THE ABUSE OP FRANCHISES 11 Wants a Law Compelling Every Citliea to Attend the Primaries I ader Penalty of a Use. Other Peppery Remarks. Fresh from his victories over the or ganizations of enterprise which had sought. In his city, to "hold up" the individual citizen by means of exces sive charges wiung through perver sions of public franchises, that Inter esting Individual, Mayor Plngree of Detroit, the other evening gave Chlca goans a lecture which abounded in al ternations of wit. sarcasm and drastic though wholesome common sense. At the outset he lamented that his edu cation had not been sufficiently liberal to enable him to tell where crime ceases to be vulgar and Is looked upon an being In good form. "Why the man who enters tho houses of his fellow citizens in the night time without a. writ of replevin and borrows articles of value which he forgets to return should be looked upon with suspicion, and why a body of sworn public offi cials who barter away public lights) and privileges without adequate con sideration and against the public Inter ests and public policy should be called honorable is a question" which he con fessed that he would have to leave to the professors of ethics. Then he add ed: A elty is a corporation. Each Inhabi tant of legal ate is a member of the cor poration and u holder of one share of stock. For convenience it becomes nec essary thut certain stockholders I chosen as directors and as such must hold proxies for thousands of those who cannot be present to speak for themselves. To be a director In such a corporation should be the most honorable position to which any Inhabitant of a elty can attain. It should be a mark of distinction so great th t in future years the children of an alder man or member of the board of directors of the corporation should be able to nay without shame and with pride that their father was so true and faithful anil hon est a man that the people of his own city gave him authority to spetik for them in the management of the city government. And a man who betrays the trust and con lldenee of his fellow-cltlzens should be treated with such scorn und contempt that there would be nothing left for him to do but hide himself in the uttermost parts of the earth." The Duty of Lawyers. "It should," the mayor continued, with sperlal reference to the association of lawyers under whose auspices ho spoke, "be a greater honor for a lawyer to occupy such a position than to lie the general counselor for the richest private concern in the land or to be the hired lobbyist of any individual, cor poration or trust." Evidently he thought this honor not fully appreciat ed, for he continued: Lawyers should be the moRt Independ ent, outspoken and aggressive foes of public wrongs. As a body of men they uve, not. They are like many preachers, doctors and bankers. I do not know that we can blame any of them. It is safe to preach about the outrages in Armenia unci the heathen In Africa, and If anybody who lives near home must be denounced it is best to take a fall out of the petty crim inals and outcasts of society. They pay no pew rents and do not keep large bank accounts and do not give pink teas, nor pay lui'Re fees for helping to organize systematic, plunder in the way of public franchises. Ease is too great a tempta tion. It is easier for the business man to say that he will let the rascals plunder and that he will redouble his efforts and In some way make up in his private busi ness the amount which Is stolen from hi in us a public citizen. And then perhaps be has a friend whose feet are in tho trough anil he does not wish to disturb a frugal meul for fear their social re lations will be strained, or perhaps he may Want accommodations at a bank, and he feels compelled to talk beneath his breath for fear a bank director who fx Interested either in gas or electricity or telephone or street cars may hear what he says and throw his paper out the next time he appears as a slave asking for a favor. It Is so much easier and more comfortable to kick your neighbor thun to go around the corner and kick yourself. Passing from these general remarks to the Immediate object of his address, which was to stiffen up the backbones of C'blcagoans who want lower street car fares, the mayor repeated his fa miliar statistical demonstration that at 3 cents per passenger any well-managed street railway in a populous com munity can pay all just expenses be sides earning reasonable interest on the actual necessary investment, adding: "The man who saves $1 can put it in the savings bank and receive 3 per cent, interest. The man who saves 1 cent upon every 5 receives 20 per cent. In terest nnd the man who saves 2 cents for each ride invests his own money In his own bank at 40 per cent. Interest. If it Is posllde that such a saving can be made it is the duty of the city au thorities to see that It Is done." That brought him to the central theme of public franchises, their use and abuse. Upon this ho paid: I'se and Abuse of Franchises. A franchise was originally a right to exercise some power or do something which the king, by reason of his previous engaKeuients, delegated to others. Had electricity, as a motive power, been In use In the olden times, and had the king known what profits could be made in operating a street car system by it, he would have retained the privilege and have permitted his swashbucklers to run the political end of the government 'n i would have devoted his especial attention to the traction business. J recognize the fact I am speaking to lawyers, fresh from the books, familiar with all the legal terms and definitions, and 1 beg leave to ask you a few questions: Is the right conferred upon a street railway company to use the streets of a city anything but a license? Can the city confer upon any company a greater right than it has? Does the elty have any right in the streets except a license to use them for certain purposes upon grounds of public policy? If this is true, what do we find? We find that the street railway companies have assumed that the license Itself is not the property of the elty, but the property of the company, and, assuming it to be property, they have executed mortgages and sold bonds to cover the license. By virtue of this right to mortgage that which belongs to the people themselves they have been able to. place fictitious values upon their roads. A road which could be duplicated for $3,000,000 is bonded for $10,000.01)0. The $7,000,000, or the surplus over the cost of the road, is a mortgage upon the license. In order to pay the In terest upon the mortgage they levy a tax upon the people, and the people are com pelled to pay that tax, and for this pur pose taxgatherers are placed upon every car. These taxgatherers are' generally gathering taxes for foreign bondholders, whose only Interest in your cltv Is to see to it that the tax Is promptly collected and quickly remitted. The evil began when the camel was permitted to tint his head under the tent. When authority to mort gage was given there should have been a sperlal declaration that so mortgage could he executed except upon the prop erty actually placed by thejeompany in the city. We would not theti have been confronted by the ancient anil respectable doctrine of vested rights, wlich. in this rase, simply means rights ol which the people were divested whlleYthey slept and while their servants sold them out. The remedy, the speaker Continued, was two-fold: either to establish com peting lines with low fares o to buy- up the oia ones ana start overvon an honest basis. There is a liberap pinch of pepper In what follows: Plngree Grows Caustic. The Idea that all legitimate private husi ness is subject to competition and that those who have received public grants for public uses should have exclusive rights Is preposterous. New roads can pe built and passengers can be carried at ta. cost of less than $ cents enrh. A S-eeat fare la a reasonable fare. The only thirty; that stands between the people and this plan Is the fact that a trust has nearly always been formed between the owners of the present roads and the aldermen or cotincllmen. This trust was formed upon the basis or mutual self-protection an the sharing of proms, i would not advi any of you. if you are sensitive and easll discouraged, to attempt to break the trust. because If you do it will attack you at every .oil)t. The llrst epithets applied to you will be mild ones. such as pdpulUts. If this does not answer the purpose you will be called socialists, and if you are nut entirely driven from the Held of the pub lic domain the llnal argument against you will be that you are anarchists. A .'heap and vulgar method of attack upon you. if you seek to carry a practical reform Into politics, will tie that you are demagogues. You can devise all sorts of schemes for reforming your friend, neighbor, or cous in, or his man servant, or his maid ser vant, or the stranger that is within his gates. hut you must not enter the sacred precincts where the public plunderers are playing a high-toned game with marked cards and loaded dice, and demand that they show their hands, l'nlesa your health is good and your courage is above par and you come from a stock thut has expecta tion of long life, whatever desire you may have for sport, you had better keep near the s-hores of the duck ponds nn l fish for minnows and not venture out where the whales and the sharks are sporting. In pome cities, the speaker admitted, a remedy seemed almost Impossible. "The city of New York, where the origi nal Jake Sharp had his day. Is a notable example. A franchise was given In that city for 1.000 years. The aldermen who sold It received $20,000 apiece. The man who bought it was sent to the peniten tiary. "Was the franchise declared void or fraudulent? Not at all. Somebody had obtained some vested rights. A contract had been made and you know it would not do to wreck the constitu tion by Impairing the obligations of a contract. If Jake Sharp had stolen your horse and had sold It. and the man who bought It had sold It again, and it had been sold and bought a thousand times, you could recover It wherever you found It if you could prove that It was your horse. Neither the thief nor the re ceiver could obtain title to a horse stolen in the night time, but he who steals a frunchlse worth millions of dollars In broad daylight, has the title confirmed to him and his heirs and assigns for ever. The thieves die and sleep with their fathers, and the owners of the stock of the road become more and more respectable by receiving a profit of SVi cents upon every S-cent fare." But, "In case the conditions are such that the rates cannot be reduced by competition, the plan of municipal ow nership of tracks can be tried. The peo ple own the streets. The city paves with wood and stone and other mater rlal for the use of ordinary vehicles. No reasonable argument can be urged against the city paving a portion of the streets with Iron for the use of the street cars, which are the people's car riages." The I'ltlmnte Remedy. Mayor Plngree's conclusion Is that the remedy for municipal evils, of which the abuse of franchises is only one, rests with the people and must be applied by them at the caucuses. "Heretofore." said he "the caucuses have been run In the Intercuts of a few. The salvation of municipal government, and of all gov ernment, lies in the people assuming the burden themselves. This right is a vested rieht which no constitution or law can take away. The children of the nation attend schools and colleges; millions of dollars are spent In their support. What are these schools worth, unless the children are taught the true republican doctrine of self-government? After they are taught they must act for themselves. We have national codes and state codes and municipal codes by the ton. We need a few more. A prac tical primary-election law is more Im portant than all the rest. The law should provide that no man should vote at a general elec tion who does not vote at the primary election. The days on which elections are held should be legal holidays, and a flue should be imposed upon every citizen who does not have Interest enough in the city In which he lives to spend ten minutes once a year to tuke part In Its government." ARCHIBALD The funeral of the late Peter Probst, who died on Wednesday morning, took place on Friday afternoon. Funeral services were held In the Evangelical Lutheran church at which the pastor. Rev. Mr. Lehman, paid fitting tribute to the memory of the deceased. The remuln were Interred In the Protestant cemetery. The heavy rain of Thursday made great havoc In some portions of the town and on Pine street particularly Its destructive' work was evident. The drain running through the lots on the easterly Bide of the street was not large enough to carry off the great amount of water that sought the chan nel and It flowed over the lots and Into the neighboring cellars and did a great deal of damage. Another cause of uneasiness while the lain lasted was the water lodged In the abandoned workings of the Delaware and Hud son company at the culm pile in the rear of St. Thomas' church. A large amount of water has accumulated there during the last fifteen years and it was feared that It would burst its confines. Fortunately this did not hap pen. It Is said that the Delaware and Hud son company will soon begin to build a culm breaker near the site of the pres ent office of the company. The coal wasted In the old will be conveyed to the new breaker and will there be pre pared for market. In time the un sightly culm heap that now disfigures the landscape behind the Catholic church may be consumed In this way. This pile is one of the oldest In this region and It contnlns a great deal of coal that may yet be marketed. The fair of St. Thomas' congregation reopened on Saturday night and was well attended. It will continue until Thursday night. A fine programme has been arranged for each night. Charter Application.
