THE CLEKEL4Nn cALPAIGN.

Representative Burtons traction programme
is an attempt ut a practical and prompt soiu-
tion of Cleveland's street railway problem.
The voters Of that city have their choice. much
as the voters of Chicago had. between an "im-
mediate" and an ultimate" plan for improving
the street railway service. II they reelect
Mayor Johnson they will give him a license to
strive to bring about at some time in the in
definite future Scent fare IL they elect
Mr. Burton they will have at once what the
street railway company offers, seven tickets for
- cents and an investigation into the poss-
hility of fixing a lower fare which will enable
the company to pay dividends. Furthermore,
AIR Burton pledges his efforts, if elected, to
enarging and improving the traction facilities,
as, for instance, by the construction Of sub
way in the congested business section of the
city. As the street railway company has sig
nified its willingness. the basis OF seven
tickets for quarter and limited franchises. TO
build a number Of additional lines. Mr.. Bur
toms programme means a prompt betterment of
conditions.
How slow Mayor Johnson's plan is the vot-
ers know by experience. The sole result OF his
various terms in office in respect to- the achieve
ment Of a 3-Cent fare Is one line fifteen
miles long. The established traction company
controls 235 miles of car lines, on a good part
Of which the franchises have n long time TO
run. The Scent fare company apparently
has neither the money nor the credit TO build
the additions 10 the city's traction facilities
that are needed. and Mayor Johnson will not
make such terms with the larger company as
will enable IL 10 undertake additions 10 its sys-
tenn The election Of Mayor Johnson. then.
would mean that the city would have 10 get on
patiently with existing facilities until he was
able to bring about the surrender OF the estab
lished traction company. The election OF Mr.
Burton would mean a prompt extension OF the
existing lines.
Mr.. Burton's programme. temporarily. Mt
least, means the acceptance Of the traction
company's offer, and doubtless he will be ac
cused of running in the interest OF the street
railway company. But he enjoys TO such an
extent the confidence of the people OF Cleve-
land that such an attack will probably produce
little or no impression.
