THE g
ussnrn
ed that the Eastern Oregon Co-operat
ive Telephone company was ruining its
business by its low competitive rates,
that it was sapping the cream of the
service in Union county, and that it
was operating its lines, which served
Elgin, Summerville, Cove and Union
at a loss to itself,' that its wires and
equipment were not of as good ma
terial as those of the plaintiff com
pany, . The defendant company replied
that it was entirely satisfied with the
returns it was receiving, that the tele
phone system was a mutual and co
operative concern and was intended to
give, its patrons a cheap ' srvire.
But the railroad commission finds
this service is being given too cheaply.
It finds that a company cannot volun
tarily operate at a loss to itself and
ruin to its competitor. The principle
here laid down is considered of far
reaching importance. . ; j ..'
.The company was furnishing' tele
phones to its own members, who paid
a membership fee of $36, for 50 cents
a month, and to non-members for $1 a
month, and all patrons were entitled to
10 free long distance calls a month
over any of the company's lines. After
Ithe suit was begun .the company made
its charges to members and non-members
equal. 'There was no difference
in the rental of 'business and residence
telephones or in private or party lines.
The commission, orders the company
to charge as a minimum the following:
For business telephones, individual
service, ?2.50 per montn; party lines
$2 per month; for residence telephones
Individual service, $1.75 per month;
party lines, $1.25 per month; such rent
al to include the privilege of free ues
of the - association's lines in Union
county for conversations limited to
four minutes to all subscribers of de
fendant, if it so elects. The company
is given 30 days in which to put these
rates into effect.
These charges are to be made to all
persons, whether members of the asso-.
ciation or not j
In its order the commission says: j
"The commission finds that the rates''
and charges made and imposed by the j
defendant, as the same existed at the;
time of the hearing, were and are in-1
sufficient to provide sufficient funds;
to operate and maintain the plant of
the defendant, and will not provide any '
depreciation or replacement fund or'
reserve, or to pay any part of the fix- j
ed charges on the outstanding indebt
edness of the said association repre
senting its investment in the telephone
plant serving its patrons. That the
charges fixed by said tariff, O. R. C.
No. 1, viz., $1 per month, with free
switching between stations on defend- j
ant's lines, are insufficient to yield
sufficient income to provide for the
proper maintenance and operation of
said plant, and will yield nothing to-!
ward the creation of a depreciation
fund, or the meeting of its fixed charge
obligations. That without sufficient
revenue the service of defendant can
not be maintained at an adequate or
reasonable standard."
Millionaire Up For White' Slavery.
Los Angeles, July 24. George H.
Bixby, multi-millionaire, owner of the
famous Hotel Virginia e-Long Beach,
heavy stockholder in half a dozen
banks and trust companies, trustee of
a prominent college and member of
exclusive society, circles was due for
trial today on the charge of con
tributing to the delinquency of
Irene Marie Brown-Levy, 18, and Cleo
Helen Barker, 19, who are minors unr
der the California juvenile law unti'.
they are 21 years of age.
Because he suffered an operation of
the nose recently Bixby did not go to
trial today. The trial is now sched
uled for September 11.
The case against Bixby grew out of
the white slave investigations, started
some months ago by the Los Angeles
county grand jury when Kitty Phil
lips, a moving picture actress, was
accused of blackmailing a man whose
name was withheld by the authorities.
She charges that this mysterious char
acter, who went under the name of
"Black Pearl" was Bixby.
The blackmail charges were neveo
pressed. Instead, Kitty Phillips was
charged with vagrancy before Police
Judge Rose, now mayor of Los Ange-
! les, and "run out of town" on suspend
ed sentence of six moths. She took
with her to San Francisco, Marie For
rester, another young girl. Subse
quent charges by Miss Phillips started
the grand jury probe, and the two girls
were brought back to Los Angeles
by detectives. Both testified before the
j grand jury,, and the incident of Bix-
; by, Mrs. Josie Rosenberg and Mrs.
Elizabeth Espey followed.
j The millionaire claims that ' the
charges against him are the result of
' his .refusal to pay blackmail. He has
employed Oscar .Lawler, noted asspe-
! cial prosecutor in the McNamara dyn-
' amite investigation, to defend him.
Mrs. Rosenberg and Elizabeth Es-
:pey, rooming house keepers, are charg
ed with having enticed young girls
jinto dives and there engineered meet
ings between them' and rich men for
' profit i- Irene Brown-Levy, told the
grand jury that she was given ?800 by
one man. in one of Mrs. Rosenberg's
resorts; The money she says was di
vided into three portions, one; to her
self, one to Mrs. Rosenberg and one
to Mrs. Espey. . ; : , ;
If a conviction, is secured against
Bixby, the grand jury will renew its
inquiry into white slavery conditions
here. Bixby's defense is expected to
be that the girls involved are all mem
bers of a gigantic blackmailing ring
who have successfully imposed on the
public. Bixby has been at liberty on
$10,000 bail.
See America First.
Portland, Ore., July 24. To keep at
home at least a portion of the half mil
lion dollars which, according to gov-
j ernment statistics, is being spent an-
nually by Americans seeking health
and pleasure in foreign countries, con
gress and President Wilson will, in
' the near future, be requested formal
ly to create a national tourist and trav
el commission as a permanent federal
board, the purpose of which will be the
I advancement of the "See America
First" movement.
Plans with this idea in view are
being prepared today by George L.
Hutchin, president of the festivals as
sociation of the Pacific coast, an or
ganization made up of the executive
officers of the festivals and carnicvls
held annually by various municipalities
of the Pacific coast. When the plans
are perfected they will be put in the
form of a memorial to congress and
the president pointing out the advant
ages of such a commission and urging
its immediate creation, i After the
memorial has been presented several
congressmen from Pacific coast states
will collaborate on a bill which will be
introduced in congress.
The idea of the National Tourist and
Travel commission had its inception at
the annual convention o,f the Festival
association held recently in Tacoma
Wash. An executive committee has
been appointed by President Hutchin
to interest the congressional delegates
of various states in the movement so
that when the memorial and bill are
brought before the national executive
board for action it will receive due con
sideration.
The proposed commission would be
empowered to make a thorough in
vestigation of the natural scenic beau
ties and climatic conditions of every
portion of the country, investigate and
classify the various winter and sum
mer resorts of the United States and
gather all possible data to be placed
at the disposal of the traveling public
especially that portion which is ac
customed to make annual pilgrimages
abroad.
A Penny a Lunch.
St. Louis, Mo., July 24. It has been
just one month today since the anti
free lunch law went into effect here
srd every one is agreed that there
might as well not be any such law.
p-ofticallv every saloon in the city
sells a pretty fair lunch for one cent.
Others have placed slot machines near
the eats with placards calling atten
tion to the law and asking beer buyers
to drop pennies in the slot if they get
away with any of the food. In one
downtown saloon, one of the biggest n
town, an inqisitive patron counted four
cents in one of the pay as you eat
money boxes just after, few hundred
Vyyry snt thirsty base ball fans, re
turning from a ball game, had eaten
everything on the lunch counter. Dur
ing the time the crowd was in the sa
loon, the attendant behind the lunch
counter was busy elsewhere. In some
of the saloons the proprietors insist on
the payment of the penny but the cus
tomer gets a ticket which he doesn't
have to turn in at the lunch counter
and which can be carried about and
used as a sort of "rain check" ticket.
Nobody has been arrested yet for
swiping a few hot dogs and cheese.
