“The bill is designed to require all
motor bus companies to live up to
the full measure of public respons-
ibility, and the fact that the law pro-
vides for the prohibtion of irrespons-
ible service will act to afford a degree
of protection for the company that
assumes its proper place in the public hibited.
service.”
In granting permits for the opera-
tion of motor bus lines, Mr. Beck ex-
plained, the railroad commission is
required to take into consideration
the character of highway to be tra-
versed, and to grant permits in each
case for operations of such charac-
ter as will not interfere with the use
of the highway by the general public.
The commission also may require
operators to carry insurance in such
amounts as it may prescribe.
All operating companies are requir-
ed to apply to the commission for a
permit, their applications including a
statement of the applicants’ financial
condition, description of the equip-
ment to be used, and the route over
which it is proposed to operate, the
proposed time schedules and rates,
together with the names and addresses
of the owners of existing transporta-
tion facilities on the highways in-
volved in the application. The names
of the mayors and county judges in
each city and county to be touched
by the line also must be set out.
After the filing of the application,
a date for a hearing will be set, and
all interested parties notified of the
setting. The “interested parties” in-
cludes the state highway commission,
which is given the specific right to
be heard and may protest the grant-
ing of a permit where it deems the
public service to be performed by the
proposed bus line will not more than
offset the damage such operation t^ill
cause to the highways involved.
All lines now in operation will be
required to make formal applications
for permits, and permits will be issued
to each of them by the railroad com-
mission without a hearing, unless
those affected by the operation enter
a protest within 30 days after the ap-
plication is filed. If no protests are
filed, the application then will be ac-
corded a formal hearing. Localities
involved In the various operations also
will be given an opportunity to set
forth their needs.
Bus line operators who are dissatis-
fied with any decision or*ruling of
the commission are accorded the right
of appeal to a district court In Travis
County. Permits granted by the com-
mission are transferable upon ap-
proval of the commission, and the
•4 commission at any time can institute
' an investigation on its own account
to determine if the company is ren-
dering a character of service com-
mensurate with the needs and inter-
ests of the territory served. The com-
mission also is given power to sus-
pend, alter or amend permits already
granted, and to require the establish-
ment of proper terminals, connecting
service with other lines and the ex-
tension of lines.
1 The bill also provides for a nomi-
nal fee for the permits, based on the
passenger carrying capacity of the
vehicles in use. This fee, it is believ-
ed, will be sufficient to pay the cost
of administering the act. Failure to
comply with provisions of the act, and
violation of rules and regulations to
be promulgated by the railroad com-
mission is classed as a misdemeanor
subject to a fine or imprisonment.

well as women in these
countries are much given to the use
of various scents and lotions, and the
market possibilities are correspond-
ingly increased.
“In tile Far East, Japuu has been
gradually becoming familiar with our
toilet creams and powders, and the
American colony in the Philippines
has made our trade with those islands
of some importance.
“With China, however, the develop-
ment of a market for these goods is
still largely a matter of the future.
The present small sales are mainly
taken by the foreign population. But
Chinese women are much addicted to
the use of hair lotions, nail polishes,
etc., and the imported preparations of
this character are making headway
against the long-prevailing native
wares. ,.
"The specialty of the United States,

leadership in practically ail markets,

American dentists and dental equip-
ment have long been held superior to
all others, and the vogue of our pastes

naturr.liy in the wake of this prefer-
ence.
“Last year we supplied the world
with dentifrices valued at $3.382,000.
By far our best customer for these ar-
ticles ordinarily is England, which
takes nearly a third of the total.

to the continent, where the American
brands tiro very favorably known. In
general international trade the only
competitor tor this business mentioned
by our trade scouts abroad is Ger-
many, whose wares, however, have
made no serious Inroads on our sales.
“The bulk of our sales of toilet
preparations, aside from perfumery
and toilet waters, is made up of toilet
powders, particularly talcum, creams,

dentifrices. Thy trade is very widely
scattered.

“The competition with which these

German goods. There are also in the
field the products of local tnanufac-
ture, in both the highly civilized and
the more backward countries; and
this domestic production, in fact,‘usu-
ally fills most of the giveh nation's
requirments.
“As a rule they are simpler and
cheaper concoctions, and as weallh

Liquor Issue
Speaking of tlie 1928 campaign, ihe
great question now is whether the
democrats will sidestep ihe liq.tor
issue.
They will, and so will republicans.;
It has become a custom in this coun-
try for both parties to sidestep < very

foresee that each platform will be the |
smoothest, kind of a Atraddle on pro-1

The Chevrolet Motor Company
Marcii smashed all previous monthly
production records in its history by
manufacturing 107.996 automobiles, an
average daily production of 4316 cars.
A new daily record for production
was also established on March 31,
when 5075 Chevrolets were run off the
assembly lines.
The Chevrolet production last month
exceeded the March. 1926, output by
42,733 cars, a gain of 65.6 per ceni and
outstripped March, 1925, production
by 64,404 cars, an increase of 148.1
per cent.
A constantly increasing demand for
the Chevrolet ear. nation-wide in its
insistence, has made it necessary for
the Chevrolet motor manufacturing
plants to work night and dav to keep
pace with tlie enormous volume of
sales registered since the advent of
the ‘most beautiful Chevrolet in Chev-
I rolet history.’ Raw material by the
thousands of carloads is moving into
the plants daily where extensions and
equipment were recently enlarged to
a capacity of 1,000,000 cars yearly by
a $10,000,000 expansion program.
