Tlio world ndvniices, nnd In time outgrows Tho laws that In our father's day wcro best. And nftcr us, no doubt, Borne purer scheme Will bo shaped out by wiser men than we, Mndo wiser by tho steady growth of truth. Tho tltno Is rlponnd roitcn ripe, for change. So lot It be. I hnvo no dread of what May lio called for by tho Instinct of mankind, Nor think 1 thnt God's world would fall npnrt Becauso wo tear a, parchment more or less." Selected. HEN my friend Joo Bennett gets his repenting, rnpld lire water sta tement gun in notion ho has the ruler of n South American republic issuing proclamations, benten to n frnzzlo. He is n veritable Pan- mun canal of words, meaningless words. Joe divides tho wnter sltuntlon Into three propositions: First Mnrshflold nnd North Bend might unite and buy or build a. municipal plant BUT and hero Joo fairly writhes In ngonlzod anguish when ho thinks or tho "dear people" But Marshfleld will soon havo to go In debt for1 a city hnll thero aro streets to pave tho Port Commis sion Boglo innh Is abroad someone h'ns suggested that tho county bo bonded for a million for good roads, It may be n long wn off but Joo likes to look, nhoa'd, that's tho way ho gets nhond. Soft, nlow, tromolo music, plonlo' whllo Joe Bennett weeps for tho woes of tho working man and tho tax p'nyer'. Stopl Bo you wnnt to Incur .still further liabilities. Poor Joo his heart fairly bleeds whon ho contemplates tho nwfulncss of It. Second proposition Is, after Joo has frlghtoned you with tho horrors of tho things that mny happen, glvo n 50 yenrs franchise at double pre sent rntci to Mr. Nolan or Bonieono who will give Joo Bennett $150, 000 for tho plnnt. Third proposition ltT If tho city council does not wnnt to glvo the RO year franchiSQ to n stranger give It to Joo Bennett and ho will do the good tmnmrltan net .himself. Thero, you nro. You "pays" your money and "takes" your choice, says Joe. Really, however, Joo strongly Intimates thnt the city councllnion bolng "GOOD SQUARE BUSINESS MEN, WTH LOTS OF GOOD COMMON SENSE AND NOT SWAYED BY SENSATIONAL ARTICLES" Will not hesltnto long. Thoy will glvo Mr. Nolnu tho franchise for 50 yours and let tho peoplo pay double tho present rates. Wouldn't that bo nice? Tho whole proposition Is so course nnd rldtculoiiB thnt It la dllllcult to consider It seriously. In tho first placo tho present franchise has nbout seventeen yenrs to run. Why then all this hubbub nbout n new fifty years- franchise? Sim ply because Joo Bennett wants to sell his plnnt for $150,000 nnd tho man who figures on buying snys If ho can hnvo a 50 years franchiso at double tho present rates ho will tuko It'. I should think ho would. So would nny man. In fact you would not hnvo to possess tho purchnso price. A fifty years franchiso with such rates Is worth moro than tho plant. The peoplo nro not all fools and cannot bo fooled nil the time. Tho peojlfo of Marshfleld know thnt tho present rates aro too high for tho service thoy recolvo. Then, whon they tnlk of doubling thoso rates and granting a long franchiso It is outrageous. In Coqulllo tho city owns Its own water system. It hns lower rates, better scrvlco nnd tho profits to the city pay nil tho Interest and provides a. sinking fund without ono penny of nddltlonnl tnxes. Myrtle Point also owns a city plnnt thnt Is being successfully operat ed. As I write I havo before mo the tariff rates of Lebanon, Ohio, n city nbout tho slzo of Marshfleld. The city hns owned and operated Its water works on n solf-sustalntng basis since 1S05. Tho rates for n dwolltng Iioiiho of 5 rooms or less nro 9:1.00 PER YEAR, and each nddltlonnl room Is 25 cents per year. Tho city clerk writes Tlio Times that It has proved highly satisfactory and profitable and tho city gets Its wnter free. It costs n Mnrshflold man $1S.00 per yenr for wnter scrvlco at present, nnd tho proposed now rates would make it about $30.00. Roseburg hna a privately owned wntor system nnd tho rates thoro nro only $12.00 por year. Why should Coos Bay bo compollcd to pay two nnd threo times ns much for the samo service. There nro only two questions that should, bo seriously considered by tho wnter cnmmltteo mil tho city councils. Tho first Is tho intchnso of tho present plnnt If It wilt be sold nt n fnlr nnd equitable prlco or tho liirttallatlon of n now syitm. Tho second Is to ncqulro adequate water supply rights to bo hold for futuro uso nnd then let Mr. Bennett soil his plnnt or retain It, but compel him or nnyono who purchases It to furnish pure, hcnlthful water in sufllclcnt qunntltlea to nil parts of tho city and with n prossuro strong enough In the business section to bo ndequnto flro protection to proporty. Tho water company 'now holds n franchise for about seventeen yenrs. Tllero Is no renson or need for extending It except ns n graft for tho fran chlso grabbers nnd n hold up of the peoplo. If tho owners of tho wnter system will not furnish ndequnto scrvlco under tholr prosont franchise, whnt can bo expected of thorn under n now franchiso? Joe tries to portray tho hot horrors of holl ns my portion If I bollovo tho Oregon Stnto Board of Health told tho truth nbout tho rottenness of the wnter nnd then ndvocnto purchnsing tho plant. That's just tho renson tho city should own It, becnuso ns A. S. Huey snys, "tho vltnl necessity of pure wntor to a community, Is sucltthnt It should bo owned by tho peo plo." Tho wntor plant should be Improved with a filtration system, so that It would not contnln tho various impurities thnt tho Oregon Stnto Board of Honlth found therein. If tho city does not buy It, Joo Bonnott or nnyono who purchnses It on tho present franchise should bo compollod to mnko the necessnry Improvements thnt will protect tho lives nnd prop orty of tho peoplo of this community n protection for which thoy nro now paying but which thoy do not receive Joo snys ho Is not losing nny sleep over tho mntter nnd I boo no occa sion for tho city council to worry. Tho present franchiso Is In forco nnd effect for nbout sovnnteen yenrs longor and undor Its operation tho peo plo nro entitled to puro wnter nnd plenty of It, nnd It la tho duty of tho city council to boo thnt thoy got ltwlthout nny further extonslon of franchises. Thoro Is no reason or excuso for tho city furnishing n fran chiso to bo used ns security to float bonds. It theso peoplo hnvo tho neces snry money thoy do not requlro n franchiso for this purpose If thoy hnvon't tho monoy nnd the city must furnish security In tho form of a franchiso thon tho city should borrow tho monoy itsolf nnd pocket tho profits instead of handing It ovor to Mr. Nolnn or Mr. Bennett. Mr. Bennett's blessings nro beautiful but a 50 years water franchiso U too high a prlco to pay for his "God bless you."
