CHICAGO. April s.-wiuiam Hale
Thompson. who has directed Chi
cago's hght for a fve-cent carfare,
outlined his campaign TO drive pri-
vately owned traction systems from
the streets Of Chicago.
The mayor consented to give his
views in an exclusive interview with
the United Press-the first interview
he has granted IN several years
Only when IL was pointed out that
many other cities faced traction
problems similar 10 that in Chicago.

declared
The only solution OF the street
railway problem in Chicago IS the
ownership Of the railways BY the
people and their operation by trus-
tees elected by the people for that
purose," continued the mayor
The United states supreme court
had pointed out that experience de-
mCnstrates that the aim Of private
ownership is 10 get the largest
amount Of pay for the smallest
amount of service; while the proper
aim of public ownership is to give

the largest amount OF service for the
smallest amount OF pay.
There is no doubt that public
ownership IS more desirable than
private ownership. especially IN 8
city like Chicago. where good local
transportation at a low cost is so
vital TO the comfort and conven-
fence of our people who work for a
living"
Agreed to Scent Fare.
Going into the history Of the Chi
cago fight for lower fares. the mayor
said;
In 1907 the street railway COM
panies made contracts with the city
OF Chicago. and through a referen-
dunn. directly with the people. BY
these contracts the companies agreed
70 furnish first class service for five
cent fares until Feb. /. 1927.
The companies have never furn-
ished first class service. Their serv-
ice has been aboninable. Their con-
tracts. during the first y years, were
very profitable. They made net profits
OF more than 500. 100000.
When on account OF the war
some lean years threatened, the
companies obtained from the public
utilities commission an increase in
rates from 3 TO cents, which put
an additional burden on the car
riders Of $4,000 a day or S21. 900
600 a year The courts have held
that the Public Utilities commission
represented the state and that the
contracts OF the city could be abro-
gated by the commission.
Later the Illinois Commerce
commission, appointed by Gov.
Small. which had fully as much
authority as the Public Utilities com
mission. ordered the five cent fare
restored. A United States court en-
