Aoalnst paid Commissioners

month had better be left to the commits
sioners themselves.
Against Paid Commissioners
As to the salaries for the commission
ers, 1 believe the city will get better re-
suits from the services of good citizens
unpaid and merely directing the work Of
reliable experts than by paying salary
of $1,000 a year.
This ordinance puts the appointment OF
the commissioners in the hands of the
council. The Wallace substitute makes
the mayor the appointive power. with the
council confirming. The latter plan Is in
exact accordance with the charter; the
former is an innovation the reason for
which does not appear. Formerly all COM
missions were appointed by the council,
but In 1902 the people adopted, by large
majority, charter amendments transferring
this function to the mayor. Your ordi-
nance disregards the peoples expressed
wish. Equally Objectionable is the plan
embodied In your ordinance by which your
honorable body is enabled to appoint the
majority Of the commissioners for three
years in advance, thus forestalling tht
prerogative and the responsibility of your
successors in office.
BY your plan one commissioner goes out
in June, 1910, one in June, 1911, and one in
June, 1912 True. you have suggested in
your ordinance some excellent timber but
one of your appointees has already de-
clined; three others are out of town. and
are probably unaware of the use of their
names; we have no assurance as to
the ultimate makeup of the commission.
Yet your honorable body, now within a
few weeks OF the end of your term, ap-
points to cover the entire period of your
successors-as far as a majority of the
commission is oncerned-and even one
fourth of the term Of your successors
successors. 1t surely cannot be the Sc
rious purpose of your honorable body to
so far violate all the precedents Of our
CITY administration.

Important omIttanee

1neTe are TWO features OF Ine MaIACe
measure that are entirely omitted from
the ordinance sent me for signature, and
they are in my judgment. of the highest
Importance to the public welfare, AS they
were definitely before your honorable body
through Mr.. Wallace's motion, seconded
by Mr. Wren, I find great difficulty in
comprehending the cause of their omis-
sion. The first is the provision that the
commission shall, during the days that
follow the request for a franchise, make
an investigation into the wisdom of grant
ing 1t and report its conclusions to the
council. Note that the commission is
given no power OF veto. Its function is
purely advisory. The purpose is, I take
It. to insure greater publicity and bet
ter general understanding of franchises
and to prevent their being put through
under cover and in haste-as the famous
river bed franchise was put through by
your predecessors. l can see no reason
why your honorable body should have OBJ
jected to a provision OF this kind clearly
designed for the protection Of the legiti-
mate rights of the people.
Not only was this provision shut out Of
your ordinance but another equally serv-
iceable to the public received like treat
ment, viz, that establishing in this COM
mission a bureau Of complaint and of in
spection OF all public utilities. The Wal
lace ordinance contained a clause of this
description, and it was to be found in
the original draft OF your own ordinance;
but in the ordinance that comes to me all
reference to the street car companies has
been carefully excluded. Why was this
change made? 1 note in the Evening Ex-
press of October 10 an interview with S.
NJ Haskins in which he admits that this
and other changes were made by himself,
and there is in existence the original Of
the ordinance presented by Councilman
Dromgold with this and other changes
made in Mr. Haskins' own handwriting
1t Is a most extraordinary condition Of
affairs when an ordinance that originates
with the legislative body of the city and
the city attorney is edited and made over
by the attorney Of a special interest be-
fore It is allowed to pass, and by such
editing provisions OF the utmost impor-
tance TO the public welfare cut out

Western Slope Railroads.

inaugurated a movement by the com
mercial clubs of Paonia to secure the

That Western Colorado will shortly
have those two new lines of railroad

a party of Pittsburg capitalists are be-

will be privately owned, and will reach

financing is well under way. There is
also a fruit acreage available there
that will be made immensely valuable
by the advent of the new railroad.

Oil Case
INCLUDES CORPORATION MEASURE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. %. =
President Taft today began the prepare,
ton of the first of his special messages
to Congress.
This message will deal with the
amendments which be believes are neces-
sary in the interstate commerce and
Sherman antitrust acts. Recent reports
to the contrary Notwithstanding, 1t Isl
known that the President will take up
the antitrust act, and deal with it at
great length. He will also bring forward
his ideas as to issuing federal licenses to
corporations. The proposed license will
be a voluntary one, to be taken advant-
age OF by such corporations as desire to
piace themselves under federal juriSdic
ton, or left alone as the directors Of the
corporations see fit.
Will Not Wait for Oil Case.
1t had been currently reported for
some time that President Taft might
delay his antitrust recommendations I'M
til the supreme court had finally passed
upon the recent Standard Oil decision.
Those to whom the President had talked
within the last day or two say how
ever, he has decided to go forward with
his Legislative programme regardless of
the pending decision, and having deter
mined that any changes are needed III
the antitrust law he will proceed to
recommend these changes without re-
gard to the Standard Oil case.
Some of the leaders of the Senate and
House have argued that pending a de-
cision IN the Standard Oil case, the Pres
ldent i'll recommending changes might be
put by his political opponents in the light
OF granting a respite or favor to the
corporations, especially in regard to fed
eral charters or license. Mr.. Taft is said
to feel, nevertheless, that his views on
the entire subject have been so fully eX-
pressed in the past and so generally I'M
derstood that he can go ahead without
fear of popular misconstruction.
AS a matter of fact the President is
said to have told his callers that he has
never at any time had any intention of
altering his Legislative programme as out
lined in speeches on his western trip
