One of the most perplexing ques tions the voters will bo called upon to 4cMe at too city election Monday Is th Initiative measure entitled "an act defining a common transportation ter minal within 1000 feet of harbor lines," which appears on the ballot as No. lit and 12. This measure has been prepared by J. B. Ziegler. a resident of the Hast tilde, who has won considerable noto riety In connection with his tight against the railroad and other com panies controlling- property along the waterfront on both sides of the river. The purposes of the measure are set forth in the ballot title as follows: -An act denning a common transporta tion, terminal within 1000 feet of harbor lines; subjecting city's property and rights therein to access and nffl by common carriers on equal terms; making public dock warehouses sub ject to lease; requiring city officials Co formulate a plan for Inter connection of all terminal units; requiring all franchises and improvements submitted to said officials to conform to said plan: requiring four-fifths vote of Council to pass measures not con forming therewith, and providing auto, matte referendum in such case." Meaosttlv Pveveatiea Aim. It is intended to set apart all ter ritory within 1000 feet of the water front and make It subject to nse by all common carriers alike, thus pre venting monopoly. The purpose of the act Is expressed to be to provide for "Interchange of traffic between all carriers, with the greatest facility and economy ami the least obstruction in convenience and cost possible." In short it enforces upon the city the administration of the public rights of way for public trafflo Instead of turn ing them over by franchises and dives titures to the private terminals to be used to the exluslon of competitors. Portland's position relative to natural highways and gateways of traffic Is said to be such as to make her inde pendent of any private carriers. The true policy It Is said Is to develop the city's terminal system so as to In vite all carriers and facilitate trans eMpment. -That,- said J. B. Zlegler. author of the measure, -will establish Portland as a commercial port and the railroads will be glad to coma on terms of free Interchange- -This city haa been neglected by both the Harriman and Hill systems which have made thla almost a closed port while they gave preferences to Pan Francisco and Puget found, where ther bad to compete for the free trade. "All great ports are free ports; and talcs great pains to provide eoonomlcal transshipment. Blanket Graata to Be Prohibited. "The kind of thing that will be pro hibited by this act. la a franchise like the blanket franchise covering the east approaches to the new ' Harriman bridge. In which the common use of streets Is killed by a special clause: an improvement like the East Side abutment of the Broadway bridge, which Is a solid one reaching clear down to the O.-W. R- N. Co.'s right of way. and should have been a viaduct, permitting the construction of other tracka beneath when needed, and the laying of private tracks on North Front street so as to embarrass the connections of the publlo docks. The most aerlous opposition to the measure will be on account of Its de claring all the waterfront subject and entitled to Interconnection. That will Interfere with any plans looking to the monopoly of traffic connections. It would prevent a altuation like that permitting the ownera of docksite No. 1 to demand an extra price for their property on the grounds that aa was testtaed to in the condemnation suit there Is but little wharf property like this In the city, accessible to the tracks of both the terminal systems.' "The act calls for no bonds or ap propriations, but that connectlona can all be provided for on the clty'a public .properties administered under the charter pollc and common use pro visions." ' Y. M.
