OUT IN THE OPEN

The letter from Captain j. c. Pat
terson published in The Journal of
Friday morning, gives a resume of
many points frequently stressed. by
The Journal on its editorial columns,
and urges upon the Chamber of Com
merce the Importance of pressing the
city commissioners for some valid
reason for refusing he offer made to
the city by, Mr.. Mclaughlin, whereby
the dock Question would be settled
and port development could be pushed.
One remarkable aspect of this
question is the manner in which the
commissioners have acted in relation
to the municipal docks from the very
beginning, which has been high hand :.
ed in the extreme.
Seven years ago the people of this

"PsYcHoLoGIcA,v MONEY.

|. In the hearing before the railroad
commissioners of Florida, on the
application of J. G. Hohzclaw. re-
ceiver for the Pensacola Electric
Company, c. F. w. Weterrer, manager
of the southeast division for Stone &
Webster, testified that he believed a
ten cent fare to be necessary for Pen
sacola. l.. r. Nash. of Boston, a pub
lie utilities engineer, testified that to
put the company on it's feet, the rate
of fare would have to be- some thing in
excess of six cents. Mr.. Nash, it will
be noted. did not say that it would
have to be twice what it is now.
1t was claimed by Mr.. Wetterrer
that the excess fare would have to be
placed at ten cents, by reason of its
psychological effect on the people at
large, who would rather pay a single
piece of money than several pieces of
money.
Such an assumption by Mr.. Nash is
probably based on the fact that the
Stone & Webster company would
rather get a single piece Of money,
representing ten cents than a nickle
and two coppers, representing seven
cents. The additional psychological
money would be a very real increase in
the revenue of the Stone and Web
ster company, and a very real loss to
the people of Pensacola.
Why in the name of common sense
and fairness should the people of Pen
sacola pay ten cent fare instead OF
a seven cent fare. when a seven cent
fare will take care Of the holdings?
There are many who feel that a seven
cent fare would be hardship. But
fares are going up all over the coun-
try, and 1T is better to pay seven
cents and get decent service than to
pay five cents and risk life and limb
on such cars as are operated in Pensa-
cola today.
1t is ridiculous in the extreme 10 say
that there is no choice between five
cents and ten cents. because the peo-
pie would rather pay one piece of
money than to pay several pieces of
money. Do the people who pay luxury
taxes at the soda fountains and movie
pictures scornfully refuse the coppers
extended in change? By no means.
They save them to pay the next lux
ury tax.
Instead of the copper being an un-
popular piece of money in Florida, it is
coming into great popularity. The
peoples pockets have been picked here
for many years, because coppers were
not is use. It is so nowhere else. Why
should the copper be in disrepute here?
A five cent fare, to the person riding
twice a day amounzs to more than
thirty-six dollars year. A dime will
make the cost more than seventy dol
lars a year. A man with a family
might as we'll invest in high-priced
and be done with it.
A ten cent fare for Pensacola
should not be countenanced. If 1t is |
put into effect it will mean not only !
an injustice to the people of Pensa- |
cola, but probably will mean the ulti- |
mate loss of the street car service. For ..
the cars will not receive patronage |
which would justify such charge.
This is the opinion of many men and |
women, who feel that the doubling of |
the fare in Pensacola will inflict upon |
this community a burden which is I'M
justified and unfair.-Celia Myrover

And thereby hangs tale There is a certain broad valley in this land where till recently business poorer than church mouse, and the cost of living higher than folks liked to think about.

 "Then I'd build you barn." carpen- tier replied.

"Think of all the furnishings I might sell to fifty homes," sighed department store Electric light and power! That was the need. The Electric Company in that town; couldn't fur nsh half enough. It hadn't the money to extend it's service. Rates low. Investors wouldn't invest.
 So these business asked the public ice commission to grant the company higher 
 The commission raised the rate. That made the Electric Company safer investment and people began to buy it's bonds. With the added resources the company built bigger service.

Hard Boiled Eggs.

]. Lester Hyman, II farmer near Lo-
gansport. says that on Easter morning
he beard one of his Black Langshnn
hens cackle in the hennery of his
farm. He hurried TO the place. and
there on the floor lay nice brown
egg. 1t wi,s still warm. The man pro
ceeded TO the house to fry the egg for
breakfast
Giving it TO his wife, who was at
the stove frying other eggs, he asked
that this fresh one, he cooked for him.
On attempting to crack the egg to
place the contents in the skillet it was
found to be hard-boiled. Hyman's
hopes of having II hen that laid hard
boiled eggs We're shattered when his
wife remembered that she had iuss
placed egg shells taken from boiled
eggs in the hennery and that the hard.
boiled egg found had undoubtedly been
left among em.-Indinnapolis News.
