MORE S. P. 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.

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

"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.

DESERTING SPRINGFIELD
The Southern Pacific company has joined forces with
the Eugene boomers to complete the sand-bagging of
Springfield through abandonment of its proposed rail
road shop site at Springfield and acceptance of a new
site northwest of Eugene to be purchased by a 175,000
Eugene municipal bond issue.
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.
