WHERE FRANCHISES STILL HOLD

In taking his place as a member of the Public Service Commission
In New York City, Lewis Nixon, in a statement made upon entering
upon his new duties, declared that he believed that there could be no
change in the fares or transfers in the city unless there was a change
IN the franchises under which the traction concerns operate.
1t is apparent by this that they still recognize franchises in New
York. In New Jersey franchises granted by municipalities to public
service corporations have long since become scraps of paper. That IS,
they are treated as scraps of paper as far as the utility corporations
are concerned, but, for some unexplained reason, they are held to De
binding as far as the municipality is concerned.
Mr.. Nixon says that in New York fares cannot be changed without
a change in the franchise In New Jersey practically every munich
dSsSShty mas a g1aranteea-fsre-of not more than five cents, yet without
the franchise being altered in the least, and in spite of the protest Oh
the municipalities the fares are arbitrarily raised to seven cents.
Why is it that franchises are held so sacred in New York ana are
Seated with so much Indifference in New Jerseyf s' @"
These are things the average layman cannot understand.

DEMOCRACY---ITS TRUE MEANING

Democracy has a finer meaning than that of government and
which all of u can take unto ourselves a individuals and for better
government.
Democracy is the efficiency of the individual.
Democracy is individual order and system.
Democracy is cooperation, and which is just another term for the
brotherhood of man.
Democracy is economy to the result of dear lei and women and
cheap goods.
Society, or what we call all the people, is made up of individuals
A democratic government is simply individual efficiency, order,
system, cooperation, justice, economy on a i large scale.
The quality of the community or society we have, both in the mat
ter of its physical and governmental state, depends upon us, every one
of us, as individuals.
The quality of individual grains make up the quality of the mass
of wheat in the bin.
Any form of government is a means or instrument of selfexpres-
sion and the results of government can be no other than we who use
the instrument.
An efficient, orderly, economical government is the will, the ex-
preston of the efficient, orderly individuals who comprise the unit of
goyernment-city, state o + nation.
Man creates as he thinks-nOt only as individuals but a $ a mass
as a community
Public opinion is the mass of individual thought or opinion.
The kind of government we have is very much up to every one OF
Us, our efforts al we think, or our neglect as we fail to think at ALL
A democratic government is of first Importance in the fact that it
permits of the free development of the individual to a higher state of
efficiency.
The people of kingdoms created the king by their submission to
They banished him when a sufficient number of individuals saw
that he could not be trusted.
We of this country created our democratic form of government;
for WI as a people, as a mass of individuals, saw that we could trust
ourselves alon IN the matter O goVernment-that q people Fave n
right to make their own mistakes and the mistakes are more often the
process by which they establish truer government.
And there are higher hopes for a higher democracy when we con-
slider that this is the first generation in America that any attempt
has been made at the universal education of the population.
Yes, democracy is up to everyone of u.s.
1t is in every one of us doing well the task immediately before
him with the service and rights and justice to others fully in mind.
With this spirit of honesty and efficiency in our social and bust
ness life it viii soon reflect itself in our political life and to the greater
freedom and profit Of all.
Reforms like charity begin at home-within ourselves, by each Of
Us doing our individual part for the good q he whoA
