LONG BUS TRIPS

It is now possible to travel almost anywhere throughout the length of the land by motor coach. In all the large cities there are motor coach terminals, and from them buses de part for distant points just like trains leave railroad terminal.
 The motor coach companies ex- plain that their dc luxe conveyances have made it again possible for the person in moderate circumstances to travel at low cost They prove their contentious by advertising the costs of trips, uually in large type.
 Railroads never do this unless they are announcing special cxcur- sion rates on q special train.
 Motor coaches, of course, are not as speedy as trains. But the person who is inclined to balk at paying the high railroad fares to distant point is less inclined to regard speed as important consideration as the price. It must be remembered that q large part of the travelling public is not specially incOnvcnienced if a trip takes somewhat longer by bus than by train.
 When one figures the cost of Pull man borths by train, the Pullman surcharge that is exactcd, and the extra fares on the really fast trains, one begins to realize the large open ing for obtaining q share of the passenger traffic that the railroads have left for the motor coach com panics.
 In addition, it is not to be over looked that this motor coach travel is still "in its infancy" It has only been a few years since long distance travel by motor coach was inaugu- rated; and the public was a little slow at first 10 be shown that it could be done in comfort
 The de luxe coaches that are operated upon the long routes, sport ing comfortable leather chairs in which one can lean back and sleep. offer a challenge at least to the more inConVcnient nature of the average day coach. It is the day coach pas sengcrs that form the best bait for the motor coach companies; and the railroads before this have been forced to admit that their day coach trade has greatly decreased.
 That speed alone is not the de- tcrmning factor in deciding modes Of travel is indicated in the thou sands of people who travel long dis tanCcs by automobile. They do it, of course, because they possess cars and sce no necessity for keeping them in garage when they go somewhere. The average speed of the private automobiles is approximately the same as the speed of the motor coaches and in either case approxi- mately half as fast as the railroads offer.
 Another stimulation for motor coach travel is the scenic interest. Motor coaches travel alor scenic highways, there is unobstructed view Of the scenery from comfort able seats; the best views of tho towns on route are obtainablc rather than the dilapidated views of thu

SESSION COST
STATE $4,000

The legislative session which end
ed last week cost the state ap-
proximately $58,5O0, according to
preliminary estimates made by
State Controller E. G. Peterson.
Not all the bills for expenses of
the session have been checked by
the controller, but probably $500
of the $4,000 appropriated by the
legislature I'd pay the sessions ex-
penseS would remain.
One of the important cost items
was brought about by the univer-
sity investigation, the expenses of
which amounted to $1164.63. OF
this amount $108825 was paid for
the stenographic report.
But three bills passed by the leg
iSlture have been laid aside by
the governor for further consider
alton and discussion with interest
ed parties. One is a measure al
lowing the state to lease the state
building to Reno. Another is the
