the advertisements were used to bet
ter service. They are not. They
are used to subsidize the papers
which carry the ads and push legisla-
ton which the car company wants to
put across.
The ads themselves are trying to
bend public opinion in favor of the
5O-year franchise that Wall street
bankers want to grab from the city.
But worse than that, think they
also are used to turn the editorial
columns into tools for the capitalists
behind the car companies.
eff a newspaper is getting thou
sands of dollars a month from the
car company for advertising it is
more likely to treat the firm better
than it might otherwise, especially
if the owners are eastern capitalists
and they are trying to put over
something in a franchise way that

CHICAGO SURFACE LINES?
Who is paying for the big adver-
tisements the Chicago Surface Lines
are running in the trust press? Are
the people paying 55 per cent of the
advertising rates charged for this
space? Does the street car company
advertise to control the news col
Umns of the papers?
These are the three questions that
will be answered if a resolution offer
ed yesterday by Aid. John Kennedy
is passed by the council. It will come
up for action before the finance COM
mittee Friday.
Kennedy thinks the people are pay
ing more than half the money which
the street car company hands the
loop press for big display ads used to
force legislation that the company
wants.
IF the money paid for advertising
by street car companies is taken out
of the operating fund it means that
the people Of the city are paying
more than half the bill, because this
comes out of the 55 per cent Of the
net profits that is supposed to go to
the traction fund of the city" declaT-
