Show Instead of asking for two-cent passenger fares, reformers could better afford to suggest a raise of a cent a mlJe and then demand better service and better protection from wrecks. The present passenger rate Is not in any senso unfair, but there Is frequent 'slackness in providing conveniences at stations, and a sufficient suffi-cient number of coaches to glvo all passengers seats. It also seems that a little largei expenditure expendi-ture for a greater number of trackwalkers and guards at particularly dangerous crossings would prevent a certain class of wrecks. But the man who would ask to travel at less than the present rates, and as luxuriously as he docs, has an unlimited amount of nerve. |
