ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE.

For some years the Southern Pacific Com
pany has acted upon this text Ithas asked
aud as rule it has received. The practice
of giving has been so uniform that there is
doubt in some official quarters if the power
of refusal lies anywhere. The modest re-
quest of the Southern Pacific Company for
the closing of certain streets in the southern
part of the city, that the company may Sc
cure the use OF solid block of ground ex-
tending from its present offices on Fourth
and Townsend streets TO Seventh street.
will probably test the extent Of the willing
ness OF the people TO give to that company
The streets most seriously affected are
Fifth, Sixth and Seventh. Ii the request of
the Southern Pacific Company Is complied
with every front foot Of property in these
three streets from the closed line TO Market
street will be affected. Each of the three
streets will become a kind of cul de sac
People going south viii find line at which
they must diverge either east or west as the
case may be. There are several millions of
dollars worth Of property .the market value
OF which will be impaired by the closing Of
these three streets. If there were a propo-
sition before the Board Of Supervisors to
take mzproperty-owners on these streets
one-tenth OF their possessions without COM
pensation it would receive no support.
IL the moral sense OF the Supervisors did
not rise up against 1t they would have no
trouble in finding In the constitution of the
United States provision bearing directly
upon the proposition. This provision reads
as follows: Nor shall private properly be
taken for public use without just eompensa-
tion," and may be found in the fifth article
Of the constitution. The Supervisors will
have no trouble in reaching the conclusion
that Ii private property may not be taken
for public uses without just compensation,
1t certainly may not be taken for private
uses. nor even for semipublic uses. The
clause we have quoted would certainly pre-
vent the seizure Of a single foot Of land
without just compensation to be deter
mined by ordinary process of law, but there
are probably men who will claim that there
Is difference between Selling one-tenth of
mans landed possessions outright and in
selling ten per cent Of the value OF the
whole. 1t makes no difference whether it is
ten per cent. five per cent or one per cent.
The power does not lie in the Board of SUI
peryisors to perform an official act which,
without the consent of the property
holders, shall deprive them of the natural
use and value OF their property. 1t is no
worse to take a mans property from him
then to render 1t valueless. And the prin-
ciple Is the same whether property is
rendered entirely valueless or partially so.
The morning call., 1892-11-12
ALL VERY RICH.

The Alameda Statesman refers to the re-
port that Mr.. Huntington has acquired an
iron mountain and steel works in Durango,
Mexico. and concludes that Mr. Huntington's
complaint that the Southern Pacific does
not pay dividends is not well grounded
'The Southern Pacific magnates," says the
Statesman, 'are all very rich" A railroad
company can forego dividends on capital
stock when bonds to double the amount of
the cost of its road have been Issued and are
paying interest. This Is the personal con-
dition Of the Southern Pacific Company.
Its bonded Indebtedness Is much in excess
of the cost of its roads and interest on the
excess OF bonds is one of the Items OF fixed
expenses which must be provided for at
whatever cost. 1t is easy to see, therefore,
why the .magnates of the Southern Pacific
Company are all very rich without dlvi-
dends from stock which has cost them
nothing. The public is the party to be
clncbed. Railroad rates are fixed at figure
which will provide money to pay interest
On the bonds without regard to the cost of
the road. The next Legislature, however,
Is likely to have word to say about rail-
rnad ratau
