the custom of riding on street cars?
Isn't it a condition frightful to contem-
plate?
The condition is here, however. 1t is
a condition and not theory.
What's to Be Done7
The fact of the matter Is. there is no
gasoline in Salt Lake to speak OF. What
are the autOmObilists going to do about
II? Ask There are more than 800 au-
tOmobilists in this town that use gaso-
line for fuel purposes and the ordinary
run of them use approximately five gal
Ions a day. Some Will tell you that
gasoline may be had at wholesale prices
as cheap as p cents; others tell one
that 30 cents IS the rate that prevails
where most Of the chauffeurs are pa
irons. Whatever the price and what
ever the quantity consumed, the auto
mObilists are up against it, for gaso-
line.
Those who have studied the gasoline
question in its relation to the automo-
bile, in comparison with existing ano
future means Of propulsion, declare thai
the time is not far distant when the
gasoline machine must go, and that the
supply agents confess their inability &c
meet the demand. A substitute Is found
in wood alcohol, which serves its pur'
pose, but owing to mechanical imper-
fections and the demands of the distil
leries it is not yet in general use.

However the gasoline shortage may af

SHIPPING INTERESTS HEARD
ARGUE AGAINST PROPOSED UNI.
FORM BILL OF LAplNG,
Interstate Commerce Commission I,
Told Two Distinct Bills Should,
Be Adopted.

Washington, Oct, 17.-That the uni.
form bill of lading which it is pro.
posed to put into effect on all the rail-
roads of the country on January 1
next by the interstate commerce CON-
mission is not satisfactory to the
commercial interests and that two sep.
arate bills Of lading should be adopted
instead, was pointed out at hearing
of these interests before the interstate
commerce commission Tuesday.
The hearing was one of the most
important ever held by the commits.
sion from the. standpoint Of the inter-
ests affected, as the adoption of a uni
form bill Of lading in the transporta-
ton of freight by common carriers
by railroads will involve a radical de-
parture from the methods now in
use. At the present time the rail-
roads of the United States use sepa-
rate bills of lading, and 1t is the desire,
Of the. commission, the shipping and
the railroad interests to secure uni
formity in the matter, the only ques-
tion at ISSUE: r.. !. -.
1t was the consensus of opinion OF
the representatives of the interests
heard that a recommendation should
be made for the adoption by the COM
mission, instead of the one which it
was proposed to put into effect, of two
distinct bills of lading which should
be uniform in character, one to be
known as straight bill Of lading,
and: the other an "order" bill Of lad
ing. An "order" bill of lading, it was
explained, is a negotiable instrument
upon which money can be loaned, and
straight bill of lading is an ordinary
receipt which the railroad company
gives for a consignment Of goods. It
was argued that should the commits
sion adopt the two proposed bills Of
lading, substantial Justice to all in
terests concerned would be afforded.
