pie preferred TO use the jitney rather
than to patronize tho trolleys that the
receipts Of the trolley car companies
fell of alarmingly in many localities
IL is not hard to zee that because OF
such things there has sprung up in many
communities determined opposition
TO the jitney business, and this opposi.
Mobile. for example. it is declared that
the trolley people have organized a force
Of canvassers whom they employ TO drum
up trade. but this ia probably the least
vexatious Of the troubles Of the jitney
people.
They are required in most commune
ties to take out licenses before they are
allowed to transact business as com
mon carriers. The prices OF these
licenses vary in different, localities
higher and none lower have been re-
ported. hut the highest OF these is high
enough to provoke a vigorous protest
from the smaller jitney operators.
In Beaumont. Tex, for example. elab-
crate regulations for jitney traffic have
only recently been enacted The appli.
cant for license must state all facts
as TO his car his route. the number OF
passengers he can carry and the hours
during which he proposes to run.
He pays according to the seating
capacity Of his car. If he can carry five
he pays $40 year. II ten it is $50. and s.
for each seat over ten in number. He
may not carry more than he can seat
and no passengers may ride on the run
ming board of the car. The word bus
must be printed on the car in large
letters He must give bond of sos
for every person injured by his ca
and $4,000 for two persons injured.
The bond feature of the Beaumon

the most onerous condition imposed
