gation of the financial affairs of the Connecticut company, so that the whole state might know its real financial condition. It is unfair to them to pay exorbitant rates for transportation in order to bolster up a bankrupt road. I believe that the best interests of all require that the Connecticut company should, if it cannot operate at a reasonable rate of fare under present conditions. be forced into the hands of a receiver, the same as any other business or not meet it's obligations There are a number of motor bus owners who have invested their all in order that the city might have adequate and reasonable means of transportation, and they are as much entitled to any consideration to protect themselves as is the Connecticut company, which insists upon unreasonable rates of fare in order to continue operation of it's system.
 apparently the only redress wticr, the citizens of this city have in this matter is through an appeal by the slo.oT nus operators who have been dened the right to continue in bus mess. The city should very properly be represented at such hearings through tie city attorney who could aid and assist those appealing in every possible way believe it would be perfectly in order and high " desirable for your honorable body to pass a. resolution calling upon the city attorney to cooperate with such bus owners as may so appeal, so as to secure adequate and reasonable transp ortation to those requiring the same; and also a resolution petition ing the Public Utilities Commission CTS to hold another hearing relative to the routes originally contained in the recommendations of your honor- apie body to said commission.
 I would further recommend the appolntmetn of a committee of your honorable body with which commit tees from other organizations in the city would cooperate, in insisting before the Public Utilities Commis- Son that the Connecticut company reduce it's fare to five cents, and to secure such other relief as is possi- bIe in the premises

tors at Fault, Officials Say.

Charging the railroad administra-
ton with showing discrimination in
the appointment of freight cars, the
Kansas Flour Mills company. having
mills at Wichita, Enterprise and a
number of other points in Kansas,
has brought suit in the district court
at Wichita against James C. Davis.
director general of railroads, asking
damages of $27,265.74.
The company alleges that in 1919
the Santa Fe railroad failed to fur
nish sufficient cars to ship the prod
ucts of the Moses Brothers mill at
Great Bend, which the Kansas Flour
Mills company operated. and that, as
consequence, the mill had to shut
down part of the time.
The allegation is made that the rail-
road company failed to furnish the
mill its proportionate share of avail
able cars; that the mill received less
transportation service than its COM
petitors in the distribution of available
cars
This is not the first suit of this
kind which the Santa Fe Railroad
company hasfhad to defend. Specula-
ton on the part OF grain dealers who
suffered heavy losses by holding wheat
when they had figured on a gain, is
the real cause of the trouble, and not
the shortage of or a discrimination in
the distribution Of cars, railroad Of

no attempt to secure any victims from
the river. e,t---y. ~ d,

loss was regained. The sea board reported
only a fair export demand, but advices
from the gulf intimated that a large bust

The situation is gradually working into a
stronger position and If early spring wheat
movement is as well taken as many expect
1t will be, a higher range of prices is more
likely to be established.

market was independently weak. Shorts,

pressure of hedging sales and liquidation
