Jitneys Take Town.

A most extraordinary situation has
arisen in Providence because Of the re-
markable development Of the jitney
service, which was opened with a
single automobile on Feb. s. The jit-
ney service now includes more than
500 cars operated along the trolley
routes of the Rhode Island company,
one Of the subsidiary properties of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford.
The trolley service as consequence,
may be discontinued
So well patronized are the jitneys
that the street cars run practically
empty, a condition which prompted
the trustees. recently appointed b.
the federal court, to manage the
street car company, to file formal
protest with the city council in which
they declare that the unfair competition.
If continued, means that they can not
continue to operate the trolley lines, as
nothing can be earned on the capital
stock and no dividends can be paid
during the fiscal year
The company is operating under an
exclusive franchise in return for which
it recently built 100000 tunnel and
assumed obligations to pay the city
$230,000 annually, to pay $4,000 annu-
ally on account of new highways now
being built, to cost s3,OOo,0OO to re-
build its tracks, TO replace old cars
with modern ones, and in addition TO
the 100000 franchise tax paid to the
state to contribute $1O8,O00 to Provi-
dence as taxes on real and tangible
property
Besides these obligations there
are rent and fixed charges which
last year reduced the earnings to
less than s34s,000 and no dividends
were paid upon the $22, 900, 900 worth
of heavily watereT yecurities unloaded
upon the New Haven. -
It was estimated that the earn
ings this year would be only $4,000,
but from present indications there will
be none at ALL as the jitneys are doing
a business equal to 100000 a year,
with every prospect that they will ex-
coed these figures.
The trolley trustees are calling for
a jitney regulation, which will give
them fair show. They assert that the
jitneys must be brought under regula-
tions that will give the company a
chance and that the franchise must be
amended to relieve 1t Of the greater
part Of it's burden, otherwise the ser
vice must be discontinued.
Public sentiment, based upon long
endured grievances which failed to
be recognized, is with the scent jit-
ney service, which is backed by an or
ganization of automobile owners. The
city, by the way, combats the conten-
ton that the trolley franchise excludes
the jitney.-Providence. r. l., dispatch

EVIDENCE THAT IOWA SENATOR

SPITE.
IOWA FARES POORLY

Object Of RsprisaIs AItho circum-
stances; ;.s,e - :a ,Ss;;;;.s Tia. Ia. My. ~.

Washing ton, April 6.-1n the allot-
ment Sof the s3o,O0O.ooo Of river and
farbor; funds for the new fiscal year,
announced today, the board Of en-
gineers in the war department has
dealt very grudgingly with Iowa. For
the entire stretch Of the Mississippi
river, between the mouth of the Mis-
souri, and Minneapolis the fund is only
1000, 900: for the Missouri river from
Kansas City to Sioux City is $4,000;
for the Missouri river from Sioux City
to Fort Benton. in Montana, it is
$4,000. This latter fund has only a
slight direct effect upon Improvements
within, the state Of iowa, although its
indirect effect win be considerable.
There is no Indication, as yet, that
the pork -barrel' element in congress-
whom Senator Kenyon Of Iowa has
fought so successfully, have tried to
punish Iowa on his account. 1t is
known. Sof course, that the "pork-
barrer' senator's and representatives
are frequent visitors at the war de-
partment and that they offer great
many suggestions as to the need for
this or that Improvement. But that
they have secured an allotment which
pinches Iowa, and leaves Iowa farms
inadequately protected from the en-
croachments Of the Missouri river, in
any way unless by a process of elimi-
nation, is not contended.
Of course, the engineers have to
listen to the democratic majority in
congress. And the heads Of the demo-
cratic organization in the house and
SENATE are largely interested in secur-
ing big appropriations for river and
1larbor work in their home states. By
the time these gentlemen have finished
pleading for their pet schemes the
army engineers find that the entire
fund is wanted for few states. The
engineers cut down the estimates, but
they do not overlook the fact that GER
tain states are represented in congress
by democrats. Iowa has no democratic
senator and only one democratic repre-
sentative in the next house. More
over, Iowa will have the leader Of the
fight against the whole pork barrel sys-
tenn in the senate next winter.
