old and worn-out street car lines had been
hailed with delight by the citizens. 1t laid
emphasis upon the substantial manner In
which the syndicate had redeemed It's
PROMISES to give the city of Washington a
system of electric roads worthy of the cap
ital city, and now no expense had Deen
spared to carry passengers TO Ineir aestna-
ton in any quarter of the District. The
syndicate is worthy of all praise and de-
serves the gratitude of the people. the
paper continues While all these favors
have been showered upon the dWeners
along the lines of suburban roads. II was
stated the, people who live on the line OF
the Brightwood road have shared but TO
limited extent in the betterment OF the
system The residents there have had their
faces kept bright by promises of new cars.
but they never dreamed. the paper stated
of an extortion of a fare and half to the
city, and it seemed incrediple that the pa
irons of this line should be marked for un-
lust and extortionate charges for transpor-
tation.
what may appear like little thing to
the millionaire stockholders composing the
syndicate" 1t was added. who have us
temporarily in their power, is big thing
to the owner of property along the line of
the road. Assuming that family con-
ssts of five persons and that three of the
number ride to the city daily, In 800 days
they use 600 tickets each, or 1-SO0 during
the year, exclusive of Sundays and of those
used by the rest of the family. The in
creased cost to the father of the family at
21a cents per ticket would be $50, which is
per cent interest on 1913. If he does not
own the house he lives in he deducts S39
from the amount of rent he would other
wise pay. If he owns 1t. this 1910 hangs
like a mortgage over his home. the interest
of which he pays in the form of a coupon
1t was further stated that the advan-
tages to be reaped by a continuance Of the
present system of a continuous ride to
the heart of the city for one fare were not
Confined to the patrons of the road, but
shared equally by the railroad company.
THE strangest anomaly presented by the
contemplated action of the syndicate is that,
having voluntarily mortgaged the earnings
Of the roads for years to come to cover
the original cost Of the roads betterment,
franchise, equipment and watered stock
the managers should attempt to cripple the
earnings Of the best and most regularly
paying road of all the suburban lines of
the District"
Summary of Argument.
A summary Of the reasons against the
proposed increase of fare was given, as
follows: ..- .-=-.----.-
? Because the road found along the route
a large population awaiting transportation
facilities; because the taxpayers had to
incur the expenditure OF large amount
OF money for widening and grading Bright
wood avenue In order to enable the railroad
to carry out Its purpose; because -the7in-
creased fare will check and break UP the.

sands OF cases without single
failure so far as we have been able
to learn. 1t not only cures Group,
but when given as soon as the
croupy cough appears, will prevent
the attack. In cases OF whooping
cough it liquetics the tough mucus,

WASHINGTON, June 2.-As the time
for the convention draws near Senator
Jones. chairman of the Democratic Ma

of vigorous complaints from the members
Of the National Committee and other
leading Democrats throughout the country,
over the action of the hotel people in Kan
sas City in the matter of rates.
afany of the committeeman, who write
Chairman Jones on this subject, are ur-
gently requesting that meeting OF the
committee be called with view OF recon
sidering its action in deciding to hold the
convention in that city.
Is AN OUTRAGE.
A prominent member Of the committee
writes as follows:
Il engaged rooms for my delegation at

The proprietor of this hotel now writes
me that a contract for accommodation
means the 4tfl, 5th, 9Th and lth OF July,
whether the convention lasts that long or
not Of course, if it lasts longer the
amount will be pro-rata per day increased,
or if YOU take the accommodations on the
third, it will be a ive-day contract IN
stead of a four-days contract. 4hlS Is aH

Chairman Jones says that other mem
bers of the committee are writing him IN
the same line, and that certain members
seem very determined in the efforts 10

No action has yet been taken in the mat

the average charge, American plan, asked
for the convention, is s. day. four per

Johannesburg is very empty, but good
