But as an anti-tipping measure it has started « cyclone of disapproval. Yet an attempt to amend it has failed. The Jegisiature “stands pat,” and hereafter in Wisconsin any man who gives a “tip” or takes one will be subject to severe penalty Religious freedom in Russia makes strong appeal to the world’s bumanitarians, but freedom from the tipping practice in Wisconsin touches the American heart more tenderly still. It is the little impositions and injustices from which we suffer most. The magna charta wasa mighty step toward human liberty, but it still left us slaves to the hotel waiter and the Pullman porter If the waiter does not get the sum he experts he can make it so @imagreeable that the unfortunate guest will give it the pext Ume fm self-defense. In many Europ can cities the waiters get no wages, but are required to pay something for the privilege of waiting on the guests, from whom he extracts his pay. In this country it in Mwely that the hotels get their waiters cheaper beeause of the tips, @, im other words, the guest must pay for his meals at such rate as Will include rent, service, etc, and in addition must help in this way to pay the wages of the waiter, but to the landlord. The system has driven the waiters more and more into the atti- tude of sturdy beggars or bighw aymen, and It ts becoming mere and More an intolerable nuisance to the guests The “tip” is no longer regarded a» a gratuity. It is demanded as a right, and few waiters take the trouble to thank the giver. If he does not give at all he ‘will soon be sorry. ‘Wisconsin has made a great advance in buman rights hoping that the legisiators of other states may thralldom of the waiters and make the freedom versal!
