It will not fall onoe again to att'act a gieat and appreciative audience THE FRACTION OF A CENT. What Its Saving Means in a Lump Annual Aggregate. From the Washington Star The little conductor on the George town car was In an arithmetical mood recently. "As I told you the othei day," he said, "our coloied patrons are our most piofl table riders because they usually pay 5 cents u ride You and the great majority of white ilders, especially regular patrons, pay 4 1-6 cents'a ride. Now, I w ill demonstrate what this fiactlon of a cent saved by the rider means to him. The company gains In Increased rides, as I will show vou "If you spend a quarter a day for tickets, you save approximately 20 cents on each dollar expended for car fare. The average regular patron, for the sake of an Illustration, will spend ?2 a week for car tickets, gaining 40 cents n week, or $20.80 a year. Assum ing there are 100,000 regular patrons who buy $2 worth ot car tickets u week, this saving to them amounts In the aggtegate to the annual total of .u.ou. multiplied by 100,000, which equals $2,OSO,000, a comfortable fortune for even a car conduetoi. If there aro but 50,000 regular patrons, divide this amount by one-half; If 200.000, double It. "The directors don't take me in their "onfldence, out I believe In cheap fares and full cars, which must be run be tween the terminal at certain Intervals, empty oi loaded, at no additional ex pense. At n low fare a rldei will pa ti onlze the cats to fro a few blocks that would othei wise be coveted on fqot. It Is the 'shoi t riders' that pay the company's dividends, It costs us no more to pick up three 'short rldeis' on a trip than It does to cany one passenger from terminus to terminus. "Strnngely, the capitalist does not believe In low fareB, despite the con vincing object lesson of the New York elevated toads. The company said they would have to go out of business If they were compelled to reduce tho fare from 10 to 6 cents outside of the 'commission hours.' When tho faro was Anally reluctantly reduced tho roads could not Varry the etowds, and they Increased their stock millions, and still paid good dividends, "All night cars? Of collide they should pay. No, I don't think they would be opernted at u loss. If they are not patronized by tho public, an order compelling their opetntlnn could be resclndeilj but I believe thev will not only prove a great convenient to the public, bring Washington up to date In regard to street car service and prove a source of revenue, But suppose the companies do lose a little at tltst, It doesn't matter If the public convenience Is subserved. The expeil ment, now that the capital hnR the model street railway system of the country, ought to be successful They said the same thing about the all night cars on the elevated roads In New York, but these trains are well patronized at all hours," Exchange.
