is because in cold print its emotional advantage

merit of its content.
The most pernicious delusion in this philosophy
of propaganda adopted by the Administration
is that it is rapidly setting standard where
it may become most difficult to sell any policies

Scent Fares
DEMANDED BY.
REP. SCHULTZ.
.SaysP PUG. Babies
Transit Company

Fivecent fares on street cars
and buses of the District were de-
manded today by Representative
William T. Schultz CD Of
Indiana, a member of the House
District Committee.
Mr.. Schultz announced that he
is preparing a bill for immediate
introduction which would make
the five-cent fare mandatory on
the Capital Transit Company.
ASSAILS p. U. c.
Coincidental with his move to
restore street car fares to the level
provided in the original franchises
of WaShington's railway COM
panies, Mr.. Schultz insisted that
the Public Utilities Commission
is badly in need Of reorganization.
The Capital Transit Company,
he said, is being ''petted, pampered
and babied" by the District. He
said the reason for this is the
super-salesmanship of officials of
the company who have been able
to sell the corporation to the
PUG and to District officials gen.
orally.
AS a result, he declared, the
company has been able to obtain
great favorS which have been evil
denced by such things as avoid
ance of the cost Of complete snow
removal and releasing the com.
pany Of the cost of crossing police
men.
He views the merger which re-
suited in formation Of the Capital
Transit Company as a mistake
and believes the time has come
to give greater protection to the
street car riding public through
strengthening Of the utilities COM
mission and through clamping
down on the favors extended the
company.
COST COMPARED
Mr.. Schultz compared the cost
Of operation of the surface lines
here with the subwayS in New
York and asserted that if passen-
gers could be carried for five cents
a trip on the Subways, they could
certainly be carried at that rate
here.
As to the reorganization of the
Public Utilities Commission, Mr..
Schultz believes that to be an es-
Sential to proper control of the
company. He was less optimistic
as to his ability to force such a
reorganization than he was as to
the possibility of the five-cent fare.
