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.

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.
