Billiards ARE WAKING
UP THE EAST LATELY

Portland Oregonian:-
The old saying, "It's an ill wind that
blows nobody good" is true of the
series of billiards which froze the
east in January, caused shortage OF
fuel which cost many lives, and tied
up ships, railroads and industries. The
blizzards awakened the whole coun-
try to the urgent necessity of devel-
oping waterpower as a substitute for
coal. Newspapers in all parts Of the
country and of all shades of political
opinions have Joined in the denuncia-
ton of the waste of not using the
energy of our streams and in a demand
that laws be passed which will en-.
courage development of our water
power. Discussion hitherto has been
continuous debate between western
people, who demanded that the dead
hand of Pinchotism be lifted from
their power sites, and certain doctrin-
aires and demogogues, who proclaim
ed that there were millions in it,
which q power trust conjured up by
their imaginations must not be permit
ted to grab. The winters experience
has caused the people to take part in
the debate and to insist that obstacles
to power development be removed and
without delay, no matter how.
The east has paid dearly for listen
ing to Pinchot, and is ready to tall

is no longer possible to attract new
capital for the efficient operation OF the
properties In the Interest OF the public.
These facts lead inevitably to the con-
eluson that the present relationship
between the companies and the public,
as evidenced by existing franchises
with fixed rates OF fare, is economically
unsound; that the present system OF
regulating fares by franchises or COM
missions is admittedly not sufficiently
responsive 10 violent and radical
changes In operating conditions Under
the present system, before the company
can Justify an increase Of its fare, II
must first show that for a longer or
shorter period it has suffered loss
under the existing fare. which loss can
not be compensated for by the new
rate. In any other business the pru-
dent manager is able to provide against
Increases in cost by promptly adyanc-
ing his selling price.
The electric railways must stagger
along under the cent fare for months
until It's credit is destroyed, It's service
impaired, its equipment deteriorated,
and IL has become obvious TO the COM
munlty that IL is on the brink Of de
structlon, before It's case has been suf-
flclently made out to Justify an increase
In its rate.
The declaration OF war found the
electric railways thoroughly unpre-
pared for the problems thrust upon
them. Without In any way lessening our
efforts TO win the war by supplying
this essential service to the public, II
would seem to be the part OF wisdom
for us 10 take up for serious considera-
tion. the problems OF peace.
OF all the problems OF readiustment
which this nation will have TO meet and
solve after the war, none Will be more
serious or more difficult that that OF the
electric railway industry. In the light
OF our experience as emphasized by war
conditions, II is manifest that TO insure
the efficient operation OF the electric
OF the country after the war,
there must be recastlng OF the entire
basis OF the relationship existing be-
tween the electric railways and the
they serve.
In many cases electric railway fran
chlses. which had come to be considered
rs valuable assets in the light OF recent
experience, have been proved TO be liza
bilities. Already there is growing
recognition OF this fact in different
parts OF the country, as evidenced by
the operation at cost" plans recently
adopted In Boston, Chicago and Gin
cinnatl.
In the past the sole interest OF the
has been thought TO be in

sr conception Of the underlying prob
ems involved, there is a growing ten

Franchise Relationship Between
Rd lWays and Communities

Address OF Philip II. Gadsden, chair
man OF the National Committee on Pub
lie Utility Conditions, and resident
Washington member or the War Board
OF the American Electric Railway Asso-
citation, delivered at the annual meeting
OF the Electric Railway War Board In
New York city. on Friday, November 1,
1918, at the Railways Association Offices,
No. West Fortleth street.
The whole structure OF the franchise
relationship between electric railways
and the various communities has broken
down under the strain OF the war. The
rapid Increase In the cost OF all mate
rial, and extraordinary demands OF
labor, made necessary by the rise In the
cost OF living, the alarming decrease in
the purchasing power OF the nickel,
have brought the electric railways OF
this country face TO face with bank
ruptcy.
Practically every other industry ex-
cept public utilities, whose rates are
regulated by law, has been able readily
to adjust It's method OF doing business
to meet the war demands and the radl-
cal increase I'm the cost OF operations
and OF manufactures have been prompt
ly reflected In the selling price, and so
passed on 10 the consumer. In all other
departments OF our commercial and in
dustrlal life where the economic laws
OF supply and demand have been un-
hampered and allowed free play, the
inevitable increase In the cost OF pro-
duction has been taken care OF in the
perfectly normal way Of increased cost
to the consumer.
Ic In In
the public has attempted 10 1x a Just
and fair price for service rendered and
where the artificial standard has been
substituted for the natural one, that
we find this complete breakdown under
war conditions.
Industry generally was never so pros
porous, Notwithstanding the increase in
the cost Of labor and material. The
public utilities, and especially the cleo
trio railways, present practically the
only exception to this rule OF prosper
ity. They, on the contrary, are stead
lily being destroyed by the war.
A tabulation OF 3S8 electric railways,
representing over 63 per cent. OF the
electric mileage Of the United States,
shows a falling of in income OF so per I
cent. for the first six months OF 1918, /
as compared with the corresponding
period Of last year. Many OF the com
panies are facing an actual operating
deficit in spite Of the increase in gross
receipts. The scale OF wages established (
by the National War Labor Board in /
cases already decided, when applied TO
the industry generally, will add over
Si0O000,000 to its already increased op-
Grating expenses.
As a consequence of the rapidly
cost OF operation and the
steadily declining net income, the
financial standing OF the electric rail-
ways has been seriously affected, and IL

From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
This republic was born out Of the
noble and victorious travail against
taxation without representation. To-
day its more than 100000 popula-
tion, helpless under the legislative
rule of the Solid South, is sectlOnally
taxed billions and billions of dollars
a year. Yet the right OF the 100000
600 TO representation is denied by the
President OF the United States.
kitchin Of Scotland Neck, North Car

that the taxes shall fall north Of Mason
and Dixon's line. Kitchin Of Scotland
Neck, North Carolina, takes toll OF
everybody and everything north OF
Mason and DixOn's line TO the limit.
Kitchin Of Scotland Neck, North Caro-
lima, hunts prosperity and enterprise
and business north Of Mason and Dix
on's line as If they were wild game.
Kitchln is of the Solid South oil
garchy, representing i3 per cent OF the
enfranchised population Of the whole
country, which makes spoils Of the
savings and the earnings Of the other
81 per cent Of the country. The aver
age vote of the elected Representative
in the South four years ago was a.
5li. The average vote Of the elected
Representative in the North four years
ago was 1891. But the Solid South is
supreme in our legislative government.
The only way the 81 per cent can re-
gain its right of taxation with repre-
sentation is 10 throw Kftchin out OF
the Craftsmanship Of the Ways and
Means Committee and the Solid South
out OF its possession OF the House Of
Representatives. Every voter in the
United States can vote, in his own dis
