Bus Owners Claim Proposed Tax Will Wreck Business
Heavy License Fee Planned Matter of Legality in Hands of Court in Topeka
Steps now being taken to place the tax burden on motor stage lines operating between Lawrence, Kansas City and Topeka threaten to disrupt at least one of these transport companies. The drivers are here and in Kansas City, Kan. are passed and an ordinance in Topeka enforced, the Inter-State Stage line will be compelled to pay nearly $1,000 a year for each bus operated.
The Inter-State Stage line runs motor buses between Kansas City, Lawrence and Topken. Its manager, John Shoike, has been contemplating the addition of these buses. However the addition of these buses has been held up pending the outcome of court proceedings in one case that occurred last week here and in Kansas City, Kan.
It has been estimated by passenger officials and bus line agents, that the Kansas City area has city every week-end. The Kansas City, Kan. ordinance calls for a taxation of $400 annually for the entire city, an additional $100 for each additional six passengers, according to Hugh J. Bush, city counselor of Kansas City, Kan.
The ordinance which has been prepared here is similar to the one in effect in Topeka. It requires an information card additional for all bushes carrying baggage. Virtually all of the Inter State buses carry baggery. "The bags are carried easily early part of next week," announced Mayor Kreech, this morning; "We are holding it up till all the possible data may be obtained." he said.
Willing to Pay Reasonable Fee
"If all these ordinances go through and the courts hold such rates legal, it will mean that we go out of business," said Mr. Shoite. "We are perplexed to willing to pay a reasonable license to operate, or to put up bond, but these amounts would be too much."
The required license fees in Topeka have not been paid according to Mr. Kishan. The matter of the legality of the demotion of the district court's hand of the district court at Topeka.

Mendelsohn Likes Part of Franz Schubert in Play "Blossom Time"
Personality Both on and Of Stage Fits Him to Play Such Parts
"I like the part of Franz Schubert better than any other I have ever played," said Joseph Mendelssohn concerning his part in "Blossom" and modesty of his character are most appealing to me, he continued.
That his personality is suited to play such a roll is shown by his actions off stage. Snatching time by a reporter, interviewed by a reporter from the KKAM, shows same gracious manner he showed as an actor. Rather than gruffly refusing an interview, he sought out the most comfortable seat behind the desk and apologized for the unsatisfactory way in which he had to see him.
Mendelson was born in Chicago and lived there till he went to New York. He married Joseph Steinburg, a well known actor in the south but his father was a merchant in Chicago, where Steinburg was in business with his father.
Frans Schubert's own spectacles are worn in the play by Mr. Mendel-Loewen, a charming angaged niece of the musician to Sirmond Romberg, a cousin of Mendel-sohn, who wrote the play 'Mendel-loewen.' The last half of his life will he able to carry out the details of Schubert's personality to the task of imitating his walk and carriage.
"I felt as though there was a big-ger thing for me to do," he said, "and since I always had a desire for work of my job I decided to take it up. I began by studying voice and acting under B迪普希 in New York."
"The Girl from Greenwich Village" "was the first plays he took to Broadway," she added. Boston Opera Company and later did concert work. He also took parts in "May Time" and "Paradise" but it is less known that he chickens "the best of all."
