this insolent ownership Of the
city's streets. It will do much
toward eliminating chaos in the
downtown section and thereby
make possible safer and faster
transportation.
Almost everyone with whom I
come in contact agrees that the
elimination Of the traffic-block-
ing street car and motor bus is
necessary if traffic and trans
portation problems are ever to
be solved. It is also agreed that
in order to eliminate them some
thing must be found to take
their place. The ideal solution
is, Of course, subways.
However, that solution has
been advocated for years and
nothing has been done about it.

benefits. At the present time
we have between four and five
thousand Of light. fast, flexible
taxicabs. These taxicabs are
being operated at a loss. The
owners are going bankrupt. The
drivers are working for nothing.
My suggestion is that these
taxicabs establish 10 cent jitney
lines to and from all sections OF
the city. The owners and drivers
I predict will make plenty OF
money and the public will get
real transportation service. Or
course the transit monopoly and
its faithful allies will yell mur'

Dear Miss Robinson:
Don't you think there should
be law to provide for the fami-
lies of incarcerated men? I don't
mean support them, but at least
see that they are given work.
ut might seem to imply extra
expense at first, but in the long
run it would greatly reduce the
cost of crime-and the blot
which is left on a civilized ma.
tion by our present disregard
for the suffer ring Of helpless
women and children.
'"At present, families not only
suffer for loss Of their provider,
but the wives and children are
refused employment because
they are related to q CON- I

"She was left penniless, with

turned away from every home
she knew because her husband
was a convict.
Finally, she found a job. It
wasn't much, but it gave her
and the kids food and shelter.
But while doing this, the chill

became familiar with the ways

after this they ended up in a

War veteran and I fought for
those guys on the hill. What
are they doing for my wife and
children?
7 am at present living in an
attic, and my four kids are half
starved, because they won't fix
a decent cab rate for the District
so that I can take care Of them.
When I got my bonus I
bought a cab. Things went
along for a while then began
to slip.
The loan sharks gave me $45
for $100. I refunded and re-
funded until I could not pay
the note and they took my cab.
Then I decided to rent a cab.
I paid $3.50 per day and bought
gas and many days I had only
one dollar for working 1S hours.
For the last week my family
has been in dire need so have
decided to go on relief.
Hundreds of men driving cabs
are in the same position.
Stop the cruising in front Of
hotels. Put meters on cabs. Stop
the rental-system cab loan
sharks. Limit cabs. That Is
the solution. So far as I am
concerned, the taxpayers can
keep me on relief. H. c. K.
