Harry L., Meyer of Terry was in the
city yesterday searching for a family
of cotton pickers. Mr. Meyer asserts
that the situation will shortly become
serious in his section. - *
"It is no trouble to raise cotton out
there." said Mr. Meyer yesterday in
discussing the proposition, "but it is
sometimes awfully hard to get it
picked. A great deal of cotton went
to waste last year and while some of
the farmers have eliminated cotton en-
tirely this year for that reason, yet
there is a good sized crop out there
and pickers must be had. I await the
Invention of a successful cotton picker
with much interest."

As to franchises granted before the

were, so far as I know, recommended.
I do not mean to say that it was any
more the duty of the mayor to recom-
mend such amendment than it was the
duty of any alderman to advocate it.
It may be the mayor considered it but
knew so well the state of mind of the
aldermen at that time as to make him

Mayor Harris has filed with the city
secretary a communication addressed to
the city council wherein he sets forth
his attitude on the proposition to sub-
mit to the people at the next general
election an amendment to the franchises
recently granted to the Northern Texas
Traction company, covering trackage
rights over various street* of the city.
The communication outlines the stand
which Mayor Harris took when the pe-
titions for the franchises were first
presented to the council.
In this connection it may be stated
that a report has been freely circulated
since the last session of the city coun-
cil, when precipitate action was taken
in the premises, that it was the inten-
tion of Mayor Harris to delay action
relative to the amendment proposition
until such time as the traction com-
pany might proceed with construction
operations to a limit precluding recon-
sideration and withdrawal. Mayor Har-
ris, before the election to determine the
granting of the franchises, freely an-
nounced it as his intention to submit a
tax amendment to the city council for
Indorsement, the said amendment to be
later submitted to the people. There
was no effort, according to Mayor Har-
ria, to conceal his intention, and after
hla purpose free presented to the trac-
tion company officials one of the com-
pany’s representatives visited the mayor
and the latter announced that he had
nothing to conceal and readily recited
his intentions.
Learning that the mayor intended to
bring before the council the mafter of
amending the franchisee so as to include
the tax provision, and submit them to a
referendum vote, the Northern Texas
Traction company nresented at the last
meeting of the council a communication
to the effect that it would not take ad-
vantage of the recent franchises granted
unless the council assured the company
that no franchise tax amendment would
be Inserted in the ordinances. After
much discussion the council finally
adopted a resolution to the effect that
the franchise tax question would not be
submitted.
Notwithstanding the action of the
council, Mayor Harris has filed the fol-
lowing communication:
Sept. 27010*.°Fo1he City Council:
Gentlemen—I hereby reepectrully sub-
mit for your consderation the ques-
tion as to whether you. an the repre-
sertetive of the people of the city,

in* right to build on Jennings avenue.

chief amendment I wish to aucxeat la

pany to the city for the use of the

It has been held that the operation
of a street car on a street imposes no
burden on the property of the abuttiae
property owners each as would enti-
tle the said property owners to com-
pensation. but it has never been held
and will not be that the occupying- of
a public treet with a atreet car line
doe, not impone a burden upon the
atreet itself. The very nature of it
requires that the travel in the usual
modes of travel shall give way to the
street car company in many respects.
The street cars must run upon certain
tracks and in passing, the private ve-
hicle must of necessity, surrender the
space where the cars run. For this

shoula Wot Get Nervous.
This is not a question over which
any member of the council should get
nervous. To do so or affect to be so is
not characteristic of the true spirit
of a deliberative body. If a person
were the agent and partisan supporter
and advocate of the corporation ap-
plying for a charter it would even
then be unseemly to get nervous when
the question of what ought to be done
is approached. Where a person is not
such agent and advocate but is the
representative of the people’s rights it
is more than unseemly to display par-
tisan feeling. Some shortsighted per-
son might suggest that if the people
should at the next election vote an
amendment that it would be be unfair
advantage of the street car company,
which had already expended its money
in laying its traeks.
But such person should remember
that the party applying for a fran-
chise does so with notice that on
amendment may be submitted. It has
that notice at the time it makes its
application and refuses to include in
the application any offer of compen-
sation for its franchises. The people
would be. Indeed, in hard lines if
wholly without authority to require
the just and equitable thing in the or-
dinances as applied for in the first
instance, and also wholly powerless to
get an amendment, after granted, by
reason of the fact that the city council
would pretend to put the construction
on the law that it would be retrospec-
tive to vote an amendment at the time
provided by law that it may be sub-
mitted.
I do not stop to argue to you the
question of the advisability or justice
of exacting a per cent of the gross
earnings in the particular instancee
now before us. That is a matter for
the people. It would be your privilege
to advocate which ever side of -that
question you should severally please.
But I do insist that you should not
forestall the action of your constit-
uents by refusing to let them pass- in
their sovereign capacity—upon a ques-
tion that affects their own rights and
relates to a grant of rights of way
over and an easement in their own
property—the public highway of the
at $500, $400, and $3-50. T"V
