THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN. PORTLAND, JANUARY 17, 1915. 15 STREETCAR CHIEF ASSAILS "JITNEY" Taking of Short-Haul Patrons From Railway by Bus Service Called Unfair. WOMAN WHO IS 101 TEAKS OLD TODAY IS FLUENT CONVERSA- TIONALIST. . PROFITABLE FARES WON President Griffitfi, of Portland Hallway, Light & Power Co., Condemns Rival Service WhicJi Escapes Expense of Lines. Unfair competition was charged to the jitney bus" by Franklin T. Grif fith, president of the Portland Hallway, Light &, Power Company, in his ad dress before the Transportation Clu at its annual dinner last night. The head of Portland's traction system sai the "jitney" thrives on the short haul from the center of the cjty into the close-in residence districts, dui ao not attentat the lone: hauls to the sec tions far removed from the business center. President Griffith declared that it Is only by the profits on the short-naui passenger that the railway company 1h able to make the lone hauls at a &-cent fare. He pointed out that the company pays large sums annually i utreet navinsr between its rails, ii bridge tolls and taxes, whereas the "jitney" has no such charges 10 meex, This fscaopment of expense, he said, was an additional basis for the charge of unfairness against the auto bus that is just entering this field. . Rallwar Service Vpbeld. President Griffith said: The auto 'bus and the n-eent touring car now iri established on the streets or ron land and the question is fairly presented to the people of Ihw city and to the op erators of th new method of transporta tion as to whether It can and dots provide a better system of transportation than the street curs antf whether ti can be operated so a3 to afford a service as good or better tti an the streetcars at a simtiar cost. in iitomohiie and the awto 'bus may ear ltav Hm ilace in the transport at ton prob lem, but neither ran yet supplant the older method S transportation on the basis of equal service and cost. lit nur various activities we, ourselves. find occasion to use a considerable number of automobiles and have and are now using machines of a number of different makes. We have our own statistics as to cost and we have statistics compiled from the ex-itoriom-n of a. number of other operators, and we know that the automobile touring car cannot successfully compete with the &frcrt railway ut a 0-cent fare and Rive a like service. The same thing; Is true as to the auto 'bus. When I say that the touring car and the auto bus cannot suc cessfully- give like service to the street railways, 1 wish you would understand that I mean street railway service as n n conducted throughout the City of Portland Jn American -cities the unit fare on street TMiiwava is Dractically universal. The paa- scnger pays the same fare for a ride of ti v oiocks as no uoci iur wiw . . 1 miles. Zone System Used Abroad. I n most Ku ropcan ci t les the zone sy s tm of fares is in force, under which aya- tAni a. nuMiiKer oavs a rate of fara pro portioned to the Icuffth of haul. In other words, each passenger is required to pay for exactly what he buys, wnu-n is aim i.nre transportation. If he rldea only i few blocks within -the first zone, he pays a small fare. If his ride carries mm into the second zone, he pays an increased Tare. mr.fi an n increasing fare through each of the several xonea of operation of the street railways. In American cities, like Portland, there are some lines of railway where the traf 1 flo density is so great and the haul so short that the number of passengers per car mil la unmet imes two or three times sj manr as the passengers per car-mile on those parts of the system, operat ing on lono-ar hauls and in more sparsely settled districts. It is a fact in all Amer ican cities operating under the unit system of faro that in many instances it actually costs the street railway more for the car riage of a given passenger than the fare ha pays the company, and this Is possible only by reason or inn mci inm haul riders In the more densley populated districts have been transported at a cost less than the fare paid. Without the short haul riders it would be impossible, except as a charitable enterprise, to carry the long haul passengers. The obligation ot a street railway system In an American city is to give reasonably adequate service to all parts of the city, whether such service requires long or short hauls. Portland Service Ranks High. Statistics show that there, is a greater maps of street railway track per unit of population in the City of Portland than In any other city in the country, save two, and the same statistics show by the same comparison that a greater number of cars . Aru.-att unnn th street railway lines in Portland than In any other city. Some of you may be Inclined, to dispute tnis statement on the ground that you may be lieve In Portland that you do not sea quite ns many cars passing a given point in the hiiin.M sinter as you would at a similar point in some of the Eastern cities, but bear in mind, if you piease, mat. m proporuou in retaliation Portland is one of the largest cities in area in the United States. For in stance, the Citv of Cleveland, with a popu lation of 7.VMKJO. is compressed in an area of ;7 eq.tare miles, whereas Portland, with a population of not more than 200,000, has an area of ."T sauare miles. Now. let us see how this automobile and auto 'bus competition is working. Do you know of any automobile or auto 'bus oper ating between St, Johns and Portland for a 5-cent fare? Are there any operating ' between the business center of Portland and i J,ents for 5 cents? Have any of these ma chines attempted to go out to the remote ends of our Kast Fide lines and operate into th tins ine center for S rents? Io they by a system of transfers carry you for a single fare to any part of the cltyT i.ney have not and they will not. If any such operator should nave tne temerity to inaugu rate such a service he would speedily be come bankrupt. Short-Haul Patrons Taken. The autos are wisely confining their op erations to comparatively short hauls to and from the business center of Portland, They are not attempting to go into territory un served by the street railways, but, on the contrary. re following the lines of greatest traffic density and using the streetcar Una itself as a route, in otner woros, me auio- mnhllM ar-a. rnterinr to the Short-hSUl D3- senger in the districts of greatest density of population and by so doing are taking from the street railway system that service which It operates at a cost below the fare paid to it and without which it cannot successfully conduct its service to the more remote sec tions of the city, on which business tne cost Is greater than the fare paid. In the Interest of the growth and develop ment of Portland la it wise that the people as a whole should discourage their street - railway company and the investors In street railway securities to such an extent as to prevent the giving of service to a consider able portion of the population ? Ia addition to the giving of service to all parts of the city, near and far, at the mini mum rat of far consistent with the serv ices rendered, the street railway company is a heavy contributor to the general cost of maintaining the government of the city, the county and state, and to the construction of streets and highways withm and without the city. No single industry in Portland has in the last decade expended as much money In and about the City of Portland as the Portland Railway. Light ft Power Com pany, the greater portion of which has been expended for labor ,andi Oregon materials. Paving Expense listed. ThS Portland company has up to the first of this month expended for the paving now In us oa the streets of Portland, exclusive o&any cost atrtlbutable to track construc tion, the sum of $2,157,709. This sum, mind you, was spent for paving used by the gen eral public and not by the street railway. Kxparience has demonstrated that on an aversg the yearly maintenance cost of pavement laid by us Is 3 per cent of the original cost and the annual depreciation fs not less than per cent. Now If you assume the correctness of the figures men-: tloned and add thereto interest on the original Investment at par cent, you will .tad thai la addition, to th original invest-. f 'isfrA - ; if Cs rjk Y l tfC v w W tt PIONEER 101 TODAY Mrs. Rosamond Emery Says No Habit Governs Her. ISTHMUS CROSSED THRICE meat in the paving we have an annua' charee aeainst it of 323.tio6..15, made up o maintenance, depreciation and Interest, all of which Is contributed by the company to tho r-ublic-at large. in J014 the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company paid in Federal, state, city and county taxes the sum of $657,000. Of that sum was paid as taxes upon Its street railways in the Cltv of Portland and in addition thereto license fees on its street railways amounting to $10.612 were paid to tho City of Portland. A still further charge on its street railway operation paid to the City of Portland was the sum of $61.4&4.38 for the privilege of crossing the bridges over the Willamette River during the year 1914. Service Styled Unfair. . Under the present system of operation of the auto bus and automobiles the city de- r ves practically nothing in revenue or bene fits from their operation. I trust that I have made clear not only the unfair nature of this competition to the existing company, out also that the best in terests of the people of the City of Portland would be subserved by placing automobile or auto bus transportation in its proper neld as supplementing existing transportation only in those districts where there Is or may hereafter exist an inadequacy of street rail way service and then subjecting them to a burden for the benefit of the public com mensurate with that assumed and dis charged by the existing company. Either similar burdens should be imposed upon the new transportation system or the existing company should be relieved of further obli gations in the matter of such charges and reimbursed for what It has heretofore ex pended for the benefit of the public. I trust that in the interests of the public as well as the company a fair and equitable solu tion of this problem will speedily be found. ACTIVE CAREER ENDED DEATH OF C. O.

Mr. Conwell went Into the basement of his home at 566 Rodney avenue, pre sumably to attend the furnace fire. His family heard a raurried explosion, Dut thought it was only a bl ck of wood falling against the furnace. As he was gone for a long time, his wife went down and found him lying in a pool of blood with a recently discharged re volver in his hand. Mr. Conwell has a wife and four chil dren. The children are Grace Conwell. Mrs. J. E. Cigg, and J. T. Conwell, of Portland, and Mrs. H. D. Whitney, of Forest Grove. Manony Dwelling: Starts. Work has been started on a new dwelling for M. J.

Woman, Born in Maine Before It Became State, Strongly Denounces Whipping Child Trip to the "Big Ditch" Is Hope. "In all the years of my life I never have let a habit govern me," said Mrs. Rosamond Roberts Emery, who is 101 years old today. "I have begun little things which I knew I might develop into a habit, but as soon as I thought I was becoming too fond of anything I quit it until I cared only mildly for it." This unique assertion comes from a little white-haired woman who has been on this earth more than a cen tury. She is a remarkable conversa tionalist, with a good memory for dates and details. She can tell wonderful stories and tell them lucidly. She re members California when It was only an infant, and Maine before it was born. Blow to Child Viewed aa Wrons. Mrs. Emery has some decided views on modern methods, foremost of which is on the rearing of children. She is radically opposed to corporal punish ment and said concerning it: "if never say another thing which the pub lic may hear, right now I want o raise my voice in a protest against the whip ping of children. Too many children are beaten nowadays. Many of them are not intellectually perfect as a result. A beating never corrected a wrong, and the parent who strikes a child for misdemeanor is doing great harm." Mrs. Emery has crossed the Isthmus of Panama three times and says she would like to -cross again in the big ditch." She was born in Maine when it was a nart of Massachusetts, 101 years ago today. Her parents were of &ngllsn descenj. her father having first been educated for the ministry. He served in the Revolutionary War, however, but was never ordained. Use of Medicine Forgotten. Mrs. Emery married when 17 years old and in her early 20s was a widow. With her one child she came to Cali fornia in 1861 and has lived there off and on ever since. She has been in Portland for a little more than a year and says she hopes to pass the rest of her life here. Brie lives witn ner grana son, H. R. Emery, 547 Fourth street. When asked if she were not glad to have lived so long, she said, half wearily. "Oh, no; I believe that 70 or 80 years is long enough for anyone to live. I am not complaining, though. When my God gets ready for me he will call me and until then, l must De content." Mrs. Emery is the youngest or a family of 12 and was born when her mother was almost B0 years old. She savs she has not taken a dose of medi cine for so long that she has forgotten when it was and eats wholesome food. She has a good appetite, eating two meals a day regularly, one always with meat. She drinks neither tea nor cot fee now, although she says she drank coffee and believed that it will hurt no on if used in moderation. Mrs. Emery likes Portland, nut says that she ttets so lonesome lor com pany. "I like , to talk to people," she said, "and I think I should be happy if I had more come to taiK to me.

Loss of appetit is always the first signal of inward weakness, of a Jazy liver, clogged bowels. . It should be given immediate attention so as to ward of f a more serious illness. The timely use of . HOSTETTER'S Stomach Bitters has . proven very beneficial as an appetite re storer, aid to digestion and preventive of indigestion, heartburn, nausea, biliousness, constipation arid malaria, fever and ague. 1 WHAT DYSPEPTICS SHOULD EAT A PHYSICIAN!! JtDVICK. "Indigestion and practically all forma of stomach trouble are, ntno t linen out of ten, due to acidity; therefore utoni ach sufferers whould, whenever poni ble, avoid eating food that la acid lib Ita nature, or which by chemical action la the Ktomuoh develops acidity, t'nforttt nately, anch a rule eliminate mo Ft foods which are pleasant to the tante mn well as those which are rich tn blood, flesh and nerve build! nn irorrtt. This ia the reason why dysnrptfes and, stomach aufferers are usually so thin, emaciated and lucking in that vital energy which can only come from a well-fed body. For the benefit of thot sufferers who have been ohltited to ex clude from their diet all starchy, sweet or fatty food, and are trying to keep up a miserable existence on gluten prod ucts, I would siiKtreat that you should try a meal of any food or foods which you may like. In moderate amount, taklnR immediately afterwards a tea spoonful of binu rated maKnrcnla In a little hot or cold water. Thin will neu tralize any acid which may be present, or which may be formed, and Instead of the usual feeling of uneasiness and fullness, you will find that your food agrees with you perfectly.
