MILLIONS FOR OBSTRUCTION
When the announcement was made about six months
ago that the Northern lines planned on coming to Klam
ath Falls, the Southern Pacific declared that it would be
a wilful waste of money to build a second railroad into
this city, because the present and potential tonnage
would not justify it; that its coming would be destruc-
Live cunijjeuuuii , mat an or uie new uusnitdss mat iingm. i
De developed, together with that which might be diverted
from the Southern Pacific, would not be sufficient to pay
interest on the investment. These and many similar
reasons were advanced by the Southern Pacific to justify
its opposition to the entrance of the Northern lines.
Startled by the almost unanimous demand on the part
of the people that the Northern lines be granted permis
sion to build, the Southern Pacific changed its tactics
snd had recourse to its time-worn practice of promising j
urst one railroad extension and then another, until tne
expenditure for these extensions mounted to the hure
sum of approximately $21,000,000. But with each
promise was made the condition that it would not be
subjected to "destructive competition," which means that
the Northern lines would be shut out.
If the present and potential tonnage of the Klamath
district was not and will be sufficient to pay dividends
on the cost of the Northern line extension from Bend
roughly estimated at 8,000,000 where is the Southern
Pacific going to get the business to pay dividends on
the $21,000,000 it is willing to spend to keep this district
under its exclusive control? Is it not a wilful waste of
money to spend $21,000,000 to accomplish what 38,
000,000, or a little more, will accomplish? If the busi
ness in this district is so great that the Southern Pacific
can afford- to waste over ten million dollars to control it,
expecting the shippers to pay freight charges high
enough to pay dividends o nthis waste, then is it not
sufficient to justify the expenditure of eight millions by
the Northern lines, with the certain resultant of lower
freight rates, better car supply, wider" markets and
greater development?
It is one of two things: Either the Southern Pacific
never intends to spend $21,000,000 in railroad construc
tion in this territory, if it succeeds in heading off the
Northern lines, or it was misrepresenting the facts when
it first sought to convince the people that there was not
sufficient business in this district to justify the entrance
of a second railroad.
The motto of the Southern Pacific seems to be, "Mil
lions for obstruction, but not one penny for development."

similar meetings were held in those towns last June,
everyone knew about them. Not so with this latest
move of the Southern Pacific. Only a few hand-picked

the Malin meeting reiterated its demand for the North

ihe Merrill meeting has not been announced.
