CLEVELAND'S TRANSIT FIGHT
WON VICTORY WHICH HOLDS
LESSON FOR PHILADELPHIA
Five-Cent Fare, Universal Transfers, Called
Impossible for Philadelphia, Are 66 2-3 Per
Cent Higher Than Ohio City's Tariffs -
WHAT CLEVELAND WON IN 10 YEARS
TOM JOHNSON sacrificed his life and his fortune in a ten-year battle to
win real transit facilities for Cleveland. When he began, Cleveland had
a population far under half a million; now it is estimated at 800,000. Five
years ago the municipal authorities were confronted with an almost impos
sible slum prob.om; now the housing question is almost entirely solved.
A real "fight to the death" has given Cleveland "three-cent faro with uni
versal transfers, unrivaled day service and excellent rush-hour service, in
well-ventilated cars, running on as good n roadbed as can be found in any city
of the country and operated by the highest paid, best-treated trainmen in the
world. In nctual dollars it has saved carfares of approximtely $4,000,000 a
year, or the interest on $80,000,000."

By a Staff Coneipondenl
WASHINGTON. Sept :0 Instead of
ghlnjc vessels of foreign registry unre
stricted authority to engage In American
coastwise trade, as proposed by the Ad
ministration, the bill which Is to be reported
favorably to the House tomorrow by the
t, Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee
will restrict the time of such operation to
the period of the war and three months
' thereafter.
- To prevent Canadian transcontinental
llnea making good on their boasts that they
would soon carry all Alaskan business
across Canada by diverting It from Seattle,
"Wash., to Prince Rupert, B. C, the com
mittee has Incorporated a specific provision
that foretgn-bullt vessels shall not enrage
In Alaskan business.
At the meetlnr of the Merchant Marine
Committee today, at which an agreement
waa reached on the bill, consideration was
given by the committee to the action taken
by the Philadelphia Maritime Exchange
w)th reference to this legislation.
The Exchange Indorsed the plan with
provision that "vessels of foreign registry
be only permitted to engage In the coast
wise trade when operated under a special
license, such license to be valid for only one
peclflc voyage."

IT WOULD be golnj- far nflcld to give a complete and dotailed account of the
many ramifications of Cleveland's traction history. Headers aro doubtless familiar
with the broad outlines of that ten-year struggle; how Tom Johnson came back In
1300 to take up his permanent residenro in Cleveland and to devoto the remainder
of his life to the btttcimcnt of municipal conditions, how he campaigned and won
tho ofllec of Mayor on n platform pledglnf
uncompromlslng opposition to any franchise
renewal which provided for a higher rate of
carfare than three cents, hew he was elected
ami re-elected three times on the same Issue,
how as everj tick of the clock brought the
railway franchises one after another to their
expiration, the company offered six, then
seven, and finally eight tickets for a quarter,
how evon a President of tho United States
was drawn Into the fight to give his in
dorsement to ono of the company's mayor
alty candidates, how with victory at last
within reach the people turned Johnson out
of o(llc spent in health and vigor, wrecked
in fortune, but undaunted still in spirit, and
how on the ashes of his defeat his associates,
with Judge Hobert "W. Taylcr, drafted
a settlement that embodies most of the sa
lient principles for which Mayor Johnson
stood nnd which gives Cleveland carriders
transpoitation at cost, the municipality con
trol of service nnd upkeep of property, and
the cotipany management and operation of
the lines for a fixed ter, l on an agreed valuation of the system.
AU these are more or less familiar chapter of the Cleveland traction con
troversy. They represent the steady unfolding of tne Johnson theory of street-railr-d
-on rol, though in the end the Taler ordinance (which is the name the
pla "oej by In Cleveland) contained In Mr. Johnson's view such vital defects that
befeve his death, when the ordinance was up for ratification at a refeiendum
election, he opposed its upproval because it provided a capitalization that still
contained $8, ",00.000 of water, too high a maximum rate of fare, nnd cumbersome
arbitration n athinery for the settlement of disputes.
The people, however, approved the Tnyler ordinance, and on March 1, 1910,
It went Into effect. Before reviewing Its operation for the last six years let me
sketch its chain of provisions.
Maximum Fare Is Four Cents
The city controls and specifies service through the medium of the City Council
and the lattw'a technical adviser, tho street railroad commissioner, the company
runs the road on fixed allowances for operation and maintenance, employs and
dlscliarg's officers, operatives, clerks, etc, expends revenues, subject to the super
lskin of city authorities, and stockholders receive a guaranteed and fixed roturn of
( per cent. Cost of transportation includes legltlmato operating expenses, main
tenance, renswal nnd depreciation charges. Interest and taxes. There are ten
possiblo rattn of fare, ranging from the maximum, four cents cash fare or seven
tickets for tuenty-flve cents and one cent for n transfer, to the minimum, flat two
cents cash frre. The prevailing rate of fare Is determined by a barometer reserve
called the li.torest fund, which contained $500,000 In tho beginning, and which
always reveals the net balance after all costs of operation, etc., are met. When tho
fund shows an amount over $700,000 tho faro is reduced to the next lower rate,
when It goes below $300,000 the fate Is raised to the next higher rate, the intention
ct the ordinance being that It shall stay approximately at $500,000. The Initial
rate of fare was three cents nnd one cent for a transfer; this was lowered to flat
three cents fare on June 1, 1911, but was restored to the initial rate in September,
1914. Differences between tho company and tho city which cannot be adjusted
amicably are settled by arbitration. As for municipal ownership, the city reserves
the right cither to purchase the property upon six months' notice, or after January
1, 1918, to designate a purchaser, the purchase price to be the ordinance valtje plus
authorized future additions to the property. If the purchase is made before the
expiration of tho grant a 10 per cent bonus is added to the ordinance alue, less
bonds and floating debt, which the city assumes. The company's franchise expires
May 1, 1934, but the city has a continuing option to renew it for a longer period
upon tho same terms as In the original grant.
The foregoing are the chief points of the settlement ordinance. The valuation
fixed by Judge Tavler In the final negotiations was a little more than $24,000,000
separated as follows. Stock, $14,675,000; bonds, $8,128,000, and floating Indebtedness,
$1,288,000. This valuation was about $10,000,000 less than the lowest figure placed
upon the pioperty by the companj, on the other hand, It was about $8,000,000
higher than the city contended It should be. For, according to Mayor Johnson, the
company was allowed $3,(100,000 for its unexpired franchises, $2,600,000 for special
overhead charges and $1,800,01)0 for pavement the first of which should not have
been allowed because it took no note of franchises operated at a loss; tho second
Item added a special overhead to the rgular overhead contained in the valuation
schedules and was therefore a gratuitous addition, and the third pavement should
not have been allowed because it really constituted the company's license fee to the
city for the use of its streets No one has over successfully refuted the soundness
of Mayor Johnson's objections, and yet It must be noted that even with the settle
ment valuation In excess of the physical wortli of tho property, the companj's
tockholders only got flftv -five for their stock in tho reorganization that followed.
And of equal importance is the fact that Cleveland with three cent fare and uni
versal transfers still manages to do it under the burden of an Interest charge of
a half-million dollars annually on the wnter that still remains In the capitalization.
What the Tayler Ordinance Accomplished
That brings us directly to the concrete results of operation under the Tayler
ordinance. We may as well epitomize the situation right at the beginning:
Three-cent fare with universal transfers, unrivaled day service and
excellent rush-hour service, in well-ventilated and well-lighted cars, run
ning on as good a roadbed as can be found in any city of the country
and operated by the highest-paid, best-treated trainmen in the world, is
an actual, persistent reality on exhibition twenty-four hours a day In the
city of Cleveland, which has a population, including its environs, of
800,000 inhabitants.
Service has been constantly Improved both during; the day and in the morning
and evening- rush hours. Throughout the day only about 600 cars are needed to
operate the lines, but at night traffic checks show that more than thrco times
that number are needed and tho company operates upward of 1600 cars between 4
and 6 o'clock p, m. It has been said on good authority that there Is not a city In
the country that operates three times as many cars during the peak period aa nro
operated the remainder of the day. The explanation Is simple In Cleveland profits
are limited to 6 per cent, and the aim Is to secure the "best transportation at cost"
at all hours; elsewhere, profits aro unlimited and the aim Is to nurse tho system
along during tho day, and, using substantially the same number of cars, make a
"haul" In receipts In the morning and evening; by crowding equipment to capacity.
No better rolling stock will be found anywhere In the country. Hundreds of
largo center-entrance motor cars and trailers have been purchased In the last thrco
years, the purchases being tho largest In American railway annals for a similar
period of time. Trailers were bought bocauso rush-hour equipment waa only
needed for two or three hours a day. Trailers cost $300 apleco. Instead of $6000,
the cost of a good motor car; consequently, they reduce tho money tied up and
drawing Interest twenty-ono out of twenty-four hours, whllo doing the work more
efficiently than two motor cars, for it Is easier to operate a train of two cars
through crowded streets at night than two motor cars separately. Plans for tho
future call for the purchase of 160 to 200 cars annually.
Nor have the roadbed, equipment or overhead construction been allowed to run
down. Tho two chief falsehoods about the Cleveland traction situation that
residents aro frequently called upon to refutes regard servlco and upkeep. The
former has been discussed. As for the latter, all that need bo said Is that during
the first three years of operation, March, 1910, to March, 1913, there was spent tho
sum of $4,200,000 for maintenance and depreciation. During tho same period the
the average physical valuo of the system. Including cars, track and power facilities,
was $17,600,000 In other words, In three years, nearly 25 per cent of the ontlre
value of the road was spent to rehabilitate and keep the system In a high standard
of repair, and this out of current earnings. If this policy Is adhered to in the
future, the system will be renewed out of earnings at a rate that will substantially
replaco In twelve years. When one considers that the lowest life placed upon a
street railway property by experts Is fifteen years, Cleveland's rato of replace
ment appears extravagant under five-cent fare and Impossible with three-cent
fare. Nevertheless "thero is such an animal," and Cleveland Is keeping her street
car system In unrivaled condition under three-cent fare.
Save $4,000,000 a Year in Carfares
And now what about the nctual dollars and cents saved' In tho six years
and more that have elapsed since the ordinance went into effect, a saving in car
fares of approximately $25,000,000, or about $4,000,000 annually, has been realired
for tho car riders. That this has meant a substantial paving to ovcrjbody, espe
cially tho poorer classes, goes without saying. The average family of five, for
example, has saved about $40 a year. But permit me to make a more significant,
If somewhat fanciful, comparison. Tour million dollars Is 5 per cent annually on
$80,000,000. If Tom Johnson, instead of dedicating his talents and efforts to the
street railroad problem, had continued to devote them to tho accumulation of a
huge fortune, nnd at his death had left $80,000,000 to the city with a direction that
It be rpent for beneficent municipal undertakings, ho would l.avo been hailed as
ono of the greatest of modern benefactors. Monuments and memorial halls and
bronze tablets would have been dedicated to the perpetuation of his memory, for
his bequest would have added ostly to the facilities of the city. But Tom John
son did homcthing better than leave money. He taught the people of Cleveland
how to rrake $80,000,000 for themselves, how by Jolnlne hands and reclaiming their
own domain the public streets they could earn tho right to all the fruits that
resulted therefrom. And Ly teaching them how to do It in tractions ho blazed
the way for similar collective efforts in the field of other municipal utilities.
Undoubtedly one of the most wholesome results of three-cent fares has been
Its effect upon the housing problem. A high rate of fare for a long distance abso
lutely compels the poorer classes to live within the zone of cheap fare This
has been one of the chief reasons elsewhero for congested tenement districts.
Cleveland scaicely knows what the tenement-house pioblem is, and ns jenis go by
the possibility of the problem becomes more and more remote. Three-cent fare is
doing It by making It possible to live eight or nine miles from the center of popu
lation, and to ride twenty miles across town for a single fare. Make it possible
for people to live out In tho open away from the stress and turmoil and crowding of
shop, fuctory and business districts by furnishing cheap carfare, and tho tenement
house problem will solve Itself
Tho company is a cenerous employer. The rate of wages for motormen and
conductors la thirty-one to thirty-four cents an hour and the averago for tho sys
tem about thlrtv -three cents an hour, or about four cents higher thnn the aveiage
rato In tho United States, whether for unionized systems or not This liberality
of compensaation to operating emplojes is characteristic of the compensation to all
other employes, both salaried and wage earning.
What, then, is the secret of Cleveland's pronounced success with three cent fare"
Tho answer lies at tho surface and is the same as may be given for the success of
any sound and enterprising business. First, reduction from five-cent to tlirce-cnt
faro has resulted In a heavy stimulation In the number of car riders. Tills, together
with the Increase of "short-haul" traffic, has been so tremendous as to materially cut
down tho losses duo to fare reductions. Secondly, and this supplies the rest of tho
explanation, tho property has been operated on a valuation approximating its real
value and without possibility of speculative profits.

Whether Argentina will break with Ger

overwhelming Senate vote for a diplomatic
rupture was expected to be reflected In the
decision of the Lower House.
Buenos Aires received the news of the
Senate's 23-to-l decision In favor of sever
anao of relations with Germany In excited
demonstrations. The city authorities, ap
prised of the vote, promptly stationed all re
serves In the downtown streets so that dis
order was virtually eliminated Tho gen
eral public's Interest In the situation was
attested by great crowds on all downtown
streets until a late hour last night, and a
Jam of excitedly curious which assembled
early today.
There was no doubt that the Administra
tion was profoundly astonished by the
almost unanimous vote In tho Senate for a
break with Germany. President Irigoyen
and his advisors havo steadily Insisted on
full neutrality The 23-to-l vote may upset
their calculations, particularly It anything
