Declares Some Nev
Provisions
- Portland, Or., Deq .To'the Editor
of The Journal In your published re
port of the charter committee meet
Ins, you quoted Dr. CJ. H. Chapman at
saylrts; In tenly to C K. Henry, that "tho
rights of the people were paramount to
1 any others," Permit ma to say that I
had never met Dr, Chapman before,
and went before the committee to pro
test against the insertion In the new
proposed charter of , the following se-
"The mayor and council of the city
of Portland shall have the power, on
application or assent in writing of the
owners of the major part of the front
feet of the Jots or tracts of land front
Ins on each side of that portion of any
street or that part or parts or a street
over or on which it la desired to lay
or construct .railroad tracks for con
nr'fltlons, extension, spurs, ; sidings or
atvirnhon fithAri than thnitA fnr . strAAt
railways, to pass, subject to the pro-
visions and reiiulrements of thlw cliar-
ter, such ordinances as shall be necua-
sary to authorize the construction of
such tracks, and submit the same to
the electors; , but no such railroads
,: -shall ever be authorized to cross any
, Street at jrrade."
I opposed this .as being Inimical to
ma grow in or our, city, , consiaering n
the most nsslnlne proposition that 1
have aver heard of proposed in the city.
Think of it! Should -all the property
owners on Thirteenth street in the ware,
house district, or on Fifteenth street in
the new warehouse district, petition the
council for right to lay a spur, switch
or Bldetrack to reach any wholesale
house or warehouse, they must be sub
jected to the delay of, and the city put
to the expense of submitting the quea
. tlon to a vote of the people, to ascer
tain whethe or not the people at Mount
Scott, Lents, Woodlawn and Montavilla
were willing or not to allow the peo
ple' on Thirteenth or Fifteenth streets
to have what they want, and were will
ing to pay for. It's absurd!
ts. Cites as Xnstanes.
As an Illustration, John Klernan, one
of our pioneers who has spent the best
years of his life tn the upbuilding of
this city, is now constructing a Five
story warehouse on Thirteenth street,
covering; an entire block; should the pro
vision that Dr. Chapman is Insisting on
be passed, it would be necessary for the
city to vote upon the proposition of
allowing a switch or spur up to that
warehouse.
Again, you will note that the last
clause in the proposed - section states
that, "No such railroad shall ever be
authorized to cross any street at grade."
I asked of the committee what was
meant by that, and the learned doctor
declared that it was printed just as they
Intended it as they did not wish the
railroads to cross the streets at grade,
"as they were murdering the people on
the streets every year.'' Who is this
self-styled, loud-proclaiming champion
of the people, who stood up and de
clared that "the rights of the people

would seem proper for tha learned gen

posing as a. champion of tha people, to
return -t his own state and prepare to
formulate the laws for his own people,
if they want him to, and allow the peo
ple of Portland t make tha-laws for

business man in the city of Portland to

We have enough laws if they were

new and additional laws, let them be

conditions, and not to suit the crotchet,

Don't we want all the transportation fa

come of the Mount Hood railroad if
this ridiculous section -of the proposed
charter were passed? Where would the
Oregon Eleotrlo and the United Rail
ways be able to transact business in the
city under the, proposed conditions?
It behooves the business men of the
city to take a little more Interest in
the formulating of the laws of this city.
It should not be left to -dreamers and
doctrinaires. Every business man should
attend these meetings, and help suggest
sections ol the charter, as it is easier
a vet corrections made, now than to
have the charter defeated at an election.
As to the doctor, in open meeting, de
nouncing and stigmatising me as a
pleader for the special Interests, I have
only to say that the people of Portland,
with whom I have been transacting
business from day to day for the last
iO years, are the best judge of that.

recognized by all those who knew of
the work that it did. It did not at

& considering the life of a city, the
speaker contended, it was necessary to
look at the business development and
activity, at the social life, the associa
tions of men with men, at the religious
life and at the political life. The work
of the Y. M. C. A. touched all of these
conditions and phases. It taught young
men the waVs of business, and instilled
into them honesty in business. It
taught them to be clean tn their social
life. It led them Into religious belief,
and it Instilled Into their minds the
tenets of clvlo honor and political in
