Low Fares Will% Not

for Long. *
The taxi war is on again.
This morning every cab com-
pany in the city will be carrying
passengers at 25 cents a load with
no charge for extras, anywhere in
nn Arbor.
The decision was made last
night at an owners' meeting pre-
cipitated by the sudden rate-cut-
ting move of Frenchy LeBeau's
Arcade Cab Co. Working under
cover, Frenchy and his partners
circularized the fraternities, soror
ities and dormitories yesterday
afternoon, intending to introd.uce
the slash to 25 cents as a complete
surprise.
Decide on "E ezeout."
The owners got wind of the move
almost at once, however, td after
giving the former wildcat a. chance
to rescind,, which--he -refused, de-
cided on a "freezeout"
-Th former rates, in effect fo
most of this semester, were 35 cents
for the first passenger, and 10 cents
each for extras, After they bring
Frenchy to subniission, the opera-
tors intend to return to a more rea-
sonable rate than before-35 cents
for one passenger, 50 for two to five,
and 10 centsfor extrass
At the "war" rate, all cabs will
be running at a loss, so there can
be no hope of prices staying that
low permanently, the owners ex-
plained last night.
Meters Favored.
The storm broke almost at an
mient's notice last'night, but timic
.was found at the meeting to discuss
a permanent basis of operation. A
majority was in favor of meters,
but until the rest can be brought
to unanimity, the question will rest.
Edward J. McCormick, student
-ouncil president, who attended the
meeting, was of the opinion that
meters are the only reliable perma-
nent system, if a reasonable charge
can be asured. They would assure
the owners of a fair revenue, elimi-
nate unreliable independents, and
prevent indiscriminately high rates
for students, he said.
The Ann Arbor Common council
is expected to consider the taxi or-
dinance, after long deliberation, at
its regular meeting next Monday
night.

OPERA FR MARC
Robin Hood' Will Be Presented
by Combination of Drama,
Music Societies.
DeKoven's popular light opera,
"Robin Hood," has been chosen for
the operatic production being spon-
sored by the newly formed comn-
bination of campus dramatic and
musical societies. This show, based
on the story of the well known le-
gendary hero, besides containing
the best wit of the period, lends
itself easily to interesting staging
effects, it was brought out. ALso
the music of DeKoven's work con-
tains a number of infectious melo-
dies which are still in favor.

NICHOL ANNOUNCES NEW SYSTEM
OF TRYOUTS FOR MICHIGAN DAILY

"
A new system of tryouts will be
used in connection with the edi-
torial staff of The Daily, it was
announced yesterday by David M.
Nichol, '32, news editor, who is in
charge of this work. The plan seeks
to provide the first-year me4i with
more actual reportorial work than
has been the practice in previous
years.
No attempt will be made to divide
the freshmen into groups as has
been the practice, Nichol said, and
to put them through an extended
course in newspaper training. Only
three general meetings will be held.
They will cover the essentials of
newspaper style, of reporting, and
of the mechanical details in con-
nection with proof-reading and
similar work.
The first call for freshmen try-
outs will be issued for Tuesday,
nite work in connection ith the
night staffs once a week, and will
begin their actual experience im-
mediately after reporting for try-
outs.
At the end of one seiQester they;
will be appointed as reporters on
the staff. They will be the first
reporters in the new University
Press building which is rapidly
nearing completion and which will
be occupied for the first time by
The Summer Daily, during the next
session.
Night editors are appointed front'
the sophomore reporters on a com-
petitive basis at the end of the
second year and from them are
chosen the four senior editors for
the following year. ,
Definite tryout dates have not yet
been announced for the business
