Car Routing is
Up to Conference

Rock Island, Feb. 24.-Editor The
Argus: l have noted with interest
The Argus attitude apropos of the
discussion of street car routing in the
business district, and have observed
with satisfaction its broad-minded dis
position to treat both business streets
fairly. Now what wo would like to
know is which lines should be run on
Third avenue. RESIDENT.
While The Argus has sought with
exact fairness to present both sides
of the controversy, which happily now
is ceasing to be a controversy, pub
fishing both the claims and desires of
Third avenue and the position of
Second avenue. it stated at the very
outset that it did not pretend to say
or presume to dictate what lines should
traverse Third avenue. But. as 1t said
maintains that the Tri-City Railway
company should be required to remove
the rusty rails from Third avenue, as
it has repeatedly promised to do, and
to provide a double track from Fiji
teenth TO Twentieth over which cars
should run at regular intervals. This
NAV be accomplished without damage
to Second avenue as the time honored
main business thoroughfare on which
should be continued a common point
which every car that enters Rock
Island should pass"
The car routing question may now
be left to the joint conferences for
what promises to be an amicable ad-
justment

First avenue. MUCH encouragement
was being met with, and many of the
owners of frontage had signed their
consent. Opposition had been en-
countered on both Sixteenth and Sew
enteenth street. Secretary Mayer
Levi of the Rock Island Industrial
commission offered to render any as
sistance in his power to the Walsh
brothers in obtaining their right-of-
way into the city.
PIOv Company Ordinance
Aldermen Utke, Holzhammer and
Blochlinger, a special committee to
confer with the officials of the Rock
Island Pillow company as to it's street
vacation ordinance, reported that the
company was not ready yet to rein
state its request to the council, and
would not do SO until the route of
the Rock Island Southern was fixed
definitely. Furthermore, two of the
directors of the company were absent
from the city, and no action could
be taken until their return in about
three weeks. In the meantime the
matter remains in status quo.
Tri-City Gives Notice of Application.
The Tri-City Railway company
gave public notice today of it's pro-
agreed upon with the council in COM
mittee of the whole after going over
the local situation. The application
is for an ordinance for the compile
ton of the Long View loop, the Thir-
ty-eighth street extension south to
Eighteenth avenue and the new line
into the west end factory district.
All are asked for under a 20-year
franchise superintendent Huntoon,
speaking of the application for the
proposed franchise this morning said:
President Porter has concluded to
go ahead and ask for the franchises
as originally agreed upon, holding
that inasmuch as the people, through
the mayor and council originally ask
ed the company to make the extern
sions, our duty is to go ahead and
secure the rights and then seek the
franchise for the extensions describ-
ed If the council sees fit to grant
and good. We will have done our
part. Of course the details of the or
dinance are not contained in the notice
of petition. That remains to be
agreed upon with the council later.
AS to the matter of car routing, that
too may be adjusted in the framing of
the ordinance. That, too, is a ques-
ton that the company is not respon-
sibIe for raising. It was brought up
by the mayor as he has already pub
licly stated. We are yelling to oper
ate the cars through the business sec
ton in accordance with any plan tina
may be agreed upon"
The Rock Island Southern.
Representatives of the Rock Is
land Southern are going ahead with
the property frontage on Fifth ave
nue. and along Eighteenth street and
seem to be meeting with a reasonable
degree of success. The rlght-of-way
is without objection, so far as known,
and seems TO be regarded as 4
logical route. The only thing
to be guarded about is that
the petition provides for
strictly street railway ordinance
grand under the city ordinance for
electric street railway passenger, ex-
press and mail business. and is not
to be construed in any way for steam
railroad purposes under any circum
stances. These are matters tina
should be looked after in any ordi
nance as should the specific provision
as to the type of the cars.

PROMISED mutually satisfactory ad-
justment Of the proposed rearrange-
ment of street car routes through the
business section is seen in a call for a
conference next Tuesday evening at
the city hall between committees rep
resenting Second and Third avenues
and the city council AS has been pre-
dicted by The Argus, reasonableness
and conservatism are prevailing and
the business interests are coming to-
gether in a better understanding of
the claims of their respective thor
oughfares.
There has never been cause for a
quarrel. and there isn't going to be
any. The business interests repre-
senting both avenues believe they are
able to agree among themselves, as
they should do. committee of the
council will meet with them and re-
ceive their verdict, as it will be re-
ported to the city council, with a rec
ommendation that it be considered in
cident to the extension Of the fran
chises of the railway company, ques-
ton that is now before the council for
action.
An Interurban Demanded.
Business men on both Second and
Third avenues are urging that the
council, before giving further conces-
sions to the street railway company
seek to have embodied in the ordin-
ance provision for an interurban line
to the southern part of Rock Island
county. This was the drift of senti-
ment expressed at the meeting of the
council last night. II was pointed out
that the company had taken care Of
Davenport and Moline under this head,
leaving the city of Rock Island prac-
tically locked in. 1t was shown that
the interurban promised Davenport by
the company the present year. Musca-
tine to be the terminal, would have the
effect of diverting travel from the
lower end of Rock Island county over
the Muscatine high bridge into the
latter city, and Davenport would be
the gamer. Thus Davenport would be
drawing directly from the rich terri
tory that of right belongs to Rock
Island
Cleaning Up Market Square.
The council sat as jury in the Sec
ond-Third avenue controversy, occupy
ing two hours to listening to the pre-
sentation of arguments from both
sides. Alderman Frank Blochlinger
opened the street railway discussion
by stating that it was about time the
council reached an understanding with
the Tri-City company. He believed in
dealing fairly with the corporation,
and would not be for the exaction of
impossible concessions. But he did

A Tlp on Oats.

According to the Saturday Evening

on Long Island came to New York
one morning to do a little specializing
He was great believer In tips.
On the ferryboat it came to him
that he had had somehow a tip on
oats. He couldn't remember just what
1t was. but somebody had told him to
buy oats. So when he reached his
brokers' office he looked into oats bit
and bought some. Oats were active.
He pyramided skillfully and by the
close of the market was $1,000 ahead.
OF course such luck as that had to
be celebrated, and It was AS the cele-

The history Of protection has bee
most remarkable. Fifty years ago til,
question seemed to be closed. Great
Britain had adopted free trade, the
United States had started in the same
direction, and the whole world seemed
about to follow. Today the entire sit
uation seems to be reversed. The
whole civilized world. except Great
Britain, has become protectionist. and
the very year last passed has witness
ed the desertion Of English principles
by the last English colony which held
out. This has been done In defiance OF
the opinions Of every political econo-
mist in England who wrote prior to
1850 and Of most of those who have
written since.
