BEAMS SENSE
OF HUMOR

One of the funniest things
brought off in a long time was the
naive remark of General Manager
Bean of the T. r. e p last night
following the rumpus with Treas
urer Meath as to whether the
railroad would turn over to the
general fund of taxation what
was due.
1--WE saw to 1t that the people
both in Tacoma and Seattle were
not Inconvenience by the pro-
ceedings," quoth Mr. Bean. Mr.
Bean possesses evidently a good
ly sense of humor.
The idea of the T. r. and P.
running around and bringing
money by the auto full to pay
some of its just debts or make a
bluff at paying them to the peo-
pie and at the same time continue
serving the people with car rides
struck Mr.. Bean on the funny
bone and the way he "kidded" the
reporters about the magnanimity
of the street car company was
great business.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-11-16

Had any private citizen attempted to evade taxes
for three years he would have had his property sold
have asked why he did not pay.
Why all this trouble to collect taxes from the pub
Ire service utilities? The street car company says
the tax was too high. But the court says not Every
citizen thinks his tax is too high but he pays it just
the and does it without having the standing
army called out.
The fact is that public service corporations have
been fattening off the public and thriving through
special privileges so long that when attempt is
made to make them do private citizens do they
imagine they are being wonderfully abused.

IF FIRE BREAKS OUT IN
PICTURE SHOW? WHAT?
Times Readers Letter Develops Fact That in Case
of Fire Catastrophe Nigh Occur.

In the Editors Mail a Tacoma
woman suggests rear exits for the
five cent pictures theaters, declar-
ing that of the nine theaters ex-
isting on the main streets sot one
has a rear exit.
The Times made a tour of the
show houses yesterday to see
what chances there would be for
the patrons to save themselves
should a fire break out at the
street entrance.
In just one of them is there a
rear exit. The new Ideal thea
ter, 916 Pacific avenue, has an
exit on Commerce street with
two exits on Pacific avenue.
The others would find the pa
irons up against a solid wall with
no chance to escape should fire
occur.
No one has been burned up in
these picture show houses so of
course no action has been taken.
Public officials generally wait un-
til spurred by some awful calam-
ity before looking ahead to what
might occur.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-11-16

At the Circuit theater there
were 100 patrons. The exit was
a narrow door on Pacific avenue
with the lantern between the
audience and the exit the same as
in all.
At the Palace theater further
down Pacific avenue there were
70 persons looking at the pic
lures. At the Lyric there were
100, at the Shell so, at the Coast
60, at the five cent theate~ at the
penny arcade there were-50 more.
The c. street theaters had about
the same number.
All are constructed on the
same plan. A narrow entrance,
the lantern with infammable
films right over the doorway and
the audience facing solid wall
in the rear, excepting the houses
on the east side of G street, which
have windows at the Commerce
street end.
At night time some of these
theaters are at least comfortably
filled with people and If a fire
broke out 1t is difficult to see
low they could be saved.

SOCIALISM

tBy United Press Leased Wire
ST. LOUIS. Nov. 16.-Ultimate
domination of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor by the socialists
was predicted today by Max
Hayes, leader of the socialists at
the convention now in session
here. Hayes did not Venture to
say that the socialists would con-
troll the present session of the
Federation or the next, but the
declared that the handwriting
was on the wall and that socialist
control was only a matter of time.
"In 1900 and 1901, but one or
two delegates dared voice social
istic utterances, declared Hayes.
To-day there are 85 of us in the
Federation. We have Victor Ber-
ger to represent us Id the con-
gress of the United States and
our upward march shows itself
everywhere.
81 have no axe to grind, and
would rather not speak regarding

people pay who not granted public favors it rails
es a mighty howl, fights until completely whipped
and then at last pays up under protest.
In other words the street railway company of
Tacoma does not intend to do anything it is not
forced to do by brute energy Everything the people
get out of it must be taken out with club. 1t pur-
poses to make it just difficult for the people az
possible to force it to bear its share of the public bur-
den, and it is using the money paid it by the people
to fight in the courts to resist the just taxes levied
against it.
No wonder the people are tired and sick of it all
and preparing to take charge of the whole gamut
Of public service utilities and operate them under
municipal ownership for the whole people instead
of for a few bondholders and stock iobbers.

creed OF RAILROAD COMPANY AROUSES DISGUST OF PUBL

The street railway and power companies paid their
taxes.
So did the common citizens.
But the street railway paid "under protest" It
dumped over $4,000 in glittering gold onto the
counters of the treasurer but exacted receipt which
it hopes may give it hold to recover the amount in
the courts.
A thousand Tacoma citizens dumped an equal
amount of gold the counters of the treasurer in
settlement of their taxes and did it without protest
and with the simple tax receipt
The street railway corporations fought the taxes
for three years in the courts, STAYED off payment
after the courts said they must pay and then finally
come whining in and demand receipt saying they
paid ''under protest."
