Pioneers in New Field of Looomotion
Protest Against Being Charged
as Are Automobile Pro-
prletors

owen & Wood, who own most of the
public automobiles on the streets, and
among them the two taxicabs that are
being tried as an experiment have Pc
titioned the council to reduce ne IL"
cense fee on the latter.
The fee now exacted for public auto
mobiles of all classes is IS a month.
The petitioners have no objection TO
this amount for the big touring cars,
but declare it is exorbitant for taxi
cabs. the rates for which are only 80
cents for the first half mile and 40
cents a mile after, or less than half
the amount charged for the big autos.
The seating capacity of the taxicabs ls
also less than half that Of the touring
cars.
Petitioners ask that the fee on taxi
cabs be reduced to 81 month. They
say they have found the experiment
with the two they have had on the
streets satisfactory and have ordered
a number more. They proposed to give
Los Angeles as good a taxicao service
as can be found in any other city, II
they can only secure a low license fee,
The amount charged for horse-draWn
hacks is only 81 a month, and owen
& Wood put the taxicabs on the same
plane, although only two fares can pe
taken at once in a taxlcab.
When the ordinance providing Tor
license fee for autos was passed there
were no taxicabs in the city, and they
were not taken into consideration.

a ton OF farm product would bring a
benefit not alone to the farmer, but
to the consumer, and If the product
hauled each year was large, 1t Is not
hard to figure that the saving would be
large.
Savings That May BE Made
The United States department of ag-
riculture, through its office of public
roads has collected figures and they
may be accepted as approximately ac-
curate. During the crop year of 1906
IS, 4S7, 000 900 pounds of farm products,
consisting of barley, corn, cotton, fax
seed, hemp, hops, oats, barley, rice, to-
bacco, wheat and wool were hauled
from the places where they originated
to shipping points. This vast weight
did not, by any means, include all Of
the crops produced, the most notable
exceptions being truck products and
two mounting high in the millions.
Neither did it include any figures for
forest or mine products, nor for those
things which go In wagons from the
cities back to the country districts. The
foregoing figures show a saving Of IL
cents per mile, or cash benefit to the
farmers of $5S 900, 000
Beyond that, however, the interstate
commerce commission has assembled
other freight figures q most eonserVa-
