CUT OFF TRAINS
Frisco Wants to CurIaiI Its Service i'll
the State.

War expenses are being urged III an
application by TIE Frisco railway com =
pany for permission to withdraw six
passenger trains from service in Kan
sas. In a hearing before the publ,
utilities commission, officials of the
Frisco contend that six important
trains operated in Kansas are main
tanning service at a loss and are each
month pi,ing UP a deficit for the COM
pany.
Gross revenues of some of the pas
Senger trains are but so cents a mile,
attorneys for the Frisco told the COM
mission. They cited one of the trains
of but 100 passengers over a 1O0mile
route, or an average of one passenger
for every mile. Another instance of
trains running in opposite directions
showed but eighty passengers over the
100 miles of road.
1t was urged that the high cost of
equipment, labor and operating ex-
penses compelled the road to operate
the trains at a loss to the company.
Paying Var Prices Now.
War time prices for all materials
and equipment add to the loss in
operation of these trains. it was urg-
ed. The road asked permission to
discontinue all of the six passenger
trains. Commercial organizations and
firms in the affected districts APP
peared before the commission to pro-
test against removal of the trains.

OUT OF CIVIL SERVICE
Oil Inspectors Do Not Have to Take
Exams to Get Jobs.

= Senator B. S. Paulen has succeeded
IN lifting his state oil inspection de-
partment from tie supervision and
jurisdiction of the state civil service
c mmission. In a ruling this after

oil inspectors from civil service pend

which Paulen secured. In a lengthy
opinion, the civil service commission
states that examinations are technical

he desired upon the former exemption
list.

TO WALL OUT NOISE
Family Living Next to Printing Plant
Cannot Sleep at Night.

With the state printing plant run
ming day and night. much new ma
chinery added and making more noise,
the family OF Frank Bowen again
claims sleeplessness and the wall
built by Bowen between the printing
plant and Ii home is not sufficient in
height to guarantee q good night
rest. So Bowen has employed brick
masons who are building the wall ten
feet higher.
The present height of the wall is
twenty-five feet. When the new addi-
ton is completed the wall will be
thirty-five feet in height. Fire Chief
Joseph Hanlon has examined the wall,
ten feet additional may be added
without endangering Bowens home
or the printing plant at the corner of
Tenth and Jackson streets.
