PIHGREE'S PUNGENT IDEAS
Synopsis of in Interesting Speech
by Detroit's Mayor.
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.
