In anoearlng before the council Mr. Cousins outlined the actions ot the commission In fixing the new schedule of rates and the storm of protest which resulted throughout the state. Tbe city of Portland immediately took steps for a rehearing, he stated, but it was soon realized that this was a state-wide affair and consequently It was deemed advisable to secure the backing of tbe people of the en tire state. In order to centralize and group tire efforts of the various organiza tions, federations, etc., that were takes In nearly all the state. Its purpose is to gather informa tion, showing why the new rates are unjust and why they should be re vised and lowered. Statistics rela tive to the various exchangea thru out the state have been obtained and a general outline will be placed be fore the commission. It It necessary that we go before the commission with an organization representing all ot Oregon," Mr. Cousins said. "The recall failed and the commission very probably be lieves that It failed because the peo ple of Oregon were not sufficiently interested In the new rates to take any action. They feel that public opinion means nothing and that pub lic sentiment against the Increased rates which may be applied qulckl; dies out and that In fact it Is now dead. For this reason we must go before the commission with suffi cient strength to show that the peo ple whom the public service commis sion was elected to serve demand and expect certain things to be done.
