Whom the Tip Helps.

Did you ever wonder why sleeping
car companies tolerate tipping :?
There's a reason. 1t was disclosed the
other day in a lawsuit in New York
court in which a sleeping-car porter
was forced to testify as to the wages
paid him. He declared that the COM
pany employing him paid him only s25
month and that the tips he collected
amounted to about SIS a month on the
average. In other words. the sleeping
car company pays it's employees only
one-fourth Of their wages and compels
the travelling public to pay the other
three-fourths. When you tip the por-
ter. remember that you are not really
tipping him. but the sleeping-car COM
pany. Every time YOU tip the porter,
YOU are adding to the size of the COM
pany's dividends. already swelled be-
yond a reasonable return upon the ac-
tual capital invested. If the sleeping
car companies employ 10000 porters
and the public pays 5000 of the annual
wages of each. it is contributing an
nually s9000.000 to the companies. in
itself enough to pay per cent on
$150,oO0,000, to say nothing of the profit
the companies collect in their high
prices for sleeping-car accommoda-
tons. If the companies made no other
profit. the tips it forces from the
public would be enough. Tipping is
outrageous, but save your indigna-
ton for the companies behind the por-
ter and dc not vent it all on him.
Your tips really go to the companies
and they count on them as part Of
their profits.

Short Politics for Busy Voters.
Showing the How Of 1t Be-
tween Then and Now.
Continued from Wednesday,

Continued from Wednesday,
A nonth ago Democrats wanted to
know how Gov Fernald had been
spending the Peoples money. Since
they discovered. they try to blind their
eyes to the noble showing. The Wa
tervi!le Sentinel. the Argus and DAM
ariscotta Herald however, cried out SO
persistently for figures that the Jour
nal feels like offering a few more
figures for everybody's inspection.
And kindly recall that in these little
daily chapters only the payments by
the State for common schools are
taken. In addition, many of the towns
are paid large sums on State roads,
city hospitals. pensions. High schools,
colleges and other enterprises and in
situations.
Today's figures are for Clinton
This Kennebec town in 1882 under a
Democratic governor paid a State tax
of $2643.75 and received from the State
for her common schools $910.66. In
1882 the tax rate was AZ mills.
In 1909, under the administration of
Gov. Fernald Clinton paid tax to the
State of s1792.67 and was paid back for
common schools alone $130l,72.
Clinton will vote the Fernald ticket
all right and would be idiotic il she
didn't. 4fz

schools, reformatories and the prisons

prison has always been accounted

that all his troubles have been due to
opium or morphine, claiming that as

forms, whether as a medicine or dope.

fierce battle which the fish gave after
they had been speared with the iron
