executive agency Of the Federal Gov
ernment to consider the very perilous
financial condition of this and other
electric street railways Of the coun-
try, and raise fares IN each case in
which the circumstances require 1t.
We believe it to be a war necessity
JustlfyiHg Federal interference.
Should this be deemed unwise. how
ever, we urge upon the local authori-
ties and the people of the locality the
pressing need for such an increase
adequate to meet the added cost of
operation.
This is not a question turning on
the. history of the relations between
the local street railways and the mu-
inequalities in which they operate.
The just claim for an increase in
fares does not rest upon any right
to a dividend upon capital long in
vested in the enterprise. The increase
in fare must be given because Of the
immediate pressure for money re-
ceipts now to keep the street railways
running so that they may meet the
local and national demand for their
service. Over capitalization, corrupt
methods, exorbitant dividends in the
past are not relevant to the ques-
ton Of policy in the present exigency.
| In justice the public should pay an
adequate war compensation for a SER
vice which cannot be rendered except
for war prices. The credit of these
companies in floating bonds is gone.
Their ability to borrow on short
notes is most limited. In the face of
added expenses which this and other
awards of needed and fair compen-
sation to their employees will involve,
such credit will completely disappear.
bankruptcy, receiverships and de-
moralization, with failure Of service
must be the result. Hence our urgent
recommendation on this head.
In addition to the above we desire
| to point out to the riding public the
absolute necessity of continuing the
patronage of the past, if the company
is to continue to give any service up
on its lines. A public service corpora
ton must be supported by the pub
lie, and if that support is withdrawn
/ the company must of necessity either
cut down its service radically or else
cease its operations altogether.
