My bill is an attempt to secure
an equalization of the benefits be-
tween the people who give the car
franchises, through Congress, as
their agent, and the men who re-
ceive the benefits of those fran
.chises.
Refers to Big Dividends.
The companies here are capital
lied at six times more than they
cost, and vet they pay enormous
dividends on that capitalization.
This is ample evidence Of the
tremendous earning capacity of the
companies. Some part of these
earnings belongs to the people, and
would reduce the general burden of
taxation or go toward beautifying
the city.
'As for the uniye.s sal transfer sys-
TEN, the average ride here is only
about four miles. In Chicago we
are about to have unified street
car system by which YOU can ride
forty miles for five cents. 1t does
seem To me as only fair that people
be allowed TO ride anywhere they
want to in radius of four miles for
five cents.
Chicago Gets a Share.
ALSO Chicago is to get So Per
cent of the net earnings OF the
street car companies.
There ought to be d provision
in the bin against the use of trail
ers at certain periods, and / don't
know but what 1 may insert that
clause later.
The District Commissioner Ger
tainly ought to have the power Of
making the companies run as many
cars as they think advisable.
If there is no penalty by which
they can compel such action, we

clause in the bill"

CHEAPER GAS
FOR DISTRICT
MADDEN s AIM
Preparing Figures to Be
Presented to House
Committee Proving
His Contentious.

Letters indorsing the move to Sc
cure cheaper gas for the District of
Columbia have begun pouring in
on Representative Madden of Chi
eago, who introduced his bill in
the House yesterday providing that
illuminating gas shall be furnished
to patrons at the rate Of - cents
per 900 feet.
In these letters it is stated that for
several yessFsn nhIafVfeHals and citizens
associations have demanded cheaper
gas. and Mr.. Madden has been referred
10 the records of many citizens asso-
Citations FOR resolutions the oIganl[a-
tions have adopted declaring Tor the
cheaper gas
Mr. Madden regards these communica-
UiOus as confederation OF his contention
that cheaper gas is not only posi-
bility. but is a well Demonstrated prac-
tiCal thing. He is holding IN FeseFN g
Il full set of figures, comparative ana
otherwise. which he VIII lay before the
House and District OF Columbia Com
mittee as evidence 10 show that gas
C0mnanies here can make an excellent
profit on gas selling IL at 20 cents
Give It Away and Win.
The statement Las even been made
that a gas company can practically
give away its gas, and yet break even
on the deal because Of it's protts in
the side lines Of the business Mr..
Madden expects TO demonstrate that
the gas can be made and delivered at
a cost OF less than 90 cents per 1000
feet.
Campaigns for cheaper gas have been
started frequently in this city. but for
various reasons have been allowed 10
sag and finally drop altogether. Mr..
Madden says he will not let up in his
feat for this reform until Congress has
raken definite action on the proposition.
He feels assured that members OF Con-
gress having once learned an lhe IdcIISS
i'm connection with the business, VIII
adopt his view of the matter.
His bill has been referred TO the COM
v1iftee ON District OF Columbia. III which
body Mr.. Madden has warm friends.
That he viii be given hearing OeIofe

nents Of his measure is undoubted,

Secretary Not Worried.

Mr.. Moseley is not especially worried
about the attack on himself He has
prepared an answer. which will prob
ably be used during the discussion of The
hours Of service bill, in which he charges
some serious things against the rail-
road officials. He shows that the ex-
plantations given in the railroad pamph-
let do not at all tally with those made
under oath to the commission He ad-
mits that he accepted as accurate these
swoy~i statements, which are required by
law, and drew his statistics from them.
He says:
In the facts concerning these accI-
dents, as furnished TO Mr.. Rice (author
If the pamphiet by the railroad offi-
ciaIs there are some statements that do

out that in all these cases. II the faces

as stated TO the commission, the official

hospitals II was stated that both the
patients would recover.

tired after his wife last evening, and It
is thought that after turning out the
gas. he turned the thumb screw par
TALLY on again.

Mrs. Beuhne when seen by n reporter
said:

Political action, to be of any
value to labor, must be by the
working class, and this is Social
ism, and anything less may hurt,
but will not help in any apprc-
ciable degree, the exploited slaves of
capitalism.
Man has always sought the
mastery of his fcllowman. To
ens1ave his fellow in some form
and to live from his labor has
been the handspring of human
action. To escape submission,
not in freedom, but in mastery over
others has been the controlling de-
sire, and this has filled the world
with slavery and crime.
Socialism is compelling capital
lists to become philanthropists, and
large employers to purchase tenn
porary truce by introducing indus
trial bettcrment. Review of Re-
views.
