For flagrant offenders make it the full penalty of $100 fine or ten days in jail. The Evening World has repeatedly called attention to the meek | way in which New Yorkers lie down and let themselves be run over by the all‘conquering auto. As we said recently, “a record of 1,131 street accidents caused by motor vehicles wince Jan. 1 ought to open the eves of New York to! the fact that ite present mad worship of the automobile is a cult | dark with human sacrifice.” Here’a a good beginning.

HOW IT WORKS. ‘YBODY who has any doubt as to how the public and the independent taxicab drivers feel toward the new taxicab ordinance which The Evening World fought tirelessly to put inte operation should note the convincing remarks of a taxi chauffeur to a disinterested newspaper which has taken no strenuous part in the movement for cheap taxicabs. ‘\ After explaining how the cheaper rates attract business, how “the new public stands give the taxi a chance to pick up fares “going and coming beck,” thus cutting down expences by saving long empty runs, this cheaffeur declared: Our customers are astonished et the cheapness of taxicabs now. Why, ¢o-day 1 got a fare and carried him about three-quarters of « mile. The charge was forty cents. tHe was so surprised that he handed me seventy-five cents and would take nochange. Customers tay ¢o me, “Weill, we are willing that you should get the money if it is for yourself, but we are not going to pay the companies big * prices.’ This chauffeur was inteHigent and presumably careful. he explained it, whereas many of the employees of the big taxicab couspanies are men sent by politicians to be supplied with jobs, “the he is not willing to trust his car to a man whom he does not know “as a careful, honest driver.” The man’s cab was neat and clean. Inside was a vase with a little bunch of flowers. This taxicab set out to attract business by obeying the lew and keeping on good terms with the public. It of- fered to eerve the WHOLE public at thc legal reduced rates, lawfully, | » with comfort and safety. And the public had responded. The income of this taxicab for "the preceding twenty-four hours had been $20. The driver was con- fident that an extra good day would boost its earnings as high as $50. That's the way The Evening World's taxicab ordinance is working.

It is perfectly true, a8 one correspondent maintains, that many young women take the _. proffered seat without a look or word of thanks, treating the man who offers it as if he were a log of wood that had fortunately rolled “out of the way. Young women say that under these circumatances they fear to aay “thank you” because they think the man will try to flirt. Men tay that they will not give up their seat becanse the chances are the ‘young woman will scorn to acknowledge it. Both are wrong. One argues from vanity, the other from self- ishness.. Kach should give the other the benefit of the doubt. Tet the man give up his seat. Let the girl risk a thank you.
