GATES OR NO GATES

The journal wishes to call par
ticular attention Of those interested IN
the question of gates on streetcars to
communication published in this con-
nection from II. M. Wheelock. He
shows by data taken from the bulletin
Labor on street and electric railroads
that the claim Of the Twin City Rapid
Transit company that the gates on its
cars furnish great protection from ac-
cidents is either fallacious or imagin-
He has compared the number of acct
dents and fatalities on SIX electric
street railways, with those occurring on
the twin city streetcar system. Now,
if the gates are a protection the persons
protected would be either passengers or
centage of those killed on the local lines
is greater than those killed on the
streetcar lines of other cities, the per-
centage being 33 Is on the former as
against an average Of 227a on the
latter.
Sixty per cent Of those injured on
local lines were passengers or employees
Iprotected by gates) and 70 per cent on
lines Of other cities, difference so
| slight as to do away with the argument
that the gates afford much, If any pro-
lection.
Take the following three cities that
are in the same class as Minneapolis
and st. Paul. s-.
| Cleveland electric railway, carrying
63, 013 ,331-no passengers or employees
killed; 421 injured.
Louis, carry s4,26O,09S passengers-3
passengers or employees killed; 1,,947
International electric railway, BSf.
falo, carrying 81, 239, 1898 passengers
passengers and employees killed; 25 in
jured.
Milwaukee electric railway, carrying
6O,9O1 passengers-no passengers or en-
ployees killed; 1,416 injured.
Twin City Rapid Transit company
carrying 1887 ,815 passengers-3 pas
sengers or employees killed; 944 in
jured.
In these cities with cars unprotected
by gates the percentage of passenger
and employees killed was: Cleveland
10; st. Louis, IA; Buffalo, So; Milwaukee
o.. In Minneapolis and st. Paul (pro
tected), 33.
| Percentages of passengers and EN-
ployees injured: Cleveland, "a; st
Louis, 80; Buffalo, 55; Milwaukee, 81
4 Minneapolis and st. Paul, 60.
The statistics also show that in Min
neapolis and st. Paul two-thirds OF
those killed were pedestrians or others
who were not passengers or employees
and, therefore, not protected by gates

La Toilette and His Regime.

Governor La Toilette s object in call
ing the Wisconsin legislature together
was to perpetuate the La Toilette fac
ton in power in Wisconsin republican
ism. Having determined to take the
senatorship, he had either to witness the
disintegration of his power thru a sur
plus of candidates to succeed him or to
accomplish something which would
counterfeit the effects Of faction. !
The proposed revision Of the primary
election law will do something toward
reassuring Governor La Toilette regard
ing the future. AS at present framed
the law is quite like that of Minnesota
in the opportunity it offers to the minor
ity to nominate candidate. If the
plurality candidate is to be the nominee
he may well be stalwart if the stall
warts all vote for the same man, and
To correct this chance and still give
free play to the candidates. Of his
lieutenants, Governor La Toilette wants
to add the Australian feature of second
choice voting to the primary law. This
would assist materially in keeping the
power in the hands of his followers.
However, the second choice vote at
the primary has merit of its own over
and above any service it may be to the
politicians Of Wisconsin.
It's effect is majority instead Of minor
ity rule in the primaries. It's meaning
| is simply that if the people do not give
a majority of first choices to any man
then the second choices shall be polle6
and the man having the largest number
of second choices shall be the nominee
It's action has tendency to cut ou1

Friday Evening,

that we are not gaining anything in
safety to life or limb by the use Of
the gates. The only gain is to the
street railway company, which appears
to have profted in the matter of dam
age suits.
AS is pointed out in Mr.. Wheelock's
communication, the people who are
killed or severely injured are not the
victims of accidents at the rear plat
forms. They are people who are run
over OF run against, or who are injured
in some other way than by merely
stepping off behind car which could
not possibly run over them.
The question is, then, whether the
people of Minneapolis are willing to
submit to the delay suffered on. account
of the gates simply that the street rail
way company may enjoy a little more
protection against suits for damages.
Someone says: sWhat's the use9 You
can It make the company take the gates
off, anyway The city council could
easily find ways to make them take
the gates off it they saw fit to do so.
They found a way to get transfers on
cars at all junction points.
Of course, everybody knows that if
the street railway company were not
monopoly, expressions of sentiment
like this would be regarded by the in
stitution as Of immense value and would
be listened to with the greatest respect.
There is no business enterprise in Min
neapolis which would venture to ignore
the wishes Of it's patrons so plainly ex-
pressed if it did not have a monopoly
Of the field.

A Blessing to the City.
the E5ifor of The Journal.

To the Editor of The Journal:
I have read with interest the many
opinions of your readers in the Sunday
Journal and have come to the conclusion
that Minneapolitans do not know how
to appreciate blessing when they have
it.. The Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany, with all its modern, comfort-mak-
ing and accident preventing improve
ments, is blessing to the city of Min-
neapolis. ...-.
Next to the -four and lumber indus
try, nothing has made this city more
widely known than its excellent street.
car system. And one of the things
that have given it the good name is
that it does everything in its power to
prevent accident.
The gates have done this more than
one can realize. I know from expert
ence, for I have ridden on the street.
cars in eleven Of the most important
cities in this country and in fourteen.
cities in Europe, none Of which in eth
er country had under 100000 inhabit-
ants.
This I can truthfully and conscien-
ciously say, in none of these cities did
I find any service that was equal to
ours.
If you don It believe it ask others who
have travelled who are not residents Of
this city. What were the gates put on
for7 TO keep us in like so many cattle,
as our friend Wing would have us
know by his cartoon7 By all means,
no. What does the streetcar company
care if there are gates or not7 They
don't increase their profits, and surely
the motorman would be delighted to get
out of the trouble of opening and clos
ing them. Those gates were put on
for the protection Of their patrons.
| Do not take them off. If you do the
citizens of Minneapolis will regret very
much one Of the things that they now
ought to be thankful for. '&.

,ther cars are either passengers or en-

other cars are either passengers or en-
ployees.
These figures are slightly favorable,
as one might expect, to the gated cars.
Not so much so, however, as would
make up for those killed.
Third-That all kinds of accidents
are less numerous on the local system
than are the average of the others
given. Hence, if the same high stand
ard of careful running is maintained,
the safety gates may be removed and
(a) No more people will be killed
than at present.
(b) Minor injuries may be slightly
more numerous.
The increase should not be greater
than Is to 20 per cent. This is on the
superstition that the present one-door
type of car be retained. If passengers
are allowed to mount and alight at the
front end Of the car, there will prob
ably be more danger.

Congressman McCleary calls he
journals attention to an editorial
paragraph in a recent issue which says,
among other things, I'm the recent Mas
sachusetts campaign Henry M. Whitney,
candidate for lieutenant governor, freely
quoted the president as being opposed to
reciprocity with Canada Of course that
was an error, for which we cannot now
entirely account, inasmuch as h g
Journal has on numerous occasions
represented correctly the attitude Of the
president toward Mr.. Whitney's use Of
his name in that campaign. What the
president complained of in Mr.. Whitney
was that the latter gentleman abused a
confidence and in a. measure misrepre-
scented the presidents position on the
reciprocity question. The president re
scented the action Of the democratic can
didate for lieutenant governor In trying
to make him appear as hostile to the
attitude Of his party ticket in that cam
paign. This does not go to the merits Of
the question as to the presidents views
on reciprocity, but he does not propose
to be quoted in any campaign speeches
! or literature without his consent. : {

The Secretary's Plan.

The annual report of the secretary |
of the treasury, coming coincident with |
a second advance in call-money rates |
in New York, makes particularly timely
his suggestion looking towards greater |
elasticity Of the currency. Mr.. Shaw
would permit the national banks to
issue government-g currency
equal in volume to SO per cent of their
regularly authorized bond-secured cir
culation.> This would make it possible,
in time of stress, to put over $780,
100000 Of additional paper money
afoat. All notes issued in excess Of
the amount covered by bonds deposited
with the government would be sub.
jected to tax of S or per cent.
MI. Shaw has not traced his propo-
sition entirely thru it's working out,
but there would seem to be no great
difficulty in the way, even tho there
are 1881 national banks in the coun-
try, with combined circulation of $780,
100000. 1t would be necessary to take
steps to render both the regular and
the emergency notes uniform in char
| acter. This would mean cancellation
OF the present notes and their reissue
AS the banknOtes now in circulation
| are secured by bonds deposited with
| the treasurer of the United States, and
| are SO marked, it would be necessary
| to remove this specific indication, for
| obviously any emergency notes that
might be issued could not be 50 iden-
titled, and the absence Of the mark,
in new money coming into e,@might
cause doubt and :mistrust, or even, work
for discrimination in a time of general
panic. AS a great many banknotes are
annually presented for redemption any
way-the number, according to MIR.
Shaw's report, aggregating $308,000
last year-it would seem no very diff
cult matter to gather them all in, after
knowledge of the new departure had
become general, 49,:
Under operation Of the plan, all ma
tional-bank notes would 90 out with
out bond-secured Identification. A re-
ceiver Of banknote would never know
whether the bill was of the regular
issue or Of the emergency class. In
deed, there would be nothing to pre-
vent a bank from issuing up to SO PEI
cent in excess of it's bond secured cir
culation in an ordinary time; but thu
government would, Of course, know
how much the bank had outstanding
as the bills have to be countersigne'
at WaShin ptOn and the tax of 5 or
per cent on the excess would proven
this. It would be very unproftabl
to issue this excess circulation unles
interest rates were materially highe
: than the tax.
