ZONE FARES FOR STREET CARS, No. 9

There we're three compelling reasons why Public Service Railway
made the application for increased rates which led to the Utility Boards
order for the submission OF zone plan The three were:
Higher Wages, Higher Taxes, Higher Cost of Materials.
For non of these was Public Service responsible. Nor could it avoid
meeting them.
Yet certain people crhcise the company for trying to increase its
revenue And much of the criticism comes from municipal officials, men
who are charged with the duty of preparing tax budgets and spending pub
lie monies
How have these men met the changes in economic conditions as APP
piled to municipal affairs during the last few years. What have they done
in the way of raising rates, meaning tax ratesq
Recently the Newark Board of Trade issued a Bulletin to its mem
bers Among other information, it contained a compilation of the tax
rates of the Essex County municipalities for 1908, 1918 and 1919, respectively.
Any me of an inquring urn Of mind could readily determine that the
average for 1908 vas $152. For 1918 it was 1929. For 1919 it ws $261.
AS the average of the rates increased more than Is per cent, son of
the individual gains were, of course, much greater.
Newark, for instance, went from $163 in 1908 to $34O in 1919-an in
crease of 1OS per cent. Nor was the increase gradual A large proportion of
it was chargeabe TO the last two OF three years.. Here are a few OF the

What made the higher tax rates necessarily Why did Newark have to
jump its rate from $245, the last prewar year to $34o this year, How sit
that if Newark could get along with $10OOOO00 direct taxes in 1916 before
the war, it had to have 100000, Or fifty per cent. more, in 1915, after the
war? f-

year.
If local taxing officials had to appear before a tribunal to ask for, OF
justify, higher tax rates, what reasonsw would they give for the increa@s?
Would changed conditions, with higher payroIs and increased cost Of
supplies figure in their answers?
Is there any other answer?

l have taken quite an interest in the
different letters in The State Journal rela-
tive to the H. C. of L. and L decided
TO give my views with the rest. thinking
1t might help to correct the matter.
First let me say, that 1t is a matter of
education and also another thing is the
idea of having the best no matter what
it costs.
/ We will first speak of the matter of
education. In the first place when the
thing we would buy was going up in
price as a natural consequence of the war,
and when n person kicked on the price of
being patriotic for we all knew 1T was
going to cost something to lick the kaiser
pay Without srSmSlinS s in the east That
started off. Now it is time we turn
about and bring down the prices.
Now here is what has been keeping up
the prices. About year ago the shoe
manufacturers came out with the report
that the next spring shoes would be higher
by four or five dOllarsNper pair. That was
done for the purpose of educating the
people to expect to pay the price and
they walked right up and paid it.
Then last spring the same fellows came
out with another report that shoes were
going up again this fall which they did
aRd the same thing worked again. People
would just grab at the chance to buy for
they expect more raises In the future for
that is what they advertise. The same
thing Is true of mems and ladies' suits or
almost anything We buy. 1t is all mart
ter of getting you educated to it.
Then the second point issthe fact that so
are in the habit of buying the best article
and never think of prices. l know from
experience because L am selling goods
every day and very few of them ask
about price for any other reason than to
find out which is the better article. You
take i'll the case of shoes 1 will venture
the assertion that the majority of shoes
that sell for SIS do not cost the manufac-
turer to exceed $1.00 over and above a pair
that would sell for so. The dealers know
that they can get bigger margin on the
best article so they put the price up. This
applies both to the wholesaler, retailer and
manufacturer for that matter.
Now you have the reasons for the H.
c. of L. Now let US get busy to correct

that shoe manufacturer had announced
that shoes would be cheaper in the spring

When the coal miners laid down
their tools last week and quit work,
they lost the support of one of the
strongest friends of the labor men in
Topeka. Ike Gilberg, tailor. is for the
government and the public in the
crisis. His condemnation of the strik-
ers is perhaps The most bitter denun-
citation of working class that ever
came from the lips of the well known
Topekan.
For years Gilberg has labored long
and tirelessly in the cause of the
working class. His daily life has been

and especially for the man of the
often underpaid day labor class-Gil

Now Gilberg has turned his face
from the sun. His views of the strike
situation might be the views of the
Pennsylvania or West Virginia coal
baron if one didn't stop to look at the
name within the quotation marks.
1.-The coal strike is the most damna-
Die act that has been commltteu
against the government and the pub
lic," Ike Gilberg seriously told a friend
today. 1T is reasonable. There is
no reason, no justification for strike
at this time. There is nothing on which
the coal miners can hope to lay hopes
for success. They are merely trying
to freeze the innocent and helpless
people of this country into submission
and to bluff them into becoming con-
VertS for their cause
This strike was ordered without a
referendum vote of the workers them
selves. Thousands of them want to
keep on working. Their families need
their support and the nation needs the
coal. 1t is the worst mistake the mine
workers could make.
Urges Government Operation.
There is just one relief from the
present condition. 1t is the duty of
the government to take over the mines
and to operate them. They ought to
get behind the strikers with muskets
and make them dig coal And if they
don't show the right enthusiasm
about digging, they ought to send them
back home. Government operation-of
mines will be the only solution of the
trouble

have given away before the inroads of

How dreadfully absurd.
The mot car which pushed the
horse into the discard also honked
the death-knell of the sleigh ride. To-
day the most fiery stallion, to say
nothing of patient old, blind Dobbin,
would not be seriously considered in
comparison with even a tin Lizzie.
And while motoring must be confined
to fairly pleasant weather when the
roads are not impossible, no attempt,
apparently, is made to resurrect the
old sleigh.
So it is apparent that the timid

the victims of the only Staying done

A few years ago, during the winter
months when snow was on the ground,
the jingle of sleigh bells was as COM

fellows and their girls, wrapped in all
the clothes they could find went
sleigh riding or called at the home of
friends where the long winter even
