When a merchant suffers from the defalcation of a trusted em- ployee he does not mark up the price of his wares with the idea of | compelling his patrons to make good the deficit. Such a proceed- ing would spell business ruin. But the receivers of the looted street railways have improved on these established practices. They have found a new way to pay old debts and refill the plundered treasuries of the companies by saddling on the public the burden of making up their deficits through the compulsory tribute of an extra fare. By ishing transfers they will require the payment of approximately 200,000,000 additional nickels a year by passengers, In effect this will mean the imposition of a tax of $4 an- nually on every resident of the city, man, woman and child. In fact, it will mean an average additional expenditure of $7 yearly by regular users of trapsfers, To tens of thousands it will mean an extra payment of ten cents daily, or $30.50 a year. | This is more than three times the amount a citizen pays in indirect taxes for the support of the general government—three times as much as his combined payments of taxes on liquor, tobacco and imported mer-| chandise.

By Maurice Ketten, “August 6, An enforced additional carfare charge of ten cents a day means a daily tribute of nearly two pounds of sugar or half a pound of meat from the household of every passenger.

On its head are visited the sins of the manipulators who! grew rich from the funds diverted from the company treasury to their private bank accounts, The passengers who built up the roads and made possible the payment of large dividends on the original capitaliza- tion must now reconstruct them, paying double until the heaped up tickels extinguish the debts. The roads enjoy the advantage over the merchant or banker that their patrons cannot leave them. Passengers are denied relief except through such remedies as the Public Service Commission may provide.

By the old anatomiets {t wan called the Great Sympathetic, because it was imagined to distribute feelings all over the body, thereby causing the head to ache out of sympathy with the stomach when {t wee sour. Both the cells and the fibres of this system differ in numerevs pertiouianm from those of tho spinal cord and brain, and It may friefly be described as The first Avision presents a long chain of nee yous masses called ganglia, which lle on either side of the spine from the head down, Thesé gangila ate connected together by strands of their sort of nerve fibres, while the others of them pass to make connections with the spinal cord, the medulla oblongata and the brain. The second division consists of gangiia, or masses of ganglia lying behind the important ergana, such as the heart, &., which they are said to innervate.
