THE GLOBE-MIAMI TRAIN SERVICE

In view of the present uncertainty as to what manner of train service will be afforded over the extension between this city and Miami the meeting of the Globe chamber of commerce. to be held in the near future, takes on a signific- ance that is very closely related to local busi- ness interests.
 It is only natural for the people of Globe to look to the chamber of commerce for action that will help to bring about settlement of the transportation question in every way favorable to the local merchant This institution is made up of representative business and professional men, It's particular work is to procure every possible advantage for Globe and for Globe $ commercial life on which all present and future prosperity depends. That it will fail in this instance to do all in it's power to obtain trans portation facilities to and from Miami is not at all likely. In its past action, the chamber of commerce has ever shown itself alert to every opportunity that made for Globes betterment And this city's debt to its efforts is great, how great we will probably never fully realize with i'll our allotted portion of existence. It is mak- ing Globes history, present and future by ev- cry action of public import that it takes
 Now a railroad is not constructed to any point until demand for it is created. The Miami ex- tension, as anyone will readily admit, would never have been built had no business interests desired it. Railway construction like any other branch of industry, is first of all purely busi- ness proposition Before a new line is built, the company that is going to invest its thousands in its construction must have reasonable assur- ance that justifable amount of patronage is to be forthcoming. With this assurance comes the railroad. This business formula rarely fails
 In just the same way, and for approximately the same reasons, hourly motor train service from Globe to Miami is not likely to become a reality unless some representative body of men makes request therefor and backs up this re- quest with the assurance of reasonable support by way of business patronage The attitude of railway company to group of business men in case of this kind amounts to nothing less than the tacit agreement, ''Ask and you shall receive"
 The benefits accruing to Globe from the run ming of passenger and express cars to and from Miami every hour for twelve hours a day can hardly be exaggerated. With gasoline motors, regular and speedy service would be afforded Mail could be quickly carried. And Globes merchants could proftably furnish their wares to Miami patrons
 Failing of gasoline motor service, what will result9 Let us assume that two trains day would be run to and from Miami, as has already been rumored about town In all probability, the first of these trains would leave before busi- ness hours in the morning. This would carry the workingmen to Miami. The chances are that the other would leave Globe in the evening. af- ter business hours. This would be of great con venience to transients who might wish to spend the day in Globe and return to Miami in the evening These two trains would be great ac commodation to the workng1nan. and to the oc casional passenger But where, pray tell, under this system of transportation, would the Globe business man receive his due. The addition of another train at midday or whereabouts, while 1t might help some, would not give the kind of
