CHICKASHA DAILY EXPRESS CHJ CKA8HA OKLAHOMA WEDNESDAY JANUARY 28 1920.
PACE TWO
f
ELECTRIC LINES ASK
STILL HIGHER FARES
J!y United Press.
Nw York Jau. 28. Ninotetu and
twenty 1h destined to witness ro
nowed efforts on tbe part of officials
el electric railway systems through-
out tUe United Statea to obtain au-
thority to charge still higher fures
than were granted the public service
corporations In 119 and 1918.
In a poll of G3 cities taken by the
United Press reports showed that In
only twelve cities' fares have not
been raised whllo in the other 41 in-
creases of from a fraction of a cent
to 4 and ." cents have been granted.
In eleven of the twelve cities
where the cost a ear rido remains the
same however either definite steps
have already been taken looking to-
ward a revision of the fare in favor
of the operating companies or adver
tising campaigns are being put on to
prepare the public mind for a later
demand. In only one city has there
Ik en an actual downward revision of
the fare.
Increased costs of labor steel cop-
pir wire and the hundred and one
oilier kinds of materials necessary to
the operation of an electric line has
Ik en the one outstanding reason ad-
vanced by the corporations In ask-
ing for more money. The old nickel
that used to be enough to pay all ex-
penses and then produco a respectable
profit now pays only about 2Vi to 3
tents' toward (ho upkeep and opera-
tion of the roads officials argue.
In several cities notably New York
muncipal bus lilies have been put in
operation substituting for various car
routes. New York's riding public has
for several months been bombarded
with proaganda for an advance in fare
on surface elevated and subway
lines The fare has remained at. 5
cents however although two or three
companies suspended transfer privil-
eges and ceased to operate cars on a
few lines.
In Chicago the state public utilities
commission granted the surface and
elevated lines authority to raise their
farss from 5 cents to 7 and 8 cents
respectively. Recently however when
examination showed the companies
prospered too greatly on the advanced
fares' the increases were withdrawn
and now the cars may be ridden in
the lake metropolis for 6 cents.

Tvu n riilfis for a dollar: Des

JAIL DOG OWNERS NOT DOGS
By United Press.
Marietta. O. Jan. 28. Impounding
owners of dogs Instead of the dogs
themselves has been decided on here
by Sheriff Roberts as a cure for
persons who violate the local dog
license act.
With the advent of the new year
Roberts issued the usual warning
against failure to buy dog tags.
Many owners of canines ignored the
warning. So Roberts promulgated
the new edict.
He holds it is cheaper to Imprison
and feed the owners of the dogs
Hi an to feed and house the dogs
ai.d then pay to have them killed.

You Can Be Sure of One Thing-
Food Wii! Be High This Winter
"DEEF for instance will be more expensive. In an
equal purchase of BRER RABBIT syrup and beef
there is times as much heat and energy in the syrup.
Think ot the many inexpensive dishes with which
you can serve BRER RABBIT syrup; pan-cakes fried
hominy or even a slice of bread.
BRER RABBIT is so delicious you can serve it again
and the family will only be looking for more.
Ask the family who eats "BRER RABBIT" for
breakfast arid dinner or that little chap you know
who always has a slice of bread and syrup in his hands.
The answer: "BRER RABBIT is a real country made
ribbon-cane syrup. " The label says this in plain straight
forward words.

LIBERTY LOAN BONDS
The fact that so many government war time
Liberty Loan bonds have bden placed on the
market has brought the price of these securi-
ties to a low level.
It is known that a large per cent of the pro- i
ceeds of these bond sales has been used in spec-
ulative and non-essential investments.
We believe that in the very near future the
market price of these bonds will advance.
And we therefore would advise you to hold
hn t.h'psfl e-ood government securities. I
