0 YOU ever take taxi?"
"Can't afford It"
"Ever think bow pleasant ft mijrrit be to take your wife
io the theatre and bring her bona in a taxi especially rainy nights''"
"Of course. But it cost too much."
"Ever think how much time and how many steps yon might
save on a busy day by taking a taxi for an hour to meet your en
gagements ?'
"Naturally. But do you know what it ooets?"
"Brer lata for aa appointment on a hot day, all tired out, when

"Ever with you could show some friend fba little extra attention
of a taxi to or from the etation?"

"Erer felt a couple of hours in a taxi on a bright Sunday after
noon would rest you and cheer you up?"
"Good Lord, yes! But"
"Wait. If you could take your wife to the theatre in a taxi
at the rate of $.30 for two nrilos, going and coming, would you do it
now and than f'
"OertainlyP
"If you or she could do a round of calh or shopping in a taxicab
at $.60 an hour would you do it now and then?"
"Sure!"
"If $.25 would get you to your appointment twenty blocks away
on a hot afternoon in a comfortable taxi, would you take one now
and then?"
"Always r
"If you could take your friend and We luggage to and from the
railway station at the rata of $.20 for the firat mile, $.11 for each
additional mile and $.05 per parcel of luggage, would you do it
now and then?"
"Every time!"
"If $1.00 would buy you a two-hours' ramble in a taxi on a Sun
day afternoon, would you do it now and then?"
"Believe me!"
"When you know that millions of people in other cities arc do
ing those very things at thoae Tory prices, and doing them in good,
city-regulated taxis only leaf freely than they ride In subway and
surface can, doesn't H strike you at shameful that Now York should
have only a handful of battered, badly built, carslsasly-d riven public
can ma by companies whose sole purpose it to mater money out of
the people's pockets into their own? whan a body of level-beaded
man like the Fifth Avenue Conrndasion declare it preposterous to
say thai $1.00 a mile to a fair taxicab rate tn New Yon whan tho
rata for the same distance in London to sixteen canto, and the oper
ating expanses than an as much or men Chan here, don't you think
ifa about time for the people of Now York to aak why they an not
given this cheap convenience and comfort?"
"I sun do!"
"You are ready to take taxis, then 4o get the 'taxi habif the
moment you can ride in them for a reasonable fan, the fan the rest
of the civilised world pays?"
