PUBLIC FRANCHISES.

A number of franchises are being
asked for in the Legislature Gas, tele-
phone, street car and electric light COM
panies are all asking the privilege of
using our streets for their private
profit, but, so far as we know, not one
of them proposes to pay anything for
the privilege.
1t should be laid down as a funda-
mental proposition that no franchise to
tear up the street or erect poles or
wires therein shall be granted except
upon payment of full value for the priv
ilege.
We want revenue; then tax every
franchise using the streets percentage
of its receipts, as rent for such USE
The principle is almost universally
recognized in England and Europe 1t
is rapidly extending in the United
states. It has already been establish
ed here.
The Honolulu Electric Light Com
pany pays two and one-half per cent
of its gross receipts to the Government
and the Rapid Transit charter allows
It's stockholders only eight per cent on
its capital, all the surplus to go to the
Government.
The precedent is a good one to fol-
low.

cure sufficient flags to supply every point
on the island devoted to educational pur-
poses.
