All concerns mam which the people are dependent for light, heat, water, tr.iiisiMirtatioii or communication owe a duty to tha public. Such concerns should not tie allowed to cause the public to suffer because of their Ixdng unwilling to make reasonable concessions to their workingmen. I have sometimes thought that In the event of trouble the labor and capital engaged in oieratlng such concerns, that after a reasonable time had been given for a settlement of the dispute the law ought so to be that the state might step In and operate the business, furnishing the output to the public at the cost of production until such time as capital and labor might agree.

Uiuiuciluiitii F. J. Heiulerxhot introduced an ordinance at the meeting of the city council on February 17, 1902, providing for tlie construction of a viaduct across the tracks on lower Twenty-fifth street. It was referred to the committee on railroads and on March 3d that committee reported to the council that it lie not adopted. Tho council immediately adopted the committee's report and thus the ordinance was killed. On August 4th of last year the mayor sent a communication to the council stating that they had passed an ordl-nic- e providing for tlie construction of the viaduct but that he had vetoed It. The statement Is absolutely false. The records prove that the only ordinance ever introduced on the subject during this administration was that drafted by Councilman Hendershot and which met tlie fate above. In this comiium lent Ion the mayor made some suggest Ions nlsiut the vla-du- et and the document wns referred to the committee on railroads. So far aa the record shows it Is still In tlie pigeon hole of that committee, for the matter hns never since been mentioned in the council. These facts demonstrate the Hnxiety of the administration to construct the vladucL In the ineuntlme Councilman Hendershot had charged Ills colleagues hs being moral cowards" because of their refusal to pass the ordinance. They retaliated on him by passing a vote of censure severely rebuking him for having the audacity to describe them us he did.
