CITY OFFICIAL
FRANCHISES AND Franchises that are nowadays granted to electric
SAVING CLAUSES lines and other roads when they apply for the right
to enter towns are not as lavish as they once were. The time has past when
the people of cities and of states give away all their rights for the sake of a
railroad and turn down all of the opportunities that future generations might
have for the benefit of two lines of steel. ;:
In franchises that are now submitted to the various city councils, the
people always insist upon saving clauses that protect their fights and inter
ests and that safeguard to posterity all of the rights that may be needed to keep
pace with the growth of the opportunity.
In the case of the Portland Dock commission against the Pacific Milling
& Elevator company, this had not been done. The people there had no rights
ihat the company was bound to respect. The laws of the state gave the land
on the river frontage to the riparian owners and the dock commission was
.powerless to erect the platform on the water that had been planned and that
the people had authorized, it to construct.
At the same time, the people have generally given those roaefs all of the
concessions that are needed in order to enable them to build their lines
through the city or the state at the least possible cost and to increase the trans
portation facilities at the minimum amount of expense.
It is wise in the city council of any city to see that the interests of the
people are protected to the fullest extent and that the corporation is given no
exclusive rights that cannot later be taken from them by the voice of the
people or that cannot allow the people to do those things that they determine
are for the best interests of the communit5'.
It is wise, too, that the people and the city council insist that in all fran
chises that are given the common user clause be injected and that all railroads
hereafter that desire to enter the city through any of its streets and thorough
fares be subjected to the necessity of allowing other and competing lines to
.ise their trackage. In all cities whose council have the interests of the peo
ple foremost in mind and whose growth is such that the necessity for a line
does not blind the people to their future prosperity, these saving causes are
always added. They protect the people frqm the encroachments of the road
and enable their representatives to protect the common interests whenever
problems of administration are presented.
At the same time, the people do not generally throw in the way of the rail
roads such obstacles that would prevent the construction of lines or that would
tard the growth of the city and hinder the development of the community.
The railroads are always an advantage to the communities and districts that
they penetrate. They develope the resources, encourage the business, increase
the population and generally bring with them an era of prosperity that no
other source of communication can bring.
It is to the interest of the people, therefore, that they insist that the lines
penetrate their particular sections of the country and that everything be done
that can be done to induce those lines to penetrate undeveloped sections ofc
the state.
It is necessary to the people themselves that this be done. It is for their
own interests. No minor considerations should influence them to throw
obstacles in the way of a road that intends to enter any given section of the
country and nothing should be done that would discourage these lines from
doingall that their many resources enable them to do for the development
Much Talked of American
Hustle Is Only False Haste
By Mrs. E. ALEC TWEEDIE, English Writer
I DO not find any particular rush in America. There are slow people
and. busy people in every land. We generally find time to do exactly
what we want to do in this world, and we all find excuses readily
enough to leave undone all those little things which irk us.
. AMERICANS ARE ALWAYS TALKING OF HUSTLE AND RUSH.
IF THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA WERE NOT SLOW BY NATURE AND
SLOWER BY HABIT THEY WOULD NOT WAIT FOR HOURS AT BAR
BER SHOPS TO BE SHAVED AND LOLL ABOUT ON SOFAS DURING
THE PROCESS. v '
Men would not waste precious moments waiting to have their toots
blacked or sit in rows and rows and rows at all hours of the day and
night in hotel lounges. The WOMEN AEE JUST AS SLOW AND
WASTEFUL OF TIME over manicure, hair drill, face massage, etc.
One can be busy running round a steamer's deck; but that is only A
FETISH OF ENERGY.
Americans are also inclined to be UNPUNCTUAL and in their un
punctnality WASTE MANY PRECIOUS MOMENTS DAILY. Mo
ments are like pence they become of inestimable value when they are
collected together:

of that section of the state that they penetrate.
It is wise, however, for the people to do everything on their side in the
way of inserting saving clauses that would safeguard future interests and that
would protect the posterity that has to stand for franchises when they are
given over a long term of years. "
There is another feature of this franchise matter that has occurred to us
and that is the term of years for which they are usually given. In some cities,
the corporations have managed to get rights and privileges that are exclusive
and that extend over a period of years that make the citizens almost helpless
to correct mistakes that may have been made. " ' -
In cases of this kind, city councils should consider the applications of the
corporations in a dispassionate frame of mind. They should feel that the
company that spends so many thousands of dollars for the development of the
city and the state has some rights but they should not, at the same time, ignore
the rights of the people that are affected by the passing of that line through
the town.
Progressive ideas must permeate all discussions of this kind. Because
this particular road has not entered the town before, is no reason why the
people should oppose it or the council impose harsh and unbearable terms
upon it. At the same time, because it wants to spend thousands of dollars
here is no reason that sweeping concessions should be made and that the cor
poration should get everything that it wants and no protection gained for
the future. ' : .
In matters of this kind, we must be careful and reasonable both to our
selves and to the corporations.

DISASTERS ON The recent storms on the Great Lakes have again
SEA AND LAKES called attention to the fact that human life is like a
wisp when the elements descend on the great waters and crush the greatest
ships like straw. Though the best marine brains that the country has have
been at work since the Titanic disaster of more than a year ago, the ships of
today are only slightly better than they were when the greyhound of the
ocean went down. ' ' -
The sea going vessels that we have built since that time have been some
what improved against the fire dangefand the equipment that they have
installed .has once or twice met the severe test of an actual fire. In this,, we
probably have advanced during the year. The companies are also equipping
their boats with many more and larger life-saving devices and have installed
upon them a larger number of life boats than ships formerly carried on their
transatlantic voyages. '
But today we are as far from the solution of the problem of saving life
at sea as ever we were, and the voyages across the waters are as much fraught
with the perils of the deep as they were in the days when Columbus started
out on his trip to prove that the world was and is round.
There are lives lost on the Great Lakes almost every year. Every win
ter brings with it the tales of disaster and death. The elements crash on the
shores of those waters, the biggest of the vessels of the lakes and the heaviest
freighters are unable to stand the strain. The tales of the lakes are written
in wrecks of vessels and the unnumbered dead.
The responsibilities for these deaths may be in part due to the shipping
companies. It often happens that the officials of those concerns, anxious to
get the last load of freight through before the winter months set in, send; the
boats out on the trip when the chances are 10 to one against them. Such
conditions have been reported from time to time and may be responsible for
some of the deaths that have added to the total list of the storm's fatalities.
If such is the case, the people should, by federal or state legislation, pre
vent a recurrence of such a calamity. If men are to blame for such a list of
wrecks and dead, they should be held accountable. It seems that there is
some solution to the mystery that surrounds the annual toll on the Great
Lakes and that that solution should be found. . '

credit will be greatly improved.

And for Eczema In All Forms, Dan

Buy a 25c Bottle Today and Prove It.
Ai-yi! Stop that violent scratching!
There is nothing- known that will stop
itching like ZBMO. One application
stops it instantly, whether the itching
is on the scalp or on any other part
of the body.
The First Application of ZEMO Will Stop
Scalp ltcliiiig Instantly. It Is Guaranteed.
Dandruff is nothing but scalp eczema,
and that's why ZiSMO stops dandruff ab
solutely. For the terrible raw, fiery eczema
that drives you wild, keeps you awake
nearly all night for rash, prickly
heat and all inflamed, reddened skin
on babies or grown-ups, for itching
piles, salt rheum, for rawness after
shaving, for any and all sores, ZBMO
is a revelation.
ZEMO is not a greasy ointment or
paste, but a clean, antiseptic- solution
applied to the skin. Try a bottle to
day end your torture.
"ZEMO will cure any case of eczema
if used according to directions." Dr.
