COPCO CROWD GOING
It looks as if we are going to have a new deal in the
light and power situation in Klamath county. Published
and confidential reports are to the effect that the Cali
fornia Oregon Power company is going to pass into
ihe hands of operators instead of stock speculators and
the crowd now in control of the affairs of that company
"will pass out of the picture and a new element a busi
ness element will take charge.
The time was when the Power company had the
good will of the people of this county. That was be
fore the stock jobbing gang got hold of the affairs of
the company. Pursuing the methods common to that
tribe, all of the human touch was crushed out of its ad
ministration. Everyone and everything that got in their
way were crushed or debauched. It was not long before
the people discovered that this gang of get-rich-quick
Wallingfords were out to line their pockets at the ex
pense of the people. Water rights were stolen and
rates were raised to a point where it became a real
hardship on the people. All this was capitalized and
bonded and everything was done to make a financial
showing that would justify a sale to those who make the
operation of power companies a business instead of a
stock speculating trade.
If the Byllesby company comes in the people will have
to do with a concern that recognizes the human element.
The record of the company wherever it operates seems, to
he one of peace and harmony and cooperation. How
ever, if it comes into the control of the California Oregon
Power company itjnust do so with a realization of the
fact that the people here never will consent to a theft
of their water; that they never will consent to an abando
ment of the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land,
that the water for their irrigation may go down the
Klamath river to produce power to be coined into profits
for its stockholders at the expense of the people of the
Klamath district. The waters of the Kalmath lake be
long to the people first and when this fact is recog
nized, then, and not 'till then, will a basis for peace be
found and a cooperative pact signed.
THAT TERMINAL SITE
We have heard a lot of stuff from the morning mouth
piece of the Southern Pacific about the terminal that it
says will be established here. We believe that all this
terminal talk is the same as we heard for weeks about
the application that had been made for the line to Alturas.
That application was not made until the Evening Herald
published the fact that someone was not telling the truth.
The expose finally resulted in forcing a last-minute filing.
We would now like to have some definite, concrete
statement from an authorative Southern Pacific source
of where and when the terminal will be located. We
don't believe the Southern Pacific has changed its plans
to locate the terminal at Fuego. If it has, then there
should be someone in authority who can state definitely
that the terminal is to be located in Klamath Falls. We
have had no such statement yet.
THE CRUCIAL TIME IS COMING
Some people Have gotten the idea into their heads that
the fight for the Northern lines is over. This is a mis
take. It is just starting. Just as soon as the hearing in
Portland is ended, you will find the Southern Pacific at
work bottling up the city. You will find it trying to
secure rights in and around the city that will make it
impossible for the Northern lines to enter. You 'will find
it out in the field buying property and will handicap the
construction of the line, provided the interstate com
merce commission grants to the Oregon Trunk permis
sion to extend from Bend to Klamath Falls. The cru
cial time is ahead and the people must ever be on thu
look-out for tricks and trickery. The gain that has been
made must not be 'lost, but it will be lost if there is the
least relaxation upon the part of the people.
It is strange to see a newspaper that claims .to repres
ent the interests of the people advocating the closing of
the city to another railroad and then claiming it is not
governed by the influence of the Southern Pacific. And
it is strange to see business men who claim they stand for
the welfare of the community supporting such a news
paper. But stranger than all is to see those whose bread
and butter depends' upon Greater Klamath Falls patron
izing either of them. When we learn to stand only for
those things that spell advancement for the whole com
munity, we Will have taken the first stej) towards better
things. You will find, however, that the real business
men those who do not fear the competition that will
follow the coming of another railroad are not lined up
against the people, and these are the ones you should
atronie when you have money to spend.

taye ever seen was contained in the Klamath News o!
this morning, when that paper descended to gutter-snipe
tactics in an effort to strike at Mayor Goddard. On its
front page this morning it had an alleged United News
dispatch from Portland, to the effect that Mayor God
dard spent ten minutes at the rail hearing, and then
adds: "Possiblv heinc: in a big city held more pleasures
than listening to a rail hearing. Possibly he faded to
comprehend what it was all about. He wore a bright
red necktie and collar." At any rate that collar was his
own not the Southern Pacific's, which is more than
The News can say. .
