AS TO FRANCHISES THE TIMES' criticism of local mothodH of giving away fran chises hns bci.'n prompted by a dcslro for protection of tho city ngalnst having Its vnluablo assots ex ploited and bartered away for tho boneflt of prlvato Individuals. Fran chises on tho Btreets of Coos Day cities may not be so valuable Just now but tho tlmo Is coming when they will be. Millions of money In fortunes ltavo been mado off streets of American cities through tho suc cessful offortH of frnnchlHO grabbers. Thoso millions bolong rightly to tho cities nnd should bo tised in secur ing lower tax rates and better con ditions. Coos Day should profit by tho ex porloaco of other municipalities in stead of rushing headlong Into tho eamo mistakes. Tho city of Portland, which Is pro paring to ndopt a commission form of government, is Interested In coping with tho franchise question In a man ner that will protect tho Interests of tho people ns against the franchlso grabbers. Tho Tologram, In discuss ing tho mnttur, takes tho same view of tho mnttor as does Tho Times. It nays: "As yet wo do not know what wo nro going lo got In tho lino of a com mission charter. Despite this doubt n majority of people In this city bo llovo that tho commission form of government In Portlnnd Is Inevitable and must bo realized sooner or later, and In thai belief the discussion of nnllent features of thnt form of gov ernment Is most pertinent. "Ono of tho vory Important fea tures Is tho provision which rogitlntos tho granting of public franchises. I'non this point no commission plan should bo sorlonsly considered, nnd enrtnlnlv none should bo adopted which does not leave In Mu hands of tho people nbsoluuto nuthor'ty over bo grnnttne of frnnrhlscH. The peo ple should liavo the miv. Thnt Is tho only principle or pollcv recognized at the nresont tlmo ns proper nnd pro gressive. "When n franchise Is grnuted the nubile nnrts with a property Hunt. The rkht Is conveyed In expectation of public benefit. Hut at the same time It heroines n right of profit-pro-duclng value to tho corporation that acquires it. The people's only safe guard against a measure of disap pointment In one ense nnd nbiisn In the other lies In the nubile ability to finy on what terms tho franchise sbnll he granted, "Another excellent 'nnd. In fnct. essential principle to lav down as a charter declaration Is, that the old time, half-century, or worse still, In determinate charter.ls no longer to ho considered In nny elroiimstnnces. From tho public vlowpolnt tho reason for this Is potent enough, nnd tho day has passed when tho people wero dis posed to consider the granting of franchise rights from nny other thnn tho public viewpoint. With the growth of n community the property valuo of such n right enhances, and it Is only community wisdom nnd prudence thnt In thnt vesneet tho nubile should look nfler Its own. The shnrt-torinod franchise, not to exceed 2.1 venrs duration nt the most, jsranted dlrectlv bv the people, Is tho thing we should Insist upon In nny commission ehnrter that Is submitted.' LEARNING FROM OTHER CITIES. T'tK innvor of Denver recently re turned from n tour of the prlu- elpul countries and cities of Eu rope Since his return he has been telling some of the things ho snw and learned on his trip. He found, of courso, much to In terest, and Instruct him. Ho learn ed as nil open-eyed and open-minded American tourists In Europo do, thnt many things nro done better over there than thoy nro dono In this country. Ho kept Denver always In sight, as his aim was to apply his discoveries as fur as practicable to that community, and ho reached somo very positive conclusions. Ono of those wns that tho removal of party politics from munlclpnl gov ernment wns one of the greatest needs of American cities. Another was that public utilities should he fairly troatcd undor munlclpnl regu lations as to expenditures nnd sor vlco and rates. He found thut most foreign cities are conducted on the principle thnt Individual rights must glvo way to tho public good. Euro pea nmunlclpnl governments mako laws that tho citizens and all Inter ests must observe Tho city govern ment in Europe Is a city government in reality. It determines what is best for the clthens: everything olse, even cost, Is secondary. He Baw noth ing nhrond to convlnco him that the form of city government was tho main thing. In his 'opinion form counted for less than kind. He was most Impressed with tho government of Qormnn cities, nnd in his belief tho German municipality wns uni formly satisfactory because tho Gor man people honor tliolr ofllclnls nnd in return receive honest service. Per manent tcnuro of ofllco secures train ed nnd efficient oxecutlvo officers. Tho Germans havo strict libel laws, with swift execution, which do not permit newspapers to mnkc falsa statements about public omclnls, business men or prlvato citizens. German cities havo taken corporation influences out of politics. Thoy havo moro power to do things, to experiment, nnd to work out munlclpnl development nlong In dividual lines. A GOOD POSITION.

It is ono of tho un answerably questions." Tho Indif ference of Individual Christians and tho commercialism of this city wero deplorable conditions.
