THURSDAY. AUGUST SI. 1*2*
The American public are waiting
with hated breath for the outcome of
the present railroad »trike.
They
know only too wall that they are the
owes who must pay the bill In any
event and they are anxious that it
shall ha settled soon. The Graphic
la o f the opinion that strikes, like
i t relegated to obliv-
A civilised people has no place
for either one.
- W e do not think that either the
railroads or the strikers have all the
right On their aide. We believe that
only a spirit of fairness should be
allowed to ultimately settle the con
troversy, but in the meantime the
general public— Innocent parties— is
made to suffer. Take the case of the
farmer. Following years o f poor
crops and low price*, he is Just be
ginning to see hia way out of hie
difficulties owing to better grope and
in most eases the promise o f better
prises, but suddenly the aky j is
clouded by the threat of strike and
the knowledge that he cannot get his
crops to market. This is not a vis
ion of what may come to pass, but it
la. a present condition. We have men
in our own community who have al
ready suffered. In California it is
said that the fruit men w ill lose
millions of dollars because of the
Efforts at conciliation and adjust
ment have utterly failed and the out
look is very dubious. President
Harding in discussing the strike evil
thht la injuring this country and ev
ery eltlsen in it, «aid:
"Liberty is gone in America when
any man la denied the right to work
and live by that work. It does not
«■latter who denies. A free Ameri
can has the right to labor without
another’s leave. It would be no lass
an abridgement to deny mgn the
right to bargain collectively. Gov
ernments cannot tolerate any class
or group dominating through force.’’
W e believe that these are wise
words and should he remembered In
making any settlement.
Certainly
the laboring man must be protected
from any unscrupulous persons who
would seek to grind him down into
a state of mere servitude. On the
other hand he must not be allowed to
dictate to the point where no other
interests save his own are to be con
sidered. We believe that a board of
equity having authority and power
to enforce Its edicts should be estab
lished and both sides should be made
to abide by its decrees.
PECULIAR INCONSISTENCY
The Wood burn Independent of re
cent date has the following to say
regarding the tariff bill:
“ Has tbe northwest no Influential
senators a* Washington? It asauw
not. with the :wnate placing logs on
th e free Hat. Naturally this newt
is pieusing to British Columbia, but
it w ill paralyse the industry, but
may cheapen lumber.”
As a rale a democratic paper fav
ors a low tariff or else none at all,
but hem the Independent evidently
wants a protective tariff on logs.
Verily, the efforts to discredit aa
admiaiStratton lead in devious and
wondrous ways.
HOME
DOES IT P A Y t
Some time ago the city of New-
hers enacted % franchise ordinance
by which they placed a license fee
upon stages, trucks.,
utility ve-
and other forms of pul
hlcles.
Ever since t
became effective ther
complaints and objection« made from
all sides. At the outset the city was
called upon to defend the ordinance
in the courts and lost the suit on
the grounds that the fee« were in
the form of a license and too high to
be called purely regulatory, the
Judge ruling that only a regulatory
fee could be charged by the city. At
the last meeting of the cpuncll there
were three sources of complaint filed
against the ordinance. These were
thé local fanners and haulers who
sometimes
and such
the people from
St. Paul who obJested to a fee on
their star route carrier for hauling
passengers and also on their truck
men who come to Newberg and haul
freight to 8t. Paul; and the repre
sentatives of the Tillamook stage
lines who objected to the fee as they
have an agreement with the local
stage lines not to compete with them
for business between here end Port
land and felt that the small amount
of business which they did here did
not Justify them in paying; the fee
Under the present system the city
is allowed to charge the various
stage companies, jitney men, track
companies, teamsters, etc., a small
regulatory fee. We do not know ex
actly what this would amount to in
the aggregate, but we seriously
doubt if it pays the city when the
feet that Newberg has last a greet
deal o f the good will of the farmers,
the traveling public, the St. Paul
peogle, the truck and stage people,
and in feet most of those affected
by this ordinance both directly and
indirectly, is considered.
W e believe that tn the long run
the city would be financially better
off to abandon these franchise fees
entirely and by so doing win back
the friendship of the farmers and
others, many of whom have said that
so long as they are in effect they
would not trade in* Newberg- W e
cannot afford to turn a deaf ear to
their appeals, nor can there be a
discrimination shown between dif
ferent carriers under the law. Then
It would seem that tbs only course
left open is to abandon the fees en
tirely and forget it all.
