OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF PORTLAND
?
? f THE DRAW-B RIDGES ONCE AGAIN. T
HE JOURNAL recently called attention .to nn
-'necessary inconvenienIuflered by the "public
' throngh keeping open the draws of the-various
bridges' which span the river. There was an immediate
.:, response from the peop!e9f the east aide who were the
; .chrfaulferm-on-these-lipsho4-methodkOne-f
the letter -received is so temperate in tone, and states
- '-- the 'case" so well- that It ts herewith reproduced.
rVxPoftUnd, Fb. A J90S. To the Editor of The Journal
'.? 4- Permit me, as a citizen of Portland, to thank you for
r, rTiayinjr-takeTr rpthe-bridje-qiiesriori. The abuse-of the
' open draw, as it exists in this city, would be tolerated
; in no other city in the,United StateaTBut it is not to
; the government, but to ourselves that We must .look for
. V its correction.' . ''The regulation of this - port and the
''- bridge therein is the. business of the local authorities.
' - Vntil interstate commerce is obstructed, not in the im
agination of the river men, but in fact, the. go vern,ment
; has nothing to do with it. It is useless to expect the
authorities at Washington to act, nntil the matter cpm$s
e forj-.th era In 710m? (soch- form as that : they' have au
' -thority to act A bridge is hot an obstruction,' simply
' ; because the captain of a river steamer finds the draw
l?sed.Vheri. he can -fifstrsightrthe: bridge through his
field glasses, nor yet should the steamer be compelled to
. . come to-a halt, or to wait two or. three minutes while a
more important traffic '' is accommodated. - Though fre.
'.. quent opening and closing may be necessary -during
x- busy hours,: the keeping , of ft bridge open more Jthan
three" minutes at any one time is -not necessary and
- -.. should not be tolerated. The way' in which our bridges
have'. been and are handled, is not alone absurd, it is a
;. menace to' the business interests of-' the city. The
-' .growth of the city-is now about five to the east side to
- 2,' kme pnJheest side.-The. center of population, is fast
4 changing' to the east side, if ' not Jiow there. Unless a
1 change is made in the manner of handling the bridges,
' nhe center of "business must necessarily soos iollow that
of population. '.Very truly 'jreurs, ';.-i:--:V "' '
-; As the city grows and as business life here becomes
more and more strenuous these . bridge conditions', will
V fl become .more, .aggravating; 2' Withbut any further reg
' dilation the conditions can at once be vastly improved
f - "if all concefned will more fully appreciate the jresponsi--"bility
-which ffsts upon them.,; The bridges are .built
' primarily fpt - the-, convenience of the 'people. '"".Traffic
. over the"ra is particularly acttve"luring what may be
'-'., called the "rush hours,":" that is between 7 nd 8 o'clock
. . in the-,roorning, the noen houf and 5:30 to $f30inthe
' evening. At such times if the openings '-of ,ihe draw' is
" '"unnecessarily "prolonged hundreds 6f people are incon
venienced. We believe that much f the trouble-it due
.to a lack of appreciation on the part of the river men of
the annoyance to bridge traffic- through keeping opn
; - the draw far beyond the time, needed to permit the pas-

a well known fact that m manyases, jfjtot as a rule,
office-rholding blunts or paralyzes a man a. moral percep'
tionsvr obscures his ethical ideals," so that he considers

;. Again, it is a general rule of law that railroad rates
cannot be"" fixed" soAJonpretent transportation rates
from being-profitable, and of course in such . case the
value of the railroads property is very different from
what it js .when the assessor is dealt with. The earnings
are too often based on watered stock -or . otherwise' in
flated values," and the tourtr hold that the railroads ari
entitled to a fair profit at, least on the values their books
show for that purpose. The courts have been quite care
ful in many cases 4o prevent the reduction of rates to
such an extent as would amount to what the railroads
term confiscation of their property and destruction or
tmnairmcnt f thrir"vVte(t ritrhti t .'
. For these reasons, railroad commissions' have not gen
erally accomplished as much as sanguine producers and
shippers have expected of them, yet in some states they
have ddne some good, and a commission in Washington
may be of some value, though we think that.the Chance
of its being of any gTeat benefit, especiaDyconsidering

MUNICIPAL EXPENDITURES.
HE "w INCREASE-fnjnnnicipalexpendaures
throughout the country, being far tn excess dur
ii1ir theD'asr decade of the increase in tangible
taxable wealth, presents a constantly growinf Jproblem,'
ever calling more loudly for solution, 'Governor Stokes
of New Jersey favors a state law restricting cities to
maximum' taxrate, beyond whiclrthey-cannott-tmder-ny
circumstances go. This in fact is the law in some cities,
and is necessarv. and Vet there is in most cities a con
stant .complaint of the insufficiency of funds and of the
tfffferitneed ox more moiyy. i.T " ... ;
Schemes for the taxation of hidden wealth"-;-mort-
gages, savings banks' deposits, and-credits. generally
seem to be impracticable. - Very rich men in eastern
citieslike Russell Sage, for example, always manage ;to
dodge -tejepaying to a great extent, and men of lesser
credit wealth will not end should nor be compelled to pay
when bigger fish escapeVlJThere aeemClittle' chance,
even if it were advisable of greatly increasing municipal
revenues by .attempting full taxation of credits.
Real -estate must doubtless- continue to bear most of
the tax" burden, though aomewief"effovertaxed real

omy. r A' great - deah of -moneys 7 especially- in " a rapidly

the expense should be kept down ' to actualneeds.
Municipal debts are, apparently necessary but they should
be increaaed, only for urgent reasons -and when it is cer
tain that .the increase in the city's population-and wealth
will justify the increase and" not add constantly , to the
property owners': -burdens. A: To do these things civic
honesty and not politics jnust rule.

RAILROAD. COMMISSIONS DISAPPOINTINa
IT 15 DUUci ljUlv if the state pf Washington will be
'-satisfied withi'any railroad commission bill that it
will get from the present or any other legislature.
'JiU Judging-by the experienceof other states with cOmmis-
v sions.' the probability is thatithe people wil'r'be more or
less disappointed rjthe commissiopjlaw being worked
on at Qlympia. The benefit of a state railroad com
mission depends partly jonjiow' much power is given it
' t, by the legislature 'and how much such granted power' It
- is allowed toxercise' bythe xoum, and partly oh the
licfelityrof tHe commTssiohers appointed or elected. It ia
. never certain that commissioners will not be susceptible
7 to "railroad Thfluences to such an extent as to render
. theirserkes of little rvalue to-the peopre, nor that as

pany, or its vendees, devisees, successors or as

F 0 - " . f
have "deserved the respectful attention paid to it, yet the
people generally will agree with the committee that these
arguments should not prevail against the proposed law
having for its object the irrigation by the government of
a great tract of land in .southeastern Oregon. V ' ? V
It seems that the ther land owners up "here me
unanimously in favor of the government project, and
of accepting!: the'goyernmenrr bonding-proposition and
other terms. The project has been held up or ren
dered doubtful by the refusal of this "romparry, or the
owners of these granted lands, to- accede to these terms
and join with settlers in . bonding their lands. This ac
tion, on the surface of the case at least, comes with tad
grace frotn these extensive land owners.' They got many
years ago a very wide anJ jorigTftr'pof land-exTendifig
across most of. the width of the state, for' building a
wagon road across the Cascade mountains and the trans-
montane plainsvMahy of these lands have become quite
valuable, ana are in fact valuable out of all proportion to
the work and service rendered in building the road. If
the individual holders of traits of land no there run af
ford to have them irrigated on the terms proposed by
tne government, this company should certainly afford to
do so, and it should hot be permitted to stand in the way
ot tne development by irrigation of that region.' .
The railroad and wagonroad-rgrantees of great bodies
of land were certainly- very liberally treated and they
should be tne last ones to resist a great irrigation project

tlon. - Mr. Bryan believe that there will
be a. apltt in the Republican party sim

and" that after the new alignments are
made he would not be surprised to find
himself acting la political aocord with
such Republicans as Governor La' Fol

Bant and Oovemor Cummlna. with pos
sibly President Roosevelt as their leader.
Mr. i Bryan also Indicated a restriction
of his personal political ambitions to a
seat In the senate of the United States.
There have been many whirligigs In
American politics, and it would do no
vtoienoe to the analogies of history to
find Mr. Rooeevlt and Mr. Bryan soma
