WHY?
Because we feel
obliged to give Ta

SAYS FAWCETT
Mayor Fawcett today took spir
ited issue with statements made
by Mrs. W. H. Udall before tho
social service board yesterday aft
ernoon to the effect that boys of
tender age were being allowed to
carry grips for travelers at the
Municipal dock.
Mrs. I'dall declared the practice
was not right.
"When i Issue the iiermitß to
the boys,'' said Fawcett, I ask
I hem what they do with tbe
money. Invariably they say they
give it to their mothsrs, many of
whom are widows.
We could sell the grip-carry

but L.vould rather see the small

What Tacoma Labor

A committee of the Labor coun

DETROIT TO
TAKE OVER
STREETCARS
DETROIT, Mich., Oct. ». —It Is
nil over hut a final voting on
riicsiiiij. Nov. IS—then Detroit
will proceed Ut get. busy and buy
and then operate its present cor
poration-owned street railway
system.
Already Detroit has voted for
iiiunii ipul ownership—lliey have
been lighting for It -> years—
but Nov. -2 the rlti/ens must vote
on the plan by which the city can
buy tbe Detroit I mi,-it Railways
system.
By .lan. 1 the city expects tO|
have possession of the car lines,
for there is little doubt the peo
ple will vote "yes" on the plan to
purchase the system.
Judges of the circuit court will
fix the price the city must pay.
This is not expected to exceed
1^0.00U.000.
Detroit's street railway com
mission—composed of three men,
James ("ouzens, vice president of.
the Ford Motor Car Co.; John F.
Dodge of the Dodge Motor Carl
Co., and James Wilkie of the
Parke-Davis Chemical Co. —is
confident that under this plan the
entire property can be paid for
from earnings, and the only city
bonds tbat will ever need to be
issued will be a portion of tbe mil
lion dollars that falls due in
lUI6. I
Detroit wants reul street car
service—that is the vital Issue.!
Since 1900 the street railway
people, growing fat from their
profits, have refused to spend!
money for trackage thnt was ade
quate to the needs of the fast
growing city.
From 1904 to 1»1» reve
nue passengers carried on
Detroit's railway system In
creased 180 per cent, from
7K,:l IM.__-._o to 21D,«00,056.
In the same period the
company Increased Its track
age from ISO to 200 mile*,
14 per cent.
The result of this failure to
keep pace with the growth in pop
ulation and traffic is that De
troit today has a traffic density of
1,06;:,000 revenue passengers a
mile of track.
One gains a better Idea of
just what conditions are in
Detroit when one learns that
the traffic density of this
city today Is only exceeded
(ireater New York, which
had a traffic density In 1014
of approximately 1.100,000
a mile of track.
Those are the conditions that
Detroit faces, and yet as a result
of a traffic survey the city has.,
shown that $400,000 spent in,
re-routing downtown lines would,
increase the capacity of these,
line* 411 per rent.
In Itll the city forced the com
pany to a general 7-for-25-cent
fare, with universal transfers.
Etght-for-a-quarter tickets are
sold during the day on about 60
miles of lines and on all lines for
an hour In the morning and
evening.
So it iv not a fight for
cheap trans|Kirtatlon as
mncli as it is FOlt HKKVICK.
