ANOTHER ACCOUNT

The Chicago Tribune sent member
Of its staff to Glasgow to investigate
municipal ownership there, and,
though somewhat unwillingly, he is
compelled to report that the street
railway system is honestly, efficiently
and from the financial as we'll as the
general point of view, successfully
operated. The correspondent gives
the following important and interest
ing particulars:
"Glasgow, having taken possession
of all civic utilities, is now seeking
from parliament power to own and
operate interurban electric lines. Al
ready the city government Is operat-
Ing the suburban traction lines I'M
der system of leases, and the ex-
pertinent, like the operation of the
lines within the city limits, has been
entirely successful.
1T requires only brief stay in
Glasgow, however, to convince Chi
cago man that what Glasgow has sue
ceeded in doing in the way of sue
cessful operation of civic utilities can
not safely be taken as an indication
of what might be done in Chicago.
Fares BY No Means Small.
"In the first place, Glasgow itself
Is city closely and compactly built.
1t has, however, a tributary popula-
ton from two to ten times as great as
the populations tributary to American
cities of similar size. Again, the
mileage of street railway lines in
Glasgow is comparatively small Only
Sixty-four miles of streets all told are
supplied with municipal traction
lines. The wages paid to employees
of the municipal lines are less than
half those paid in Chicago.
"Glasgow, of course, has no such
extreme distances as Chicago, but
on the long hauls the fares are by no
means small. No transfers are given.
It costs cents to ride six miles. On
the other hand, one may ride dis
lance inside of mile for l cent.
"Of course, this is cheap riding for
the man who lives downtown, but OBJ
viously the system of graduated fares
never would do in sprawling city
like Chicago
Neither Chicago nor any other
large American city has anything to
learn of Glasgow so far as the actual
operation of street railways is con-
cerned Glasgow did not adopt cleo
tricity until long after it had been
exploited in nearly every city, large
and small, in the United States, and
Glasgow still clings to the overhead

"But can we afford to accept that
gift?" objected the ver-conscientious
trustee of the great public charity.
"Why not?" said the practical trus-
tee.
Consider the tainted source from
which it comes"
'sIt isn't tainted, though. I have
stipulated that it shall be paid in
clean, new $1,000 bills, warranted alb
