Possibility of a Scent
Car Fare in District
By BILL RI G. Il.


Statesmen who naugurae legislation for the District
of Columbia in the House not well be accused OF
having visions Yet Of them, in considering long
pending legislation for solution of the street car prob
lens of Washington, hold out vague promises that
arge financial interests" preparing to enter this
field merge all the conflicting interests, and give us
5-CENT CAR FARE.
Action has once more been delayed pending develop
ments by the alleged which is to confer upon
the car-riding public such wonderful blessings
The first and most apparent thing is that Congress
can not compel merger of street railway and other
interests and could not force existing companies to turn
their properties to company. 1t could
merely authorize such transaction, which might pos
sibly be completed, things look, within the
next eight ten years The hundreds of stockholders
of the two companies operating in this field are the
ones who must sanction merger or agree to dispose
of their holdings to company. And the bond
holders would have something to say in any deal In
volving the values of their investments.
Those Congressman who fighting for municipal
ownership of Washngton's street lines there
FORE farseeng when they declare that the latest talk
is plain legislative procrastinaton
Greater New York only recently solved her trans
portaton complications by enforced consolidation of
all street raways-surface underground and overhead
into one great system, to be owned by THE PEOPLE,
who are the city of New York.
Moreover the outcome of the consolidation is guar
anteed 5-CENT FARE and FREE TRANSFERS. Here
we have an Scent cash fare and pay for transfers
between the competing lines.
If this can be done in New York. the center of vested
interests in the United States and newspapers notor
ously representative of property rights prasng it in
highest terms, why can't municipal ownership be pro-
vided in the District of Columbian
City ownership here has long stood out the
simplest and easiest solution of tangle which Con
gress has been dallyng with for years The heads of
the local street railways admit that Congress has full
power take transit properties here at fair value
and do with them it fit. AS to practically all
the other propositions before Congress the heads of the
roads smile because they know they will either amount
to nothing in compelling relief for the public will be
so full of legal flaws to invite overturning in the
courts
The old bogey of Government ownership is frighten
ing lots of Congressman who realize that the salts
factory solution here is municipal ownership. In many
instances too, there's wholesome fear that big inter
ests" back home would condemn men who voted for
street railways be owned by the people of Washing
ton
Every encouragement should be given Congressional
advocates of city ownership of local lines to go ahead
in their fight. They have all the logic and
sense of the situation with them Their numbers
have increased rapidly in the last year and will
tnue to increase.
