BLACKMAIL Threatening: and bull-dozine tactics on the part of the Southern Pacific are not confined to Klamath Falls dur ing these temperamental summer days. ' From Eugene comes word that the Southern Pacific has told the people of that progressive city, m eiteet, tins: "You give us a site for our shops and terminal and we will locate here. If you don't we will move them up the line to Springfield and Eugene will be out of luck. And Eueene fell, hook, line and sinker, tor this brazen threat. An election has been called for August 18. at which time the people will vote on the question of rais ing a $175,000 bond issue to present the Southern Pa cific its terminal and shop site on a silver platter. It is almost a certainty that the bond issue will be approved, for Eugene has not been forced to deal with Strahorns and Shoups for years, and it is fearful that this blatant threat of -the Southern Pacific will be car ried out unless it is presented with its $175,000 terminal bite. On the face of it, the Southern Pacific threat is rid iculous. It would be the very epitome, of foolishness for the Southern Pacific to attempt to move its terminal from Eugene to Springfield, and nobody knows this bet ter than "the Southern Pacific officials themselves. Their carshops are now located in Eugene. Then why the threat to move them to Springfield? It is coercian blackmail of the most despicable type. But coming from the Southern Pacific it is to be expected. It is the same tactics which they used to whip 14 vacilating Klamath lumbermen into line. It is the same ruse employed by their foster son, Robert E. Strahorn, in this city many years ago. Eugene taxpayers no doubt will saddle $175,000 debt upon their shoulders to save, as they surmise, a terminal which the Southern Pacific never intended to take from them. Corporation blackmail is a great game if you can get avav with it. lite m IsKSKp- ., p' r Mta. fCit-rC-iti WOKVl'll .

Members of the chamber of commerce today received copies of the statement issued by Paul Shoup, executive vice-president of the Southern Pacific company, about ten days ago. This statement sets forth what the South ern Pacific may do, provided it is not afflicted with "destructive competition." Is this the first step in a campaign to secure the indorsement of the chamber of commerce? If so, we would suggest to the officials of the chamber that the wise thing to do at this time is to keep hands off. It is a question that must not be acted upon in executive session. Anything along this line should be submitted to the full membership on a referendum. Then if the majority favors the S. P. there will be no complaint. That's to be seen on every hand, ilfylander has one of the target Nor do the fundamentalists like the ' hives of bees In this sect! lit. way the liberals thrash uruutid, kicking against the bricks. .

The Southern Pacific purchased the Springfield site 13 years ago, and announced its plans for the building Of division shops upon the completion of the Natron Cut-off. Cessation of the railroad's construction delayed action, but Springfield has since then lived upon hopes of eventual realization of this plan. To Springfield, the railroad's desertion is a death blow. To Eugene it can make but little difference whether the shops are located northwest of Eugene on the new site or east of Eugene on the Springfield site. The, payroll and business in either case goes to Eugene. The only persons benefited by the transfer are the ad jacent realty owners and boomers who have optioned the property, and ask the city to vote bonds to made their speculation good. Throughout all these years, Springfield has been loyal lo the Southern Pacific, while Eugene has divided her allegiance with the Oregon Electric and recently flirted with the Union Pacific. All of which proves that if you want favors from a railroad, cultivate rival railroads. - ii&lem Capital -lournal, iijjl'' n"S LMTHRALUMOr SPlemook op it ail -V OWW A PERSOM '"' ' -i twwn hac -SLEPT -V JMOiRTrtE PE2EWT 'HRS CAM Re A. 1-2 e mi rVOE vmOOmG ThAP OMVN A kiAnj ajhc Aim-( !mAO A QPiMi Foh Six MOMTi-tS RiO'M' UKiOlimBMHS DESERT Sum Om wjfim A HIPPED H& Golf Directors To Meet Tonight To use every effort III rushing the Completion of the golf course, Is the purpose of the moe(!ng called in the office of .1.
