"ML0 WHARF FRANCHISE.
Territorial officials have tho most
peculiar way of letting the people In
to their confidence,
Superintendent Campbell and tho
(governor declare that then) hns been
nothing sub-rosa regarding the wharf
franchise proposed jto be granted to
the illlo Hallway, but not until this
morning, when tho B u 1 1 0 1 i n asked
1 for it, have these ofneers or any oth-
, , era seen fit to volunteer to the public
, thrilugli the newspapers tho complete
text of tho franchise. And the Bui-
tln is Informed that the deal has
gone so far toward completion that
one copy of the franchise already had
the'slgnature of the Superintendent of
Public Works.
" The method la the ancient one of
letting the public know of public bus
iness if it happens to ask, rather than
voluntarily offering for tho widest
possible discussion tho details of any
proposed official action granting val
uable rights and privileges that are
within the gift of tho people.
.This latest discovery calls to mind
the. history of the land law intend
ments, when the chief executive
thought' be was following good pub
lic policy by drafting an act, ffblle
away from tho Ttrrltory, and placing
"before congress a did rcgaraing mo
Territory knew nothing,
Just what this llllo wharf license
means to the people of thevo Islands,
to Just what extent tho Territory will
by this franchise turn over thn valu
able water front privileges to .1 pri
vate corporation and plaro the people
at the mercy of a railway, cannot bo
figured out by a cursory rending of
tho franchise.
It Is known that changes in this
proposed llcenKo were iimdo 'or the
further protection of tho public
through the protesta niTcrcd by busi
ness men satisfied tint tho Territory
Kan, through Its executive oKlrlals,
granting what amounts to ctciuho
control of a vnluable section of the
public wntcrfront.
Of course the people und?r3tnnd
fully that the 11(10 Hallway U prim
arily n philanthropic institution. Sug
gestions to- this effect woro Inferred
by Genornl Manager Thurston when
I.o'hrgucd that the Inter-State Com
merce laws ho extended to our water
transportation. ' ' '
But whnt the people want to Know
Is whero they get off when tile Illlo
I Hall tray If t fchould ,,asa nt0 the
control of selfish persons has r.bso
lutcly control of tho approach to this
proposed wharfJ
The people arc Interested In wheth
er they will. bo obliged to pay tribute
to n prlvato corporation for tho iso
of their own waterfront
The prospective small farmer" Is l
ally Interested In knowing whether he
can drive his team onto tho tfhni'f
probably the only wharf for Mine
years to come nnd get his produre,
or'rnusvby virtue of the rnllwny' con
trol of. tho approaches, pay trlbiito to
the rallwny for the landing of his
goods, the storage of his goods !
they happen to remain moro than foi
iy-elght hours, nnd tho transportation
of his goods off that wharf.
Furthermore the peoplo want to
,HW .why Territorial o'Dclnla should
J he luixlmixito grunt M vMualile
prR llegju JiP L'rlvato Interesta and nl
low two yearn fur the acceptance of
turo Is to meet within the next rar
and would then, with nil the facts be
fore It, be in n position to act ndvis
edly on the construction of the wharf
as a public wharf, operated as well as
built by and for the public.
Why this seeming haste?
Why tho failure to put tho whole
matter before tho public before any
protest was made?
Why not let the legislature have n
chance within the next nine months
slnco tho private corporation Is to bo
allowed two yoars lu which to mako
up Us mind?
Public control of privately con
structed public works hns been rec
ognized as having luany good feat
ures. But it would uppcar from tho
reading of tho propobed franchlso that
not n dollar'B worth of frelgnt over
and ubovo that ordinarily allowed pat
scngers, can pass onto or' over that
wharf without paying tribute to the
private corporation; furthermore not
a pound of freight can bo taken off
that wharf without It Is hauled by tho
Interests controlling the approach to
tho wharf, namely tho railroad.
One of tho difficulties of tho hinall
shipper today Is that he must pay
tribute to private owners of lanJIngs.
This illlo wharf franchise looks
on the face of It as If the prlvnto
landing trouble was to be handed u
to llllu on a large scale,
