THERE are reasons other than sentiment- al ones for Medicine Hat s owning its own street railway. system. The News has already pointed out on several oceasions that the company which is asking for a franchise believes that the system will pay whatever percentage the city may demand and at the same time return a profit to the shareholders which will justify them in put- ting their money in it rather than in any one of the scores of other commercial enter- prises in the west which promise large gains. The expectations of the men behind this company form fhe strongest argument as to why Medicine Hat ought to keep its railway rights. that street railways operated under exelt- sive franchises, especially in such growing eentres as Medicine Hat and other weste' points, return a higher rate of profit than any other form of investment. The rail- Ways may not do this themselves, but the cause of the unique adyantag s and the powers they possess in the cities. Let us examine some concrete examples. The Calgary system, we are assured; is making a profit. at the present time. Cal- garians will proudly tell you that their rail- way-paid its own way and gave a gain from the very day of its ineeption. . The Ed monton system, after some prelim- inary squaring away so that it might find its true stride, is also producing a revenue which is greater-than its expense. The obligations which it was necessary for the city to undertake in order to establish the system, are being gradually wiped out in yearly portions. Perhaps the most outstanding proof of the practicability of municipal ownership as applied to the street railway is afforded by the City of Glasgow, Scotland. Civie proprietorship has proved such a success there that, gains from the railway are-used The remarkable result is that no citizen of Glasgow pays a cent of taxes on his real estate for the up- keep of the city. There are no municipal taxes as we understand them. There would be, however; were it not for the street rail- way. The Glasgow men pay certain taxes, it is true, but they go to the Government, not te the city. eg And the benefits of this splendid system are not confined to the obliteration of mun- icipal taxes. The Glasgow railway has fea- tures that cannot:be found in any privately- owned system. The service is as near per- and the generosity of a big city can make it. But the most remarkeble faet is the courtesy of the system towards its patrons, if a person boards a ear and discovers that he has not sufficient money with which to pay b e, the conductor does not immed- jiately ring the bell and put him off (no new sight to the writer, who lived for year cities burdened with privat tems), but carri s him to his The conductor merely takes the pa eall on iim late: citizen? If there Ration it has yet to dato believethat a stem-in-this city wily morning meal, kiss him. when he Financiers of broad experience admit) profits accrue to the companies solely be- wipe out the taxes after a few years opera- tion, Tt seems abundantly evident, how- ever, that a civie system will serve the people with a degree of completeness and satisfaction undreamed of by.private . cor- porations and will return. a profit..which may be put into the i g cofters and used for the benefit of the citizens /themselves. Besides it will open the way for many little improvements, ;such as have oken of as marking the Glasgow system, whieh would be studiously avoided by any private company. OO . THE mayor refers to the advertisement which-a, former Council carried in the News as a bonus and, from the way he speaks, evidently thinks it was of no value to the gity. Tf an advertisement is of no value to a municipality why then does His Medicine Mat News Wersv object to. the News accepting ad- vertising from Redcliff ? A. J. N, TERRILL, B ttor. CITIZENS of Medicine Hat, who have soe : amemm: come here from municipalities which rertiaing have street car services, are invited to tell ke e oar eae their experiences of the same to their 4 RING ning 2, 19 / friends in this city. If they intend to reside here for any length of time the imparting of knowledge on this point becomes a duty. Pashia adept ne ae IN urging that Medicine Hat should own its street railway system, the News does not expect to win the sympathy of the owners of autos, so much as the support of the man who will patronize the ears the man with the dinner-pail. Be ipso WE hope those Medicine Hat people after seeing our municipal railway in opera- tion will go home and decide that their city will have one just like it Lethbridge Her- ald.
