WEEKS. A HUERTIsTA

This was the solution he suggested the other day in speech n CeF land and apparently he was in the least apoogeue abopt n but it is probable that his hearers were de- cidediy skepucal
 Senator Weeks does not know. and man knows what would have happened f this country had stood by Huera and his government It may be that policy of blood and iron under the direction of Gen Huer'a

 long while ln recovering from the shame of such call lous opportunism.
 Everyone knows that Huerta established himself m Che Presidency by process Of coldbooded assossna ton and the suggestion that this country could have got rid of it's Mexican troubles by recognizing him is suggestion that might have profited indirectly by murder This line of thought would be branded by Sen ator Weeks and his kind as sentimental and they think themselves practical but their praccabnity consists simply in patching sore that win not heal The rule of Huerta would have been standing provocation to revolt and revolt would have unless the history of all Latin America points to false conclusion The Presidents policy rests upon the belief that there win always be Mexican problem until Mexico gets an hon. est government honestly selected and the days of that governmen. seems nearer now than 1t has in many years.

Suburban Service Does Not Pay
Even in Washington, D. c.


The FL Paso Electric Railway company Is not posing
as philanthropist When 1t consented to take the
operation of these suburban lines It's officers had faith
Ell Paso and believed then as they do now that with the
growth Of FL Paso, these outlying lines would bring IN suit
able upon the investment But the past they have
not paid and today they not bringing returns. With
the SIM gle exception of the Highland Park line not line
extended to any suburb IN FL Paso paying operating
penses yet you as Citizen have the privilege of riding upon
these lines for five cents fare and Of securing transfers any
other part of the city at additional After losing
money on the first hau-over the suburban lne-he com
pany again loses money by hauling you transfer
lines that paying properties before the suburban lines
built In other words, the company takes money from
It's cash drawer pay for your fare upon the transfer portion
of your ride.
Do you as property owner or citizen of FL Paso
appreciate this? Do you want the street car lines of E Po
to develop and grow? Do you want the system downtown
to improve? No business can improve without PATRONAGE
no business can maintain even the standard has reached
It's patronage begins to fall off Every five cents that you
spend with competing transfer service that offers you trans
potaon short haus but negects your suburbs takes that
much away from the street company that has been help
ing all El Paso grow.
The Ell Paso Electric Street Railway company could
abandon It's suburban lines today and make money by ope
ang It's downtown Ines 1t did years ago BEFORE there
were any suburban lines The opposition fair weather
transportation service operates only downtown on the short
haus and when emphed, the driver turns back to
town for The people the end of the line must wait
How long would you stand for such a service from the
street company? Yet what fair for one should be fair
for another.
What if the street company abandoned It's suburban
lines? Do you think the city could get somebody else to
operate them? Do you think even if the city forfeited the
franchise of such lines could get some other company to
take them and operate them? No. you.don think So
The rails would from lack of usage You know this

IN THE Congressional Record reaching FL Paso this
week. there appears the report OF committee OF con-
q gressmen recommending the relief from taxation of
independent street railway line operating to of the fast
growing suburbs of the national capital The congressional
committee says that inasmuch the line beng operated
at oss but Is great benefit to the suburb and the people
living therein not only In giving them transportation accom-
mOdaOns but in affecting the value Of property in the addi
on 1t Is recommended that the taxes of the concern be re
mited If this is not done, says the report the line will
go into bankruptcy.
Thus the appreciation of the national lawmakng body
Is shown for transportation system and its effect upon the
people and their property Thus also given proof that
independent line to suburb cannot be operated
paying proposon-that it loses money for the concern
operating and that years before any returns had
upon the invested capital.
In instances the returns never sufficient to pay
for the operation of such lines and the experience of cities
all over the country has been that such lines more often than
not 90 into the hands of receivers absorbed by another
system that give transfer connections In other words,
order to accommodate the patrons Of its paying lines,
street car system takes over and operates the non-payng
lines.
This gives better service to all the city and decidedly
better service to the people of the suburbs for they thus
enabled to get transfers to other parts of the city, whereas,
with independent line operating to suburb transfers
are out of the question.
The FL Paso Electric Railway has never forced the
construction of independent lines to the suburbs of E Paso
1t has always met the owners of such additions

paid bonus for the construction of such lines the bonus has
been sufficient to pay the company for their opeaton
However, the FL Paso Electric Railway company has con-
nuousy kept It's service up to the standard on all such lines
and its operation of them has enabled the residents of these
additions to secure transfers to any other part of the city
For the same five cents you have paid to ride into the
city from a suburb upon line that was costing the company
money daily operate you have been able to get transfer
and ride upon any of the company heavily paonized lines
Has It ever occurred to you that this increased upon
occurred to you that such increased traffic forced the COM
pany to put on additional cars and men to take care of
traffic that has not meant a cent of revenue to it.
