J.i.tA.1 - feifc S ACTION IN PLACING COUNCILMEN ON RECORD INDORSED Civic and Business Bodies Approve Evening Ledger's Plan of Making Clear Of ficials' Stand on Transit Problem. Prominent citizens who have been Iden tified In many civic movements, business men who realize that real rapid transit Is essential to actual progress, and mem bers ot vatlous progressive organizations Indorsed the Hvknino: Ledger's action In placing every member of Councils on'ree- ord on the Taylor transit plan. Tho attitude ot the people's represen tatives, many declared, should bo known In advance, so their constituents might learn whether thc wore being actually lcprcscntcd. The Kvknino LcDoen's ac tion In furnishing the people with an Index to the local legislators' sentiment, therefore, was warmly commended. It was pointed out by many persons who are active In civic movements that Councils In tho past resorted to subter fugo when asked to go squnrcly on record concerning anything for the welfare ot tha people. llHTALIATION" THHLWTENL'D. Those who nrc still noncommittal on the Taylor transit plan will be asked to declare themselves, and should they re fute steps will be tnken In retaliation by business organizations In every part of tho city. It Is contended there Is no excuse for any Councilman pretending to have the welfare ot the people at heart to remain passive on a question which so vitally Interests the people. In view of the clty-wldo enthusiasm on tho subject and tho Hvenino Ledger's poll showing that Taylor transit Is favored by tho majority of Councllmcn, many persons contend that no obstruc tionist can stem the tldo at this stago of the game. Several business organizations will meet this week nnd nppolut committees to call on those Councllmen who are endeavoring' to remain neutral. Should these members of Councils still adhere to their passlyo nttltude, steps will be taken to compel definite assertions on the question. In the Northeast it Is known that Bev el nl organizations will go on record as opposed to the continuance of John M JIcKlnley, Jr., In Select, and Fred Schwartz, Jr , as their councllinatilc rep-, rcscntatlvet. These are the only two moil who favored the Costello brand df transit. Following ate a fow of tho views from pt eminent men on the question: Albert IJ. Turner, who has taken a prominent part lu numerous successful movements for civic betterment, snld: "Tho Evenino LuDtiKit's tnovo wns quite ns bright an undertaking its could have been made. The paper hns done n good piece of work in educating tho public, which Is the real boss of city af fairs. Where genuine public sentiment Is inudo as fnr reaching ns this, thero can he no doubt as to the result. "No politician Is utrald of unintelligent and sporadic sentiment," he said, "but all politicians realtzo the effect of an educated public sentiment. This Is lr rcstlble. Those ,wbo ically believe this can have an Ima'glhntlon to see an entire new system an accomplished fact within a comparatively short time," Another who warmly commends the RvENiN'a LEDaca's action lu obtaining tho Councllmnnlo Interviews on rapid tumult is Judge James Uorman, of tha Juvenile Court. JUDGE GOBJIAN'S APPROVAL. "It was a most excellent Idea for tho KvNiN-a Ledoer to put the Councllmen on record," Bald Judge Gorman. "By this means aro the people enabled to know how their representatives stand on the question, Tho transit question la 11 matter of such vltul Importance to the growth of Phlhrdelphla that 'It was a laudable undertaking to gather the op!n Ions of our law-makers so thut the people might know what to expect. "How do I stand on the transit ques tion? For Director Taylor's plan nnd opposed to Mr. Costcllo's. Mr Tnor has studied and vroiked over the proO lem and ho knows Philadelphia's trunstt needs thoroughly. I hoard him speoi; lost night before tlie Oak Je Improve ment Association and havo rend his ni ti des. I am In entire nccord with him nnd his comprehensive plan, which em braces every lection of the city, mid whl-li, together with housing, hygienic and other Improvements, will make Phila delphia the jjrcqter city It Is going to be." That the KVEXINU Ledoer had accom plished a good work in putting Cojncll men on lecord as to their stand on the Taylor transit plans was the opinion ot, former Judga Dlmner Jleeber, expressed today, 1 "I think It was a very creditable thing to do," said Judge Beeber, "It Is well to know bow Councllmen stand on the proposition. It Is always proper to learn tho sentiment of perrons who will pass on tho value of a proposition.'-' "The transit question was a matter of such public intetest that It was an excel lent Idea to put the Councllmen on ro prd," said J. B. W. Holton, piesldent or the Jloritlmo IJxchange. "The people must know the opinions uf the legisla tors who are to decide the Issue." "I have not studied the Costello ordi nance, but uin in reasonable familiarity with Ulrettor Tailor's plan, which com monds itself very strongly! to me," Mr. Holton continued. "'It covers the needs of thk entire city, and Is In lino with the spirit of progress, whereas the Costello ordlnance'is not, having the objectionable feature of sectional development In one locality." . .
