Mileage Bureaus to Go.

Laws for maximum passenger
rates of 2 cents a mile have been
passed by so many of the western
and southwestern states that the ne
cessity of maintaining interchangea-
BILE mileage bureaus has become a
serious question with the roads affec'
ted by the legislation. 1t seems GER
tain that in such states as have a
flat 2 cent law. the use of the mile
age form of ticket of any kind
whether interchangeable or not, will
be discontinued. Passengers will pre-
fer to purchase tickets for each
trip rather than carry a lot OF m''e-
age around with them when there IS
no pecuniary advantage in doing so.
Should the new laws hold in the
courts, they also will do away with
the rebate system in effect in connec-
ton with the. use of the mileage form
of tickets. The changes that have
been made in the laws by so msny
states will simplify travelling to a
certain extent and tighten the WORK
of accounting officials OF the roa's
considerably.
A question that is botherins the
roads Just now is whether to dc
away with the superfluous bureaus
Immediately or await the outcome oi
