Fixing the Five-Cent Fare

The baseless pre- election conten-
ton that the sole purpose of the law
creating the Transit Commission
was 10 permit the advance Of sub
way and elevated fares in New
York City has been definitely dis
posed Of by Governor Miller.
In discussing the matter at AL
bany Wednesday the Governor
said:
II would think that the law would
prevent the commission from ar
btrarily increasing fares. But fur
ther study may suggest the desir
ability Of further amendment. II it
does 1t certainly will have my ap-
prevail"
AS a matter Of fact it was the
purpose of the Governor and the
legislators who voted for the trac-
tion law to bring about a condition
which would make a fve-cent fare
permanently possible. This can
be done only by unifying the transit
systems and bringing order out Of
the present traction chaos.
To-day the people of New York
are paying seven cents for their sub
way rides-two cents Of which they
pay directly or indirectly in taxes.
Under the present system there is
danger that it would soon become
necessary to put at least seven cents
into the featherweight gates and to
continue to pay an added two cents
perhaps more-in the form Of tax
alton.
Only centered control, with the
economies it can effect, will pre-
vent this advance. Under the plan
submitted by the Transit Commits
sion the present fare is secured and
there is an excellent chance of elm
mating the taking of two cents more
per ride from tax money.
Governor Miller makes it clear
that he is not in favor Of an ad-
vance and that he is willing to advo-
cate the amendment of the law if,
as Mr.. De Ford suggests. the law
makes an advance Of fare n1anda-
tory.
Here are post-election facts set
over against prediction misrepre-
sentations. From the beginning the
talk Of raising fares has come from
the supporters Of Mr.. Hylan, who
were hard pressed for some sort of
campaign slogan. The commission
began, as soon as it had organized,
TO plan a comprehensive system by
which fares could be kept at least
as low as they are to-day Now that
the act which created it has been
approved by the Court of Appeals,
it will be able to complete this plan
and to put it into execution. The
result will be not increased fares,
but fares fixed as low as or lower
than they are to-day.
The futility Of further legal oppo-
sition by Mr.. Hylan and his news
paper advisers becomes more clearly
apparent now that the Governor has
spoken. They were absurd enough
when they tilted at windmills. They
appear still more absurd when thcy
tilt at windmills which are not there,

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

Mortify, therefore, your members
which are upon the earth; fornica-
tion. uncleanness, inordinate affec-
ton, evil eoncupiseence. and covet-
business, which is idolatry: for which
things sake the wrath of God
cometh on the children Of dis
ob<dience.--Colossians 3:5-6.
Be more economical in the use of
your mother tongue. Apply your
terms of praise with precision; use
epithets with some degree of judg-
ment and fitness. Do not waste your
best and highes, words upon inferior
objects, and find. when you have met
with something which is really super
latively great and good, the terms by
which you would distinguish it have
all been thrown away rnon inferior
things Timothy Titcomb.
