ATLANTA, Ga,—The bailie be-
tween the i rilroads and the bus lines
continues merrily New bus line*
are being planned almost daily, and
the ones already operating are put
ting on more and -ometimes bigger
machines. The railroads have been
dropping off trains whenever the pub
lic service commissions have permit
ted it.
The contest is unequal as thing*
stand now. business men and indus
trial leaders point out. Here is the
situation as seen by disinterested
persons who have no connection with
cither the railroads or the bus lines.
The railroad* have vast amounts
of money tied up in right-of-way
and road-bed and rolling stock; they
are compelled to maintain tueir re
pair crew*: they are taxed on their
right-of-way and their rolling-stock;
they are handicapped by laws which
require the use a a minimum num
ber of men regardless of the charac
ter of the train.
The bbs lines pay nothing for
right-of-way. That is furnished them
by the people as a whole. They are
not required to carry more than one
in the crew, for the driver collects
fares and the passengers get on and
off without assistance. They pay
nothing to the municipalities through
which theyy pass. They are permit
ted to cut fares to a point just be
low the ratet fixed for railroads. !
The railroads pay a privilege tax
to every incorporated town through
which they pass. They pay school
taxes in alt districts through which
they run. The bus lines do not. The
railroads pay county school tax; the
bus lines do not.
The race, it is shown, is an unequal
one, and in the opinion of business
mm and taxpayers should be made
mur.- equal These suggestions have
been advanced:
First, the bus lines should be tax
ed in exactly the same way that the :
railroads are taxed, so thut the -late
and county and school funds in the
territory through which they pass ■
may be benefited. Second, railroads 1

JLDER, YES—BUT SOMETHING MORE.
Chesterfield offers richness, aroma, satisfying
flavor.
BETTER TASTE—that's the answer; and
that’s what smokers get in Chesterfield in full*
est measure—the flavor and aroma of mellow
tobaccos, exactly blended and cross*blended.
Better taste, and milder too!

Third, the railroads should be per
mitted to operate light trains or sin
gle coaches with only one man to;
handle the whole business if they ■
de-ire to do so, or the bus lines
should be required to employ driver
and relief pilot to sit alongside him, j
together with a conductor to handle
the collecting of fares.

An Unpleasant Subject
All of the functions of lifo are no j
pleasant to consider. Perhaps this is
why some mothers refuse to think that
ruen symptoms as restless sleep, loss of
flesh, la of appetite or itching noso
and fint . in their children, can ba
caused by round at pin worms. Many
mothers have proven, however, that a
few doses of white’s Cream Vermi
fuge, that sure and harmless worm
cxpeUant, will make these symptoms '
disapiicur. You can get White’s Cream
