Needed: "General Practitioners" in Transportation Today, you are deprived of the best and most economical transportation because public policies place artificial and severe restrictions upon the opportunity of any one form of transportation, such as railroads, to serve you by the use of other means of transportation, such as that by highway, waterway or airway. Yet, in other industries, diversification of products has become common, and has proved beneficial both to those industries and to the public. Why, then, shouldn't the public be allowed to benefit by diversification in transportation? Clearly, diversification would be to the advantage of the nation's shippers. They could then arrange for their transportation through a single transport company which could utilize any or all means of carriage needed to do the particular job at hand most efficiently. That's why the railroads ask for removal of present artificial limitations. They seek only the same opportunity as anyone else to enter into other fields of transportation. Then they could become "general practitioners" in transportation — using a wide variety of facilities to serve you and the nation more efficiently. Isn't this common sense?
