MR. HARPER TALKS WITH
CAPITAL TRACTION HEAD
Chamber of Commerce President
Who Favors Merger, Gratifed
After Seeing Mr.. Hamilton.

Robert n. Harper. chairman of the
Washington Utilities noteholders'
committee and president of the Cham
Der of Commerce, who more than any
one else has been responsible for
fathering the merger suggestion as a
solution of the street railway diff
culties of the District, through a mer-
ger of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company and the Capital
Traction Company, was in conference
for over an hour this morning with
| George E. Hamilton. president of the
latter company.
While neither Of these persons
would go into details of the conver-
station, Mr. Harper was in good humor
after the meeting and declared that
he had certainly had a very satis-
sfactory consultation"
That the initial confab was ''satis-
factory" Is some encouragement at
least. 1t Is probable that another
meeting between the same parties
will be arranged for in the near flu
ture.
Mr.. Harper holds that a merger
cannot be forced, but believes that if
the Capital Traction officials are
wiling a basis of agreement can be
reached.

HOUSE CONSIDERING
RETIRING TEACHERS
Chairman Mapes Explains
Measure Applying to Dis
| trict Scho0i.
Mr.. JOHNSON OPPOSES

The House today has under con-
sideration the bill fathered by Chair
man Mapes of the House District
committee providing for the estab-
lishment of retirement service for
teachers in the public schools in the
District of Columbia. Action was de-
layed by a point of order that there
was no quorum present.
Chairman Mapes described the bill,
ment of the fund the teacher and the
government contribute practically
on a fifty-fifty basis.
Representative johnson Opposes.
The opposition was led by Repre-
sentative Ben Johnson of Kentucky.
He first described the tax rate of the
District as the smallest anywhere
throughout the country. He said
there was an enormous surplus to the
credit of the District which must be
disSipated in order that the District
may continue to draw a percentage
of support from the federal govern
uent- He said that the citizens as
sociations are anxious to see this
surplus dissipated.
Representative johnson told the
House that whatever is-paid in pen
sions to the school teachers of the
District, one-half would be paid by
levying d tax on all the states, and
that school teachers in other states
would be forced to pay a part OF that
tax. He claimed that this would be
unfair legislation in forcing all other
teachers to contribute a pension fund
for District teachers, while the Dis
trict teachers contributed nothing to-
ward the pension fund for the other
teachers throughout the country.

that no man ought to be conniving to

Life Annuity.

Upon retirement the teacher would
receive for life an annuity composed
of: First, sum which he has pur-
chased out of his salary equal to 1
per cent of his annual basic aaIary
for each year of his whole time of
service, and, second an additional
sum ef SO a year from the govern
ment for each year of his service. In
10 case would a teacher who retires
fo- age receive an annuity of less
than $3.50, and one who retires on
account of disability would receive
not less than $420.
The bill appropriates $4,000 as a
working basis, of which not more
than SIS, 900 Is to be used for clerical
services Chairman Mapes pointed

OPERATING TRUCKS
ON R. R. PRINCIPLES

This is an ETA OF production, which
is another way of saying an era of un-
usual transportation demands" says
g. A. Kissel, president Of the Kissel
Motor Car Company. "In practically
every section OF the country-North,
South, East, and West-motor truck
transportation companies have been
started. and, taking them altogether,
are making good, proving TO be sound
financial investments for the hackers
and economical facilities for Gus
toners.

wholesalers, and manufacturers. as
well as farmers. orChardists, and agrt-
culturists, are more than willing 70
help create transportation facilities in
their neighborhood by patronizinr
those motor truck companies whose
object is to give them reliable trans
pOrtation schedules.
"There are several steps that must
be taken before such motor truck

Sets Example.
The Big Four freight houses in
Cincinnati have set the example. Two
motor truck chassis and about ten
bodies were used with tremendous
success in relieving the railroads of
a large tonnage OF short-haul traffic.
Branch stations received the bodies
which were filled and loaded on the
chassis On a fixed schedule, they
were brought to the terminals and
their contents transferred to through
cars. Under the old system, cars had
to be sent to each Of the branch sta
tions and brought to the terminal by
the engine, seldom more than a quar-
ter filled.
The advantages of this plan over
the old extravagant methods are so
vivid that other large cities through
out the United States are realizing
the tremendous potentialities of the
truck as a feeder TO the railroads, and
are establishing similar systems.

grading bridges, and rails, and is
limited in the amount of traffic il will
hold. II such a branch line does not
pay for itself, il cannot be diverted.
On the other hand. a motor truck
route has no limitations and can
easily be transferred to a more profit
able route if one does not prove sue
cessful.
There is but one resistance to this
transportation millennium and that is
the lack of appreciation of the neces-
sity for good roads. The sooner solid
built national highways are supported
by legislation. the sooner a great fac
tor in the high cost of living will be
reduced"

ably follow, together with the econ
mic advantages of the motor truck
point to a very favorable effect on
the prices of foodstuffs as a result Of
that cooperation.
The use of trucks as feeders to the
railroads up to a distance of 100
miles will release their facilities for
the increasing tonnage that requires
long-distance haulage. 1t has been
specifically proven that bacause OF
the duplication of handling n rail-
road transportation, goods en- be
shipped on short hauls more econom-
ically by motor truck. In few years
the truck will be the standard method
of short distance hauling. BY acting
as a feeder within a radius OF ter
minals, it will provide the railroads
with an increased tonnage and assist
in making complete delivery, since It

they use can be adapted with modi-
fications of course. to the maintenance
of motor truck rolling stock.
"A second step is that of motor
truck drivers and leaders becoming
familiar with the operation OF trucks
Just as the locomotive engineer has
to work his way from fiagman or
switchman up through stoking and
firing to the engineering post, so the
motor truck driver should pursue a
similar succession of steps in IA
miliariZing himself with every detail
such knowledge not only makes
the operation of a motor truck a
scientific matter, conductive to time
and economiZing records, but also
makes the work easier for him. And
it is a known fact that the average
truck driver takes pride in the way
he does his work.
"Other steps are those of motor

Of the business as whole,
