The Two-Cent Rate.

ssS Organized effort by the T,3 iA.,G bacKee

I'm favor Of tho two-cct,t ratio for pas

books at $50 per book, usnble by any one,
thus taking away the restrictions as TO
.g't the sole right Of the purchaser TO- use
IL the book and will MISC reduce tho price rice
for tickets from three and one-halr@ ana
three cents per mile to mn average OF
two ana one-half cents per mile. Despite
this concession, business men OF lhlla-
delphia are not Jubilant, for they still
& want the nterchhngcnbl mileage book
and say they. will continue to fight until nth
+his is obtained The fact that every
local political party In PENNSYLVANIA has
made the two-cent faro on issue N \ 4, ITS
coming campaign doubtless added a goou
deal Of weight to the arguments made
Z by the T. p. A. and business men for TINS
reduction, but Pennsylvania is not alone
in desiring material reduction IN pafl:sseen rl-
i ger rate. A number of western States
have gone on record through their IAegls--
@latures ana now that the Corporation
Commission has issued its call for all
railroads ana steamship companies to
show cause why the two-cent rate should
not be put into effect in Virginia, It Is
possible that changes will BIO made IN
this state also. The two-cent rate, Is al
ready in force on the New York. New
Haven and Hartford Railroad, and Is
also tn use over almost oil Of the lines OF
the Boston ana Maine. The result of
lowering the rate over these roads has
been ii to Increase the traffic. but
tho territory traversed by the New
York, New Haven and Hartford
and the Boston and Maine is very
densely populated. It Will be argued
therefore, by tho railroads, that the same
rule is not properly applicable to I'LL rail-
roads Irrespective Of the sources upon
which they can draw for their passenger
traffic, Without in any way attempting
to state in advance what tho outcome III
Virginia will be. 1t is significant that
Tie Pennsylvania Railway has yielded to

Legislative attack. III Virginia, though

What One Chamber Of Commerce

Cleveland IS leading Amcricn to-day
in tho development OF municipal spirit.
Under the guidance Of Mayor johnson!
1t has fought, ana apparently Is about
TO win, Its battle for cheaper street car
fare, which Is one Incidental In It's fight
for freeing the city from tho Influence
OF grating corporations. But 1t Is not
chiefly by It's work for cheaper street
car fares and better gus and water that
Cleveland is making itsclf famous. for IT
has developed municipal spirit that Is
calling for beauty OF tho city ana loyalty
OF the citizens as few other cities have
done IN modern times. An article by
Frederick G, Howe. author OF Tho City
the Hope Of Democracy" In the current
number OF The Outlook, describes some
Cleveland Thoso who have once come
within the sphere and touch OF q real
love and appreciation OF their city can
X understand. even In America, something
OF the spirit that actuated the citizens
OF medieval German and Italian cities
which wcro indeed closely woven and
raaryelously vital little republics. To-day
tho city Is only too often regarded rs n
mere commercial co-pnrtnerHhip, In which
the citizens receive police and fire pro-
lection, water aad gas. streets and
schools as n mora or less adequate return
Tor tho taxes they pay. But tho highest
development ora city can only be reached
wien tho cltizons see In that organism
j means for developing and maintaining
citizenship which could never be al
tained through the mere barter and trade
Of taxes paid and services received. Mr.
Howe thinks that nothing has done mor'
toitdeye,op tho higher spiri, OF cieve
land than Its Chamber Of Commerce
which. though 1t stands for tho develop
nlent OF trade, the upbuilding OF locp
Industry and the projection OK the frelgh
and passenger traftlc Of the city, has ye

CHICAGO LOSES GAS SUIT
Judge Grosscup Holds that I6-Cent
Ordinance Passed Five Years
Ago L. Void.

CHICAGO Feb. 23--Chcagos 75-cent gas
suit against the Peoples Gas Light and
Coke company was held to be invalid and
not enforceable by a decision OF Judge
Peter S. Grosscup of the United States
circuit court late this afternoon. In 1900
the city council passed an ordinance liking
the price OF gas in this city at 20 cents a
thousand. The gas company refused to
recognize the ordinance and continued to
charge 81 thousand. Two years later the
city brought suit against the company to
compel them to rebate the people % cents
on every dollar. that had been paid the
company for gas after the passage Of the
Decent ordinance.
The Scent gas ordinance just passed by
the city council and accepted by the gas
company invaldated the 75-cent ordinance.
but many OF the consumers who had
saved their gas receipts since 1900 still held
them i'm the hope that the city would win
the suit and that the gas company would
be compelled to pay the rebate.
In the Ave years since the litigation
began the amount of money involved has
grown steadily each month until now 1t
amounts to several million dollars The
suit will be appealed to the United States
supreme court.
