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.

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.
