THE PERCENTAGE SYSTEM.
SECRET OF A GREAT EVIL IN THE
STREET CAR SERVICE.
Drivers Allowed Percentage on Receipts
over a Certain Amount From Their
Cars and It's operation-Put on Late
Hour Cars.

There are few cities in the country that
can boast of street car service comparable
with that in this city. Even the smaller
cities, where the system has recently been
naturalization, for example-cannot
lay any claim TO contest with the local
concern. THE APPEAL has from time TO
time called attention to the shortcomings
OF the corporations public service, and has
sought in vain for the causes. Yesterday
a reporter was informed OF little expert
ence and succeeding revelations that will
lay bare the whole mystery and show the
people the thus Of this thusness.
~ reside out on Poplar street, said the
gentleman who confidently believes he has
arrived at the true inwardness, land have
almost turned gray from impotence and
wrath, engendered by long waits for cars.
II was invariably the case when / wanted
TO go home that one or more cars OF every
line running over Main street would pass
except the Poplar line. Yesterday / was
undergoing the same experience, when, on
looking down the street saw three yellow
cars following close upon one another. The
first was completely filed, while the two
rear ones were empty IA mans pocket
when his wife has taken in the spring mil
linery openings. ] boarded the second car
and asked the driver what was the cause
OF the mourniul procession OF yellow cars.
Nothing" said he. / then asked him
why he kept so close 10 the preceding car,
followed II up with other questions and
finally he admitted something very slngu-
lar, 10 this effect: In addition 10 tho
meager salary paid drivers by the com.
pany, they were given percentage OF re-
cepts from their cars over certain amount.
Working on this plan. schedules were cast
almost entirely to the winds, and drivers
made practice Of hanging back TO insure
lively patronage. have heard OF schemes
and schemes, but this tops them all. IL
strikes me that the authorities should read
up on the city's contract with this COM
pany and hold IL down, or the public will
raise a good sized howl over intolerable
imposition.
The gentleman quoted In the foregoing
was not in jest, but had witnesses TO the
drivers admission, and also his name and
car number. II Is certainly pretty state
Of affairs IN great and growing city like
Memphis.
Another gentleman desired TO know II IL
would not be more in accordance with
popular demands II the same company
could not be induced 10 run cars out the
various streets M late IN II o'clock mid
night. In all cities such as this there arc
classes OF business which keep those en-
gagged In them in town till that hour, and
II Is n great hardship TO be compelled 10
walk home. Cars are run late by the new
company, and II is hard TO understand
why the old should be 50 outclasscd. But
such Is the effect Of traffic arrangements.
