Street Railway "Skip-StopT System
Would Create Great Dissatisfaction


The government order directed to
the state fuel administrations calling
for a. street car "skip-stop system
would cause no end of dissa sfsfaction
in Topeka, il is believed here today.
Furthermore, it is believed. under the
conditions as they exist in Topeka, the
order will not apply here
The Topeka Railway company re-
ceives power from the Edison COM
paRy. The Edison company is not
only a power plant but a heating plant
and steam Is utilized for power pur-
poses without waste 1t is not
thought by officials of the railway
by the "skip-stop" operation system
in this city.
The "skfp-stop" plan means that
cars stop only every other block or
that certain cars stop in one block and
others at another. This applies TO bet
ter advantage in the larger cities,
where the cars run on short schedules.
In Topeka where a 15-rirute sched-
ule is adopted on most lines. and 5
and 10-ninute schedule on others. the
'skip-stops" would be only a handf
cap to the passenger as well as the
operating company. a4~
Stops could be saved by doing away
with the midbiock points on Kansas
avenue, but in the resident districts,
where in bad weather patrons would
have to add at least a block TO their
walking distance. the system would be
unsatisfactory and without practical
value

KEEP YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

Our attention has been called to the
fact that certain solicitors for oil
stock. etc. are working in this section.
and that their chief motive is to ex-
change their stock for liberty bonds,
In this connection we wish to impress
upon the people of this section that it
is not the wish of the government that
the individual holders of liberty bonds
dispose of them in this manner. thus
putting the bonds in the possession of
the smooth and greedy money sharks.
You are part Of this government, and
when you bought your liberty bonds
you promised to lend Uncle Sam your
money during the present war crisis.
BY disposing of your bond, unless
it is absolutely necessary that you do
so. you are not displaying the proper
patriotic spirit, and you are thus
evidencing the fact that you don't con-
slider the loan to your government as
gilt edged. Your government is guild
ing the destines of this great nation.
and has asked the true American for
financial help in the form of loan
backed by the best security in the
world-and it is not treating your
government square to turn around and
switch your loan to some individual
money shark. who, instead of show
