SMITH DOUBTS LAWS POWER
General Manager of Oar Company Thinks
Zimman Ordinance is uncomfortable.
SAYS, THOUGH, ITS EFFECT WILL Be GOOD
Believes People VIII BE Moved to
Think of Comforts of Others
Because of ThIa
Measure.

What is the hog seat?" asked the little
boy Of his father.
1T is the seat you want" replied the
erudite father.
The ordinance introduced by President
Zimman of the council is the subject of
endless discussions on the streets. In fact,
1t is thought that the newspaper notoriety
will have salutary effect in convincing
the "end seat hog" that it is the proper
caper to move over as the ordinance itself.
General Manager Smith of the street rail-
way company said: THE street railway
company is a common carrier and the cars
are public conveyances and as long as
such is the case and no reserved seats are
sold, the first to enter the car is bound to
pick out the best seat and l don't see how
we can help 1t. OF course, this discussion
will have a tendency TO make people more
thoughtful as 10 the rights ana cenven-
fences of others, so that If a passenger is
goiny the length Of the line he will be more
Lapt to slide along and not make those who
are to go a shorter distance crawl over
both on entering and leaving the open cars.
think the ordinance cannot be enforced to
a very great extent yet 1t will have a good
effect just the same. 1t will be just like
the ordinance against splitting on the side
walk II will be enforced in some instances
probably and that will impress 1t on the
minds Of others that 1t is the proper thing.
| The seat on the other end OF the car is just
as good as the outside seat and 1 think
ofttimes preferable. for then you are not
having anyone crawling over you"

FIGHT ON ELECTRIC LINES
General Crusade of Railroads Re-
ceives Cooperation of the
Rock Island In Iowa.

Following the lead of other steam rail-
roads the Rock Island has determined to
make an aggressive fight against the inter-
urban electric lines competing with 1t in
Iowa. Beginning Sunday 1t will put in
service thirteen new trains between Cedar
RAPIDS and Iowa City. These trains, taken
in connection with the trains now run, will
make practically an hourly service between
Iowa City and Cedar Rapids.
In addition to running as many trains as
its electric competitors the Rock Island
will meet its rate of fare. Similar service
will be inaugurated between Des Moines
and Colfax by the Rock Island.
The Alton and the Illinois Central have
declared that their interurban service is
satisfactory and is meeting all competition
OF the electric lines paralleling them.
Whea the Union Pacific has completed
the construction of the new gasoline motor
cars they probably will be put in operation
as suburban service to head of the con-
struction Of competing electric lines.
