the Press Publishing Compaay, No. 2 to @ Park Row, New York at the Post-Office at New York as Gecond-Class Mail Matter, The (OFLYPAPER CATCHES FLIES. papers, whose season for business will soon begin. It is due either that the traction trinity of New York has not sooner awakéned to the value of the soft spoken words to the public. P, Shonts, the new President of the Inherborough-Metropolitan Company, are the first fruits of this most intelligent policy. He promises a seat for every passenger and a better ar service, side doors to the subway cars, which will facilitate their loading and unloading, a speedier service, longer and more frequent trains and a‘teal attempt to give the public value for their’ nickel. Of course, Mr. Shonts Is only a hired man. Mr. Ryan and Mr. Belmont, who employed him, can at any time discharge him. Not even © the stockholders of their own roads can discharge them, because they ‘ have a voting’ trust which enablés them to continue in control with- |= out owning a share of stock. This makes the fulfilment of Mr. Shonts’s Promises dependent upon their willingness, but undoubtedly Mr. Shonts consulted them beforehand and either he or the public convinced them of the wisdom for a policy of outward decency. _ The most remarkable feature of the traction situation in the city is Not the. stock watering, the capitalizaton of franchises and the enormous Wall street profits, but the failure of the traction trinity to recognize i that better service pays more profits than bad service. Every saloon- keeper knows that the money in his business does not come from sel! ‘ing to drunken men, but to sober men, and that to allow disorder and discomfort in his place drives sway profitable customers. The bad interurban transportation service in New York has driven tens of thou- sands of customers to New Jersey and Long Island and Westchester suburbs. The steam raflroads and the ferries get the fares which the traction trinity might add to their profits. : 4 Every passenger on the Subway or Elevated pays three cents Profit on his ride. On the surface roads the profits are half of every ' Miickelfare. A better service will greatly increase the traflic and add millions of dollars to the annual profits. By - Inthe long-run there is more money to be made out of a railroad ©. by giving good service to the public and operating the road to its most Produbtivé Capacity than by gambling in its stocks. The present low . tickercquotations of the Inter-Met. stocks and bonds are due to the gen- eral belief, on the part of both the investing and the speculating pubtic that ig isainsafe to have anything to do with them.
