CONFERENCE FINN
ON TRANSFER BILL
Disregard Opp ation of the
Commissioners.
WILL HOLD BIG MASS MEETING
CitI1ens' Measure Declared to Be
Least Likely to BE Successfully
Attacked in the COurts-Corpora-
tion Counsel Thomas Supports
the Works Proposition.

Despite the opposition OF the District
Commissioners, who yesterday announced
that they would support the Works uni
versaI transfer bill, as amended by them
instead OF the reciprocal transfer BILL re-
Gently framed by the citizens conference
on universal transfers, the executive
committee of the organization last night
adopted a resolution, standing by its ap-
prevail OF the citizens bill.
I'VE reiterate our approval of the ctti-
zens' BILL" reads the resolution, "as a
measure which, II enacted into law. will
most surely provide universal transfers
upon the street railway lines Of the Dis
trict; which will be least likely to be
successfully attacked through the courts,
and which will be most equitable IN its
operation both to the people and to the
railway companies"
Mr.. Thomas Is Busy.
Referring to the decision Of the Com
missioners, which was reached yesterday,
after Corporation Counsel Thomas had
presented a brief report. recommending
the enactment OF the amended Works bill,
the resolution, adopted by the conference
last night, points out that Mr.. Thomas ad-
mitted in his report lack Of study of the
two bills presented to him for considera-
ion.
Press OF other public business demand
ing attention forbids immediate consid-
Grafton OF the difference in detail as to
the extent in operation OF the proposed
transfer system in the two bills" says
the corporation counsel.
Mr.. Thomas objection to the citizens
bill was with respect to the plan for
adjustment of rates for settlement be-
tween the various railway companies,
as provided by the measure.
The citizens BILL" says Mr.. Thomas.
fixes a rate OF ~ cents for the re-
demption of a transfer. 1t Is likely
that street railway companies could
make sufficient showing in the first
instance to secure an injunction against
the rate as noncompensatory. particu-
larly as the bill does not provide
against this exigency. If no injunction
is obtained. on final hearing the rate
may be found unreasonable, noncom-
pensatory. or confscatory, and, II so
found, the bill will fail OF it's purpose.
In other words, the rate feature makes
the bill nonelastic on the rate ques-
ton"

of the outsider and no man can ever be convinced

That has been said, the oldsfashioned county
fair hasn't been changed beyond recognition even
to this day, is all the more matter of surprise
when take into account the revolutionary
changes that have taken place in other phases
of rural life The Introduction of rural free de-

ravages of time and the onslaught OF modern

three to half dozen fairs held within a radius
OF say twenty or thirty miles OF course. this
swells the gate receipts and It also results in
the exhibit classes being better filled
On the other hand. the motor car has brought
to the county fairs certain patronage from city
folk who almost never attended these rural exhibit
tions in the old days. Some of the city folks are
those who have friends or relatives in the country
with whom they hold a reunion at the fair
Others are one-time rural residents who, having
gone to town and made their pile" find that
they can come back via the automobile when
they would not take the trouble If 1t meant getting
up early IN the morning to catch an excursion
train And finally there the city folk who

the city may not add to the gaiety OF the
sion, particularly, for the country people at the
county fair, but their contributions at the ticket
wondow are well worth having and generally ap
preciated, for be it known the average county
fair is conducted by farmers and other members
of the community who can't wholly overlook the
financial side.
Yet another Influence that has helped the
county fair in our time is the suppression of
betting and the abandonment OF racing at most
of the race courses near ths large cities. Racing
of kind another goes on at almost all our
country fairs and whereas It is not supposed to
be ACCOMPANIED by betting there opportunities

be added, that most fairs throughout the United

Liquor selling on the grounds nearby has long
