Tho Portland RaJhray, Llsnt ft Power Company !t i pnbUc
servlcd corporation, and wa rcallxa that tba most raluabla aaaet a
public-aervica corporation can hava la tha good -will of tha public.
,Wa aro trying to ba candid and 'aincera in all our dealings with tha
public and, with tha city, and wa frankly admit that wa shall con
sistently strivo to aecura and maintain tha goodwill of tha people
of Portland.- ; ' ' ' - '. ' '
It is an important part of our buslnesa to ran a atreet railway
and to run it efficiently. Wa feel that wa can do more, ordinarily,
by attending to our. business than by entering Into discussions or
esplanatioiia. .:, V.
.lpo secret of getting along with tha other fellow In thla world
U to have a better understanding of his troubles. The man who
ia the tharpest Critic ia often tha beat friend when ba understands
the other feUoVa job. -, : ' ' i .
j i Comparatively; fewr people reallga tha dlfficultlea of modern
; etreet riulway operation. . When anything goes wrong, everybody
noticea It; whenever everything goea right, nobody notices it
We want to have everything go right and everybody to notice
it. We feel that we are making frlenda with tha people of Port
land, and that our efforts to give tha best eervice possible are being
.appreciated, . .Tbiala, not tba accomplishment of a day, but the
result of grinding work and large penditurea for some yeara
past, and we desire, to show the public what we have done and are
v doing for the Improvement of the aervice; what problems we meet
with daily, and some of tha methods which would ba mutually
helpful and beneficial to the railway company and the public. - .
, You may take this fact aa aasureo, that it will not be possible
to remove ail sources of complaint. There is the amiable gentle,
man who Ucka at home and growla all day at hia office, v
We cannot expect to' escape him between time. He .will prob
ably kick at the publication of these articles. But, leaving him
out of the question, it is still plain, from the nature of the business,;
that there; will frequently be unavoidable troubles and lnconven-
;"ianceaV, 1 1 .4 '" "! '
Wa carry a large portion of , the population' of Portland twice
day. ' Counting the transfers, people step up and down from the
cars 320,000 times day. The streetcars of Portland pass back
ward and forward through crowded streets, covering about 29,000
miles, or one and one quarter times the circumference of the globe,
in a single day. There will always be accidenta under these lircum-
, stances. Then, too, the conductor's lot is not a happy one. He
has to Collect money from people of all sorts and dispositions. He
alone ia expected to keep, hia temper, and it is his duty to do so.
If he does not. upon proper complaint, he la disciplined,1 and per'
I haps discharged. W endeavor to aecura the highest class of em

ployea. we are proua ox tne cnaracter ana courtesy oi our men,
and we believe that, as a body, they have not their superiors in the
country. Still they - are ' only human, and they make mistakes.
Many a reasonable kick will necessarily be ' registered against us.
The unreasonable kicks come hard.' Wo feel that we can do away
with many of them if the public understands the streetcar business
a little better. We want to present to you a series Of articles dis
cussing some of the problems, together with a atatement of how :
wa are meeting them. -.i ' s , .
- As for the reasonable, kicks, we want to hear them. They help
us. We realize tha' we can best serve ourselves by serving you.
An outsider can sometimes suggest remedies for existing conditions .
which have escaped the men engaged In the detail of the work.
Suggestions are aolicited. - - - - ' ,
if.hr tellina: vou bur story, you will understand us better, and
' the spirit of mutual helpfulness will be advanced, we shall feel that
our work has been well done. We welcome honest criticism, par
ticularly if it is good-natured, s ' - . . ; -
