IS IT GOOD BUSINESS

Seattle Is planning ON taking over
its street car system as a municipal
undertaking at an expense of some
$751; o 900. 1t will thereby lose its
annual tax revenue from the system
which amount to about $2sOyO00 =
year.
There Is no claim made and no one
is foolish enough to imagine there will
be any reduction in street car fares.
On the contrary, wherever the gov.
ernment or municipalities have taken
over traction systems tho fares have
been increased more than the private
companies were permitted to charge.
Witness as samples the heavy ad-
vance in rates on railroads, more
than private companies ever asked,
and an increase from a five to an eight
cent fare on the Boston Traction
system, under political management
When the politicians increase rates
its alright but whom a private COM
pany asks a necessary increase they
are accused of robbery.

and socialists had their way they

in comment on an article recently
published in the Ration Repurtcr cor-
Tn 10 say:
r. Topeka Pankey was known as
a staunch and sturdy fighter. true
TO his friends, and an ardent sup
porter ard adviser Of organized
labor
In fact the power Of the labor I'M
IONS in Topeka is largely due to the
advice and precept of this same
Pankey. When in Topeka Pankey
was president of the lndcpenden,
Telephone Co., a company which
gave considerable concern to the
great Southwestern Bell system and
which tor many years fought the
Bell company to a standstill. ,
Pankey came to Topeka in 1892 and
settled on a 10000 acre piece of
Kansas praX.e. He went into the
cattle raising business and made a
wonderful success of it.. About
twelve years ago, just subsequent to
the merging of the Independent
Telephone Co., with the Southwest
ern system, Pankey went to New
Mexico to raise cattle on what is
known as the San Cristoval grant
IN old Spanish concession.
Today Pankey is the lieutenant
governor of New Mexico; is known
far and wide in that state as honest
Ben" and from the tone OF the edi-
torial in the Ration Reporter, is one
of the best loved men in the state.

The lieutenant governor is known to
all to be one of the most far-sight-
ed business men in the state and Is
at the same time famous as . Dip
Iomat and pacifier of troubled poll
teal waters. While, presiding officer
of the recent session of the legis-
lature he made a strong impression
on all who anne in contact with
that body.
Governor Pankey is a resident Of
Santa Fee and one of his large ranches
is nearby. the headquarters being at
Lamy. For that reason he has been
jokingly called the mayor of Lamy.'
However, he is well acquainted with
all sections Of New Mexico and num-
bers his friends by men of all pro-
fessions and walks of life. He is a
rattleman by training and inclination
and knows that important branch OF
New Mexico industry from the
ground up. His occupation Of the
governors chair insures the cattle
men of having their very best friend
at the state capital.
Last, but not least. The beaminp
c~ountenance and genial disposition
of the lieutenant governor will be a
happy addition to the state house

as large and as favorable an &C

are as well equipped by experience

and with as large an endowment

insight.
Should the Republicans be so for

7-Cent Fare Voluntarily
League to Give Trolley Com

The New York and North Shore Trac-

AmtyviIlc which is on the South Shore
of Long Island, but the district it serves
in Queens ard Nassau counties con-
stitutes an "Amityville" believed to be
unique in the history of trolley COM

AS prof of the "Amityvillagers" of the
North Shore pointed yesterday to the
announcement that two of their mum
ber selected by them, had been elected
directors OF the traction company.
1t came about in this way The troll
icy company was losing money steadily
charging tive-cent fares and petitjoned
to have the charge raised to seven
cents. Permission was refused. Then
residents of Flushing and other com
munltles served by its lines decided
they couldn't afford to have the trolley
company go out of business and
formed the seven-cent fare league.
All members Of the league yoluntar
lily pay seven cents instead Of five
when riding on North Shore cars The
league grew with astonishing rapiditv.
Every day an increasing number Of
people handed seven cents instead of
hNt ScIi'o 70 conductors. Inc OrCaDI-
zation has been in existence several
weeks and has an advisory board
which is urging the seven-cent fare.
In recognition of the movement the
traction company announced that two
of the seven cent passengers would be
accepted as directors. The league sug-
gested Elmer {. Story of Flushing and
Charles S. Golden of Whtestone and
both have been duly elected to the di-
