RETAILER VS.. RETAILER

MR.. HOOVER is going after the re-
A'A taiers now, and we other retailers
hope he gets them. We protest that the
grocers and small coal dealers are en-
titled to no monopoly of the word 're-
taller" The man who sells so much
energy a week in business for a wage is
as much a retailer as the man who sells
his weekly energy from shop or office
OF his own, II is just as important to
keep the man who retails himself from
going to the wall as to save the man who
retails eggs. It's more important, for
we retailers.in.general outnumber the re-
tailers-in.particuar about twenty to one.
We have always wished we might be
a fly on the wall to listen to the heated
conversation between two of these par
ticular retailers, grocer and coal man,
the better of his customer? If he does,
the coal NAH may cry out, "Swindling
retailer" And then the grocer would
reply, Retailer yourself'' And then, per-
haps, they say, Let's he friends and
cheat all the other retailers"
More reductions and I'll have TO close
my shop" says the selling retailer.
Higher prices and 7 can't pay my
rent" says the buying retailer.
Well let's all remember that We are all
retailers. and then perhaps we can strike
a bargain.

THE TRANSIT BETRAYAL

The agreement which the Mayor has sub
mitted to the Rapid Transit Company as the
citys ofer is a ilagraut betrayal Of trust.
in that il is framed in violation Of spe-
enc pledges made to and underwritten bN
the people Of Philadelphia. Three
specific provisions were promised by Direc
tor Taylor, the newspapers and citizens pro-
noting the plan.
First fve-cent fare and universal trans
fers
Second, discard of the eight.cent exchange
ticket Immediately upon execution of the
contract
Third, that the system to be constructed
should comprise the lines named in the
Taylor plan--the city thereby decreeing
what lines should and should not be built.
All three of these stipulations the Smith
proposition ruthlessly casts aside.
II provides for a six-ce fare. to be con
tinued indefinitely, II continues the eight
cent exchange ticket for at least four
wears, perhaps in perpetuity, And the au-
thority TO determine which of the Taylor
lines shall be built and which rejected il
delivers to new board of control which,
in the last analysis will be dominated by
politics.-North American.

more than they ought to pay for govern
ment. II the Organization can get mil
lions more yearly from the people In the
form Of carfares. II boasts that II can
borrow additional millions, which 1t is
prepared to spend literally, provided the
people indorse its constitutional amend
ment throwing open the extra per cent
borrowing capacity to purposes other
than port and transit, while having avail
able also all the abnormal tax receipts
to come from increased valuations. Verify
there would be a rich treasury in which
to dip greedy fingers.
We say to the people of Philadelphia
that IL they accept this lease and agree
to pay higher fares, thereby increasing
the borrowing capacity many millions,
they will find themselves saddled sure
enough with an increased tax rate and
no hope of reduction.
There is but one thing to do with this
lease. and that Is to kill 1t as II 1t were
a rattlesnake. If adopted, when the day
comes that its onerous fare increases go
into effect there will be riot and civic
commotion and grievous disorder. 1t is
time. we believe, when the people
should be given square deal, and they
are going to insist on getting IT,

THE ENEMY OF UNIONISM

COME few years ago the idea still pre-.

their jobs. Now it is generally recognized
that a trade union is not intended to lose
Jobs but to keep them. And when EN-.
ployes combine to keep Jobs. it is to be
assumed that they deem themselves TO
have much in common with employers
in cooperating with them.

contract subject only to the condition that
the exchange ticket system shall be 'modi-
fed" before the 6 per cent dividend shall
be available.
II Is true that the liability of an increase
in the tax rate for the support of the new
municipal transit enterprise is avoided by
this plan, but the escape Is only by means
Of continuing the eight.cent exchange tcie.
and the almost certain imposition of
general siN-cent fare on the trolley riders
all over the city. And the personal prop
erty tax which was transferred by the
state to the city for the express purpose
of supporting these transit undertakings
during their period OF development, and the
increased tax revenue from real estate de-
Velopment due TO these investments, go into
the general fund of the city TO be dis
tributed by the contractor-bund in control Of
Councils.
The New York experts recommend the
abolition of the exchange tickets, and Di-
rector Twinng, himself, in his comment
on the 1916 proposal. phrased one count in
his indictment on its failure to provide
'unequivocally for that which the people
have been promised and led to expect
namely, fiat five.cent fare with universal
free transfers between any two points OF
the unified system within the city limits"
That fault is confirmed and exaggerated in
the present lease
In short, the financial scheme of the
pending agreement is based on continued
eight-cent exchange tickets for at least four
years, subject to modification thereafter
only as the Public Service Commission
may decree. and on higher general fares
and includes the promise of cumulative
per cent dividends on Rapid Transit stock

VIEWS OF THE PRESS
ON PROPOSED LEASE
Vigorous Denunciations of Its
Basic Principles Character
ize Comment
TODAY'S TRANSIT HEARING

After the long-range bombar rdment TO
which the draft of the transit lease has
been subjected during the last three weeks,
the subject is to be brought under close
range consideration today at the hearing ar
ranged by the joint Councils Committees
on Finance and Street Railways. The sub
ject matter of the lease is of such vast eim-
portance to the people of Philadelphia and
the consequences of any misstep at this
stage of transit development are so serious
that 1t is to be hoped that there will he
the largest possible attendance. and that the
arguments pro and con shall be followed
closely by the taxpayers of the city upon
whom will fan the initial burden of an
Improvement which will for many years
to come fail 10 be Self-suppOrting.
Enough has already been said to reveal
the bitterness and vigor of the opposition
to many of its features. as well as the
compeXity and subtlety Of the vital points
in controversy. And the analysis of the
lease made by Messrs Ford, Bacon &
Davis. the consulting engineers, who have
been closely identified with the high-speed
transit movement since its inception under
Mr.. Taylor. as well as under Mr.. Twining 5
administration of the Department of city
Transit, brings into instant relief the
changes which must be made before the
proposal can be brought within measur-
able distance of acceptance.
What is needed before all else, however,
is constructive criticism, Philadelphia will
never arrive at "A satisfactory settlement of
this problem If the debate is allowed to
deteriorate To partisanship and passion
There have been three separate proposals
Tor an operating agreement, two Of which
were rejected under circumstances which
gave color 10 the suspicion that treaChery
and chicanery had had n part at least in
determining the outcome That il why, in
the present debate, the public should de-
mand the fullest light on every phase of
the questions at issue, and should insist
that no binding decision shall he reached
