TROLLEY BOYCOTT
PLANNED IN CAMDEN
walking Clubs" and Jitney Bus
Revival Suggested as 7-cent
Fare Protest
COMMISSION UNDER FIRE

Organization Of walking clubs,'
boycotts against the trolleys, and re-
vivel of the jitney bus lines legislated
out of business, are remedies which
200. 900 street car riders in Camden and
vicinity will seek to put into effect
against the restoration of the seven
cent car fares.
Acting under decision of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission of New Jersey,
handed down Saturday, the Public
Service Railway Company restored the
seven cent fare on all of its lines i'm
mediately after midnight yesterday.
As soon as action of the utilities
commission became known, communities
all over southern New Jersey began to
take steps to find relief from what they
consider an excessive charge for trolley
transportation. The railway company
successfully contended that it could not
operate at a profit except with seven
cent far system.
Commission Under Fire
The fury of the car riders was not
limited to the company alone. but was
also directed against the Public Utility
Commission. AS retaliation for the COM
missions decision fnvoring the COM
pany a mass meeting was urged. De-
mand will be made upon the state Leg
islature to abolish the commission or
take from it the power to alter con-
pality and a corporation. Frank H.
Somner, of Newark. attorney for the
protesting municipalities. announced he
would ask for a review Of the decision.
Saturdays order, which also per-
mits the continuation of the one cent
charge for transfers, will continue in
effect until the utility commission ap-
proves or disapproves the application
for zone fare system.
The zone fare system. as proposed by
the Public Service Railway Company,
also has caused furious storm of pro-
test. This System" provides for an
initial fare of five cents for the first
mile of travel, with cent for each ad-
ditional mile.
1t has been shown that if the system
is introduced in it's present form it will
nearly double fares to and from various
communities in South Jersey.
CounciIman's Statement
at was obvious as early as the first
hearing that the utility commission was
pro public service. and that it was op-
posed to giving the peoples representa- =
tives a square DEAL said Council
man Frederick Won Media, comment
ing on the seven cent fare order. This
time. the commission overstepped its
bounds. The people showed they were
in no mood to be trihed with, and
think the commission is slated. !,
seemed that the c9mission, though ap-
pointed to protect the interests of the
people, was protecting the trolley com
pany's interests at the expense of the
public and getting paid for it by the
public ,ftoo. This isn't the first time
that the commission has been undel
fire for giving the people raw deal.
1.-The commission and the trolley
crowd mistake the feeling of the people
if they think they can get away will

Media. 1--WE are determined to tigh
this to finish and will take it to tn

Holds Tax Unconstitutional

PERSONALLY believe the new law
raising the tax is unconstitutional, be-
cause it imposes double tax for the
same purpose. However. the amount
involved is so inconsiderablc that no one
felt it was worth while to make con
test.
Besides having to pay the tax, each
doctor must give an exact inventory of
whatever narcotic drugs he may have
on hand in his Office. such as hypodermic
tablets and cocaine for use in minor
surgery. This inventory was returned
when the doctors paid their tax under
the old law. They had to make it all
over again when the new law went into
effect.
"Couplcd with this inconvenience was
the loss of time in personally making
the return and paying the tax. should
say that it meant an hours lost time
for every doctor to go and pay his tax. '

PHYSICIANS OBJECT
TO DUAL DRUG TAX
Have to Pay Twice for Right to

Public
DOUBLE ACCOUNTING ALSO

Philadelphia physicians are aroused
over the increase in the federal license
fee for prescribing narcotics.
The original charge of 81 year was
increased February % to So year,
after the doctors had paid their tax.
Besides complaining of the amount
charged for the privilege of administer
ing or prescribing narcotics, the medical
men say they have been subjected to
injustice, because they were forced to
pay the new fee in spite of the fact that
the one already paid was supposed to
hold good until next July.
There was no rebate made for the
tax already paid said DIR. J. Morton
Bcice, secretary of the Philadelphia
County Medical Society, today.
''1t is not the amount of the tax that
makes it Objectionable to physicians, Sc
much as the imposition of the tax at
this time, when the doctors already have
paid what they were asked to pay. The
amount itself does seem excessive. how
