Jitneys Line Up
For Final Fight,
F acing Big Odds

With the time near at hand
when their old bonds expire and
with the state refusing to allow
bonding companies to write new
ones for them, jitney drivers In
Tacoma and throughout the state
are banding together today TO
fight to the last ditch against the
attempt of combined capital to
put them out of business.
r. A. Wilson, secretary of the
Tacoma Auto association, Will
leave this week to visit various
cities in the state and will line
up all drivers in a solid front for
the final show down.
The jitneys will not be forced
out of business without a fight
that will make people take no.
tice," he said today.
Bonds Expire Soon.
Most of the old bonds expire
in April and May, said Wilson.
And now, through the action of
the state insurance commission
er, they aer finding 1t absolutely
impossible to obtain new ones.
Five we'll established bonding
companies Of the east and mid
die west have met with the re-
quirements of the Washington
law and have offered to write the
bonds required OF the jitney men.
But state officials refuse to all
low them to do business in Wash
ington. This refusal has been
upheld by the court at private
hearing in Olympia.
Backed BY Unions.
Combined capital is putting
the pinchers on the jitney. But
here's how Wilson says the jitney
men intend to fight back:
Backed by organized labor
they are taking the whole case
before the U. S. supreme court
at Washington, ID. c. They de-
clare the means that have been
taken to kill them are in VIOLA
ton of their constitutional rights.
II driven to the last ditch. they
find they cannot get new bonds
on the date the old ones expire,
all of the jitneys will keep on
running anyway. Officers will
then have the job of arrestiug
them by the hundreds.
Law Unconstitutional.
at isn't that we don't want to
get new bonds" said Secretary
Wilson today. 1--WE are anxious
to obtain them; but we can't get
them for love or money.
"We are forced to live up to
tn requirements of law that
cannot be fulfilled nor obeyed,
What would other automobilessI
and trucks do If they were re-
CURED to furnish bonds, yet there
were no bonds to be had any
And, when you stop to think
of it, why shouldn't all automo-
biles be bonded? Have not peo-

AN EASY WAY TO end
CATARRH FOREVER
Simple Home Treatment Destroys
Germs of This Dangerous
niSaasa


The reason why 80 many peo-
pie who suffer from Catarrh new
er seem able to get cured is that
they are continually seeking the
momentary relief of sprays,
douching, greasy creams, oint-
ments, etc. Such things do open
up the swollen nostrils and clear
the head temporarily, beside stop
ping for while the disgusting
blowing, hawking, splitting and
choking, but they never cure. To
drive out Catarrh for good you
have to get down to It's real cause.
Catarrh is a germ disease. The
air is always full of catarrh
germs thrown Of by one person
and absorbed by another, and
when the system does fail to
throw off such germs they find
permanent Judgement in the nose,
throat and head and multiply rap
idly.
The germs of catarrh can best
be destroyed by inhaling the pure
medicated air of Hyomei (pro-
nounced High-o-me). This splen-
did and powerful combination of
oil of Eucalyptus with other
healing agents has wonderful
germicidal action. You breathe
its air into your nose, throat and
lungs by means of a small hard
rubber inhaler which the Crown
Drug Co. and other leading drug
gists in this vicinity supply with
every complete treatment. This
medicated air is certain death to
the germs of Catarrh and drives
them completely out of your sys-
tenn and when the germs are de-
stroyed the catarrh with all its
disagreeable symptoms will stop.
Even two or three minutes use
will give refreshing relief, while
II you will use 1t two or three
times day for a few weeks 1t
will completely Danish catarrh and
every symptom of catarrh. AS
Hyomei is pleasant to breathe and
is always sold by druggists every
where with a positive guarantee
of successful results or money
back, surely no Catarrhal sufferer
should go long before trying this
simple home remedy. 8
