Taxicab Jurisdiction.

The District Commissioners. in their
capacity as public utility commission
ers, are seeking means to acquire, II
they have not already, jurisdiction over
the matter Of taxicab rates. The COM
panies deny this jurisdiction on the
ground that they are not common car
riers within the scope of the public
utilities act, contending that they are
private vehicle hiring corporations,
maintaining no public stands at which
all Corners can be served and operat-
ing solely on the basis Of direct con-
tracts with individual patrons. If this
contention can be sustained the taxi
cab companies can fix their rates as
they please, even as livery estab-
lishment can make any charge whatever
1t may desire for horse-vehicle service.
The Commi ssioners on the other hand
are pointing to the fact that the taxi
companies do in truth maintain pub
lie stations at the hotels and at the
railroad station, and that all corners are
served at such points. The taxi COM
panies rejoin that these stations are
operated through private arrangements.

that they are in no wise subject to

1.-THE World Is
My Spy

and I pay the highest price for in
formation said James Keene. the
wizard of Wall street, when asked
why he succeeded where others met
disaster.
Keene bought and sold on the
best information he could get-he
won where others failed.
A true rule for stocks and bonds
is equally good for everyday life
for buying clothing, furnishings,
or for every need.
Information is not high. The
world comes to you through the
advertising columns Of The Star.
1t tells you where goods can be
had and what they are selling for.
1t gives true information. for the
merchants know they are judged
by what they say in their adver-
Using.
Read the advertising in The Star
today. This is the bargain month Of
the year. 1t Is particularly SO this
year, because merchants and manu.
facturers are anticipating tariff
changes by lessening stocks.
The man or woman who makes
the dollars count is the one who
buys on the best obtainable infor-
nation.
There is no better "WHO'S WHO"
or WHATS WHAT" than the ad-
vertising columns of The Star.
