CCHWAB PRINT KG CO SOLICITS YOUR PATRONAGE 2..-7 STARK STREET Portland Railway Light & Power Company BULLETIN No. 17 (Adapted From an Article by Frederick W. Col.urn In "Public Service.") Out of each nickel which the Portland Railway Company collected ln 1908. nearly 2 cents went for labor; more than .14 of a cent was required for power; .64 of a cent took care of repairs and renewals, rolling; stock and other equipment; Interest on bonds took up 1.16 cents; rentals and purchase of real estate, etc., .16 of a cent; damages and legal expenses .16 of a cent; taxes to city and state .19 of a cent; .66 of a cent remained for extraordinary renewals, depreciation and dividends. Five years ago there remained 1.28 cents for this purpose, and it looks as if It is quite time for the stockholder to bestir himself to see at least whether any thing Is necessary to protect his Interest. Aside from the regular charges against each nickel mentioned above tnere was expended ln 190S $90,500 for street improvements, as an derived UP" the carninSs' froin Hl no additional revenue was . ?"!?" 4verage far ner Passenger has dropped from 3.92 cents ln 1905 to 3.77 cents in 190S. due to the. increased use of the transfer privilege.' The upshot of any serious discussion of the crisis In street railway operation would be likely to be to the effect that it devolves very largely upon the public, Including, of course, the large class of stockholders, to determine what they wish to have happen. Present tendencies are clearly beyond engineering and financing skill to alter, without the co-operation of the consumer. Transportation Is a commodity which has become one of the necessities of life ln urban communities. The everyday man who uses the cars is more vitally affected than anybody else in the satisfactory settlement of street railway problems. The capitalist -who has his money invested in urban transportation properties is not obliged to keep his money there. Tr.ere are numerous other op portunities for investment. The operating officials have less to lose since the competent expert Is always reasonably certain of a job either in the same business or in some allied business. The people who suffer most severely from interruption or impairment of the streetcar service are those who have no financial Interest in the securities of the com pany but who are vitally concerned in getting to and trom their work expeditiously, comfortably and inexpensively. The futility of imposing anything that approaches Inordinate taxa tion upon the street railway company should be imparted to the public, in the interest of preserving a proper type of relationship between tha community and the public service corporation. It is remarkable how few citizens of average intelligence and ability appreciate that ln levy ing taxes upon a transportation company they are simply appointing the corporation to serve as tax collector; the money thus collected comes from the public and returns to the public treasury. The same loose thinking which makes many people conceive of the state as an entity separate from the individuals composing it, leads them to think of the corporation as a creature perhaps as an octopus which can In some way be injured or punished by being compelled to pay fines and special taxes; but in all such cases the traveling nubile indirectly pays the bill. Some Portlanders may tell you that our street railway service might ln their opinion, be improved in certain particulars. A majority who have visited other cities will tell you that on the whole Portland has the best streetcar service of any city of like size in the United States and the efforts of the management to Improve still further the service should not be handicapped by useless, pernicious and often vindlctlva legislation. All fair-minded or thinking people who give the matter consideration, will not lend their efforts to make the work of the com pany more trying than the ordinary run of'buslness requires; but will join hands with them in co-operative effort, not only for the welfare of the corporation, but for the best Interests of their rapidly-growing city. ay oiaie rami THE ONLY PAINT MANUFACTURED ON THE PACIFIC COAST COMPLYING WITH THE EASTERN PURE PAINT STATE LAWS Fisher, Thorsen & Co.
