ZONE FARES FOR STREET CARS, NO. 10

Last week we showed that the average State tax rate had increased
from $23s in 1918 to $2s5 this year.
IF these figures mean anything they mean that the cost Of. local gov.
eminent, the cost of municipal operation, is much higher today than it was
a year ago. ~,~s@rN~@
And to raise the funds necessary to pay the larger operating expenses
the municipal officials simply figured how much additional money they had
to have and fixed the tax rates high enough to produce it.
We are lot going to discuss the merits of local tax rates here. We have
just been through a war which turned economic conditions upside down and
the effects of which will be felt for some time to come.
Possibly n class of business vas hit harder by the war than public
utilities. They couldn't stop; they had to go or. Their income vas restricted,
their outgo vas not. They could not figure how much additional money they
lad to have and themselves fix a tax rate to produce it, They had to take
heavy losses while their rates were and are being regulated.
The conditions were such that even the National Government could
not put the greatest of the public utilities, the steam railroads, N a paying
basis The Director General has recently asked Congress fr. the staggering
u m of $1,200 100000 to help meet expenses. And this sum- if granted, will
have tx be raised by taxation of some sort
The SAN conditions which made local. State and Federal taxes higher
and which prevented the railroads, under government CONTROL from earning
expenses, made it necessary for Public Service Railway to ask for more
revenue.
And this companys appeal for relief led the Utility Board to issue its
order for the submission of N equitable zone plan. 't
This order the company has complied with. 1t has produced what it
believes to be the best zon plan that could be devised to meet the conditions
o. its property.
Professor Albert S. Richey, me of the Utility Boards expert advisers,
in teaifying at n of the hearings as a witness for the board, said of the
companys zon plan:
ST want to say that generally I very greatly admire the report
I hin it is the first long step in the right direction that has been
proposed in this country. I firmly believe that W. must go to some
method of charging for street railway service on the basis of the SER
vice rendered"
Professor Richey did not mresrvedly accept the report tin all its de-
tails but he did say at me point in his testimony:
.I think the scheme that is proposed is nearer perfect than any,
If the companys plan is not actually perfect it provides for charging
fares that are just reasonable equitable and based IN the correct principle
that every rider should pay only for what he gets.

WAR SECRETARY
SAYS SHORTAGE
Of LABOR FELT

ALBANY, n. Y, May 23.-As-
sistant Secretary of War Arthur
Wood, who is in this city on official
business, predicts that there will
be big shortage of labor through
out the United States before the
end of the approaching summer.
The shortage is already being felt
keenly, he announces, there being
work at present for great many
more men than are available. He
attributes the shortage to the lacl'
of immigration and to the absorp-
ton Of surplus labor by the ship
building industries of the country.
This has been more than sufficient
to absorb the men leaving the army,
he says, and within a very short
time there will be greatly in
creased demand for workers in
farming communities.
