Tho mpetlno- vm attended bv th2 executives of American electric railway companies, public service corrmls'slons. municipal ofllclali and bankers with the object of developing an understanding of the mutual and respective rights and rqulremcnti of electric railway com panies and the public. "Before the war, In many localities, the public attitude toward public utility companies had become distinctly antas onlstlc," said Mr. Taylor. "This antagonism was brought about In part by certain companies which had pursued practices lnlmlcablo to public welfare It enabled designing politicians and public officials to serve ther selfish purposes by malting reprisals against our industry. Practice Outlawed Noi "Such practices have now been out lawed and the public has been safe guarded against their recurrence by ef fective legislation; consequently a re construction of publlo sentiment respect ing corporate enterprises Is now dis tinctly In order and actually taking place, "Tho Individual or publlo official who would deny to an electric railway the right to earn the money required to meet Its Just obligations to Its owntrs Is a most dangerous and destructive pub lic enemy " Mr. Taylor further stated that mutual and respective rights and requirements of the public and public utility compa nies must be clearly understood and safeguarded In the development of a new and settled policy of co-operation between them which will cnablo and re quire exl&ting public utility companies to establish and perform such adequate and efficient service as the public Is en titled to have Speaking of franchises, Mr. Tailor said: "There has been no greater miscon ception In the history of American busi ness and public affairs than that at taching to public utility franchises and franchise values "A franchise generally has no value' In Itself unless It enables capital to earn a greater return than It could gen. erally In other lines of Investment which are subject to the same risks No Inherent Value In Franchise "A franchise, as It stands today, cer tainly has no other function or virtue than that of an lnstrument'under which private capital performs a public serv ice), and the Idea of any Inherent value mS" .attaching to It has long ago evaporated iyy ' in the mind of every one who knows ' v .-.. v. i i.. t. ...It,-.-., "In the Interest of both parties, there. fore, street railway franchises must be revised along reasonable and scientific lines so that they will produce the re sult for which they exist. "They must assure the owners, of electric railway properties of the right to possess and operate their properties at least until they are fully reimbursed the value thereof together with an ade quate return, thereon. In other words, common honesty requles that properties common honesty requires that properties service shall not be taken or destroved Without Just compensation be first se cured to the owners thereof."
