Bus Transportation
 Is Not Successful

Atlantic City, Oct 25.-The bus as a transportation medium in large cities is not proving a menace to electric railways, according to delegates to the American Electric Railway Associa ton convention. Few bus lines either owned by street railway companies or by independent operators, are breaking even, 1t was said.
 The electric railway is making in roads on the short haul traffic of steam railroads The movement of freight on electric railways, particularly on in terurban lines in the middle west in re- cent years, IS enormous, it was stated.

When the railroad companies
build piece of road, they expect
that some day this piece of work is
to pay for itself. They expect
that every pound that is hauled
over this road is to pay it's share of
the first cost and the maintenance
of not alone the roadbed and the
rails but also it's share of the roll
ing stock on the road, the coal
used in the engines, upkeep of
depots, etc. In other words they
don't expect to give any freight or
passengers a free ride over the
road. But most people expect the
state or county to build and main
tain the roads, and that they can
use them as much or as little as
they please. Were railroads run on
that principle, the companies would
all go broke sooner or later. There
should be some way in which the
users of the roads should pay their
just share of the expense. The
gasoline tax seems to have solved
the problem. The wear on the
road will be apportioned according
TIC the amount of gasoline used. The
heavy truck will use more gallons
per mile than the light automobile,
and therefore will pay more for its
use of the road. The theory seems
to be all right, and the burden will
be more evenly apportioned in this

Reliable statistics show that with

lie securities national, state, dis
trict-the difference in the earning
power of the average tax-free
security and that of taxed industrial
property is about as 8 to 5; indus

the tax-free holdings. This forces

thing that is made by industry; and
prices are now and will remain
high until all investments are
brought to parity, by taxing all IN
comes from investments alike. Why
should there be any tax-exemption
in the United States?
Statistics show us that every
third home in the United States is
on farm. This means that about
seven million families of this coun-
try are farm households. These
facts were, brought out by S. M.
Kennedy, vice president of the
Southern California Edison Com
pany.
The day has passed when farm
ers will be satisfied with conditions
as they were twenty years ago and
electricity is constantly gaining in
use for farm work of all kinds.
In one western state 20 per cent
of the farmers now use electricity
in varying degrees to light the
buildings and furnish power for
milk separators, churns, water sys-
TENS, and for cultivating the soil
and threshing the seed crops.
If all the people of our country
were to learn by heart the rules re-
garding fire prevention which Fire
Commissioner brennan of New
York City has suggested for memo
rization by the school children of
that city, so that what these rules
REQUIRE becomes instructive, we
would see a material decrease IN
our $500, 100000 annual fire loss.
The rules (which the Fire Com
missioner suggests do not ask for
more than ordinary care. He sug-
gests that matches be kept always
in metal containers; ne warns
against throwing remnants of light
ed matches, cigars and cigarettes
away without seeing where they
fall: he tells one not to try to start
fires with kerosene, nor to go into
dark closets, bedrooms or cellars
with lighted candles or matches and
not to use lighted candles on Christ
mas trees; he further cautions
against keeping gasoline, naptha or
benzine in the house, and ends
the list of twenty-one rules with
the commandment: do not look
for gas leaks with lighted match
or candle.o

Probably the greatest service
rendered the American people by
the universal introduction and use
of the radio is the conservation of
the human voice.
The decline of public oratory and
the tendency to increase, the nasal
twang in ordinary conversation had
almost deprived Our Country of the
nobler uses of the speaking organs
in public and private life.
The universal demand for clear
voiced speaking into the transmitter
of the radio is restoring the carry
ing efficiency of the vocal organs.
The same influences are at work
among singers, and clear, beautiful
tones of the vocal organs are in the
highest demand.
For enunciators to large crowds
and for the cheapest radio in the
poorest home there is universal APP
probation of clear speaking and
understandable vocal music.

NEW YORK, March 20.-a cam. paign for the entry of the United States into the league of nations and the world court, was started tonight by the league of nations non-partisan as. sociation at a dinner which was at tended by 1000 persons, cluding 54 foreign guests.
 Among speakers who urged American participation in the league were Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor; Dr. Charles H Levermore, winner of the Box peace award General Tasker H.

 Declaring the psychological moment had arrived for league of nations drive, Mrs Cutler, as president of the woman's prologue council, explained the campaign was intended to bring about Americas entry into the world court and league with reservations ac ceptable to the American people. The campaign will be waged on a basis oi non-partisanship and upon the prom ise that the covenant of the league oi nations, 'has no more to do with party politics than the constitution of tho United States" Mrs. Cutie said.
 "We would wage the campaign on { basis of patriotism" she asserted, "ant the watch word will be pure Ameri canism," because the covenant of thu league of nations is founded on Ameri can principles and American standards of action.

ELECTRIC LIGHT
 TRUST CHARGED BY GOVERNMENT
Suit Filed Against Gen. eral Electric And .
 Other Companies

CLEVELAND, O., March 20.-Con- spiracy in restraint of trade in viola tion of the Sherman antitrust law, was charged against the General Elec- tric company and it's system for manu- featuring and distributing electric light bulbs today in a suit filed in federal court here by United States District Attorney A. E. Bernstein.
 The petition demands that sys- tenn of contracts existing between the General Electric company and the sev- eral companies engaged in the distribu- tion of lamps manufactured by the company be adjuged violation of the Sherman antitrust law and that they be ordered annulled.
 Contract System Assailed
 The contract system by which the company distributes incandescent bulbs is declared by the petition to have been created as device to defeat the pro- visions of the antitrust law and to prevent competition. It declares that the business of the firm amounts to probably S50,000,000 a year.
 With the General Electric company, the Westinghouse Electric and Manu- featuring company and the Westing- house Lamp company are named as CO., defendants.
 The latter corporation is character ized in the suit as "but bureau or di- vision of the parent company's (the Westinghouse Electric and Manufac- turing company business"
 Monopoly Is Alleged
 The three companies are alleged to form combination or monopoly of the electric light business.
 The suit was filed under the direc- tion of Attorney General Daugherty.
 The suit harks back to patent rights claimed by the General Electric com pany for exclusive manufacture of Tungsten filaments used in the bet ter type of electric light bulbs.
 The General Electric's exclusive con- trol of them, the petition ayers, vests in them practical monopoly of the manufacture and sale of electric lamp bulbs.
