The Pacific Coast Salvage Co. Selling the Stock of the Boston Store, First & Salmon CORPORATIONS TO PAY FOR VALUABLE RIGHTS Franchise-Grabbing Combines Cause Agitation of Scheme Whereby Common People Shall Secure Bene fit from Public Gifts. By John E. L&throp. jeton, Aug. 22. In every at&te in which nra national forest 1 bound o arise the issue as to whether or not private corporations shall pay for the land privileges procured through the appropriation of water for power in the government forests. The subject is at this time not well developed, and tho forest bureau refuses to be quoted in any respect. Privately, however, some of the officials discuss It, and the trend Is towards the holding that such cor porations should pay something for tho land privileges enjoyea. Extensive inquiry among those offi cials who are regarded as more or less exoert interpreters of the basic law Involved, reveals the growing dlsposl tion to take advanced ground, much as municipal economists have marched for ward to the dismay of those who have heretofore always appealed success fully to the oourts on the ground of vested rignts. Tested lghts Is Pisa. It Is a fact familiar to all that the "vested rights' piea nas Deen tne har hnr of safety for every franchlse-fav ored corporation that ever was brought face to face with modernised demands for recognition of popular rights. Street car companies, when asked to submit to municipal reguiaiton.-eoniroi or rares, enforced increase of service in the form of more cars and extended lines, larger taxation, and other phases of the new franchise regime, have resorted to the courts, and me contention nas Deen that it was "proposed to take away our property," as was argued last win ter here in Washington, when 'congress showed signs of adoption a law for "no seats, no fares. ' But it has become one of the accept ed doctrines of court interpretation in recent years that "vested rights" must nroir Mrtlv in thtt rfirhta nt all the people, and, based on this doctrine, courts have swept many of the bul warks oare utilised by the franchise corpocoifDn. igtuu Deal for ths People. Is oonoeded that the rights of the Seocle nowadays are more rlridlv guarded than In former years, and this newer attitude augurs a change In con ditions affecting the use- by private corporations of water and land for pow er DUIDOSBS. The creation of national forests has not in the least affected the appropri- atlon of water for power purposes by private coronratlons. As in the past, the corporation files on the water un der the state laws, even although the water originate on reaerai government national forests. The forester and his associates do not noid that this should be changed, rec ognlzing in this Instance the line of demarkatlon between federal and state rights. It Is likely, however, that before long some sort of change will be made for the land privileges given to pri vate corporations wno go on reaerai lands to appropriate water under the state laws. It Is to be expected that the officials of these corporations will howl long and loud and resist the fee paying with possible ardor. But It seems to be inevitable that in "time they must yield and pay something for wat they get now for nothing. ' Strang Situation, Naturally, the study of this phase of national aaministration teaas one across the line Into the realm of the commonwealth and it is discovered that a strange situation exists. A given ran or water, capable of developing, say, 100,000 horse power, lies contig uous to a growing city. Someone nails up a1 shinaie on a tree on the land at the falls, notifying the world that he nas forthwith taken that power to be his own. and files it with the clerk of the county, paying $3 for a horse to ride to the falls and fifty cents for ruing his notice. Henceforth, forever, that man or his assigns claims that 100,000 horse power tor ms own. The Question has arisen in tha juris prudence of the country: Does that man or his assigns really own that 100,000 horse power? What has he rendered to the state for what he took without compensation? It IS argued by the lawver for the aPDrODrlator of the atr that ha ran gers the state the service of provid ing some public utility or develops some enterprise, employing men and paying wages and maintaining Industry. Xfw Philosophy. At this" DOint Com AM In th np philosopher and says: "Presume some man were to go, not to the State, but tn that annrnnrlatn ?f ,wteJ. nd say: 1 take forthwith 60.000 of your 100,000 horse power, and, as compensation, will render to the pub- i Tlu" " ""nutining an inaus proprlator rest to resist the second ap proprlator? Certainly, title must rest on consideration. What consideration did the first man render for his 100, 000 horse power? It has come to the knowledge of cer tain federal officials that more than 600,000, perhaps, 1,000,000 horse power has been appropriated on the Pacific coast during the past five years. The power sites have been located by the syndicates at advantageous places, com manding Industry and streetcar line In most of the lararer nltlna. TriiHniil v immense numbers of units of Dower i ana Deen appropriated similarly. "As we have looked into this phase ot tne utilization or water and land a well versed official said, "we find tnat during the past few years, syn dlcates simply have walked Into the western states and laid their hands on tne people s water rowir, acquiring wunoui payment invaiuaDle privileges; that they are in a fair way to command tne industrial situation or the future that they will soon be in a position to levy neavy irmute on tne people, utll lzlng as their chief asset the water power which they took from the people. paying aosoiuteiy notning tnereror. States Are Sleeping. "Have not the states slept on thel rights? Have they not sat idly by witnessing the monopolisation of the magnificent resources of the mountains and hills and have not they given awa.y privileges wnicn some time will be even now in places are, worth count less millions?' i "If there seems to be aRaresslon, br tne reaerai government, as compared with the state governments, if there seems to be so-called encroachments by the federal on the state, is there room for wonderment? Shall tha fed ral be derelict because the states have been? Shall the federal fall to pre serve the rights of the people of the nation oecause tne states nave been neglectful of the rights of the people of their commonwealths? "This is the trend of thought among many reaerai orriciais. some or wnom are high up In the administration. As we study the relationship of the rov ernment lands to the Individual, ofttn we run up against lax conditions such as direct giving away. 'of the people's property and we are expected to con form our policies to such unsatisfac tory . state policies, or rest under the imputation or reaerai usurpation 8o. while no official utterance may be obtained now. it is safe to assume that before long some sort of change win De maae Dy tne reaerai govern ment ror tne use or lands in national rorests. Governor Hughes Takes Sand. Governor Hughes of New York, who has fallen into the habit of attacking tnese prooiems in a ratner practical manner, has added to the discussion by recommending the amending of the New York state law governing the use of water power owned by the state, as illustrated by his private corporation on the St. Lawrence river. " The amendment as to comoensatlon f provides that during the first year of ts existence, tho company shall pay S10.000. he second year 116.000. the third year $20,000. by whtoh time tha company expects to be In operation. Alter mat, tne company is to pay the state at the rate of 76 cents ser horse (power for the first 25,000 horse power try.' upon what would tb UU of U ap- developed. SO cenU per tors power tor the next 76,000 developed, and 26 cents per horse power for all over 126,000 de veloped, but a minimum of $26,000 must be paid to the state. The state en gineer has power to prescribe the kind of books and records to be kept by the company. It is estimated that when the works are in full operation the company will pay the state $90,000 a year. Presuming that this law were to be adopted In Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, California, Arkansas and other southern states, what sums would be paid to the states for the use of water power now given freely by those states? Must Attack Problem. Governor Hughes has put up to the states a problem from which close ob servers here believe there is no escape that it must be attacked and that the inevitable result will be that radical alteration will be accomplished in some of the statutes of the states, and that before long the people will receive pay tor wnat tney give to tne private cor poration. It will be argued in opposition that. if the state demand compensation for such privileges, the corporations simply will pass the cost on to the people, who in tne ena win pay it. "This has been the plea of every fran chise begger who ever enjoyed a free privilege for canine or powerslte in this conutry, the official heretofore quoted said: But, remember, already the people are paying for that privilege tney tnemseives rave to the cornora- tlon because the corporation has Issued stock to cover the value of the free privilege, and rests its Dlea for in creased freights or fares on the claim that the privilege used' Is worth a cer tain sum and there must be Interest paid annually for It. In short, already he has discounted the privilege as a toll paying proposition." Dysnensla is America's curse. Bur dock Blood Bitters conquers dyspepsia every time.
