by councils law committee. will drive
the iitney out of business.
AS it now stands, the ordinance.
which will be reported to councils next
Thursday for passage. fixes nickel

will make operation profitless.
For distances that jitney drivers now
charge from 10 to % cents. nickel Will
be the limit If the ordinance Ia passed.
1t Is figured by titney men that the cost
of gasolene. general wear and tear and
their time would be more than the
amount of fares they could collect In
the given zones.
Particular attention was given by the
committee to fare regulation on Broad

complaint of the Rapid Transit Conn
pany. f. T. Stotesbury and T. E. Nit

Thursday to urge a curb on the titney
traffic. They said the company Is losing
81, 900 a day because the fits are taking

the Thirteenth and Fifteenth streets
lines.
other amendments to the ordinance
fix license fee of 81 for each 1itney
OPERATOR a $50 annual license fee for
each iitney and bond of $500 for each

Similar fees and bonds have been fixed
in that part of the ordinance relating

ACCIDENTS IN INDUSTRY

Fatal railroad accidents usually
cause great excitement and are fol-
lowed by recriminations of "soul-
less" corporations. Injuries to in
dustrial and factory workers are
widely advertised and they have
been extensively tabulated. All
this has given too general impress
sion that managers prefer to permit
accidents rather than adopt precau-
tions to protect life. In some con-
spicuous instances this has been
true. Notable among these was the
mismanaged New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad.
But no one has yet paid much at
tention to farm accidents. It comes
as a surprise therefore when the
Bureau Of Labor Statistics an
nounces that agricultural pursuits
are quite as costly in human lives
as the most dangerous industrial
occupation, railroading. According
to figures just issued, each of these
fields is charged with 4,200 fatali-
ties a year. Coal mining is far be-
hind farming in fatalities, with only
$500; and there is another gap un-
til building and construction work
is reached with 1900 fatal accidents.
Most corporations are able to, and
do, install safety devices that few
individuals can afford. The farmer
will not be blamed for negligence
because Of the high mortality rate
Neither should the corporation al
ways be charged with carelessness
for accidents in work that naturally
entails danger.
The whole moral is that employer
and employe alike are too careless
of life. 1t is strange phenomenon
that individuals will risk their live:
much more readily than they will
risk their property. The number Of
fatal accidents in work now aver
ages $4,000 at a conservative esti
mate. The injuries involve the dis
ability yearly, for more than foul
weeks, of about 100000 persons.
Europe, in times Of peace, ha'
nothing to equal such carelessnes'
of life and limb. Persons who thinl
peace means safety might go ovel
these statistics carefully, and lear1
that there are some things just a
dreadful, if not as spectacular, a.
war.

THE IMMIGRANT CHILDREN

One lesson the war already has
taught America is the need for
greater efforts toward the actual
assimilation of the immigrants that
come to our shores. Many plans
have been suggested for their more
thorough Americanization.
One scheme, just worked out by
the United States Bureau of Educa-
tion in conjunction with the Immi-
grafton Bureau of the Department
Of Labor, is so simple that the only
wonder is that it was not put into
effect long before this. That is the
arrangement by which immigration
officials are to report to school Of
ficials Of all cities for which immi-
grant children are headed, their
names, so that they may be com.
PEELED to attend school.
Especially in Connecticut, Massa-
chusetts, New York, and New Jer-
-sey, have many Of these children es-
capped school, and been sidetracked
as workers in factories so that they
have grown up, in many cases, with
out even a knowledge Of the Ian
guage Of their adopted land.
This simple expedient Of the i'm.
migration officials will help school
authorities to enforce compulsory
education laws and will make il
harder to evade school attendance
by misstatements of age.
IN New Jersey, particularly, the
sending of such lists practically viii
insure school attendance, because
there the school appropriation de-
pends upon the number of children
taught. The school officials ar,
most Jealous in rounding up ever,

attendance,

AMERICAS AT-HOME YEAR

The railroads report that they
have been doing recently a huge
passenger traffic, in many places
and sections unprecedented at this
season. The explanation is obvious.
This is Americas stay-at home
year, and people are doing their
travelling on American boats and
rails instead of transatlantic liners
and Europe's railroads. They are
looking at their own mountains and
discovering that they are as big and
usable as Switzerland's; they are
visiting their own seashore instead
of England's or Belgium's; motor
ing through their own beautiful
landscapes instead of those Of the
Old World, and renewing the real
ization that this country is as beau.
tiful as any, and that in recent
years it has acquired vast mileage
of roads which compare with any
in Europe.
Americas at-home year is going
to be a lesson in patriotism and ap.
probation; good thing for the
country in more ways than the
merely economic one. It will save 9
hundred million or maybe twice as
much in tourist expenses that com.
monty go abroad, and it will give
incentive to more at-homing in the
wears of the future.

THINK OF 800, 900 SHELLS!

In this country there is still a
faction which insists that national
preparedness for defense against an
attacking enemy is an incentive TO
war. 1t declares that if we were
attacked when unprepared million
men, at the call of the President,
would instantly spring into the field
to supply our needed defense on
land.
All the while that this drivel is
talked we see millions Of Russians,
after springing into the iield, butch
cred, for lack of ammunition, as if
in a vast slaughter house. We see
the British army in France --,after
nearly a year of night and day ef-
forts at preparation restrained by
lack of ammunition from taking the
offensive against the enemy az the
very time, with IA great part of his
troops engaged in bLtchering the
Russians far away, he ought to be
attacked in force.
AS to the quantities of ammuni'
tion that modern war consumes
even in limited operations, a trie1
dispatch from ;he French front
gives an idea. 1t speaks, almost
casually, Of assisting the advance Of
a comparatively small body Of mer
with a hail of 100000 shells! Thinl

gree after the enemy who is pre-
pared strikes.

ALSO IN THE LINE OF DUTY

Henry Beach Needham is the sec

the front to forfeit his life. The
other, James Creelman, who died Of
disease, perished also in the line of
duty. The deaths of these two, to-
gether with Ebert Hubbard and
Patrick L. Jones on the Lusitania,
serve to emphasize the work which
newspaper men are doing in re-
cording for the readers of today and
the historians of tomorrow the
story of the European war.
While the governments at war
would prefer that they themselves
report officially what is taking place
in the war zone, the real story day
by day is due to the enterprise of
American newspapers and the in

Car People Want Jitney
Made Common Carrier

HARRISBURG. June 19.-Counsel FOR
the Pennsylvania Street Railway Asso-

commission to issue an order declaring
that titneys must obtain certificates or
public convenience from the commits
sion, post tariffs and schedules as other
common carriers are required to do, ana
furnish $500 bond for damages In case
of accident. a.,
Commissioner Ainey said that II jit-
ney people consider themselves common
carriers they ought TO nle ana post
their tariffs without further orders.
Commissioner Psnnypacker said no
thinks there is a demand for titney
service.
Counsel for the street railways con-
tended that iitneys were soliciting street
railway business. and asserted that
sometimes, due to overcrowding, girls
had to sit on laps OF men. The con-
tention was also made that Jitneys
should not be permitted to paraHel troi-
ley routes set forth in charters.

WAY TO NATIONAL SAFETY

Charles J. Bonaparte has come
very near to the true solution of get
ting this country into a satisfactory
condition of military preparedness.
His proposition is that the public
cannot determine the size of the
army or navy; that it cannot decide
what is needed; that its business is
to say what it expects of each, and
that after it has said it it is the
business of the experts and strate-
gists to determine how large, how
apportioned, and how equipped the
service must be to meet require
ments.
Mr.. Bonaparte sums up his own
idea of these requirements as fol.
lows:
l. The navy should be in position
to dispute command of the seas with
any any power ;si. save save ENGLAND England on equa
vent immediate invasion.
e The army should be large enough
to permit the concentration quickly Al
any coastal point Of force Of so pc,
cent greater than the force which any
other power could dispatch here at ono,
for purposes of invasion.
He leaves it to the strategists t.
decide whether Germany, for in
stance, could send an expedition Of
100000 or 100000 men across tn,
Atlantic. The difficulties of trans
port service, of provisioning, and o;
maintaining communications, which
would determine the size of the in
vading army, are for the experts t.
estimate. What we need is tn,
means to prevent invasion by what
ever may be the numerically practi
cable force.
All may not agree with Mr.. Bona
parte over the desiderata, though t,
most they will seem modest enough
by any standard of defense. But h
hits the nail squarely on the heat
when ne intimates that what the ma
tion is blindly, ignorantly gropini
for is an assurance Of safety, an
