STILL RIDE FOR THREE CENTS
But Orders From Washington May
Hike Kansas Rates

Kansans still may travel for three
cents a mile-within Kansas. How
much longer it will be unnecessary to
pay the interstate passenger rate OF
3.6 cents mile depends on decls-
ion from Washington. Likewise
freight rates may be further In
creased to equal the 80 per cent IN
terstatp advance.
An order is expected from Wash
ington within thirty to sixty days on
the carriers appeal to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, hearing OF
which was concluded last week. If
the order should be adverse, the
Kansas industrial court has laid the
basis for an appeal to the United
States supreme court, by moving, at
the hearing, to dismiss the appeal
on the ground that the transporta-
tion act is unconstitutional in at
tempting to take all rate making
powers away from state commits

ASK BANKS TO CONTRIBUTE
County Teachers Association Wants
Track Meets to Be Free

Every bank in the county has been
asked to contribute not less than S6
to help finance the county track
meets. A letter making the request
was sent to each bank in Dickinson.
At the last County Teachers asso-
citation meeting ii was the wish of
the teachers that the county meets
could be held without any admission
at the gate so that every boy and
girl i'm the county could have the op-
portunitS of attending the meet.
The expenses Of the meet are for
medals, cups. ribbons. printing,
officials and pins. The expenses run
to 5000 part of which has been
borne by the Abilene Commercial
clubs and the county commissioners,
and the balance by single admission.
If the meets are thrown open to the
bows and girls of the county there
would need to be raised about Sl4o
in addition to what these two organ
izations contribute.
The teachers voted to ask the
banks of the county each to contrib
ute from SO to SO to cover the ex-
penses of the meet. This is not a
demand, the letter points out, but
they would appreciate it If the banks
could help make the two meets sue
cessful and at the same time free TO
every boy and girl In the county.
This can be done If each bank Will
contribute not less than SO. The
