You Can'i Be A Hero To
A Washington Cab Driver
WA8HINOTON. Jul). 21 (Pi Taxi j these tcn-to-flftcen thousand dollar
frlvere earn their tlrw in Los Anne- men.
I' by courtesy In Manhattan by
hypnotizing you out of your loose
change by shame or wisecracks.
But here In tho nation's capital,
the cab Jockeys
re plain polite
and phllosophlo
by nature, fig
uring tips will
come only by
act of congress
and then only
after the cus
tomer has ap
pealed twice to
the supreme
court.
The Washing
ton taxi driver
is a freer man with an opinion than
the average legislator. He has views
on every subject the Inside of the
Inside but unlike the New York
cabby, he won't switch his views i dinner,
Just to please the human cargo who
Is paying the fare.
Owns His Cab
His forum is the highway, his
rostrum the front seat of his cab,
which he probably owns himself
and that makes him a small busi
nessman and therefore gives him
the right to say how the country
should be run.
Ask him to take it easy at the
wheel, and he's off:
Tm in no hurry either. Don't
worry about me hitting any pedes
trians. Can't afford to any more.
The repair costs to the cars run
too high nowadays. It's $100 now
where it used to be $18.
"Klnda new here, aren't you? I
been here most my life. It's a swell
city, but I never saw one like it
for middle-aged women getting
tanked. Darn near every night gotta
drive some ginned-up woman home.
"Had one In the car the other
night and she started in complain
ing about her husband. They all
want to tell you their life story.
This one had two kids she oughta
been home minding and here she's
been out touring the beer joints with
a bald-headed, pot-bellied buzzard
with a face like a hoptoad. He was
more romantic, she said, than her
husband all he did was bring home
his paycheck. And she kept saving,
"Well, what'd you do if you were
me?"
"I told her, "Lady, I don't know
what I'd do if I was you, but I know
what I'd do if I was your husband.
I'd just plain kick you out the house
ana down the front porch, a step
a ume.
"She shut up then, and when I
drove up to her house I was sp mad
I socked an extra $1.50 on the bill.
She didn't holler just gave me a
four-bit tip.
Slow Tippers
"Tips? You'd think with all these
high-priced people around here
they'd hand out a little money. But
you're lucky If you get a dime from
"Senators ihe.y hand me a laugh,
but Unit's about all. Once one oi
them tipped me a nickel. However,
I took another one home once
pretty good old guy, he was and he
said, 'You have to get my car home,
too, I've drunk too much to drive.
So I got a friend and we drove his
car home, and the senator slipped
me ten bucks and winked and said,
Now my wife will think I'm all right
when she sees the car's home.'
"Funny tiling about the presidents.
Most of them do get uppity. But you
take Wood row Wilson. People say
he was a cold man. But I saw him
at a theatre and walked right up
ana spoke to him. He was real pleas
ant. A fine man. '
"So was Teddy Roosevelt. I saw
him whale his two youngest boys
right on the White House lawn. Seiit
another man to fetch them in to
and they sassed him. So
Teddy came out himself with a
stick and gave it to them good right
there on the lawn. They went In
a-hopplng.
"Never saw Franklin D. Roosevelt
except when he was here wav back
in the First World war. Riglit nice
young fellow then.
"Still and all. you take presidents
generally. I don't understand it. But
with most of them soon's they get to
ne president right away they begin
to think they're a big shot."
It s hard to say just what it takes
to be a hero to a taxi driver in
Washington,
