Tet the author of these bills, who
was enjoined by our courts in the
case mentioned, urges you to work this
"great injury and to do violence to
the constitution,": by destroying to
the waterfront owners the use of their
property up te "bankful stage." and
to place the control of the same is
the municipal and state authorities. '
Bullions .Are Invested. -
Private citizens and railroads' alike
have seen assessed for this property
many years, and each year taxes have
been collected. Millions have been in-"
vested In this property by private
owners, as well as by the railroads,
and to destroy Its use means financial
ruin to many who have made their in
vestments upon the assurance of the
laws and the court decisions of the
state. If the people of the state be
misled as to thess bills and confiscate
this property, bow can the wrong be
corrected; how can the distrust that
rWill. be caused in the minds of those
whom - we desire to Interest in our,

With, this power available to ' the

with their further power to condemn
all docks and waterfront and take there

the - commission should be content,
without depriving us and the people
of the state of the beneficial use ot
our properties.
Bad XlffM Since 1862.
Shore owners have had the right
since lit J te build wharves, and this
ngnt has feeeo exercised to the extent
that the commerce and business of
the state Justified suen construction,
but the author of these bills contends
that because aH the vsland owners
have not built wharves along the
waterfront, the right t do so
should be taken aWay from all of them.
We submit that : the people ef the
state, ; recognising the necessity . for
making th us ef the navigable
waters of the state available, did not
contemplate La the enactment ef the
old law that a great waste of money
apd property must be made for miles
of expensive and useless docks, but
did recognise that the right should be
a continuing one, available as business
development and commerce justified
expenditure for wharf construction. If
it has been necessary in the past for
the business of the state te have ac
cess to its navigable: waters, there is
certainly a greater necessity new be
cause of the increasing volume ef our
business and commerce. .
This state and every other state tn
our Union has aa eminent domain stat
ute authorising railroads and ether
cubllo scrvloe -corporations to eon-
eemn upon first- paying full value
therefor, land and property for rights
of way and other faculties -necessary
for the oo adust of their business of
serving the public, and has at statute
authorizing railroads to aoqulre the
right te occupy any- canyon, pass er
defile 1st the eta to with another rail
road, te the end that the development
of the state by transportation facili
ties may be possible.
Will it be contended that because
the state was not covered with a net
work of railroada in pioneer days.
when the business and traffic did not
Justify such construction, that the
state should now tie its own bands and
repeal eminent domain laws and pro
vent, the construction ef more trans
portation lines required by the com
merce and development of the state?
Buch action would be no more unrea
sonable, and as little Justified, as Is
the action proposed by these water
front bills in taking away from the
cltisens of: the state their right ef ac
cess to their navigable waters.
. Vsssideaft Hakes Appeal,
President Wilson's appeal for fair
dealing with railroads I
Under date of September 19, 114,
President Wood row Wilson addressed
a letter to Frank Trumbull, chairman
of the commit tea of railroad execu
tives, wherein lie said:
"Ton ask me to call the attention
of the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
way, wnemer oy privates cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever feas
ible, of governmental agencies, and I
am glad to do so, because X think the
need very real ... This is the
time f er all te stand together in united
effort te comprehend every interest
and sustain and serve it la every le-i
gitimate way."
Ws commend the sentiments of the
president to the consideration of the
author of these bills, and submit that
he might well emulate the chief ex
ecutive, by cooperating wtth the clti
sens , and corporations ef the state
that are -honestly conducting legiti
mate business, rather than confiscate
their property and discredit the state
throughout the . commercial world. -
