JITNEYS ESCAPE TAX
Council Decides Against Exac
tion of License at Present.
TROLLEY PR0TEST1N VAIN
Sir. Griffith Declares It Is Unfair
That Corporation Pay HeaTj
Taxes and Be Subjected to
Uncontrolled Competition.
Expressing conviction that the jitney
bus service, as it is operating in Port
land and other cities at present, win
die a natural death, members of the
City Commission yesterday gave Presi
dent Griffith, of the Portland Railway.
Light tc Power Company, no assurance
that steps would be taken at present to
curb the concern. President Griffith
asked that the new company be placed
on the same footing as the street rail
way system. Instead of being operated
without taxation, regulation or respon
sibility. Members of the Council in a lengthy
conference with President Griffith
took the position that the service can
not be made a permanent success, be
cause there is not enough money in it.
Figures were presented to show that a
bus with a short run on Belmont street.
carrying passengers eacn trip ana run
ning 1 hours a day, received a gross
rxvenue of S6 for one day. This, it is
mat A will hardlv take care of the de
preciation on the machine and the cost
oil ami repairs. It Is said
automobile owners cannot permanently
mat. a llvine- at the business.
Commissioner Brewster contended
that the new bus service is an experi
ment and may some day take the place
of streetcar service. President Griffith
.-..mended that he had absolutely no
objection to a new form of streetcar
service being introduced 11 11 waa ic
mil red to measure up to all the require.
monta of the old service. He declared
that the streetcar company Is forced to
run cars to Lents, St. Johns and to
Mnntavllla for a 6-cent fare. The Jit
ney buses, he says, should be required
to run service to those places if their
xnrvice is to take the place or tne
streetcar service.
President Griffith said that 10 per
cept of the gross receipts of the street
car company go to pay taxes and
licenses for doing business. He says
the streetcar company is forced by the
city and the state to maintain a sched
ule of service whether It gets any pass
engers or not; is required to run Into
the districts where the investment Is
not a financial success and has to be
subject to many regulations. He says
the Jitney service anouia comply who
liiA same conditions. '
You rea-ulata our company." said
President Griffith, "and you should pro-
tect the company so that it may have a
chance to get some revenue.
It Is nrobable that if the business
continues for any length of time the
Council will take steps to regulate it
and exact a license.
CHURCHES TO PROTEST
PLA.tf IS PROPOSED TO OFFSET
LIQUOR INTERESTS' LOBBY.
Spokane Congregations to Unite In Im.
' pressing on Legislators That They
Represent All People.
SPOKANE. Wash.. Jan. 18. (Spe
cial.) Thousands of church-goers in
Spokane City and County will be rep
resented in a communication which is
to go to the Spokane County representa
fives in the State Legislature next
week, requesting them to remember
that -they are representing the people
of the county, and not the liquor inter
ests and those seeking special privi
lege at the hands of the Legislature.
A resolution embodying this request
by action of the Ministerial Association
this morning will be presented by every
pastor in the city to his congregation
next Sunday and the collective result
-of that action forwarded to the county's
representative at Olympia.
The matter was brought up by the
Rev. J. E. Davis, of the civic righteous
ness committee, whose congregation
took such action at the services yester
day. "We understand." said Mr. Davis,
in speaking of the motion, "that there
are 25 men from Seattle lobbying at
olympia for an amendment to initiative
No. 18. the measure Itself having been
admitted a failure by its framers. Those
lobbyists are bringing every possible
pressure to bear on the Legislature to
have It submit an amendment to their
worthless measure and the people
should do something to offset that
pressure."

Cut-Bate Stock Sales to Be Stopped,
LONDON, Jan. 7. (Correspondence of the
Associated Presa) There is a growing
feeling in Stock Exchange circle, that legis
lation should be put through by the Gov
ernment to prevent selling of stocks by
outside Institution, -below the minimum
fixed by the committee and the treasury.
At present the London Stock Exchange
and several provincial exchanges are han
dicapped severely, especially where gilt
edged securities are concerned, by Institu
tions whose principals are not members of
any exchange and are in position to put
through transactions In stocks and shares
at anv price they like, whereas exchange
members are bound by the treasury rules.
Something on the lines of a chartered
agency or corporate body embracing tne
London and provincial exchange. Is advo
cated, to place members under permanent
government control, and thus effectively
check the outside dealing now complained
of.

year, but leaders now fesl that more
attention would be attracted to tbs
convention if it wer not opratd In
competition with the Legislature, while
the demand for rooms 1.' a difficult
problem faced biennially.
It is probable that North Yakima will
get the 191 convention and that rules '.
will be changed to allow the 1917 con
vention to be held at Tacoma or soma '
other point convenient to Olympia.
strong effort is being -mad to amend
or repeal tho women s elgnt-nour law
and repeal of the minimum wag law
has been discussed. Th Federation

II. L. Hughes, legislative agent of th
