Indianapolis News
At its recent session, the Illinois
legislature passed an anti-tipping law
Already the statute has been attacked
in the Chicago courts by interests
that control the check room privileges
Of the Morrison and Sherman hotels.
The plaintiffs assert that they have
money invested in the check rooms
that the service is satisfactory 10 the
public and the hotels" and that the
law is unconstitutional in that it seeks
10 deprive them OF lnclI lo.,,...- ..-,.--
erty. Profits gained from the check
room privileges come from voluntary
donations"
The anti-tipping law, so-called,
prohibits the leasing or using Of any
space or portion of places Of public
accommodation or public resort for
the purpose of accepting or demand
ing or receiving gratuities or dOna-
tiOnS, commonly called tips. from the
public" This clause is aimed at the
checkrOom, porter and waiter privi-
leges. which often depend entirely on
tips and not infrequently are made a
source Of income TO the hotel, cafe.

The bill does not prohibit the giving

MIsHAwAKA,s GOOD LESSON.

Mishawaka has a merchant, only
one of it's many who regards the
newspapers as an evil-not neces-
sary evil.-belonging it seems TO the
John ". Talbot school Of philosophers
Talbot. you may be pleased to know.
contends that South Bend would be
1000 better off in population had the
newspapers been abolished % years
ago which also, perhaps. means that
there would have been more lawyers.
and that the abolition shouldn't have
included the owl magazine.
We started out. however, 10 discuss
this Mishawaka merchant. instead Of
Talbot; the merchant who. with the
cooperation of a dozen other mer-
chants PIT on dollar day" Saturday
without newspaper assistance.
They had hand bills printed and
scattered them broadcast over the
town and surrounding country.
They hired band TO make a noise
and do all possible to bring people to
the business district.
But the merchants, with the ex-
ception of this anti-newspaper leader
who declines to be interviewed, all as
cert that the thing was a fiat failure
with the exception of the noise. The
cost of the bills distributed and of the
band was more than the advertising
would have been and it didn't bring
the business. They didn't even have
their usual Saturday trade.
And the reason is obvious In this
day OF civilized reading handful adj
vertising carries no weight, while, on
the other hand. people read their
newspapers, advertising and all, as a
reliable source of information, based
on the fact that they have generally
found it so.
Newspaper advertising places your
advertisement where people are likely
10 see it, and at least give it the "Once
over" Handful advertising savors of
a cheapness, and is generally regarded
as more or less Of a nuisance by the
people upon whom il is inflicted. We
anticipate that Mishawaka has had its
/ lesson, and that the advice of this anti
newspaper seer will henceforth be fol-
| lowed with a less submissive regard.

LESS INCONfE-MORE PROFIT.

New Haven railroad officials. like
most others, used to resent and scott
at the suggestion that they might cut
earnings by running their affairs more
efficiently They were particularly Of
Tended that they should be held up as
horrible examples of profligacy and
wastefulness by efficiency experts who
had had no experience as practical
railroad men"
Well. the New Haven railroad. of
scandalous memory, which has been
operating with a new method and
spirit under Pres't Howard Elliott. has
just made the following illuminating
report:
For the eleven months ending May
80. 1915. the railroad did less bust
ness than for the same period the year
beforehand made more money. The
operating revenues were only $59,O51, =
276. as compared with $61.6O7.244 in
the same period previously. but the
operating expenses for the latter pc
riod were only S4S.20O.255 as COM
pared with S4S,2S4.272 for the former
The upshot of the matter is that in
spite OF the heavy decline in gross
earnings. the railroad turned q previ-
Gus deficit Of $1.297.9O3 into a net
profit of S1,557,254.
And just TO show how things are
running now, with business improving
the net corporate income for May
this year was S3SG,O5O agoinst deficit
of $1S9.094 in May. 1914.
It's efficient MANAGEMENT that does
H. It's merely the application 10 the
transportation business Of the good
old doctrine that "a penny saved is a
penny earned" It's evidence that the
real gold mines of the future are likely
10 be found in the realm Of industry.
and that the mining process consists
simply in turning out a given product
whether it's transportation OF tin
cans-with a smaller expenditure OF
time. labor and horsepower.
