HOSE who expected rioting to fol- low the abolition of transfers by tween Metropolitan and Belt Line cars mistook the temper of the pub lic. It bas shown itself law-abiding under strong provocation. remedy for the double-fare inypos tion is not in violence, and it is creditable to the intelligence of the passengers that they limited their re- sentment to angry words. As a matter of fact the plain peo ple retain a wholesome respect for legal authority. They have not been educated to the point or regarding the main purpose of a law to be its evasion, They do not pay $50. 000 fees to lawyers to secure the setting aside of court orders. They do not retain paid lobbyists to de- feat legislation. The fttitude of the buncoed passengers of the city trac- tion lines is in gratifying contrast to that of the men who have grown rich by exploiting these properties. If they had obeyed the law as the passengers are obeying it there would be no occasion for the inconven- ience, discomfort and expense to which the travelling public is now subjected, There would be no bankrupt roads and no deficits to be made up. : ; The public is exhibiting an exemplary patience under trying condi- tions and in the face of exasperating obstacles. It is now a party to Proceedings novel én corporation history in New York, the operation of the car lines by the courts. To them alone it must look for the un- tangling of the snarl, the commission appointed to represent the people in their relations with the companies having confessed its inability to take present action for relief. The submissive attitude of the people is all the more commendable because it is penalized for offenses not its own, It had no part in bringing about the bankrupicy of ihe roads which it, on the contrary, made prosper- ous. It had no share in the ill-gotten gains of those who wrecked them. It is now called on to pay an extor- tionate fare with no immediate pros- pect of relief. Some time must elapse before H the effect of the abolition of trans- fers on the roads’ receipts can be determined. * The half empty cars on the Belt Line on the day follow- ing the enforcement of the order 4 make its wisdom as a business pol- i icy doubtful. But the fact will not escape notice that in refusing transfers the roads have crowned their record of corporation corruption and of security swindling by the violation | of a sacred moral obligation, The | grant of the transfer privilege car- ried with it an implied promise that } the comp2nies would continue te transport passengers for long distances for a single fare.
