Railroads face competition as Stephenson calls for fair treatment
Rome C Stephenson president of the American Bankers Association urged fair highway motor competition and urged sound economic railway consolidation. He praised President Hoover and argued for public policy to protect railroads investments in rights of way and current maintenance costs while noting motor lines have not paid for similar rights of way. He urged state and national inquiries into the public economic interests involved and the potential need for reduced motorbus and truck tolls to balance highway and rail competition.
