the road let down the bars to all sorts
Of rail competition. Without a nickel
invested in the highway over which
they haul freight and passengers, the
motor operators have had a grand and
glorious timeA Without penny re-
quired for maintenance of way or
terminal facilities. the business iof
sneaking business right from under
the noses of the rail companies was
revelry and perpetual delight In fact
the laugh became hilarious when IL
was recalled that the railroads paid
thousands of dollars in construction
assessments each year for its mainte-
nance.
out along the concrete boulevard
to Lawrence the motor bus folks have
had one joyous pastime., In Topeka
the city collects a special license fee
from the regular taxi companies for
operation of cars over the city's paved
streets. But operating between two
towns the motor bus folks should
worry. They may use both Topeka
and Lawrence paved streets as well as
the concrete highway for the mere
payment of their annual license tax.
Nor does the matter of terminal
facilities cause serious thought Hotel
lobbies of the two towns provide wait
ing rooms as well as heat and pro-
lection from the weather. for car op-
orators and passengers
Provisions of Law.
NOW the motor operators lace d
state law. which may contain all or
part of these provisions:
Authority to operate only on ap-
proval of the state public utilities COM
mission.
Publication and approval by the
state commission of all passenger and
freight rates.
Meeting of rigid commission trans |
portation requirements in the matter
of publication and maintenance of
schedules. payment to the state or To- |
cal tax districts of special fees to be |
used in upkeep of highways.
Requirements that all motor trans |
portation be by incorporated agencies
which shall provide bonds both for |
protection of communities thru which /
they operate, but for benefit of pat
rons.
Construction or leasing of perma-
nent terminal facilities as well as op-
Grafton of passenger and freight /
depots in all town and cities Lhru
which motor transportation IS oper
ated.
Authority in the pubic utilities
to determine routes over
which motor freight and passenger
business may be operated and final
decision as to whether operation may
be permitted in opposition to estab- \
l:shed steam and electric lines in the
benefit dirstricts. A similar law is
now in operation in Colorado.

TAX ROAD BUSES
Bill in Next Legislature to Pro-
tect State Highways.
Competing With Railroads on
License Tag to Stop.
TOPEKA-LAWRENCE EXAMPLE
Rail Lines Help Pay for the
i Free Concrete Paving. =
No More Easy Sailing for Rub
ber Tire Rides.
BY A. L. sHuLTZ.


Motor bus operators might find it
both interesting and profitable TO put
the flivvers in the barn for a few
weeks and watch the legislature this
winter. Unless someone soaps the
road the motor bus freight and pas
eenger business may be bumpy high
way for the fellow with a 81 equity
in S12 worth of tin and bolts and
rubber tires and a longing to become
transportation king. 1t looks as tho
the legislature may really tear down
a bunch of high and lofty ideals to
put the railroads out of business thru
free and indiscriminate use OF the
states hard surface road system.
Some of the farmer members who
are coming to Topeka next month
have a real crouch on the subject of
the jitney freight and passenger. busi-
ness Some of the members are helping
to pay for the expensive. road projects
and have personal little stories about
being pushed off the, right-of-way by
the high flying road hogs who were
engaged in the laudible pursuit of TAX
ing a passenger 70 the next town or
giving a load of furniture a lift down
the road. Some of these same MEM
bers have made mental calculations
TO the effect that the town boys with
their bunch of rafting rivets and bolts
are really doing very little to supply
the township treasury with a road
maintenance fund. So out of the
grouping of thoughts and conclusions
may come several bills that will give
the motor truck and bus folks an un-
comfortable fifty days.
a Bill From Shs.snee.
Representative-elect Rude of the
north Shawnee cCLnty district will
present one of ths bills tending to reg
uiate and cont.o1 the motor traffic in
both freight and passenger business
His bill las not been outlined defi-
niteiy. several other measures are be-
ing r-epared. In the meantime enact !
N ats passed by legislatures in other
5Cates are being studied-and Kansas
may write n general law that will en-
body choice features from other states !
as well q few original ideas of her
own.
Under the present free and easy sys- |
tenn il is merely necessary to buy an ]
annual license tag and start business |
Any county where a good roads sys- /
tenn has been established and there is \
a fair traffic between towns is a good /
and sufficient location. The operator |
