earners when it opposes any agree.
ment whereby the city becomes a
partner in the Traction company. The
city should either own all or none
Owning none, it should insist upon
strict regulation.
In the opinion of The Wageworke1
the best possible solution of the prob
lem lies along the following lines:
The company to pay all legitimate
taxes when due. H
The company to be allowed to pay a
dividend Of per cent upon the &C
tual amount invested.
All net receipts-money left after
paying all expenses of operation-to
be invested in betterments, extensions
etc.
A minimum wage scale Of not less
than 20 cents an hour to all men en-.
gagged in the operating service.
The heating and lighting branches
of the company to be listed and taxed
separately, and not to be considered
as part of the traction problem save
in the light of customers OF the Trac-
ton company. This would mean that
whatever receipts of the company
from heating and lighting be consid-
cred part of the gross receipts of
the Traction company.
The public owes the Traction COM
pany stockholders a reasonable profit
upon their investment.
The Traction company owes the city
better service, better cars, better road
bed. extension of lines.
The way has been cleared for
speedy adjustment of all difficulties.
Let us have an end to jockeying for
position, an end to playing safety, an
end to everlasting contention that has
resulted in miserably inadequate street
railway facilities.
The men now in control of the
Traction company are men of large
affairs. Their interests all lie in Lin
coin, and they are, or should be, as
much interested in better street rail-
way facilities as the rest of us. We
believe they are, and that just as soon
as the wave of thigh financing" SUBJ
sides they will devote their energies,
their time and their capital to making
the Lincoln street railway profitable
by making it of the utmost service to
the people.

THE CHRISTMAS WAGEwoRkER

The Wageworker appears this week
| in Christmas garland it really be-
| lieves it has reason to feel proud of
| it's appearance. 1t also has reason to
feel proud of the evidences of its
standing among the merchants of Lin
coin as an advertising medium. It
does feel proud of that standing, and
it expects to earn further favor along
these lines.
The Wageworker confesses that in
the past it has made serious business
mistakes It has been bilked once or
twice by advertising takers, and thus
has innocently assisted in bilking ad-
vertisers.
But never again!
The next expert advertising So
licitor' who comes along and offers to
put out a special edition" of The
Wageworker is going to be dropped
from the roof of the Labor Temple.
The fellow who has a scheme to make
a pot of money "for both of us" out
of the friendship of business men for
organized labor, is going to get some
advertising for himself that will not
be to his liking.
Hereafter all the advertising in The
Wageworker will be solicited by the
business manager of The Wageworker,
or cared for by him when it is offered
without solicitation.
In future If any man approaches you
and asks you for an advertisement for
The Wageworker, and holds out any
inducements other than good circu-
lation-who says certain percentage
goes to this or that enterprise, or who
case of refusal to patronize-if any
thing like that occurs in future, just
detain the gentleman a few minutes
and telephone The Wageworker and
the police.
The Wageworker has advertising
space to sell, but it will sell the same
on its merits. It is willing to risk q
comparison between itself and any
other labor paper in the United States
or Canada. 1t hasn't the largest cir
culation of any paper in Lincoln, but
it comes nearer to covering it's fielG
than any other paper-a statement
that we will willingly offer proof t.
substantiate If any advertiser, present
or prospective, invites it.
The Wageworker would have it dis
tinctly understood that at no time
has it knowingly allowed any misrep
reservations to be made. That they
have been made we now know. It is
to avoid repetition that The Wage
worker now makes this public state
ment and acknowledgment.
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1909-12-18

Lincoln will show their loyalty to
the labor movement by patronizing
their friends who advertise in The
Wageworker The business men who
advertise in this paper are friendly
to the cause or they would not aid
in supporting it's official organ. And
they want the labor trade, or they
would not take pains to seek it
through the only channel which is
certain to lead up to that trade. The
consideration they show the move
ment and the enterprise they display
in trying to get in touch with it is
worthy of handsome return in the
way of support from that movement.
