What Do You Get Out of
8 That Street Car S. Per Cent?

Not long ago the newspapers
were telling us how smart we
were when we climbed into bed
with the. street railway compan-
les.
The people were told they had.
made bully business deaf when
they got S. per cent of the net
profits, although they didn't say
much about what a bully chance
the traction sharps had to juggle
the books and teach figures to do
some tall lying.
Anyhow, we turned Our streets
over to the big fnanciers-and
taxpayers keep on keeping those
streets in shape for the gas, cleo
trio and street railway companies.
What do the people get as
THEIR share of this wonderful
bargain?
Here's what they got:
They are packed, jarnrned,
rammed, cranned, crushed, hus-
tied and cussed into the street
cars like so many sardines in a
box.
They are hustled off at transfer
stations to wait in the heat, cold,
dust, rain, wind and puddles for
the car.
And when the car does come,
it is. already so overcrowded that
men, women and children risk life
and limb trying to get aboard.
=, More cars mean more help.
More help means more expense.
And that means less profits for
the people in this unholy business
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1911-11-11
The joke is on the people who

-TluC vi ollCCl Sdl >.
They never get their fingers in
any of this net profit. 1t doesn't
lower car fares. 1t may cut down
the taxes of the people who ride
to and from work in automobiles.
Low fares would do some good
for the people who ride on cars.
More cars and some comfort in
riding, would help some, too.
And we could forget that S.
per cent because we never got our
fingers on it anyhow.
The subway steal, the loop
scandal, protected crime, build
ing graft and innumerable other
crimes against the people-all
these are an open book to the
newspapers.
Yet, about all we get out of
them is an occasional spasm of
virtuous indignation when the
public protest is too loud and the
stink Of graft and corruption too
strong.
Then they go after the little
criminals, kick up fussy noise
antelope the people will hurry
up and forget.
All of which means that the
people of Chicago will get what
they want only when they 60
after it themselves.
All, they'll get from govern
ment by newspaper trust will
be handout. For the trust mem
bers must get theirs first.

THAT PERSONAL TAX
Answers to Questions Con-
corning the Tax and Who
Must Paw It

The new personal tax has caused
more or less comment and raised a
number of questions. Like all new
departures there is more or less ig-
norance as to what the tax really is
and who must pay it, and notices re-
caused more or less of dissa tisfaction
among the receivers. This is espec-
a'iv the case where the person was
either exempt from the old poll and
military tax, or one of them, for any
reason. The tax is way at trying
to make those people help support
the state who managed in various
ways to evade the payment of the old
tax. Particularly is this the case with
aliens who in some cases refrained
from becoming citizens and thus
evaded the military or poll tax. The
new law requires all male persons
who have reached maturity. to
also states that the same exerrp-
tons shall apply to this as was the
case in the former taxes. This means
that those who have served in the
army, either regular or militia for
the required terms of years, shall be
exempt from the present tax, and the
same rule applies to all who have
served as active members of volun-
teer fire company for the term of
three years. OF course the same thing
apnliee TO those who by reason OF
bodily infirrnity were exempt from the
military tax formerly imposed The
law says that those exempt from eth
err the military or poll tax shall be
exempt from the preseLt personnel tax
and as the exemptions from these
taxes were somewhat different, the
only way to judge is that anyone ex-
empt from either of the old taxes is
exempt from the present ONE The fact
still remains, however. that it rests
with the taxed to produce the proof
of this exemption.

OYSTER FIGHT
BEFORE COURT
State to Contest Suit Over the
Ownership of Feds About
New Haven

New Haven, March 6-The question
of whether many of the rich oyster
beds about New Haven are the prop
erty VI the State or of private inc
viduals-a dispute which has caused
long fight between the natural
growth oystermen, and the private
owners-is to be decided by suit
term of the Superior court here,
brought by Michael Hammond against
Captain Rowley The suit will be
fought for Hammond by the State.
This course was decided on by At
torney-General Light as the result of
bearing 1,500 names asking that this
be done.
1t is claimed by the plaintiff. who
while appearing as an individual in
this case represents practically all
of the natural growers, that the pri-
vate owners have usurped many of
the natural beds. The suit is the
occurred last week when Captain
Rowley had Hammond arrested tor
clustering on beds which the captain
claimed belonged to himself and the
Sea Coast Oyster company. After
warm trial Hammond was finally dis
charged for lack of evidence. These
particular grounds cover nearly
mile off Wilcox's pier and below Savin
Rock. Captain Rowley claims to own
at least sixty acres of this strip and
it was on this section that Hammond
was oysteringE at the time he was
arrested.
The outcome of this case. which
will probably be taken to the Supreme
court before it is definitely settled,
will be awaited with great interest
as it will mean the ousting of private
owners from many of the grounds in
this section or the legalization of their
claim.
The suit is brought chiefly to Dis
possess Rowley. but damages of $15.-
900 are also asked.

AVIATION NOT YET
AN EXACT SCIENCE

It may be that the various mfShaps
which have befallen MT. Paine and his
aeropfane. are not correctly represent
tative Of the dangers of aviation. IT
they exceed in number and extent the
average results of attempts to navt-
gate the air. 1t must follow that either
Mr.. Paine or his machine is at fault.
II they do not exceed the average. 1t
follows that the art Of aviation is
inherently dangerous at present. and
that until less of uncertainty is
secured. the ambitious members of our
Aero Club should either abstain from
flights or procure casually and life
insurance. The general belief Is that
aviation - not yet. IL ever. to be
classed among the exact sciences. but
that eventually 1t will at least be as
safe as the reckless driving of an
automobile. It may be that to avoid
Observation-Disclosures. aviators should

knowledge of the vagaries of gasoline
engines. and of the quickest and best
methods Of meeting such vagaries,
would be required. It might also be
advisable that an aviator should be
expert IS to wind currents as affected
by buildings. forests hills. etc. and
that he should possess some slight
knowledge Of weather indications. The
field OF examination. If sufficiently
complete to assure even a rnodicum
of safety. would necessarily be wide.
and we are inclined to doubt whether
the Aero Club has even one member
qualified to pass a. proper examina-
ton. In fact. II any of them should
attempt flight, 1t might be possible
to apply to them the anti-suicide stat
ute.

The magazines won their case. The

creasing their postage from one to
four cents pound. was struck out in
the Senate. It was. at best. an awk-
ward provision In that the increased
postage was to be based upon the
advertising sections Of the magazines
and could only have been enforced at
considerable labor and expense. But
more effective than all o,her argu-
