RER0UT|NG PLANS
FOR STREET CARS
GIVEN APPROVAL
Temporary Changes on Six
Lines Go Into Effect
July II.
G STREET DEAD END"
TO BE ELIMINATED
Mt. Pleasant Cars to Go Down G
Street Instead of F-Columbia
Line Heightened.

Temporary rerouting of six street
car lines, effective from July II until
a permanent system Of rerouting can
be worked out, was approved late
yesterday by the Public Utilities Com
mission.
The changes are the result of the
new trackage and connections being
made now on Fourteenth street be-
tween New York avenue and H street,
at Fifteenth street and New York
avenue and elimination Of the dead
end" at Fifteenth and G streets.
Richmond B. Keech. acting chair
man of the commission, said permts-
sion would be given the Capital Tran
sit Co. to make the changes so long
as probable permanent changes are
followed as closely as possible.
The lines affected are the Four
tenth street, Mount Pleasant, North
Capitol and Brookland, Friendship
Heights, Columbia Fifteenth and H
streets northeasU and the Rosslyn line.
The only change on the Mount
Pleasant line will affect the east
bound cars that run to Thirteenth and
D streets northeast. At present these
cars turn from Seventeenth into H
street, down Fourteenth to F and east
on F. The new route will take them
directly down Seventeenth street to
Pennsylvania avenue, east to Fifteenth
street, where there will be a Jog into
G street, and they will proceed east
on G street instead of F as at present.
The Fourteenth street line that now
goes to Potomac Park, making the loop
there, will be rerouted directly down
Fourteenth street to Water street,
which will be the terminal.
The Brookland line which now runs
to the Fourteenth and Water streets
terminal instead will proceed from
New York avenue into Pennsylvania
avenue to the Potomac Park loop.
The Columbia line, which heretofore
has ended its run at Fifteenth and G
streets, will be divided into two Sec
JlutlS dt t4IdI POliIt, dOOhS AAoAA SAAS
cars continuing west on Pennsylvania
avenue, G street, Wisconsin avenue
and on to Cabin John. The other
half will go west to Washington
Circle and turn back on the new loop
there.
The Friendship Heights line. which
ends its downtown run at Sixth and C
streets, will continue to Seventeenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue south
east.
The Rosslyn line, which in the past
has gone to Seventeenth and Pennsyl
vania avenue southeast, will turn back
at Sixth and C streets.
In explanation of this change, Com
missioner Keech declared that the
company's l6 new cars, which it is
proposed to use as one-man vehicles,
will be tried out on the Friendship
Heights line, since under the new
temporary routing the cars will have
excellent running opportunities on
both outlying portions Of the line.
Just how long the new routing will
be in effect was not determined by
the Public Utilities Commission and
probably will be permitted to continue
until all Of the new track oonstruc-
ton can be completed and the perma-
nent system Of routing can be worked
out and approved.

have begun several projects which we
hope will result in improved service. :"
Merrill, under questioning, con-
tended the one-man car in the main
is safer than the two-man car. This
was disputed by several persons
present. William w. Keeler, speaking
for the Central Labor Union, de-
nounced the proposed extension OF
the one-man car as an adoption OF
the "stretch-out system" under which
zone man is forced to do the work
of two" The Central Union, he said,
is strongly against it.
Jones. trial counsel for the company,
described the financial plight of the
company but was interrupted by Rob-
erts before he concluded his statement.
This Is not Public Utilities Com
mission hearing" Roberts insisted,
''but a meeting called for my infor-
nation"
Oppose One-Man Cars.
Representatives Of more than score
of citizen associations were heard, with
the preponderance Of opinion opposing
one-man cars, the purchase Of used
cars from Providence, r. l., and an
increase in fares.
The first half hour of the meeting
was broadcast, addresses being made
by Roberts, Harry s. Wender, spokes-
man for the Southwest Citizens Asso-
ciation, and Harry L. Bushong, who
was introduced as "a citizen" A part
of Clayton's address also was broad
cast.
Because of Clayton's delay In arriv-
ing, George A. Warren, chairman OF
the Legislative Committee Of the
American Federation Of Citizens As
sociations, presided for o short time.
Thomas z. Lodge, president Of the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
also scheduled for an address, was ab-
sent and sent his regrets.

Not all the 1876 DEGREES were divorces,

The Irrigation Tax

Muddle, muddle, muddle! Tax,
tax, tax! But, oh boy, you amt
seen nothing yet" just wait till
the district gets into the power
business little deeper. ALREADY
SO SOON," we feel it.
$400,000-an average of one dollar
an acre from every farm owner
to provide power for 1000 users,
WHO ARE NOT FARMERS, with
power of which they had an abun-
dance right at hand. Would it not
be wonderful windfall to our tax
ridden farmers if the BRAWLEY
DEVIL" PLANT could be recon-
verted into cash? WHY NOT TRY?
Electricity is HOT STUFF" and
should be handled only by those
who understand it. Our farmers
are going to get the SHOCK" of
their lives. But the poor fools will
come back for more. They always
have. WHY?
The Irrigation Districts debt is
S70,000,000, all incurred since Janu-
airy, 1916-IN TWENTY YEARS!
TWENTY YEARS! The best val
ley on earth has been ruined by
substituting POLITICS for common
sense business methods. Again l
say that Irrigation Districts are the
most hellish institutions ever Great
ed. They have busted every farmer
within their confines. Name one
that hasn't?
Why not turn the districts mud
dies over to the Eastside grammar
schools football team for a fort
night and let the little colored boys
kick them into some kind of shape?
HOT DOWN HERE? Hotter than
the fires of hell according to the
districts twenty year record And
it is going to get hotter if there is
any heat left to be added.

Commodity Dollar
Forecast by Thomas

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. UP
A bitter fight in the early days of
the 18th congress to restrict the
powers of the federal reserve sys-
tenn and establish commodity
dollar" was forecast by Senator
Elmer Thomas, D., Okla, silver
haired leader of currency expan-
sion forces on Capitol Hill.
Thomas conferred with Presi-
dent Roosevelt today but said the
money question was not discussed.
He asserted he called at the White
House to invite Mr.. Roosevelt to
visit Oklahoma on his next west
ern tour.
Everything is going along fine
under the money policy adopted
by President Roosevelt and his
administration Thomas told the
United Press. Industrial produc-
tion is up and going higher. Farm
prices are good. Unemployment is
decreasing"
His attention was called to
report of the bureau of agricul-
tural economics showing that farm
income in July was 40 per cent
greater than in July of 1885. The
total income from 33 leading farm
commodities for all states was
$658,577,000 as compared with SAL
$4,000 in July of last year.
Sure, he expected that" Thomas
exclaimed. THE farm income will
go even higher"
