hours, against 2,028 hours tor talk'. '
-Of the totfll music, more than
one-third, or 176(1 hours, consisted of
popular turjrs. Classic music took' up
988 hours, and the remainder or the
time was divided between light, seml
classie, novelty and religious musici
While 2.033 hours Were uscti for
talk,' It actually was no all speeches.
A large part, 930 hours, was 1 drama
tics. News events; :'such. v83 ailetlc
and special broadcosta required 408
hours, 'with 104 hours in educational
features'.1 Speeches took' up the re
maining time. ! - ' ' , ;"

LegislatipnTp
Aid Portland's
Phone Franchise
SALEM, Jan. 20 i&t Two bills, de
signed with the admitted intention
of their sponsors-to compel the Pa
cific Telephone & Telegraph company
fo accept the fran'chlso offer of the
city of Portland or subject Itself to
drastic penalties, made their appear
ance In the legislature yesterday.
Iii tho house a bill bearing the
names of ohn H. Lewis and Senator
W. E. Burke' provides that all equip
ment and properties of a utility using
the street " of hhy city shall be re
moved frbhi1 the streets within six
months after the expiration of "any
grant. ' privilege." or' Trachise.' . . .
unless further im be granted by
tho municipal corporation having
authority to dp so. and If not re
moved within six months after the
termination 'or cxpjratlon of
franchise " . alt and every part
thereof shall be 'forfeited and 'e's-
I cheated to the municipal corpora-
In Its particular application to tho
city of Portland where tho telephone
franchise has expired, the company
has rejected the city's offer for re
newal and the company Is operating
Without a franchise, tho ball pro
vides that "where any such franchise
has expired hereto or prior to tho
timo this act shall take effect, then
the time for removal shall run from
tho date this act becomes effective."
In the upper house Senator J. E.
Bennett Introduced a bill stipulating
that In any city where a utility is
operating without a franchise or un
der an expired franchise the goyqrn
lng body of the' cl(y shall levy a tax
of five per cent upon the gross earn
ings of the " corporation.
Thls bill, as applied to the tele
phone franchise situation in Port
land." said Bennett, "would compel
the city council to levy this tax based
on the gross-earning revenue of tho
telephone company,- For 1929 trie
gross earnings wero $5,172,613.11.
Therefore, this tax would return to
tho city treasury some $260,000 a
year. If tho people of Portland will
actively support this bill their
troubles as far as franchises are con
cerned will be over."
While no definite information as
to the number of instances over the
state where utilities are operating
under expired franchises was avail
able hero, It was known that there
are many such cases in the smaller
cities. '
