BLAME THE MOTOR CARS NOW
Railroads Find New Argument for
Higher Passenger Rates-Less
Local Business Now.

Kansas railroads are preparing to
make a showing that the great num-
Der of motor cars owned in the state
is chiefly responsible for the loss in
revenues on local business. Silas Old
ham, travelling passenger agent for
the ST. Louis & San Francisco Rail-
road. was in Topeka recently getting
the motor car registration in all the
counties through which the Frisco is
operated in the state.
Some time ago the Union Pacific
and the Rock Island obtained similar
information about the counties
through which they operate. The COM
parties obtained the figures not only
for this year, but for each year that
the state has maintained the motor Ii
cense department and has kept track
of the exact number of cars in the
state.
The companies propose to make
showing to the public utilities COM
mission and also to the Interstate
Commerce Commission on the need for
a higher passenger rate than two
cents a mile. By taking the number
of motor cars in each county in the
different years and also figuring the
passenger receipts for the stations in
the counties the railroads hope to
make showing as to one of the big
causes of the passenger receipt de-
creases in the last few years.
There are now over sixty-five thou
sand motor cars in the state and it is
said by railroad officials here that at
some points the local passenger re-
ceipts have been cut 80 per cent in
three years.

hoops should be arranged. and how
each hoop should be bound with cord
to the adjoining two. When the
hoops have been connected, it is only
necessary to get a clothespole for
support. to complete the rack Drive
a nail into the upper end of the
pole, and connect the nail and each
hoop with strong cord; then place
ground, with the center over a hole
made for the end of the pole support,
and set the support in this hole. Fig.

upper and lower set of hoops. and
how they are spaced. You can tie the
strings to the upper hoops before the
pole is set in position, if you like.
When the rack has been put up, plant
