Acting under a decision of the Pub lic Utilities Commission of New Jersey, handed down Saturday, the Public Service Hallway Company restored the seven-cent fare on all of its lines im mediately after midnight jestcrday. As soon as action of the utilities commission became known, communities all over southtrn New Jersey began to take steps to find relief from what they consider an excessive charge for trolley transportation. The railway company successfully' contended that it could not operate at n profit except with a seven -cent far system. Commission Under Fire The fury of the car riders was not limited to the company alone, but was also directed agninst the Public Utility Commission. As retaliation for the com mission's decision favoring the com pany a mass-meeting was urgea. re mand will be made upon the Btntc Leg islature to nbolish the commission or take from it the power to alter con tracts entered into between a munici pality and a corporation. Frank II. Somner, of Newark, attorney lor tne protesting municipalities, announced he would ask for n review of the decision. Saturday's order, which also per mits the continuation of the one-cent charge for transfers, will continue in effect until the utility commission ap proves or disapproves the application for a zone-fare system. The zone-fare sjstem. as proposed by the Public Service Railway Company, also has caused a furious storm of pro test. This "syHtem" provides for an initial fare of five cents for the first mile of travel, with a cent for each ad ditional mile. It has been shown that if the sstem is Introduced in its present form it will nearly double fares to and from various communities in South Jersey. Councilman's Statement "It was obvious as early as the first hearing that the utility commission was pro-public service, and that it was op posed to giving the people's rcpresentn- ., -.. lnnl " nnirl rVmnnil- man Frederick Von Nieda, comment ing on the seven-cent fare order. "This, time, the commission overstepped its bounds. The people showed they were in no mood to be trifled with, aud I think tho commission is slated. It seemed that the comission, though ap poiutcd to protect the interests of the people, was protecting the trolley com panj's interests at the expense of the public nnd getting paid for it by the publictoo. This isn't the first time that the commission has been under fire for giving the people n raw deal. "The commission and the trolley crowd mistake the feeling of the people if they think they can get away with this latest gouge," went on Mr. Von Nieda. "We arc determined to fight this to a finish and will take it to the highest court we can." LOAN MEDALS AWARDED General Lord and Captain Daniel Kecelve Department Honors General Herbert M.

T TO DUAL DRUGTnX Have to Pay Twice for Right to Prescribe Narcotic for Public DOUBLE ACCOUNTING ALSO ' Philadelphia ph.vslcians are aroused over the Increase in the federal license fee for prescribing narcotics. The original charge of ?1 a ear was increased February 25 to ?3 a enr, after the iloetiirH bud nnid their tax. Besides complaining of the amount charged for the piivilege of admlnistcr- ing or prescribing narcotics, the medical men saj they have been subjected to iujustlie, because tliev were forced to pay the new fee in spite of the fact that the one already paid was supposed to hold good until next July. "There was no rebate made for the tax nlrendj paid," said Dr. J. Morton Bolee. secretary of the Philadelphia Comity Medical Societj, today. "It is not the amount of the tax thnt makes It objectionable to phjulriims, so mudi as the imposition of the tux at this time, when the doctors already hnve jinirt what tbe.v were asked to pay. The amount itself does seem excessive, hovv- evei. considering how infrequently most Liloctois need to administer or prescribe naicotie drugs.
