Legislation for Relief of the
Street Car Situation
By BILL PRICE .


Whether through the bill of Congressman WOODS, Of
Virginia, compromise along the same lines, is vitality
Imperative that of the nequies in the street CON-
catons of District shall be removed at this session Of
congress- that further of fares to the public
may be avoided.
If this situation had existed in any State munich
ay Of the United States except Washington, the voters
would have forced legislative remedy long ago, but as
congress insists being the town council OF Washington,
md attends to every other sort OF business before
ing any attention to the serious problems existing here
nothing has been done.
Mr.. Woods bill will not solve car problems the
RIGHT WAY by any but it will be as much as can
possibly be expected the short session of Congress- and
would have two IMMEDIATE beneficial results, leaving
other matters to be settled later:
Stop any increase in car fares.
POSSIBLY make for a merger OF the two competing
corporations and the saving of money through operating
economies
If it constitutional for Congress to tax profits
has the power to equaze street railway conditions hero
by evying similar tax net earnings after fair re-
turn is paid on valuation of properties
Mr.. Woods estimates that the Capital Traction Com
pany is making 81 100 600 in of return of
per fair valuton of $l5,OOOOOO. He would take
so per cent of that in the way of taxes.
The w. R. and E. has deficit of $4O8,789, which would
be decreased should its present gross earnings be
materially cut Reduction of that deficit would remove
the necessity for increase of fares.
That the Capital Traction Company is getting over
81 100000 than it is entitled to yearly out OF the
people of Washington does not sound well to the public
which strongly feels that Congress should give prompt
thought to the Washington public.

an attack upon prohibition the brutal dark age doc
trne of the survival Of the es He that those who
cannot resist the temptation to indulge in liquor ex
unfit and that liquor is good thing with which
to kill them off,
He ought assemble the children and the wives and
the mothers of Of the otherwise splendid men,
splendid fathers and husbands and sons who could
sist the temptation to liquor in And when he
has them assembled he ought to tell them what he tells
general public through the newspaper In such he
would find and most uncomfortable application
to himself of the law of the survival of the fittest
Probably nothing has out of the mouth of a sane
occupying responsible position extraordinary
the attack which this doctor has made upon social
fare reforms having for their object the saving by the
ounce of prevention the total destruction of those whom
misfortune has marked out the victims of imperfect
civilization If he is correctly reported he would abolish
social welfare laws because they too interfere with the
plicaton of the law of the survival of the fittest
Probably million young men in the next year will
not know the taste of liquor under prohibition who would
have known if the saloons had been kept open out
of those millions thousands would have been constituted
that they would have become drunkards.
