CHANTING ROAD TAX ON INTERSTATE BUSSES

Again interstate bus owners have lost in their effort to avoid paying a special mileage tax in Connecu- cut, Which means, of course. that they arc supposed to contribute more than intrastate buses to the maintenance of the highways, If that is where the money Is applied. Here is the law, found In Part II, section I. Chapter 254 Of the public acts of 1925:

 shall annually ''' file with the
 tax commissioner ''' sworn
 statement s'' of the number of
 miles of highway in the state
 over which such motor vehicle
 shall have been operated during
 the year ss' and shall pay to
 the treasurer, as an excise on
 the use of such highway, one
 cent for each mile so used"
 The excess verbiage has been eliminated in the foregoing, but the meaning should be clear-or as clear as laws usually are written. Whether the law means cent a mile for the total travelled during the year. or a cent a mile for each fixed route is left to the reader to decide. We are not mind readers.
 Part II of this chapter does not apply to the busses operated within the state, this being left to Part l Of the chapter. The tax on interstate busses Is three per cent of the gross receipts.
 The reason for difference in the taxation system for the two types of busses operated is based upon the impossibility of taxing bus com panies operated from other states in any other manner than through the payment of a mileage excise tax. If the state doesn't get something out of them in this manner 1t must per init the use Of it's roads practically free of charge, although the outside bus owners claim they contribute "just as much" to the maintenance of the highways as the bus owners operating within the state-possibly through the purchase of gasoline, etc.
 The interstate bus business Is en- tirely unregulated by Congress. The only manner in which a state can collect for the use of its highways is through some such tax as that in- flicted in Connecticut. And 1t must be said that Connecticut was one of the first states, If not the very first, to find way to meet the situation. So far the state has won the two legal bouts which followed the law. It now remains to be seen whether the interstate bus owners care to take their contention 10 higher tribunal. Possibly 1t would serve the public interest to have them do so in order to settle the issue per manently.

nine years of European peace, finds
the former German Kaiser still
clinging to the slender hope that
the Hohenzollerns may some day
rule again in all their glory over
Germany, according to reports
among persons who have come in
contact with the one.time war lord.
The former Kaiser has not been
well, and those who have seen him
recently say that his once soldierly
form is bent with age and worry.
1t is said that his illness has been
mental, to some extent, as well as
physical. However, he is in better
health at present.
William ponders great deal over
the past, especially over the col
lapse OF his throne and his en-
forced exile. He il reported to have

and beauty.
Partly because Of the requirements
Of the medium.color woodblock print
ing, and largely because Of an inner.
ent sense Of design and artistic fit
ness, the great artists of Japan of
the Ukiyoye School set forth both
landscape and figure subjects with
minimum Of detail and with an amaz-
ing grasp of the essential. 1t is for
this reason that their works are
priced and are valuable. For those
who wish to assemble a collection or
who wish to make a more careful
study of the japanese print 1t may be
said that first editions are now very
scarce and very expensive, owing
partly to the fact, curiously enough,
that they were originally so cheap as
not to be priced. But there Is a wide
