I have never been ap proached; in fact, have been beyond the palo of my friends. Regarding thu prosecutions which are now hold up, my candid opinion is that tho prosecution has used my nbsonco ns nu excuse to drop out of the ileal.

The special committee of the Ash land Commrccinl club, appointed to investigate the application of John It. Allen for an intcrurbnn electric line, reported as follows today, recom mending the granting of the- fran chise. The members of the commit tee have heretofore npproved the franchise: Ashland, Ore., June 9th, 1910 . To the Ashland Commercial Club: Gentlemen: Your committee ap pointed to confer with Mr. J. R. Al len in tho matter of his application to the voters of Ashland for a street railway franchise have respectfully to repert: We have had full and free confer ence with Mr. Allen as to the several objections raised to certain provi sions of tho proposed franchise. As to the objection that there is no specific requirement that Mr. Al len shall carry the work of construc tion to completion with reasonable expedition where it has once begun on n particular street within the tirao limit of one year from date of adoption of the franchise, Mr. A.llen has given us satisfactory assurances as to his intentions and good faith in the efforts ho will make to build a road as soon ns possible, and has furnished us the following signed statement, which is in agreement with the statement he made at the club meeting Monday night. "Ashland, Ore., June 7, 1910. "I intend to accept the Ashland franchise, if granted, in good faith and promise ns part of my accept ance to Tile an agreement in writing to begin construction within one year, as provided, and to prosecute tho work in good faith continuously and complete same in a reasonable time unavoidable delays beyond my control not to be charged against nitr. "JN.O. R. ALLEN." As to tho furthor objoction that the franchise would permit Mr. Allen to make r. blanket filing on nil tho streets nnd alloys of Ashland, we are satisfied by assurances from him that ho has no purpofo to make nnv reservations of streets and al- company, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., IniminH ilAnmilli ilin ATil V if fl II lllllKnl company, which is a virtual rubb'r monopoly; that tho Sntaudard Oil company controls tho oil producing lands, thnt thu 'Southern Pacific rail road and tho Ilarrinian heirs control two-thirds of the Mexican railroads, that the sugar trust monopolizes tho sugar business, nnd that the Wells Forgo Express company has a mon opoly of tho Moxican express busi ness. Thoso interests, it is alleged, aie "protootod" through concossioiis mndo by Prosidont Diaz, and that consequently the iutorcsts ue their powerful influence in America for Diaz. Tinner assorts that financial intorosts nro paying Diaz for those concessions bv using pressure with tho federal government to accomplish Diaz's ends, and pleading that if his wishes nro not carried out "capital" would bo jeopardized, OB S OF E leys except snch as thero is reason able prospect of being used and oc "In filing plat designating the streets and alleys which I wish to use for street railway purposes, I wish to assuic the committee that suck reservation will only bo made of such streets and alleys as there is a rea sonable prospect of being used and occupied for street railway purposes, and that it is not my purposo or in tent to filo a blanket reservation cov ering streets or alleys not needed. Certainly I shall not want to use the street aiound the Plaza and the nar row section of Main street between, Water street and tho Plaza, rait the following signed statement of Mr. Allen) which is specific ns ib the criticisms we have heard, and seems to meet them fully: I'lnzn Left Unmolested. "Ashland,, Ore., Juno 8, 1910. "To tho Cemmittee: cupicd for railroad purposes. Neither docs he intend to use tho narrow portion of Main strcot running in front of tho Ashland House block, nor will he enter tho Plaza with his line. As to this objection, we sub "JNO. R. ALLEN." IteroiumeiHl the Approval. After carefully rcviowiug the pro visions of this franchise and consid ering tho question of grunting it in every aspect in which it is presented, to us, tho commttco bus docided tc recommend its approval by tho vot ers at the special election to bo held thereon next Saturday, the 11th inst. In reaching this decision wo have been impressed by the evident good faith and earnest professions of the applicant for such franchise and the assurances which scorn to us woll founded, that tho road will bo built within a reasonable time, tho money being already arranged for. Having due regard to the best interests of our city as this mattor is now pre sented and undestood by us, wo roc- ommond Mr. Allen's proposition and lecommend to the voters that his franchise bo granted.
