WHO is MY BROTHER?

Mayor McMullin of Olathe, has ask
ed the Independent to express his ap-
probation on behalf of the Town of
Olathe. for the cooperation of the
Japanese in our midst in assisting
them during the loss following the fire
at the school His expression fol-
lows:
As result Of the loss of our grade
school building by fire the Japanese
Of the Valley have seen fit to collect
a sum of money to be used for the
their clothing and school equipment
in the fire. The sum contributed was
nearly sixty dollars.
Since this contribution came en-.
tirely unsolicited you may be sure
that 1t was a genuine surprise to the
people of Olathe. Such spontaneous
action on the part OF our Japanese
friends cannot but encourage the
friendly feeling that already exists be-
tween these people from across the
waters and ourselves. We feel sure
that there are times when these peo-
pie must suffer the pangs OF home
sickness. feeling that they are almost
alone and in a strange land. Their
action shows that they are actuatel
by the same emotions that govern
every right thinking person. We wish
to express our gratitude for the
money they donated and our appreci.
alton for the feeling that was behind

provements will become necessary
until travel on the public highways
will be equal in luxury to any pull
man service in the country.
Particularly in California, and in
some sections of Colorado, has motor
service manifested its good influences
upon communities. 1t has helped to
transform small villages into thriving
towns. 1t has converted the rural in
to the urban and furnished an impet-
us to continued improvements. 1t car
ries the city into the country and
brings the country closer to town.
By it's rapid exchange and delivery
commodities find new fields to exploit
and the general business of the
country is materially aided thereby.
The argument of distance and incon-
venience has been annihilated.
Aside from the general welfare, its
influence locally is well worthy of
favorable consideration. Take the
Motor Transportation Company, now
operating its White Bus Line between
different points on the Western
Slope. From a small and expensive
beginning it has developed into a
business concern of Importance and
necessity 1t employs constantly 10
men, and their families 1t has &C
quired property rights at Montrose,
Delta and Grand Junction. 1t main
tains a corps of able assistants. 1t
pays out enormous sums of money
every year in wages, taxes, main
-tenance, repair and operation. All of
this money is spent on the Western
Slope. By prompt, ready and effici-
ent service it can and does afford
daily communication between the
wholesale and retail merchants.
Deliveries can be made and they are
made, within a few hours after an
order has been filed. Pleased Gus
toners are the life of any business
and the merchant who can please a
customer by quick delivery of an
article is the one that courts success.
And success has no rival. Individu-
ais may have the prejudices, but even
these must disappear in the prompt
ings of fair Judgment.
Some people offer criticism against
motor lines using the public highways
for business purposes, but this is up
on the assumption that they pay
little or no tax for the privilege.
Legislative bodies in several of the
states have sought for means of
imposing a fair tax upon those who
use the public highways, whether it
be for pleasure or for profit, joy ride
or a business undertaking. This was
reached by a gasoline tax. The great
er the quantity Of gasoline used, the
greater the tax paid. In this way the
motor transportation companies pay
much higher tax than any others
using the public highway. This is
collected by the state, and then pro-
rated among the counties according
to the number of gallons sold therein.
Other taxes are paid upon property
valuations. and upon income. In other
words no transportation company
avoids, or seeks to avoid, payment of
any and all taxes lawfully imposed
against them.
In view of the general commercial
importance that motor transportation
has assumed in our business life, the
continued improvements that follow
in their wake, the economic value
they are to each community wherein
they operate. they should be readily
encouraged that even greater improve
ments may accrue, and a greater pub
lie service thus rendered.
