HIE TIMES has so frequently and forcefully stated its belief in tho principle of tho city's ownership and control of ,n waterfront rail- way on Coos Bay that reiteration seems "unnecessary. With tho costly experience of so many American, cities standing as n warning, Coos Bay should not repeat tho error and regrets of other municipal ities. Tho Times opposed, thb Blako franchise when Qvory consideration, personal, material nnd BolnBh, dictated that this paper should support it. It opposed It on tho high ground of tho common good nnd It contends now that the city has escaped from ono private franchise it should not grant another. J. N. Teal, a prominent Portland attorney, who cannot bo accused of being cither a dreamer, theorist or socialist, told tho business men of Mnrshflold a few woks ago at n meeting in the Chamber of Commerce, that under no conditions should they surrender control of tho Coos Bay waterfront to prlvnto parties or corporations. Ho then told how It cost J. J. Hill' a million dollars to sccuro ontranco to the waterfront and tor- minus in Portland. Now comes tho Portland Orogonlan, which Is as frco from taint of socialism or municipal ownership microbes as Mr. Teal, and it tolls how dcsplto Intorstato Commorco commission nnd laws nnd "common user" clniiBcs tho Mllwaukco road with Kb great trnns-contlnontnl systom is bolng shut out of Portland. The mnttcr is told In nn entirely imper sonal and Impnrtlal manner. It Is merely given nB part of tho news of the day and tho hnro facts aro printed. Here is tho artlclo nB it appeared on tho first pago of tho Orcgonlnn In Its issuo of Wednesday, July 12, head lines nnd nil: "MILWAUKEE ROAD BARRED FROM CITY' Corporal ton Roes'iit Xlko egler Ordinance. Measure Blocking Railroad From Obtaining Waterfront Property, Plan to Enter Abandoned. "Entrnnco to Portlnnd by the Chicago Milwaukee &. St. Pnul, which has heon undor contomplntlon, Is effectively barred through tho adoption by tho pcoplo of this city Inst Juno of whnt Is known ns tho Zloglor ordlnnnco. This was nnnounccd unofficially by D. O. Llvoly, a momhor of tho Chnrtor Revision Commission, nt n moot ing of tho Commission last night. "An official of tho Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul only todny told mo," snld Mr. Llvoly, when tho subject of strcot vncntlons wnB pro posed for tho consideration of tho Commslslon, "thnt so long ns tho so-cnllcd Zleglor ordlnnnco romnlned on tho stntuto books of Port lnnd It would bo Impossible as well ns Imprnctlcablo.'for his com pany to Book tho ontranco to this city It hnd heon coutompl.ntlng for somo tlmo. The effect of tho Klcglcr mcnsnro Is to deprivo any , corporation entering tho city from obtaining nny waterfront prop erty. Without It, a transcontinental road could not bo' Induced to ontor Portlnnd or nny othor city." Mr. Llvoly wns naked his authority for tho statement, but declined to dlvulgo tho name of tho rnllrond official, explaining thnt ho wns not nt liberty nt this tlmo to mnko tho announcement. Tho Zlcglor ordlnnnco wns adopted by popular voto, of tho elect ors of this city nnd can only he nmonded or ropcnled by tho snmo course. This menns thnt unlcsB n apodal election Is called by tho city authorities, tho ordlnnnco ennnot bo submitted for repeal or cor rection by tho pcoplo boforo tho rogulnr biennial city election in Juno, 1914." Now this, ordlnnnco mny bo ono not permitting a railway to acquire ownership of waterfront which would bo proper If applied to nil, but whon it comes nftor othor roads havo secured proporty It Is not a squaro deal for tho Milwaukee Tho tlmo to stop all this Is right at tho begin ning. If tho Mllwnukco road woro assured uso of tho watorfront on tho snmo terms ns other roads It would bo glnd of tho opportunity, but whon It is shut out nftor tho othor roads hnvo secured entrnnco It is clearly unfair. It is a enso of "locking tho bnru nftor tho horse hns heon stolon." This ordlnnnco thnt bars out n great transcontinental rond from Portland wns submitted to n voto of tho, pcoplo just ns tho Rlnko .fran chise wns. It proves how careful tho peoplo should bo In guarding their rights and how plnuslblo franchise seokors can mnko tholr nrgumonts so that thoy can fool tho pcoplo to tholr own undoing. If tho peoplo rotnl'n tho ownership nnd control of tholr watorfront It would ho Im possible to shut out other roads as all would bo given an equal oppor tunity and a squaro deal. Franchise seekers will tell tho peoplo thoro is no need to worry about excluslvo rights. They will toll you that tho Interstate Commorco law nnd the "common user" clauso Is sufficient protection. How nbout Portlnnd? Tho Milwaukee rond has high priced nttornoys. Thoy know nbout tho Intorstato Commorco law and "common user" clauses, but thoro was ati ordlnanco that shut them out. Tho snmo experience lias heon encountered In othor hnrbor cities. Why shut our eyes to simple tiuths. Why delude ourselves with hopes that nro belled by prac tical exporlonce. Tho Times hns It from good nttornoys that a fran chise now boforo tho council has a common user clause that Ib not worth tho Ink with which It wns transcribed to pnpor.' It Is thore, of course, for n purpose. Its purpose Is to befuddle and befool tho peoplo into giving awny whnt thoy should hold fnst with nn over tightening grip. What applies to tho railway franchise applies nlso to nil otl'ier fran chises although tho railway and water franchises nro nlost Important. there is not n city In America hut has deep reason to deplore tho Inconsiderate generosity of Its early administrations In giving awny tho cream of tho publlc-utlllty-rlghts, Inspired as thoy undoubtedly were with tho hope- that such gifts would aid materially In tho up-bulldlng of tho pjneo: All have been profoundly disappointed! tholr faith and good will and public spirit have been discredited and the qdfts thoy made in tho popular Interests hnvo been used to strnnglo and stultify tho hope and prldo which actuated them. . The very people who seek these advantages" and claim them as expe dients In tho progressive trend of tho city, are tho first to oxnet tho grossest tribute from then; once they nr'6 worked out and applied; tho cinch nlways comes direct from the beneficiary, and- tho -people aro made to realize their stupld'ltyj sooner or later, and mostly sooner. If the public right's are worth so inuch to these corp6rnt'lons they must certainly be worth considerable to thoso whose heritage tb'ey are. Let us play the g'iCme with the cards face up. Deal squarely with the corporations and in turn make them deal squarely w'fth the' people.
