"Walt and see what happens," said one

FUTURE OF TRANSIT
PREDOMINANT ISSUE
Continued from rage One
ed principally that the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company should equip and operato
i such hign-speea lines as may be mint
by the city, that the revenue therefrom
should be so divided aa to protect the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company
reasonably, and that the company should
abandon the three-cent exchange system.
This co-operative program was ar
ranged by the director of the Department
of City Transit and the principal officers
of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany. It met with unprecedented publto
approval, and both parties thereto agreed
to use their best efforts to secure its
adoption.
In that this co-operative program was
the result of many protracted conferences
In which all phases of the question were
discussed and arranged, and as It re
ceived the Indorsement of the Department
of City Transit and of the officers of the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company, we
have prima laclo evidence that Its terms
are equitable and proper.
This po-operatlve program provides for
thd Immediate construction by the city
of:
First. The Broad street subway with
branches and a delivery loop.
Second. The Frankford elevated rail
way, extending from a point of connec
tion with the present Market street sub
way at Front and Arch streets to Frank
ford. Third. The Woodland avenue elevated
railway, extending from a point of con
nection with the Market street railway
at 30th and Market streets to Darby,
Fourth. It provides for the building of
additional rapid transit facilities by the
city, the most essential of which will be
a line through the northwest section con
necting with the delivery loop at the
City Hall, extending thence northwest
wardly In subway beneath the Parkway
to the Green street entrance of Falrmount
Park, thence ascending on private right
of way to an elevated structure passing
northwardly over 3th street to Allegheny
avenue, thence over Henry avenue to
Koxbo rough.
The cost of the first three lines men
tioned will be about (16,000,000.
The cost of the northwest line will be
about 9,000,000.
The total cost will be about tS5.000.000.
The program further provides for the
equipment and operation of tnese city
owned lines by tho Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company. As a first charge
J against the earnings of these lines the
company would be allowed 6 per cent,
m it eaulmnent investment, and after
S'j th 10th vear 1 Der cent, per year
would be set aslda for amortization of the
equipment cost. The city, with the aid
of the funds thus set aside, -would pur
chase the equipment from the company
at the expiration of the lease.
In the early years of operation the new
lines built by the city will take away
tiVMna irom iaa x-numuwiyma. vay,u
Tfrawlt Company This might tempora
rily out the net income of that company
more' than It could bear. Therefore, In
consideration of the company's co-operation
In the city's plan for Improving its
transportation facilities, the City would
properly agree to protect the net Income
of tho company to a certain extent. The
limitations of and tho conditions govern
ing this protection are fully set forth In
the program, which was printed for public
circulation. In general the company will
be protected in the net Income which it
will be enjoying when the new rapid
transit lines are placed In operation. This
will bo accomplished by allowing the
company to retain whatever amount may
bo necessary so to do out of the Income
of the new lines. All causes of loss other
than diversion of traffic to the new lines,
however, are expressly excepted.
It further provides that after the fore
xolng payments are made to tho Phila
delphia Rapid Transit Company out of
tho sarnlngs of the city-built lines the
interest and sinking fund charges, cumulative-,
ou the city's investment shall
"be paid, and that any balanco or surplus

the Intent being to make all high-speed
lines (city's nnd company's) available as
links In n complete Journey in a forward
direction between any two points. In the
tlty served thereby for 5 cents, but not to
compel the company to give a transfer
upon a transfer on Its own surface sys
tem without a high-speed lino Intervening.
The program also provides for an
equitable division of the fares of passen
gers using both the city and company
lines.
It requires tho company to eliminate,
on January 1, 191, all exchange tickets
on Its surface lines excepting those In the
delivery district between Arch and Wal
nut streets (both Inclusive) and tho Del
aware and Schuylkill Rivers. The re
maining exchange tickets would be elim
inated on January 1, 1920, when It Is
hoped that tho delivery loop will be In
full operation, thus furnishing such
added carrying capacity as will avoid
any unduo congestion In the delivery dis
trict. On and after January 1, 1916, one
free transfer would bo allowed to each
passenger using surface lines exclusively
at any point where surface lines Inter
sect each other outside of the delivery
district as above defined. On and after
January 1, 1920, one free transfer will be
allowed In a forward direction to each
passenger using surface lines exclusively
at any point In Philadelphia where such
lines Intersect.
In consideration of the elimination of
the exchange tickets the city would
waive for a limited period of time cer
tain stated payments otherwlso due the
city by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company under conditions now existing.
The program further provides that the
Union Traction Company and the Market
Street Elevated Passenger Railway Com
pany shall become parties to and be
bound by tho terms of tho new agreement
with the city; that alt dividends accrued
on Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company
stock up to December SI, 1914, amount
ing to about J12.000.000, shall be waived
and canceled; that tho Department of
City Transit shall havo frco access at
all times to tho books, accounts and rec
ords of the oompany, and shall have the
light to audit the same; that tho Phila
delphia Rapid Transit Company shall
rely upon tho Union Traction Company
to aid in securing only such funds as will
bo required for tho normal extension of
tho existing system, the requirements for
which will be greatly lessened by tho es
tablishment of the new high-speed lines
These are tho essential features of the
program for rapid transit development
with universal free transfers which was
arranged by tho Director of the Depart
ment of City Transit and by the officers
of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany, and which now lacks only tho ap
proval nnd Indorsement of tho stock
holders of tho Union Traction Company.
The question now before the people of
Philadelphia Is:
Will this program be carried into effect
or will It not7
Are the people to get or not to get
the advantages which It promises?
Is the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany to be afforded the protection to Its
present net Income and property which
the terms of this program affords or will
It forfeit such protection?
Director Taylor has truthfully stated
that every man, woman and child and
every business Interest In Philadelphia is
vitally concerned In this subject.
The people of Philadelphia demand
modern transportation facilities to carry
them quickly and conveniently between
their homes and places of employment,
business, education, recreation and
amusement In all of the various sections
of the city for one E-cent fare.
This demand cannot be denied.
They demand that n fair contract Bhall
be entered Into between tho city and the
existing company, whereunder the latter
shall perform this service and shall be
duly compensated therefor and protected
against loss by reason of Its co-operation.
This is a reasonable demand which will
havo to be met squarely.
The citizens must know where every
candidate for public office Btands with re
lation to these paramount Issues, which
so vitally affect every man, woman and
child In this community.

OPTOMETRISTS WIH
FIGHT VETO OF BILL BY
GOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH
Association Determined to Con
tinue Fight of Regulation
of Profession in
Pennsylvania
ILLEGALITY ALLEGED
A determined fight to nullify Governor
Brumbaugh's veto of the optometry bill
may result from tho two-day convention
of the Pennsylvania Optical Society,
which opened this afternoon in the as
sembly rooms of tho Chamber of Com
merce, In the Wldener Building, with 800
delegates from all parts of tho State In
attendance.
"It Is very regrettable that Governor
Brumbaugh vetoed the bill, which would
regulate the practice of optometry In the
State nnd do away with the frauds now
being perpetrated," said W. T. McCon
ncll, president of tho socloty, today.
"That wo will toko some kind of action
Is assured, but It has not yet been de
cided what the action will be. Halt the
members favor a fight to the Ilnlsh to
have the bill placed on the statute books
through mandamus croceedlnss. The
bill which was passed by the Legislature
was presented to the Governor April 20,
but was not vetoed until May 1, or 11
days later. Tho power to veto expires
after 10 days. .
"Othor members favor sending the Gov
ernor a scries of resolutions pointing out
why the bill Is desirable as a law. Tho
matted will bo decided tonight."
After the exectlve session addresses
were made by R. M. Lockwood on "Use
of Cylinders and Cross Cylinders In Sub
jective Methods," and by Prof. Fred. A.
Woll on "Optometry as Hygiene."
The other officers of tho organization
aro Alexander Martin and Thomas II.
Martin, vice presidents; W. J. Van Esson,
secretary; Eugene E. Heard, assistant
secretary; R. D. Pratt, Otto G. Hauss
mann, II. E. Herman nnd W. M. Upter
gravo. Mr. Haussmann, who is secretary of
tho Philadelphia optometrists, . oxplalncd
the advantages of State regulation.
"In 36 States optometry Is regulated by
rigid laws," he said. "But In Pennsyl
vania anybody can assume the title of
optometrist regardless of his knowledge
of the science. One of the greatest present-day
evils Is the numerous advertised
eye treatments by mall.
Notwithstanding the watchfulness of tho
United States mall officials, such methods
find many victims. One concern, whoss
seductive advertisement, 'A Pair ot
Glasses Free,' has swindled thousands,
was recently convicted in the Federal
courts, and It Is our ultimate aim to free
Pennsylvania of all similar concerns.
FOtt STATE EXAMINATIONS.
"Also, wo wish to have the practice of
optometry regulated by State board i
amlnatlons. This would place the pro
fession on a par with dentistry and oste
opathy. It would also prevent tho ex
periments of Incompetents on persons af
flicted with eye trouble.
According to Mr. Haussmann every
country of Europe is years behind so far
as the practice of optometry Is concerned,
"Germany," said he, "hoped to catch up
with us'ln about ten years, but, as a re
sult of the war, It Is hardly likely that
her hopes will be realized. One can readi
ly grasp the rapid strldo mado by Amer
ica in this science during the past 15 years
by merely attending the Adelphla exhibi
tion. In no other country havo Instru
ments or methods of treating optical de
fects attained suoh a degree ot perfec
tion." AID TO WORKERS.
When It Is known that the efficiency of
the workmen In groat Industrial plants
can be Increased 25 per cent through the
proper fitting of glasses to correct defec
tive vision, optometrists explain that one
can appreciate the Importance of their
convention. The attention of the Cham
ber of Commerce has been called to the
fact that in our large Industrial plants a
rigid examination ot the eyes Is now re
quired before an application for a posi
tion Is received.
Numerous entertainments have been ar
ranged for the visiting delegates. After
luncheon tomorrow afternoon the party
will he taken-through the Curtis Building.

WORLD PEACE LEADERS
MEET TO DEVISE PLANS
Hundreds of -Men and Women
Hear Appalling Statistics
of European War
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Oct . "This
instant!" Eva Marshall Shontz fervidly
and dramatically shot the words at the
International Peace Conference delegates
when the convention opened here today
"58 per cent of the habitable globe Is
swept by war!
"Of the billion, seven hundred and
twenty-one million human beings on this
planet, a billion of them are murdering
each other!
"From August to July the war cost
the world eighteen and a half billion dol
lars 1
"From August to July two million and
a quarter of human beings were slaugh
tered by their fellows, and nearly flvo
million more -were butchered so they will
never be real men again!
"Such Incomprehensible figures I Such
unbelievable massacre I
"I'll tell you what it's coming to if the
United States follows Europe's 40 years
of preparedness for war! It Is coming
to death and destruction for us."
Several hundred men and women dele
gates cheered the speech. The conven
tion, possibly later today, will take up
tho drafting into definite form of Miss
Jane Addams' universal peace pan, which
she announced has no concern with dip
lomats nor International lawyers, who,
she says, aro not worth wasting time on
in gaining peace. -
Upon America, Secretary Lucia Ames
Mead, of the Woman's Peace party, told
the convention, depends whether we pre
pare for war and set the pace for South
America and Asia, or whether we stand
Arm for peace and let South America
and Asia follow us.
She foresaw, she said, the world a
labyrinth of bread lines if America
doesn't light for peace until Europe's
blaze Is quenched. She characterized
rifle practice as silly, and declared that
Germany, even though victorious, would
have her vast territories necessarily un
guarded and open to attack sooner or
later from "350,000,000 revengeful foes."
Sho said no nation In the world could
effectively attack the United States.
Tho conference Is peculiarly concerned
with peace as a fundamental proposition
rather than In formulating plans to stop
the present war.
