LO! THE POOR nickel

T,INLESS the city council takes diff
- ferent cue and reverses English on
its decision of yesterday, the last refuge
of the poor, war-battered and profiteer-
haunted nickel will be gone.
The one place where five-cent piece
could stand on it's own legs, and turn up
it's nose at offers of assistance from an
extra penny or two, was on street car
platform.
But alas and alack! 1t won't be long
thus
If our city dads have their way, car
fare will take its place alongside stogies,
ice cream cones, soda pop, and host of
other Scent affairs.
For, despite the efforts Of Mayor Fitz-
gerald and Supt Murphine, the council
voted yesterday to slap the cost of paving
between tracks upon the municipal rail-
way. And they didn't provide any new
revenue to take care of this additional
expense
Plainly, the city railway department is
up against it-unless higher fares are
established
At least it ought to be perfectly plain
that the poor nickel has had quite load
to bear this year, with extra cost of labor,
$4,000 month more, and higher costs
for materials and for everything else.
Our city dads ought to know that even an
extra straw is likely to break camel's
back, and the cost of paving is darn
sight more than mere straw on poor
nickePs neck.
In fact, one of the learned councilmen
is so we'll aware Of the situation that he
ups and says the city railway is even now
"in the hole"
If that is so, why kick it deeper into
the hole?
The starvation cure isn't going to re-
store health and vigor to railway line.
The city council, if memory serves us
right, was quite willing to relieve the
Puget Sound Traction company of the
costs Of paving, providing that company
would keep fares down to five cents.
Why deny the same privilege to the mu-
nicipal railway?
