as follows: The city, to its shame,
gives no thought to the comfort OF

these men with a scat or a place In
which to warm themselves. The men
arc not treated with common honesty
or dccency by the city, but are being
steadily and Illegally brutalized. In
return for such treatment the men
are expected to go out upon the
streets for twelve or fourteen hours

PUBLIC CABS INCREASE BY THE
THOUSANDS.

The theory that was worked out in
the Public Hack Ordinance was TO
the effect that every cabman should
have opportunity to ply his trade and
have a free-for-all use Of the city
streets.
The forecast OF this newspaper in
securing this law was that the lower
rate would create more general use
OF the public vehicle, and instead OF
1000 cabs on the streets, as at that
time, there would he many thou
sands.
How true this prediction has turned
out Is evidenced by the fact that
there are now 1880 cabs operating in
the city Of New York, instead Of the
1000 when the ordinance went into
effect in 1913.
That the business has proved prof
table is self-evident Else why have
no many licenses been requested?
AS to rates. the least that can be
said is that they are high enough. n
not too high, as compared with other
cities and besides these rates have
been upheld by the courts. every ef-
fort to upset them having failed
But there is much to be said about
the condition OF the public vehicles
in New York to-day. The ordinance
secured by this newspaper provides
excellent regulations. providing FOR
clean. wholesome cabs properly in.
spected and to be kept in Al condi.
ton.
What is the situation? Tho statute
is not enforced properly. The hacI,
business has grown to great proper
tiOns, as The Evening World always
maintained It would, but the lax en-
forcement OF the law has brought
about public hack conditions away
below those prevailing in any city in
The United States.
As has been said by one Of the most
prominent men interested i'm taxica bs
IT never in all my experience have
seen as hard looking outfit as the
New York cab service presents to-
DAY The cabs which | rode in were
filthy and the drivers arrogant and

higher rate under tho conditions ex-
listing to-day Is beyond my compre-
hension."

= Growth of Business.
By Sophie Irene Loeb.

The Welfare Committee Of the
Board OF Aldermen late last evening
considered two ordinances, introduced
by Alderman Cassidy. These ordi-
nances IL passed will amend the Pub
lie Hack Law.
Ono Of these measures win prohibit
the driving OF a public vehicle by any
person under twenty-one years OF
age. The other amendment, which
was reported out of committee. will
change the licensing period as Of
April instead Of Feb. 1, as the pres
ent method gives no opportunity for
the examinations Of those seeking
licenses.
These amendments are among sew
eral to be considered by the Board OF
Aldermen in an effort to create a bet
ter taxi service in New York.
In connection with this the Greater
New York Taxi League has issued a
circular which in the main asks for
higher rates of fare, and asks The
Evening World for an opinion.
The New York Evening World. in a
vigorous campaign which covered
period OF over two years, succeeded
in 1913 in securing the first taxicao
ordinace in the United States that
provided regulations and fixed rea-
'onable rates, which statute has been
Upheld through the courts.
This newspaper also secured in the
State Legislature a law which Uinad
out private privileges at hack stands
privileges that provided a graft OF
over half a million dollars annually
and which brought about exorbitant
rates in New York City. which the
public had to pay

MEN WHO FAIL IN BUSINESS

Eighty-four per cent of the busi- ness failures of the past year occur red among firms which did not adver- tise.
 This is the assertion made by Brad streets Commercial Agency which is as unbiased an authority as can be found in the business world.
 Bradstreet's compiled it's infornna- tion from statistics, not guesswork.
 The importance of advertising as a business element must have been re- garded as vital by this great commer- cial agency, else it would not have wasted the time of hundreds of train ed men throughout the nation collect ing and tabulating this information. Bradstreets thus points the way to one of the clements of business sue cess.
