Public ownership and operation
of street railways in Glasgow has
reduced the hours of labor about
one-third, raised wages, lowered
fares at once about 33 per cent
(the average fare is below 2 cents
and over IS per cent of the fares
are cent each), greatly improved
the service, doubled the traffic in
about two years, brought down the
operating cost. and fixed charges
so that the city makes as much
profit per passenger on an aver
age fare of 1.78 cents as the pri-
vate company said it made on an
average of 1884 cents, and turned
several hundred thousand dollars
of profit into the public treasury.
Compare this with the sc rate
charged by the New Orleans Street
Railways Trust, the poor service
to the public, long hours and poor
pay for its employees, but millions
of dollars for the trust, protected
by the political trust of the State.
Where will it all end.

Extravaganza of the School Board

At the meeting of the School
Board, held last week, the salary
of the principal of the Washing
ton High School was raised from
800 per month to $125; and al
though this action was taken at
the beginning of the fourth week
of the school month, the Board
generously provided, in addition,
that the increased pay should take
effect three weeks before the
adoption of the resolution!
We long ago called attention to
the fact that tuition in the Wash
1ington school cost more per capita
than in any other in the parish;
three months ago, when other sal
aries in that school were further
raised, the actual and proportion
ate cost were both again increased;
and now, when the salary of the
principal is raised to higher fig
ure than that paid to the principal
of the High School in the city of
Baton Rouge, with its 600 pupils,
it seems high time to call a halt.
These, and similar abuses which
we foresaw and pointed out, are
a direct outgrowth of the system
recently put in force of making a
per capita distribution of the
funds among the wards; and it
behooves the people, in choosing
representatives in the General
Assembly, to see to it that men
are chosen who will urge and ad-
vocate the adoption of better
one.
