THURSDAY, AUGGUST 13, 1926 SOUTHERN PACIFIC "COERCION" Paul Shoup, executive vice president of the Southern Pacific company, denies that his company "coerced the lumber manufacturers of Klamath Falls" into signing the now famous statement that they thought there was no need for the construction of a competing line. Perhaps not. Is it not possible that his company "induced them to sign? If the signing of that statement occurred because lumbermen "recognized, our need for all possible revenue to support an investment in excess of the twenty-two and a half million dollars necessary to complete and improve Natron cut-off, and a great many millions more to build, a connection directly east, and to extend our lines locally into agricultural and timber resources of southern Oregon and northern California, an expression most freely and graciously given," why was it necessary to have a 'corps of the brightest minds in the employ of the company here for weeks "inducing" the manufac turers to sign? Why offer to wipe out the switching charges? Why offer" the Truckee rate? If Mr. Shoup believes that the statement was a free and gracious act, carrying with it the hearty support of ihe lumber men, he would change his mind if he knew the real facts. That statement was signed because most of those signing it knew that if they refused the Southern Pa cific would have its revenge later. It was signed be cause of the fear that refusal meant practical ruin be fore relief could be secured through the completion of the Oregon Trunk. That statement has fooled no one, unless it may be Mr. Shoup, and we even doubt if it has fooled him. The Southern Pacific has. slept on its rights in this territory. If it had gone ahead and carried through the original Harriman program, which included the construction of the Modoc Northern, with a line from Susanville, or; near there, to Anderson, as well as a line across the state from Crane to Odell, with branches to Lakeview and Bend, there would be no talk about keep ing out the Oregon Trunk. Instead, it has throttled de velopment and repeatedly stated that the character of the territory made it impossible, from an investment standpoint, to extend its lines. , Nbw it is willing to promise anything and everything, provided it is saved from "destructive competition." Those familiar with Southern Pacific tactics, know that if the Oregon Trunk is shut out, these promises will not be kept. If the territory it now proposes to open up did not justify construction before, it will not justify construction afterwards, and that will be the answer if the. Northern lines are shut out. Our suggestion is that every application for extension of its lines be denied the Southern Pacific and that th" territory it now proposes to open up be turned over to the Northern lines, provided the latter immediately un dertake construction of a railroad to serve them. The Southern Pacific is on record as stating it would not support the investment. The Northern lines claim it will. Let the company that has faith in its development carry on the work. Yes, we realize that Klamath Falls is "bound for hell with a one way ticket," as our morning contemporary facetiously puts it, with the transportation paid for by the California Oregon Power company and the South ern Pacific. We expect to see it come back, however, with the return ticket furnished by the Oregon Trunk. 600 Bottles of Beer Confiscated A .small brewery wan found at 12:; Lakeview avenue late this af ternoon by prohl officers, who say vhey confiscated 600 Pints of She foaming lire win a raid on the place.

Service Writer WASHINGTON, Auk. 11, -Where North American salesmanship fulls down in South America is In try ing to make South Americans ac cept What North Americans think they ought to want Instead of of. faring thew what they really want. Europeans don't make this mis take. They study South American lasles and adapt their goods and methods to them. South Americans always have recognised the Monroe Doctrine's value to them us a guarantee of ihe strong protection of the Hutted States, hut they also always have been a little suspicious of it as pes slhly amounting to w hat the United Slates might some lime consider a warrant to inicifere in their affairs. That is to say. as a I'nii-Aniori-ean joint understanding, they liked the doctrine: as a purely North American policy, they regarded it uskamv. Then the tiongUO of Nations he Kan to take shape. It looked as if the United Stall's would join it. "Will the league supersede the Monroe Doctrine?" asked the South Anieric.uis anxiously, "If so. what becomes ef the North American protection we've enjoyed'.'" Ail their, suspicions of the doc trine vanished. Threatened Willi it loss, they remembered only what It hnd done for them' When the lulled States finally didn't join the league they Were in n c ii relieved. The United States had South Atnoriia sbld on the Monroe Doc trine right then, without an 'ffort on the former's own part. wi.':li is about the only way the foiled States ever does sell anything in South America. . Just at this point the llien sec retary of stale, Charles Kvans HiiKhes, topk occasion to state that the o'octtine was exclusively North' America's and nobody elso's that it was also exclusively in North America's Interest and any body else's only incidentally that it was immaterial whether the South Americana liked it or. not it was none of their business. That spoiled everything. It re awakened all the South Americans' original suspicious, only this time tluy hud ceased to harbor them as mere suspicions they consider ed that Secretary Hughes had con firmed them, in their worst form And Straightway they went to ty injf themselves as tightly as they could to the League of Nations. . ... ... ...... ; ! v -fcJfe "TV V gf f i ' .
