the diversion of business to the jitney. On this point the committee says:

the diversion of business to the jitney. On this point the committee says:
 Fundamentally the economics of the situation present the only reason for the present agitation and efforts at regulation; efforts which are va ried as to method and purpose, and represent a probing in the dark be- caause the underlying purpose and caause for the regulation has been largely overlooked or ignored by, or buried in the political or special in terests at stake. Anything which has to do with, and may so largely affect the present methods of urban trans portation upon which has been built up the, modern city with it's widely distributed population and resulting capitalized property values, is too ser icus a matter to be looked at from narrow, biased or individualistic standpoint"
 AS to the zone system of fares the committee says:
 'fIf the 'jitney' service survives the experimental stage and finds, as it may, that after being put by laws and ordinances into it's proper relation to the community, passengers can be carried from a mile to two miles for five cents,, this short haul competi- ton will constitute the necessity for and furnish a valid argument for much more serious consid deration ot the zone system of fares on the part of the electric railways and regulatory bodies than has been given it in the past. It is obvious that to the extent that the street railways are deprived of the traffic that costs less than five cents per passenger to handle they can not continue to carry passengers for five cents where the cost is more than five cents.''
 The committee circular concludes with the following extract from an address of the general manager of the Portland Railway, Light and Power Go. before the Oregon Civis League:
 'tIf a street car company came into Portland and undertook to lay tracks aand begin operation, it would have been stopped the first day and been told to secure franchise. What possible objection can be urged to re- quiring auto buses and tjitney' cars to take like procedure? Why should they be permitted to operate with no responsibility to the public, and no approximation of regularity or sta bility of service?
 Fully 26,OOO people have volun- tarily expressed themselves in definite form to the city council asking that the auto bus and tjitney' car be -e- quired to operate under franchise. You may be certain that the trolley car system will have to be relied upon for many years yet to come for urban transportation and since it does not take a very considerable impairment of revenue to cripple the trolley sys- tenn, it seems that the best interests of the people require an early ad- justment of this important question. -

The various Italian clubs and their Red Cross society have made e1abor- ate preparations for a picnic to be held on Labor DayAat Stadler's park 6Mg the purpose of swelling the funds For the Red Cross ambulance for the Italian army. Through the efforts of Mrs. Jonathan Godfrey and the mem bers of the committee who instigat- ed the work some $1,20O have al- ready been raised through various private contributions and social af- fairs.

JITNEY REFERENDUM
 HELD IN OAKLAND

The city council of Oakland, Cal, established a license of $60 per an mum paya ble quarterly in advance The jitney- operators have made re- peated attempts to have the license reduced without effect. Then they appealed to the people in a general election held early in May. The fight was between jitney operators and the Traction Company, and the latter won out by a majority of over Il, 900 in total vote of a trif1e over 35,000 The traction company submitted 146 affi- davits to the city council specifying 4,995 violations of the city ordinance in a single week. Among the proposi- tions of the company that were sue cessful were that auth orizfng the chief of police to revoke the license of any person violating any of the pro- visions of the ordinance; making it unlawful to carry two or more persons in excess of the seating capacity of the car as named in the license; no one allowed to ride on the running board or sit upon the fender, dash or doors; excepting hrenen, who are allowed to rise as best they can when on duty; ''children in arms are not to be con- sidered passengers; requiring a bond of $5,000 to cover injury to passen- gers and $10,0 ,000 for death, the policy aalso to recover any judgment rem dered against the owner, also requir- ing an additional or duplicate policy to be filed with the chief of police thus keeping the liability unimpaired.

: Another scheme to beat the high
cost of living has been advanced.
Professor Fisher of Yale advocates
the standardization of the dollar as
a remedy. He believes in varying
the weight of the dollar in such a
way as to keep the value fixed in
stead of fixing the weight and let
ting the value vary. A few dozen
different sized dollars of varying val
ues would be liable to complicate
matters more than ever, however,
and it would be interesting to know
how silver certificates could be stan
dardized under those circumstances.
So long as the law of supply and de-
mand is not repealed, it is not prob
able that the purchasing power OF
the dollar can be fixed.
