that women especially had last come into new life
Of vgor and soundness which would never be lost Many
sweeping changes in dress and habits were predicted as
consequence Of the general and free use of the bicycle
Now it is safe to say that ninetenths Of the men and
women who rode bicycles for pleasure or exercise i've

THE FRANCHISE QUESTION IN OHIO.

The most interesting point at issue in the perfection
Of uniform municipal code for the government OF Ohio
cities which is work before TIE special session Of
the Ohio legislature the granting Of franchises 10
public service corporations.
It is inevitable Of course that politics and party inter
ests viii enter into the discussion of this question not
only because Of the fact that street railway franchises
are quite frequently made an in municipal cleo
tons but because Of the fact that such political leaders
Senator Hanna Mayor Tom Johnson and Senator Fora
er are interested street railway property, says the
Chicago Record Herald Special interest also attaches
to this phase municipal code because of the fact
that street railway franchises soon expire Cleveland
Cincinnati and renewals be negotiated under
the new charter that be uniform in all the cities.
The chief points of contention the length of the
franchise the Of renewal and the question of NUM-
cipal ownership. Mayors Johnson Of Cleveland AMI
Jones of Toledo wish the cities have the right
embark lighting transportation enterprises. If
their wishes prevail the municipal code viii make it
possible for any city acquire any time the property
OF local railway lighting corporation to be
operated a municipal enterprise provision clear
" in line with the public sentiment the question OF
public utilities that the code could hardly be
sidered modern or progressive If it were omitted
Senator Hanna is reported favorng perpetual fran
chses with revision of the Of the grant every ten
years He also opposes the provision of the
which proposes tax Of per cent on the gross earnings
Of the public service corporations. IN defending posi-
ton he maintains that under the per tax many
street railway corporations would pay investors
per cent on their stock
1t is hardly probable that in the solution Of such

the wife ana the staring country folks
