SALEM, Feb. 1 (AP) The state supreme court overruled unanimously today n three-year-old public utilities commissioner's order directing the Pacific Tele phone and Telegraph company to reduce its rates J5:i(ir,000 a year in Oregon. The decision upheld a Multnom ah county decision that the rate reduction was discriminatory and confiscatory, violating the 14th amendment to the federal consti tution. Judges Robert Tucker, Juines T. Brand and Hall S. Lusk. wrote the lower court decision. ' The Investigation of the com-, pany's rates was begun in March, 19:tl, hy Charles M. Thomas, then public utilities commissioner. He ordered the rate reduction on Oc tober 11, 1!K14. On .March 1, lit 3 5, while the case was pending In trial court, Frank C. McCulloch replaced Commission er Thomas. The lower court decision perma nently enjoining the public utili ties commissioner fronu enforcing the drder was hunded down March l!t, 1MG, nine months before N. G. Wallace succeeded McCulloch. Profit Rate At Issue , The public utilities commissioner argued that the company was mak ing a VJ'AS profit of .25. per cent on a fair value of $15,900,000 of its Oregon exchange .properties. The coin pan v asserted its profit was only 2.30 per cent on a $24,19,1,011 valuation. The commissioner's 8365.000 rate reduction was designed to reduce the company's revenue to 6 per cent of its investment, while the company wanted higher rates. - , The -lower court found that the company's valuation was $20,790, 000 and that its net revenue dur ing l:t:i was $733,555, $433,164 be low the, commissioner's estimate and $175,494 above the company's figure. The court ruled . that the company should hove a 6 per cent return on its investment and that under the proposed rates it would be only 2 per cent. i i Tax Increase Considered The. high court's decision, writ ten Jiv Justice Hossman, said "we do not believe that the company's condition is so prosperous . . .
