REMOVE ABUSE
TRANSFER SLIP
IN FARE RATES
Representative Citizen Says If In
crease is Necessary, Charge
for Changing Cars.

Removal Of the abuse Of the
transfer privilege was advocated
today by representative citizen in
discussing the adjustment Of street
car fares.
eff the public utilities commission
should find an increased fare nee
essary for the Tri-City Railway
company to meet the additional ex-
pense made necessary by the new
wage scale of the trainmen, it
should fix a Scent fare with
charge of 1 cent for transfer.
"A passenger boards the car, gets
a transfer often not because he
needs it but because it is his priv
ilege to have it, and then when he
leaves the car passes it out to some
one who can use it on another line.
If a charge of cent was made for
transfers, there would be a check
on this practice"

New Law Grants Extension Of
Privilege Accorded to Aliens
Who Served During War.

Honorably discharged soldiers.
sailors or marines Of foreign birth
who neglected while in the service
70 become naturalized citizens, still
have the opportunity of making use
of this privilege.
According to notice received by
Circuit Clerk George W. Gamble,
naturalization papers will be issued
without charge of fees. The priv
i1ege has been extended for one
year and Mr.. Gamble is prepared
to receive such application.
An alien coming under the terms
of this law does not need a certifi-
cate Of arrival, nor a declaration
of intentions. He must first be
examined by a representative of the
naturalization service, after which
the petition may be heard in the
most convenient court without
formality of posting a notice for
80 days. The two witnesses to the
petition need only identify the sol
der as the person named in the
discharge certificate.
Are Not Citizens.
Many of the soldiers and sailors
filed petitions for citizenship in
England or France and took the
oath of allegiance before an army
officer designated for that purpose.
This has given some the impression
that they are citizens, but unless
such petitions are afterwards pre-
scented to the proper court, they
should file a new petition and it will
not be necessary to take further
action on the petition filed over
seas.
