Why We Ask Coz peration
(ConckNstom)

For nearly four months past, the Omaha & Council Bluffs
Street Railway Company has published full page articles in the
Sunday newspapers. for the purpose of making itself better
understood by the public.
We have reason to believe that our efforts have met viii
a large degree of success. The facts presented were given in
good faith and we believe the information was received in the
same spirit in which it was given.
In taking the position that the public is entitled to know
all the essential facts about our company, we recognized the
mutually Of interest which exists between a street railway
organization and the people.
Very little of the space used was devoted to abstract state
ments, and none to preaching A determined effort was made
to offer genuine information in a way that could be grasped by
anyone who took the trouble to read it. Care was had to in
sure its reliability No time was wasted in b uncombe or in
trying to represent conditions other than as they we're.
The history of street railways in Omaha was, traced from
the organization of the first horse railway company by local
men in 1867 to the present day. 1t was shown how large in
vestments were made in horse, cable and electric railways, which
were rendered worthless by the pace of improvements and re-
duced to junk value long before worn Out. 1t was pointed out
how the first complete electric equipment became wholly made
quate in less than a dozen years, and by 1902 sufficient only
for a ground work on which to reconstruct and re-equip the
entire system.
Different phases Of operation were discussed and an earnest
attempt made to give the public an adequate idea of what con-
sttutes the street railway today, and of the tremendous i'm
provements in urban transportation during the last twenty
years.
TWAS shown by facts, figures and diagrams that the Omaha
street railway passenger is today receiving far more for his
HNhCl tHdH OclOle, dtlOugH nearly every element enter
ing into the cost OF traction operation has, like the necessities
OF life, mounted upwards in the last ten or fifteen years.
1t is proper and right that public service corporations
should be required to bear their full share of the burden of tax
alton. The Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway Company
pays annually about one-sevenfh of all the personal taxes as
sessed in the city of Omaha.
Upon the strength of the entire showing, we think we
are justified in asking the cooperation of the public to the
extent of meeting us in a friendly spirit in considering our
problem and dealing with questions which affect us.
The cooperation we desire is not the kind that would
perform our work for us or lift our responsibilities from our
shoulders. Rather it is the same appreciation and encourage
ment which is accorded any worthy commercial enterprise
whose labor and ambitions help to make the city great.
A large city cannot exist in the United States without
street railways. Neither can street railways exist without
cities. They are mutually dependent.
On the one hand, efficiently conducted railways enable
Omaha daily bee., 1909-05-23

vantages of cheaper land and rents and healthier environment;
permit residence and manufacturing districts to be maintained
IN distant sections; prompt ease of communication and dis
patch of trade, and make possible frequent journeys for recre-
alton and amusement to theaterS, parks and social gatherings.
On the other hand, the city and its population offer a pat
ronage which should pay the cost of operation and maintenance,
return a fair profit on a large amount of capital necessarily in
vested and allow a margin for depreciation to preserve the in
tegrty OF the property.
The street railway company that makes no profit is not a
good thing tor a city. The management of such a company
is confronted with a constant struggle to make both ends meet,
and this means the cutting down Of expenses and consequent
impairment of the service. The property of such a company is
not kept up to operating efficiency; no depreciation fund can
be provided and both the public and the corporation suffer.
Again, a proftless corporation finds it impossible, or verv
difficult to sell bonds or stock to obtain money for improve
mentS and extensions. 1t is forced to incur liabilities in excess
of the actual capital obtained, and these liabilities must later be
Hqudated in full
For thirty years there was, no profit in Omaha street rail
ways. 1t is only during the last ten years that the property has
succeeded IN properly establishing ITSELF 1t is now earning 4
per cent dividends on it's common stock and 5 per cent on its
preferred stock, and there is a healthy local demand for its Sc
curIes.
The street railway system of Omaha today is recognized
all over the country as a splendid system, in sound condition
financially and physically, and in a position to obtain capital for
improvements and extensions on fair terms. 1t is enabled to
maintain its service at a high standard, and to meet the needs of
a growing community as they arise. Its officers and directors
are constantly engaged with earnest endeavor to secure the
money necessary tor the company to keep pace with the grow
ing demands OF this great city. We do not expect these de-
mands will grow less, but rather that they will increase as time
goes on, and it is a matter of grave Importance that this COM
pany shall be able to continue its policy Of expansion rather
than be driven into the necessity of a more economical or
parsimonious policy.
There seems to be much misconception about our use of
the streets, and for that reason we wish to say here a few words
on that subject
The streets of cities are set apart for the use and convent
ence of the people, and it is proper and right that they should
be used for the transportation of its inhabitants, whether by
private or public conveyance. Our tracks are in the streets be-
cause the people want them there.
In conclusion, let us say that both utility managers and the
people are beginning to realize that there is only one way Of
getting a square deal and that is by giving a square deal. All
this company asks is a square DEAL and no city can afford to
grant less than this to its street railway corporation.

FEEDS PRISONERS
ON 6 CENTS A DAY
Chicago Sheriff Alleged to
Be Skimping Fearfully
on Fare.

How TO live on cents a day has
been solved in Chicago, II charges
made by the Citizens Association
against the sheriff prove to be true.
The association is seeking 10 force the
sheriff to expend a little more of the
20 IL cents day he receives for each
prisoner on food.
we found" says The association,
after thorough stigation, that
the grade Of beef pla Jes or briskets
used in feeding the prisoners could
be bought for cents a pound or less.
This indicates clearly that the cost
of the meat fed to :he prisoners does
not exceed 2 cents a day a man.
''The midday meal. in addition 20 the
meat, consists only OF a piece Of
bread and a vegetable. The total cost
OF this meal, according TO the esti-
mates given the association. does not
much exceed g cents. For breakfast
and supper the prisoners are given
only a piece OF bread and a tin cup
Of coffee. The cost of these meals
certainly does not exceed l IL cents
each"

APPLY LIGHT TEST

Women Find 1t Best to Try
Paper and Frocks by
Illuminant.

It would be a foolish woman who
would buy a frock for evening wear
without having it lighted up. yet how
many housekeepers ever think Of test
ing by artificial light articles that they
must live with by night as well as by
day.
II one does not make such a test the
result Is too often woefully disappOint-
ing In choosing papers one should be
particularly careful to see them in the
gasligbt as well as in sunshine. They
often are absolutely different, and rare
ly equally good to look at.

SAYS CANNED GOODS
DO NOT DETERIORATE

That foods properly canned do not
deterfOrate with age was a statement
made at a dinner of Gamers in Chi
cage a few days ago. Suppose a
customer desired a can of corn on
February p, 1920" said one of the
speakers, and he was given corn
canned in 1909 It would be rejected
with a demand for something fresher
and. although the 1909 article would be
found as fresh as that of 1920, it would
be lost
AT recent banquet in London canned
fruit taken from the ruins OF Pompeii
was found TO be fresh and fine. There
should be a law to compel the canning
of all products in such a manner that
they would keep for ages"
