| Since the Tayler. settlement became
effective, the company has paid taxes
on its full valuation-there is no in
! ducement for ,tax-dodging, as the
company is secured its profits. A
liberal excise tax to the state govern
ment and corporation tax to the
federal government are also paid,
while the company bears the cost of
city supervision of it's management
and operation (about $4,000 per an
num), and shares Of 5 per cent of the
burden of maintaining the state pub
lie utilities commission.
Company Generous EMPLOYER.
The company is generous en-
ployer. The rate of wages for mo-
tormen and conductors is 80 cents an
hour CT cents for the first year, and
the average for the system. about 20
cents an hour, is considerably high
or than the average rate in the United
States, whether for unionized system
or not. The liberality OF compensa.
ton to operating employees is char
acteristic also Of the compensation
to all other employees, both salaried
and wage-earning.
In conclusion, what is the secret of
Cieveland's pronounced success with
Scent fare? The answer lies at the
surface. and is the same as may be
given for the success Of any other
sound and enterprising business.
Reasons for Success.
First, the reduction from 5 cent to
3 cent fare IFS resulted in a 20 per
cent stimulation in: the number Of
street car riders. While it is possible
to ride Is miles for cents, the in
crease in the aggregate number of
rides and in Extraordinarily traffic has
been so tremendous as to compensate
for Improbable business and to ma
terially cut down the losses due to
fare reduction.
Secondly, and this accounts for the
rest of the explanation, the water in
thes Cleveland traction valuation has
been squeezed out to greater de-
gree probably than In the case of any
other public utility in America.
[ venture the assertion that if the
water in the book value of every
street railway property was squeezed
out as 1t has been in Cleveland, even
though a generous allowance be made
for franchise value, good will and
overhead charges, every American
citizen could ride on city cars for
cents, and enjoy good service, and
every American city could realize to
proportionately greater or less de-
gree the handsome saving Cleveland
is realizing this year in street car
fares, namely, the sum of 100000,

EVENING CHIT
Why Grow Old?
BIT Rura CAMERON.

There are not many Doctor john
sons to set forth on a first romantic
voyage at 64.-Stevenson.
A reader friend hunted me out in
my lair the other day and gave me a
delightful half hour. l found great
pleasure in meeting her and hearing
her intelligent comments on men and
events, but even greater pleasure in
listening to the following account of
herself:
She is something over 20, an age at
which, not so many years ago, women
used to put on caps and retire to
chimney corners, and at which, even
today, it is not ordinary for them to
go more than a few hours journey
from home unaccompanied.
But this woman does not see why
years and helplessnesS should be con-
nected unless there is actual physical
feebleness, and SO every spring and
fall she puts her house in order and
then sallies happily forth alone on a
pilgrimage to the homes of those
friends who must be merely letter
friends to her for the rest of the year.
Whenever possible she includes a lit
tie sightseeing and other diversions.
After two or three weeks of this she
returns to her quiet country home,
with a mind full of new thoughts and
ideas, and a heart full of new associa-
tions and memories, tired, perhaps, in
body, but infinitely rested in soul.
Is it any wonder that she is ~ years
young?
When she left my home I walked a
little distance with her, and 1 was sur
prfsed at her brisk step.
IT'S because 1 never began walking
slowly" she answered my comments.
''I never let myself get the idea that
l had to-"
That last sentence evidently contains
the secret of this woman's youth. She
has never let herself get the idea that
she had to walk slowly, and never go
away from home, and be afraid of
automobiles, and wear old-lady clothes
an altogether different person; and SO
none of these thing ever happened to
her.
Sometimes I wonder how much of
the change that comes to people in the
late sixties and seventies is caused by
physical weakness, and how much is
the result of their acceptance of the
traditional point of view.
OF course have never been old my
self, and so I don't know, but when
ever 1 meet someone like this reader
friend of mine who, though old in
years, refuses to grow old in her ways
of life, refuses to think of old age, 1
always wonder if a great many more
people could not keep as active and
point of view. And 1 am happy to be-
1ieve that there are more and more
such old folks every year. In Steven
sons day there were few Doctor
Johnsons to set forth on their first
romantic voyage at Ca but in this
day and generation I, myself, know at
least half a dozen who have set sail
for the lands across the seas when
they were over seventy.
1 think it is a splendid sign of the
times and 1 hope it may be amply full
filled during the twentieth century.
