THE EMBLEM OF HUMAN MERCY
By SAMUEL GOMPERS
The Red Cross is an emblem typifying human
mercv and sympathy, lis mission to relieve phys-
icai pain una mniiMui iu mniu aim
body has given it a place deep in the
hearts ol all our people. For those
whose dear ones are in places ol
great danger il is a comfort to know
that the American Red Cross is per
forming more effective service on a
larger scale than ever before.
In addition to serving our enlisted forces, il is
assisting in the work ol civil relief among our allies
whose soil is being devastated by the fighting.
Thus the Red Cross is helping to interpret the
constructive spirit of our Republic which holds
sacred human life and the ideals it seeks. -
As time goes on the scope of the work of the
Red Cross in ILurope will increase in order that the
organization may meet the demands that will be
mado upon it. It must receive the full and hearty
support of tho American people. It is only through
such an agency that we can be assured relief and
necessary ministration to our young men forming
our military force.
It is my sincere desire that adequate funds
will be secured for tho work of the Red Cross.

It Takes $M65 Today to
Cover Last Year's Dollar
To furnish stroet car service in Portland it is now
costing us
I6 1-2 per cent more in operating expenses than
one year nga.
As you must know, operating costs in all in
dustries have .advanced enormously, and the limit
has not yet been reached.
The street railway is not sacred and is not
protected in any way from the rising posts of
furnishing transportation represented by the high
er wages paid and greater costs of materials re
quired and used for repairs.
A Big Jump of $30-1,133.13
Think of it!
During the five months from November, 1917,
to March,, 1918, inclusive, the direct operating
costs of furnishing street railway service in Port
land increased $30-1, 133.13 over the corresponding
period 12 months earlier.
This represents an increase of 42.4 per cent.
And, mind you, no interest, depreciation or
taxes are included in these figures.
SO Per Cent Was for Wages Alone.
During the month of March, 1918, the di
rect operating costs of the street railway were
$71,031.91 more than in March 1917.
An Increase of 46 1-2 Per Cent.
Of the increased costs, more than 80 per
cent was paid in higher wages to employees.
We cannot provide adequate streetcar service
otherwise than by meet ng higher costs imposed upon
us by the conditions of the times and we can
not meet the higher cost of such service except
'by receiving a higher fare than wou d suffice
years ago
There Is No Return for Stockholders
During the five months' period, Novemben
1917, to March, 1918, inclusive, the earnings ol
the street railways were $31 1,733 after deduction .
of operating expenses and taxes making allow
ance for depreciation as determined by the
Public Service Commission.
This is at the rate of 4 1-10 per cent per
annum on the value of the street railway sys
tem, as determined by the Public Service Com
mission. The basis of net earnings for the five months
period mentioned is insufficient to meet the interest
on bonds and maturing street improvement as
sessment and provides no funds for improvements
or dividends to stockholders, who for four years'
have had no return whatever on the millions
of dollars invested by them in the street rail
ways. Please think this over!
VOTE 100 X YES.
