of such situations to gather money for themselves.” Reed said the attack by Secretary Hyde on Russia “for selling wheat” and his plea to the e to eat more food came under the cl ation of “ He added his brief visit to Geneva had “strengthened my conviction that we were right when we kept out of the League of Nations.” Prohibition Is Issue. As for prohibition, Reed slammed the table and sald: “The time has come when that has got to be an issue and every man and woman who'runs for public office ought to state his views on it.” Declining to discuss proposals that he run again for the Democratic presiden- tial nomination or consider returning to the Senate two years hence, Reed said | he would be glad to take a part in the campaign this Fall.

BY LEMUEL F. PARTON. | Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, September 25.—The an- ticipated recommendation of Mayor ‘Walker’s Taxicab Commission that taxi- | cabs be put under public utility regula- | tion is of intense interest to 78 leading American cities where, a recent survey shows, automobile fatalities have risen nearly 15 per cent during the current year. The report of the comm n ! Teaches the mayor's desk simultaneously ‘with another report from the cormis- sioner of health, recording 40 deaths in automobile accidents in New York City last week, a record to date. Mayor Walker’s commission was ap- pointed during the colorful regime of Police Commissioner Grover Whalen, who applied drastic measures to the traffic emergency, but who ran afoul of the courts in establishing this dictator- ship. Among others. his mand~‘~ ar- dering snappy uniforms on all taxi drivers in the interesc of “aigiiy, sc- | spectability and purity” was upset by an unfeeling judge and the troubled months of Mr. Whalen’s incumbency served to drive home the necessity for some basic uniformity in regulation. This led the increasing pressure for the operation of taxicabs under the State Public Utility Commission. Walsh Heads Commission. Frank Walsh, nationally known at- torney and head of President Taft's Commission on Industrial Relations, is chairman of the Taxicab Commission. iOther members are Lenor F. Loree.

Loree has just returned from abroad, where he made a study of taxi- cab regulation in European cities. The commission has compiled data not only on the problems of public necessity and convenience inherent in taxi regula- tion, but of public safety, labor and economic details of the business, as use- ful preliminaries to the “fair return” considerations if the public utility regu- lation is later carried through. Insurance companies have been watch- ing the taxicab inquiry closely and fur. thering the investigation, as many com. panies have expressed reluctance to sure the new 65-mile-an-hour cabs, and have discountenanced the forming of large fleets, contending that hazards | increase and less dependable operation | results from sich operations. Insur-| ance costs for cars in fleets have been $38 per month per car and $28 per| month for individually operated cabs. Representatives of the insurancs com: panies also have urged tii» use of cabs two feet shorter than those now in use, noting that eight linear miles of stree space would be saved by thus shorten- ing the 20,000 cabs in use in New Yurks City. 1In support of this, they cite the | eftectiveness of the shorter cab in| London They have opposed the lower- ing of taxi rates, maintaining that this puts a premium on speeding.
