replied: "It was ignorance more b

the cities might take over the plant;

end of the twenIy-One year terms
and there was a proSpec that the cit

pay any dividends at all in many cas-
es, so that when the term was up al
most the whole community was down
on the companies, and all h cities
had to do was to shake the tree and
the rotten fruit fell into their mouths.
The British companies opposed ex-
tensions, plastered their cars with I'M
slightly advertisements, and refused
to reduce fares, saying they could not
afford it. But the municipalities o
the lines, adopted electric traction
and sent the old horse-car systems to
the scrap heap, extended the lines. re-
duced the advertisements to due sub
ordination, lowered the fares, shorten
ed the hours of labor. and after all,
realized not the losses the companies
predicted, but comfortable profits for
the people. Except in the case of
Leeds. the rate of reduction of fares
is 9 to 80 times as great for the mu-
nfcipal period as for the company per
iod and so times as great for the mum
cipal systems as a group as compared
with the companies in a group Next
to the wish to obtain a better service
at lower fares, says Professor Parsons
the predominant motive in the munici
~palfzatiOn o British tramways has
been the desire to improve the coadi-
ton OF labor. The companies worked
the men IL to IA hours a day for z
days, while the cities have made the
hours of labor from 9 TO 10 per day,

ton.
Professor Parsons calls attention to
the rapid progress in municipal oper-
alton of street railways in Great Brit
ain. From 1894 to 1906 the number
OF municipal systems rose o 3 to
123. The marked success of munich
p~aliZation in Leeds and Glasgow, he
sets forth, gave tle movement ire
sistible momentum, and in 1906 all the
principal cities of the United Kingdom
had municipal operation of their tram
ways except Dublin, Bristol, Norwich
| and Edinburgh. The principal rea-
sons for the municipalization of Brit
ish tramways according to Professor
Parsons, have bee poor service by
the companies; their ill-treatment of
employees; their refusal to assent to
the adoption of electric traction, eX-
tension to suburban districts, and 9TH
er vital improvements; the constant
difficulty experienced by the cities,
amounting to practical impossibility
OF securing a reasonable regard to the
public interest, or even the fulfillment
of actual contracts; the growing be-
lief on the part of the public that the
streets and all monopoly uses of them
are public property which should not
be handed over to private parties, and
the desire that the profits of the un-
dertaking should inure to the benefit
of the public. When the Commission
was in London a visit was paid to Str
Clifton Robinson, the President of the
London United Tramway Company,
the largest in Great Britain. Mr.. In

asked: "Why was it the companies

petual and monopolistic franchises.
A city which desires a franchise for
itself or which oppose a private com
pany has at its command a more pow
erful political influence than any that
exists il the United States, declares
Mr.. Clark. This influence is obtained
through an Association of Municipal
ties, which Association is dominated
by the Town Clerks of the various
cities. These Town Clerks possess
great political power, especially in the
election OF Members of Parliament,
so that when a Town Clerk makes a
request of a member of h House of
Commons, tine usual result is not un-
like what occurs in America when a
political boss makes a similar request
of some public official whose election
he has made possible" Mr. Clark
quotes at some length from the min
ute of the evidence taken by the Roy
al Commission on London Traffic.
Sir. Herbert Jeykell, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Railway Department and
Sydney Morse, a solicitor testified
thai under the Tramway Act the local
authorities had practically an abso-
lutte veto power as applied to company
applications and that this power pre-
vented the extension and development
of the tramway systems. Arnold
Frank Hills, Chairman of the Thomas
Iron Works testified that the right of
Municipalities under the existing laws
to purchase the traction lines at the
end OF 81 years had resulted in Great
Britain being very much behind otn-
er countries in the development of ell
ectric and other tramways. Other wit
nesses before the Royal Commission
expressed the opinion hat the local
veto power not only restricted street
railway extension, but in many cases
was used as a means of eXtortion.

The hundreds of lodges which nave

Nat only have the hotel rates re-

all honor and frateral regard, assures
her sister lodges that no "roasts."

games were broken here when Abe
Brown, part owner in the Tonopah
the famous gambling resort of south
ern Nevada, lost 100000 in one sitting

one man.
While Brown gambled away 100000
in less than "a hours, he is actually

his fortune, and one third of his loss
is his winning as part proprietor.
The Tonopah gambling club is owned
by Brown, Kennedy and George Wing

in to play faro in his own house and in
short time lost over $4,000.
Wanted Limit Removed.
He wanted the limit taken off of the
game but the dealers could not agree
to this without the consent of tn other
two partners in the game. Accordingly
George Wingfield was called up at
Goldf1eld and the situation explained to
him.
Wingf1eld told the manager to raise
the limit to $4,000. The regulation
limit is $50. With the limit off the fun
began. Brown started into bet $4,000
on a single card. Luck was with him
at first and in a short time he was
nearly 100000 ahead of the game.
but fortune suddenly switched to the
other side of the faro layout and
Brown lost heavily.
