money. I understand that the railway
company placed mortgage on the lines
and this tied up the city for receipts
of any kind.
81 think that Chicago receives So per
cent of the gross earnings. Kansas
City also receives a big per cent from
their street railway systems. Topeka
does not get a cent
''In Topeka at this time every trans
fer wagon, vehicle of any kind that
carries passengers and peddlers pay a
license to the city. In addition to this
they pay their real and personal taxes
The Topeka railway occupies the heart
of the streets, crowds the streets with
poles, has the right-of-way over prac-
tically everything-and it doesn't have
to pay anything for its privileges.
ST don't see why it isn't just as rea-
sonable and just as fair for the street
car company to pay license as it is
to charge the peddler or the wagon
driver. The railway company is far
more dangerous to the lives of the pc
destrians than any other vehicle.
eff we charged the company SIS a
year for their cars it would mean only
Z cents a day-this is cheap under the
circumstances. 1t is no more than
reasonable. Or we might charge them
$50 a year for regular cars on the big
lines and $25 year for the extra cars
in service.
There is nothing radical about this
scheme. 1t conforms with the other
laws of the city and is just in every
way. I am in favor and will support a
measure of this kind
Better Service, Says Tandy.
Commissioner Tandy is of the opin-
ion that in order to get good street car
service. better repairs and a universal
transfer system out of the railway
company it would not be advisable to
use the tax system at this time.
ct believe that we are doing our
duty and doing the people of the city
a great favor if we obtain better serv-
ice on all lines. get our street. cross
ings repaired and get the universal
transfer system in USE If we tax the
railway 1 see no reason why we should
not tax the telegraph companies and
all pole lines in the city. 1 haven't
had time to think the matter over and
will not make definite answer at this
time"
Commissioner Holman said: "I
think that a scheme of this kind is
legitimate and permissible"
what do you think about it?" was
asked Commissioner Bone.
'I don't think any thing about it,
snapped the city official in answer
Mayor Billiard could not be inter-
viewed on the subject.
The commissioners will have a
chance to make known their ideas at

TAX STREET CARS
Commissioner Miller Would I'm
pose a License.
Claims Company Should Pay
City $25 a Car.
UP MONDAY MORNING.
Ordinance Will Be Presented at
This Time.
All Others Pay License for U.s.
ing the Streets.
UP MONDAY MORNING.

The next move of the city commits
sioners will be to fix a tax on the To-
peka Railway company for every car
that is used on the street car lines in
Topeka. At the regular meeting of the
city commissioners. Monday morning an
ordinance will be presented to the
commissioners by Commissioner Miller
which will call for a tax of $25 a year
for each car in service in the city
Mr. Miller has signified his intention
of supporting an ordinance of that kin-I
and he has asked City Attorney Raj
st0n to draw up the ordinance at once.
Although it is not known what altera-
tions might be made or suggested by
the other city commissioners, it is
thought at this time that the ordinance
will be received favorably as it will
stand under the authorship of Com
missioner Miller.
Claiming that all other cities tax
their street railways. that Topeka re-
chise, that the street car company has
the free use of the streets much to the
disadvantage of others who pay licenses
and that it is only right and fair that a
tax per car be made, H. P. Miller has
formed a plan for the new tax ordi-
nance.
The remaining city commissioners
refused to make their ideas known at
this time. The reason for their re-
kusal is not known. Commissioner
Tandy was reserved in his answers,
Commissioner Holman made a slight
comment and Commissioner Bone
snapped a negative answer to all that
was asked him.
The City Gets Nothing.
In speaking of his new scheme, Mr..
Miller said:
1.-THE street railway obtained their
franchise from the city for nothing. 1t
never has cost them cent. There has
tbeen a provision that the city receive
"a certain per cent above a certain
amount of the earnings but the city
has not been able to collect any of this
