NO CHEAP FARES

Philadelphia has shown how to

possible. For twenty years the process
Of consolidation has been going on,
and there are now in process of forma-
tion plans for a further merger which
will require the payment of such divi-
dends that reduction in fares will be
out of the question. And as this is a
type of the manipulation which the
.Quently results in burdens upon the
people. il is an interesting object les
son.
The process of consolidation has
been as follows: Originally there were
several independent lines, each paying
its stockholders a good dividend. Then
some financier came along with a plan
to merge certain of these lines. A new
corporation is formed which leases the
respective lines. paying a rental that
is held to be equivalent to the former
earnings. OF course the new corpora
ton must pay its stockholders a divi-
dend besides After this plan has con.
tinued a year or two, there is an effort
at further consolidation. a new com
lpany is formed. taking in other com
panies. guaranteeing the rental of tn
original lease. and a certain dividenr
to the stockholders of the corporation
below and endeavoring to make earn
ings above these fixed charges. Thi
has gone on until the amount of thes
