RAIL ACT REVISION
URGED ON PRESIDENT
Traffic League Men Want Way
Paved for Proposed Con-
solidations.

Revision Of the present railroad act
to give the Interstate Commerce Com
mission wider powers in allowing rail.
road consultations was discussed with
President Coolidge today by commit
tee representing the National Indus
trial Traffic League.
The President was advised that the
proper voluntary consultations of the
carriers will not he successfully eff
fected until the law is modified. 1t
was pointed out that the principal diff.
ficulty to be met by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in dealing with
the merger question lies in the pro
vision of the law calling for the draw
ing up of a definite plan by the Com.
mission for series of consultations.
The members of the traffic commit
tee told the President that the legis-
lation they would favor would protect
the interests of minority stockholders
in railroads and at the same time
would not reduce natural competition
between the carriers. In principle,
though. the ideas are Fery similar to
those advanced by the railroads them

and Pennsylvania avenue, Potomac
and NJ streets and Thirty-siXth and
NJ streets.
An interesting point in connection
with these terminals. kindly donated
by the city. is that the bus companies
pay nothing in taxes for their use
except the tax on gasoline, which is
bought most of the time in Maryland
and Virginia, and the price of Dis
trict of Columbia license tag. Some
OF the companies may also be subject
to the personal property tax on motor
vehicles. There is no franchise to be
secured for the operation Of busSes,
however, and consequently no fran
chise tax. Even the tax on owning
property, which might be used by the
bus companies for the sale of trans
portation and as a waiting room for
patrons. is escaped, for the large ma
1ority of the bus companies own no
such property.
The extent of regulation of inter.
state bus traffic is still a question for
congressional decision. Meanwhile
the District Public Utilities Commits
sion's authority over the busses is linn.
tied to a designation of routes to be
followed in the District and certain
specifications regarding safety of
equipment and the maximum size of
vehicles. The Utilities Commission is
not sure that it can deny the applica-
tion of a bus company to enter the
District from another State. All it
can do. in addition to fixing the route,
is to designate stops within the Dis
trict in accordance with its power over
intrastate commerce. In one case the
commission has granted an interstate
bus line permission to engage in intra-
state commerce because its route
covered a locality in town otherwise
untouched by existing transportation
facilities.
Conferences Without Result.
While several of those interested in
the erection of bus terminal have
conferred with officials of the Public
Utilities Commission, which, with the
Commissioners, strongly favors the
project, the conferences have been in
the main confined TO an exchange of
mutually helpful information. The
commission apparently has no power
to make any specifications either in
design or location of a bus terminal
for Washington. Its tacit approval
would be conveyed by rerouting the
bus lines SO that they would terminate
at union bus terminal. It's disap
proval might be conveyed in declining
such rerouting. If two proposals tc
build a bus terminal were submitte ed
simultaneously, it would be interest
ing TO discover how far the commits
sion could go in approving one loca
ton and disappearing the other. MOI

Other Cities Solve Problem.

One CITY solved its bus problem
when the local Chamber Of Commerce
took up the matter on the theory
that a conveniently located and ef1l-
ciently operated bus terminal would
bring business to the city. In this
case the local merchants were assess
ed tor the initial cost. In many other
cases private capital has built bus
terminals and found them good
form of investment, as the conces-
sions alone usually pay the cost OF
ooeration. In one city a stock COM
panv was formed to build and oper-
ate bus terminal and has been pay
ing 10 per cent on its stock since.
But the building of a bus terminal
has often been delayed until the city
government took steps to hasten Its
construction. Some cities have denied
the busses the privilege of parking on
the streets, allowing them only TO take
on and discharge passengers at given
points. Other cities have denied the
busses the right to park on the streets
in front of the large hotels, forcing
them to establish some agency OF their
own to sell bus tickets or provide shei-
ter for waiting passengers. Some such
action probably could be taken by the
District Public Utilities Commission,
but 1t has not Deen lnredleHeu lIl III.
hope that Washington problem VIII
solve itself by private enterprise, so
far lacking. The question of NUM-
cipally owned and operated bus ter

seriously at the District Building.
The movement for union bus ter
minal in Washington was fathered by
former Commissioner Bell. who became
so filled with enthusiasm, as well as
mindful of the evil in the present con.

terminal. This matter would neces-
sarily lie between the terminal and
the bus operators, although the Public
Utilities Commission might deny use
of street parking space to bus COM
pany and thereby compel it to use the
terminal, for which 1t would have to
pay. In the case of the terminal now
existing at Little Ninth street, COM
plaint was brought to the Public
Utilities Commission by the terminal
operators to the effect that it was
difficult to collect the fee of So a month
per bus from some of the bus op-
orators. But the commission was un-
able to force the bus operators to pay.

have done-built a terminal by form

case the mayor of a large city took

SENATE OPENS
FIGHT ON NAVAL
APPROPRIATIONS
Curtis Says Coolidge
Will Veto Bill For New
Cruisers.
By THOMAS L. STOKES
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Open-
ing of the fight for the administra-
ton, Senator Curtis, Republican
floor leader, urged the senate to-
day not to vote appropriation for
three new cruisers provided in the
naval appropriations bill, but to
wait until the preliminary confer
ence at Geneva, looking toward an
other limitations of arms parley, is
held.
Curtis warned that Coolidge might
veto the bill if it carries money for
the cruisers, whose construction at
this time the president opposed.
Senator Hale, Republican, Maine,
chairman of the naval committee,
and Senator Robinson, Republican,
Indiana, pointed out that Great
Britain had built or is going to build
81 cruisers while the United States
has built but Is.
Robinson declared if the United
States had war with Japan, the
first act of Japan would be to seize
the Philippines and that this eoun-
try should have sufficient vessels
to protect the islands. Hale argu
ed that the United States would be
in a better position to negotiate for
further limitations of armaments if
it kept up to the 5-5-3 ratio.

tors of athletics, football coaches
and alumni of Western conference
schools, meeting here in an effort to

Those at the meeting ruled that
granting aid in any particular ease

ministration today.
Despite the cool reception in
Pekin of Secretary of State Kcl-
logg's statement of policy. and de
mands of the Chinese minister here
for unconditional termination of
all unequal treaties,'' President
Coolidge is unwilling to go further
in meeting the Chinese Nationalists.
He is, however. ready to discuss
Chinese tariff autonomy and condi
tional gradual abolition of foreign
extra territoriality when the war
ring factions agree on delegates.
At the same time, the president S
attitude has stiffcncd regarding
the protection of American lives and
property in Shanghai.
He has flatly rejected requests of
Senator Borah and other FOR evacua-
tiOn OF the 400 Americans from
that city. He expects native Shan.
ghai authorities to prevent anti
American riots, and he is prepared
to use the - American war vessels

Withdrawal of Americans from
China would uniustly deprive them
of legal property and pursuits and
would injurc China, which is dcpcn-
dent upon foreign commercial in,
stitutions at Shanghai and else
where. in the president S opinion.
In sharp contrast to the white
house and state department justifi-
cation of sending American war
ships and marines to China, Chinese
Minister SEE issued this statement: a:
"The Chinese people are asking
why the foreign powers should send
fleets, troops and marines in NUM-
bcrs greatly exceeding the needs for
purely protective purposes. We
agree with public opinion expressed
in this country that such eXpedi-
tions are provocative and danger
GUS.
"Shina is not antiforeign; all
she wants is the right to govern her
self free from foreign intimidation
or interference.
"With reference to the unequal
treaties, the Chinese nation does not
feel that they can tolerate their
existence any longer.
