The Canuten At Harrisburr

THE P. r. r. is dependent for success OF
l. the progress and growth Of Philadelphia
Its interests are the city's interests. 1t can.
not hamstring Philadelphia without ham
stringlng itself.
It is exasperating to good citizens that this
great company should send a representative
to Harrisburg to plead that law enacted 50
years ago is now complete barrier to rapid
transit in Philadelphia, a law incidentally,
which prohibited the construction of rail-
road on or along Broad street. as was
right but which plainly did not contemplate
in it's prohibition a railroad under Broad
street Underground railroads were not then
known. And 1t must have been humiliating
to the p. r. T. TO be attacking the legality
Of project to which It itself had agreed in
way was the most important feature of the
plan which the p r. r. officials told Director
Taylor they would accept
The second objection urged by the P. r.
T., that an act of 1873 insures the 18th and
18th street lines against competition on Broad
street, is equally surprising No Government
can barter away in perpetuity inherent rights.
No contract can retain its validity If its ef-
feet is to make country village of a great
city. 1t Is humiiating that a progressive
corporation should search the statute books
for ancient paragraphs in which it struggles
to discover some technical objection to the
achievement of the desires of two millions of
people.
The third objection of the p. r. T., re-
lating to supposed 9O-day option on the
right to build necessary lines, is futile, for 1t
is a matter Of record that the p. r. T. speci-
fically surrendered the right to construct
Broad street subway, and there is good rea-
son to believe that it also specifically surren-
dered It's option on the Frankford elevated.
Certainly. at any rate, the company cannot
claim an option on Broad street subway
when 1t is contemporaneousy alleging that
the construction of such line is legally i'm
possible. 1t is wrong in one contention or
the other and probably in both.
New York's 6S3 miles Of rapid transit track,
Chicago's 275 and Boston's SO are sufficient
answer as to whether not subways and
elevated lines are necessary in Philadelphia.
Nor is there any claim that they are not neo-
essary The obstructionists have given up
the fight along those lines as hopeless. They
have fastened their eyes on the statute books
and on the technicalities of law, trusting that
in some way they may be able to keep an
iron collar on Phlladelphia's throat, suffo-
cate the community and put an absolute
veto on progress. They may be able to de-
lay the beginning of construction for short
time. But they are Canutes sweeping back
the sea when they endeavor to stand between
two millions of people and their necessities
There will be rapid transit in Philadelphia,
preferably with the assistance of the p r.
T., but rapid transit anyhow.
