STEPHENS AGAIN
GIVES STAND

H. M. Stephens, attorney in the
famous rate case, when interro-
gated this morning as to the FEAST
bility and practicability of the rail
roads accepting a terminal rate
franchise, said:
Il reiterate that which I have
many times said. that there is no
legal or practical reason why the
railroads cannot accept franchises
with terminal rate provisions.
ANY decision by the interstate
commerce commission will require
readjustment of rates at least
from st. Paul west. The rates from
ST. Paul west are the ones which
receive excessive rates that are
paid by this city and the Inland
Empire.
Il wish that you would inform
the public that my course in this
matter has been determined and is
followed by reason of the facts and
the law as | have learned them in
connection with the freight rate
case. l feel so thoroughly convinced
that terminal rates to Spokane and
the Inland Empire would be equit-
able and just that they ought to be
secured by any means that are
legal or legitimate"

why NOT THAT
SPECIAL ELECTION?

! do not either think the railroad
money is by any means exhausted
yet.
They say such an election would
not be legal. We think it would or
could be made so. But assume that
it would not be, in the words of the
lawyers, of legal and binding eff
feet" yet our council has uneQuiv-
ocally pledged itself to abide by the
will of the people, as expressed at
such an election. Does the railroad
committee doubt the councils sim
cerity?
Our committee, on the other
hand. has always said that we
would unhesitatingly and gracefully
yield to the will of the majority, but
we, like the council, are in mood
where we want to be shown.
Certainly the labor unions would
not be opposed to such procedure,
for they have always stood for the
principle of the initiative and refer
endum. of which this is but an ap-
plication.
Such an election should be con-
Quoted just like an election for the
park bonds, for instance, and with
all of the safeguards of a regular
election against repetition. influ-
ence or other improper practices.
In the meantime, if such an cleo
ton is determined upon. there are
many of us who will welcome the
opportunity to assist in showing
what are the real issues--and their
Importance to this community. Peo-

CREMAT0RY
SHAKE Up

A shakeup in the crematory de-
partment was impending this after
noon. Pat Harmon, head foreman,
and Harry Wyburn, head stable
man, were called on the carpet be-
fore the board of public works and
mayor at 1870 to learn why 1t is
that they have demanded an in
crease of wages.
At the city hall the meeting Is
regarded as the finish of Harmon
and Wyburn. c. D. Harmon, the
superintendent, who Is no relation
Of Pat, was also called, to give testi-
mony in the case.
Pat Harmon says that his offense
is asking the current scale of
wages, SO per day, for eight hours,
which the city ordinance gives. He
has been working IL to IA hours
at $2.75. The men under him get
paid for overtime and make from
SIS to $37 per month more than
Pat, which makes the latter think
it is not a fair shake, as he has the
responsibility while the other men
get the pay.
Wyburn says that he works IL
hours, which is a violation Of the
city charter. For this he gets but
$2.75.
A general shake up in the crema-
tory department is looked for to
follow.

SPOKANE, April ITO the Pub
lie: The railroad committee (alias
the citizens committee) states that
they have at the lowest 10000 vot-
ers. and estimated as high as $4,000
voters, who ARE solidly opposed to
the position of the council" If that
is true, why the reluctance of the
railroads to submit the matters to
the voters?
The only desired effect Of such a
showing would be to afford the
council an expression of the popular
will, and so influence the council to
recede from its position. But can
anyone doubt that a popular cleo
ton would be more efficient
means of obtaining that expression
of feeling?
We do not ourselves believe that
there is any such proportion of vot-
ers who feel that wayne have too
much confidence in the good sense
and judgment of the people. Then,
too, We know of many who, through
a refined coercion or undue influ-
ence have signed the railroad petit
ton, but whose secret vote would
be contrary. Some of the names of
those who have quietly so ex-
pressed themselves to us would
startle even as optimistic a body as
the railroad committee.
Certainly this reluctance to SUBJ
NIT the matter to a popular vote
cannot be due to lack of funds
the committee has already spent
more in postage stamps and solicit
ors alone than would pay the total
expense of such an election. We

A CHARTER
ELECTION

Members of the charter commits
sion will meet in a few days to
consider ways and means of get
ting the question of an election of
an official charter committee be-
fore the people.
The pigeon-holing of the matter
by the city council has been taken
as the final action by that body and
now the appeal will be to the peo-
pie. The calling of the election can
be forced by petition, and this
will be the first plan tried.
With a majority Of the commit
tee the feeling is that this is the
logical moment to strike for better
conditions at the city hall, and to
secure this there will be demand
for a new charter and new set of
officials.
