N": January a.great double Automobile Show, held simul- taneously in the New Grand Central Palace aud in Madison Square Gatden, will give this city its annual chance to note ‘the progress of American automobile industry. Never have automobiles in this country been cheaper. Never | have they been better made. Never have they been so widely and | generally owned by private individuals and business corporations. Why not show what the automohile can do for the public? The Evening World suggests to those in charge of ‘the coming | exhibition that they could devete a part of their space to no better | or more popular end than ‘that of ehowing in concrete form what the taxicab, regulated and up to date, is actually at this moment giving other cities in the way of cheap, eafe, comfortable service to millions of people who never dream of regarding the taxicnb as a luxury. This newspaper has pointed out again and again that not only are New York taxicab charges five and six times as high ‘as those of other capitals, but our cabs themselves are inferior in safety, comfort and convenience. Let the Automobile Show bring to New York two or threo typical taxicabs taken from the thousands that roll through tho streets of London and Berlin. Let the New York public see with its own eyes the sort of taxi- cab—regulated, inspected, rigidly kept up to standard by city authority—that is serving millions to-day at sixteen cents a mile. Let New York see a taxicab solidly built, smooth running, noise- lozs—at sixteen cents per mile! Let New York see a taxicab with specified wheel-base and mounting allowing it to turn around in a narrow street without backing—at sixteen cents per mile! Let New York sce @ four-seat taxicab with the upholstery, fit- tings and exterior neatness and finish of a well-kept private car—at sixteen cents per mile! Let New York see a taxicab fitted not only with speaking tube | but also with a shutter in the glase behind the chauffeurs head to | make communication easy and safe—at sixteen cents per mile! Let New York see « taxicab provided with foot warmers, end required by law to carry in cold weather a rug for the knees of tho | passenger—at sixteen cents per mile! % Let New York see s taxicab bearing ¢ taximeter so adjusted, inspected, checked and controlled that the pessenger may ride for hours with perfect confidence in the justness of the charge—at sixteen cents per mile! We may never quite touch these low rates. But does anybody believe we cannot make such taxicabs in America—and as cheaply as they. can be made abroad? Already European automobile manu- facturers are fearing the competition of our care on their own ground. Nearly a year ago, in denouncing ‘the taxicab charge of $1 a mile as “preposterous” when “the charge for the eame distance in London is sixteen centa,” the Fifth Avenue Commiesion declared that “in London the original cost of building texicabs is not much less than here.” Tet the American public see for itself. Mayor Gaynor, high city officials and several of the Aldermen -have openly declared themselves convinced that the present New York taxicab, with its lax standards end scandalous charges, must go. It is not to be believed that the Aldermen who will frame the | new ordinances will dare deliberately to range themselves on the side of the few taxicab magnates and graft-seeking hotel proprietors | * who are the only people in New York desirous of seeing the taxicab | maintained as a high-priced luxury for the few. | Intelligent rules, regulation and inspection for taxicabs will open a new ers of popular cab service in New York. Qnce these rules are established, a fortune awaits the automobile man or men with foresight and patience enough to introduce to this great city a convenience it hes never yet had—cheap, safe, up-to-date cabs for everybody to ride in. Now is the critical moment. convinced. If the Automobile Show wants to make a big popular hit and at the same time perform a public service, let it get ready an Object-Lesson in Taxicabs. ——————E EVACUATION DAY. November 25, 1783, the British troons evacuated New York, after having been in possession of the city since September 15, 1776, when Lord Howe’s army occupied it following the Battle of Long Island. During those seven years New York was a refuge of Loyalists, its City Hall, churches and public butidings turned into prisons for American soldiers. Fire and plunder exhausted its wealth, destroyed its business and drove away its people. It began its struggle back to Ife with a population of hardly more than 10,000, ‘Letters From the People| sig a aliases ahaha Raia at eee | . For P. 0.

But $5 meant Httle to the new-rich Californians. | Through Nebraska ran the triple trail. And, from time to time, some tied emigrant or some traveller lured by the beauty of the land would stop there and butid his home. But for a long time these few passersby and a hand- ful of fur traders, &c., made up all of Nebraska's white population. Growth was slow and late in beginning. Up to 184 there was no forecast of the State's future prosperity and greatness. \ ‘The Spaniards and the French explored Nebraska in early Gays, but left (tt unsettled. Then, in 1907, Manuel do Lisa, manager of a St. Louls fur-trading company, came there and buflt a trading post near Council Bluff. He is «supposed to have been Nebraska's first white settler. The future State was at that time part of the Louisiana Purchage. It was named from the Nebraska River (the Platte), which means in an Indian dialect “Shallow Water.” Tie planting of trees in Cited Places later gave Nebraska the nickname of “The Tree Planter In 1812 it was, part of Missouri Territory. In 1819 it was part of Arkansas and then of Michigan. There was no sort of organization and there was almost no white population until it was made a separate Territory in 184. Then came the first real tide of immigration. And the “Homestead Act” atill further welled the numbers of newcomers. There were all sorts of hindrances, Territorial quarrels and Indian wars caused the usual frontier troubles. The pro and anti-slavery factions In Cen- gress fought fiercely for Nebraska's possession, And the Civil War still further checked progress. Sections of land were cut away from Nebraska's borders and were added to the Dakotas, There were also violent disputes as to which of several cities should be chosen as the capital, In 180 the question of statehood came up. The Nebraska people themselves rejected the idea. When at last, in 1867, Nebraska applied for admission as a State, and when Con- gress assented to the request, President Johneo vetoed the statehood Dill. Congress passed th bill over his veto, and Nebraska became a State. From that time all was reasonably clear sailing. Irrigation made the desert sections of the State to “blossom like the rose.” Agriculture and manufac- ae flourished. The fertile valleys and provinces spelled widespread prosper- | tty.
