Secretary Bakers Visit.

Rock Island and the quad-cities are glad
to welcome Secretary Baker on his mission
to Rock Island arsenal. This is the third
visit of secretary of war, but it is the first
time that Official business has been the sole
purpose. Ex-President Taft was here on the
eve of his nomination and Mr.. Baker COM
bined politics with business on his previous
call.
The fact that the secretary Of war has
come direct from Washington to inspect the
arsenal shows the importance that the institu-
ton has attained in the eyes Of the war de-
partment. The quad-cities will join in the
hope that such changes as are contemplated
and which may grow out of Mr.. Bakers visit
will not tend to impair the position of the
arsenal as the leading manufacturing plant
maintained for military purposes.

People Of Rock Island, Moline and East
Moline are likely to have trouble resigning
themselves to further increase in street rail-
way fares. They have paid one advance with
in the year and had supposed the matter was
settled. To have the subject again brought up
now is trying to the patience. especially since
there is no better assurance than there was
before that this will be the end of the agita-
ton. The fact that the Tri-City Railway COM
pany this time proposes to make 1t either or
9 cents some way encourages the suspicion
that what IL really wants is 10 cents and it
"won't be happy" till it gets that figure.
When fares were made cents good many
people who had been in the habit Of riding be-
gan walking. This number will increase in d.
rect ratio to the increase in fares. To GER
tain extent fare increases defeat their purpose,
as many a traction company has discovered in
the last year or two. Double fares to meet
doubled expenses works out all right in theory.
but not in practice
The thing that nettles patrons on this side OF
the river is the fact that the lines here are
really doing fairly well. The companys loss
Is incurred on the Davenport side, where the
\city has demanded extensions that do not pay.
Rock Island. Moline and East Moline are asked
to make up the deficit and if the Illinois pub
lie utilities SO wills they will have to do it
or walk.
And that isn't all. After the increase is
given for the Illinois lines of the company
there is no assurance that one will be allowed
on, the other side of the river. In the previous
instance patrons on this side paid their Z
cents for several weeks. before the advance
went into effect in Iowa.
II any Davenport lines are not paying it
would seem to be up to Davenport patrons to
make up the deficit or relieve the company of
the obligation Of operating them. Certainly if
a fare increase is absolutely necessary those
who are getting service at less than cost should
be the first to meet it.
