Deplores New Fare Rate.

During the debate on this subject
Senator Thomas of Colorado said:
THE papers announced day or two
ago that the fares upon the traction
lines CT Washington were to be in
creased 40 per cent after the LIST of
November-that is to say. from TO !.
cents. The LIST of November is getting
to be the most attractive day in the
calendar. All the coal mines are go
ing to stop and city fares are going
to be raised 40 per cent. What else
will happen 1 suppose will be an
nounced in due season.
THE man riding to his business and
back home, paying two fares per day.
will have his general expense in
creased Sl4.60 every year. One of the
companies is prosperous, paying divi-
dends, understand. and has ask ed for
no increase. but it gets it just the
same. The other seems to be a bank
rupt concern. water-logged with over
issues of stock and bonds. trying to
keep out of the hands of the receiver.
and has appealed to the commission
for help, and the. commission has
finally concluded to give it, but at the
expense of the consuming public.
1T is an outrage. and it is one of
these outrages that are spread as thin
as possible. and then spread over the
whole community. The man who pays
cents additional pays but little at
tention to it at the time. but every day
means an aggregate increase of rev.
enue to these companies of thousands
upon thousands of dollars. That is
but one of the little things that are
placed upon the broad backs of the
consuming public. due to the increas-
ing demands from these classes pro-
tected by our statutes from any of
the consequences to which others are
exposed
On point OF order a committee
amendment providing for the collec-
ton of premiums on life insurance
issued by the war risk insurance bu-
reau by the postal service was lost.
Almost all the rest of the committee
amendments were adopted practically
without change. The Senate added
about s2S.00O,000, to the bill as passed
by the House.
