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.

to pay one cent into the federation.
