I’llONE RATES CAUSE PROTEST The following communication to tho Herald from the Public Service Recall Committee Is self-explanatory. The committee is seeking to recall Public Service Commissioner Wil liams, as a result of the rate increa ses recently granted public service co roo rations: To the Editor: Two agencies, com petition and public regulation, pri marily control the <|uality of service received and th. i>>»>- paid fur ¡t hv the patron of a public utility private ly operated. Where competition ex ists, there is little need for public regulation, which usually comes into play when a monopoly has been cre ated. There is a third element, always present in some degree and given • unsideration, namely, the ability or willingness of the public generally as distinguished from indi viduals, to take the service and pay the rate r«M|uired A fourth element, always magnified and put forward prominently, is the alleged necessity of the utility for more money. When it i» considere«! that in Port land no attempt has been made to in crease rates for electric lighting, in which two »operate concerns com pete, the <iuestion naturally arises, why different principles are applied to the construction of rates for com petitive M rvice and for monopolistic service, and how it happens that competing companies are able to car ry on without appealing to the pub lic for increased rates. Must the public fight against mon opoly an<l encourage competitivo ser vice with its attendant economic loss and duplication of facilities to nro- tect itself against unbridled exac tions or should the public service commission take into consideration, in connection with an application to raise public utility rates, whether competition has been stifled. The history of the acquisition of the Home Telephone 4 Telegraph Co.’» property by the Pacific Tele phone 4 Telegraph Co. is decidely uertinent at this time in its relation ship to the repeated granting of in creased rates to the existing monop ; oly. It may be well to remark that i no increase in Portland telephon-- rates was proposed until control of i competition ha<l been effected. A review of the Home Telephone transaction nnd its application to the two pmcocxiings before the public service commission involving in creare« I telephone rates in Portland anil some other («immunities creates n very vivid impression that some thing is out of joint either in thi regulatory activities in the state or in the generally accept««! theory that the rights of the public is the para mount consideration In its Order No. 499 of May 2 1919, the commission say« that th« acquisition of the automatic system by the Roll interests will in our opin ion result in improved and more ef ficient service and by the removal of duplication, save to the totophone us. of the four cities named not les than $200,0000 annually, and “it is anticipated that the equipment pur- chns««! will take care of the greater part of the new business expecte«’ for the next three year«.” A careful examination of the com mission's proce«'dings in the tele phone capos fails to disclose any in timnxion that the elimination of th* automatic system was in any respect recognized as influencing the de mands that the Pacific Co. now makes, or thnt the commission in granting them remembered the find ings it made in the order of Mav 2, 1919. —EDWARD M. COUSIN. 427 Railway Exchange Building. j1 g VOL. XIX, No. 16 Arleta, Kern Park, Millard Ave., Tremont, Woodmere “I Believe That Every Girl Should Be Trained to Do Something.” Dy MISS MABEL BOARDMAN, District of Columbia Commissioner. Du I think a young woman sliould enter public service provided she has the inclination? That de- pends upon arcunutances; family conditions most always playing a large part in a woman’s decision. Her first duty lies at home, and nothing can ever change that On the other hand, I believe that every girl— rich or poor—should be trained to do something, either by which she could make a living or by which she could benefit humanity. There is no excuse for an absolutely selfish existence. Every womar., with the possible exception of the young mother with a growing family, should find some opportunity for public service work. I believe in beginning early to educate for citizenship. The children should be made to realize that citizenship means service. I also believe that in the schools girls should be given some special business instruction and, in fact, all possible equipment that will help to fit them for their particular niche in life. What the “particular niche” may be is a hard question to answer. You can’t lay down any law because it all depends on the woman herself—the circumstances of her environment, her training, talent and, most important of all, her inclination. As to the rewards and disappointments of a career of public service, women are young yet in their new field of opportunity. But 1 believe they are going to be less material than men; that when they go into pub lic service they have bigger objectives and will therefore have bigger re wards. Of course, they will have the same disappointments that men have, added to the sacrifices women have to make when they enter public life that men do not. As a matter of fact, I believe women are betteT fitted for municipal positions than they are for national, that their breadth of human sym pathy and understanding of civic problems enable them to do a much bigger municipal work. In the Red Cross, for instance, the national work is such a huge undertaking that unless we had given women some thing to interest them in a local way we never <x>uld have moved them. i ' < MARGARET WINS ' PARENT-TEACHERS ANOTHER FIVE HOLD MEETING Margaret l^citch is the winner of the $'>.00 in the tradc-at-home con test this wwek, with 204/««) votes to her credit. Miss E. V. Barker also turned in 106.150. Last week, as an nounced, Clarence O'Neill turned in 2,351,700. The standing of the contestants will be published next week For the contest next week the name of C. E. Tillman has licen chosen. Mr. Tillman is a progressive real estate broker of lent», with an office on Woodstock avenue. Wo wish to reiterate the ruling that merchants may not save votes for or give creait to a contestant for votes in the future not authorized by the person trading with the merchant. The only method by which votes may he sreurixl is for the person buying goods to in person give the coupons to the contestant or give an order to the contestant on the merchnnt for them. This is final, and votes or credits obtain««! in any other way will not be counted. The contestant must bring the order from the cus tomer, O. K.’d by the merchant from whom the goods were purchased, to this office to obtain credit on them.

Several fraternal ad- dr* i.rez were made. A special effort is being made by the camp to add twenty more members this month which will give them an increase of twenty per cent since September 1. Church Interior Improved The interior of Millard Avenu« church has been kalsomined and oiled and cleaned and polished until it looks like an entirely different place. Tbe Welfare club, that ven progressive and helpful auxiliary of the church, vote«! at their last meet ing to have a house cleaning of th. church house. Mrs. D. A. Davis, s new member of the club, was put in charge of the work, and it is due tc her efforts entirely that the work was done so quickly and so well. Mr Reece and son Donald, father an«' brother respectively of Fred Reece of 5319 72na street, who have been painters and interior decorators foi forty years, donated their labor and time to the job. The women of the club scrubbed and oiled the floors washed the windows, with the aid of Thos. Malloy, Sr., and made the place a pretty, delightful place in which to worship. A luncheon of c«iffee, sandwiches and fruit was served to the men who worked Wed n««sday evening. Those taking act ive part were Mrs. D. A. Davis. Mrs Fanny Pawson, Mrs. Glen San«tors, Mrs. F. E. Crum, Mrs. Jahler, Messrs “Dad” Re«'cc. Donald Reece, George Colvey, W. L.

He leaves a wife and two children, who live in Albany. His mother is staying with her daughter, Mrs. Fisher, of 61st street and 65th avenue. Book Review Contest The book review contest at Arleta library Tuesday afternoon wan very interesting. Besides the regular con testants, Miss Ora Hauch sang very pleasingly, “What’s the Good of Be ing Good, When No One is Good to Me”. Miss Peck, librarian at the East Side library, acted as judge. Her criticism was very constructive and fully as interesting as the re views. She graded three points; de livery, composition and delivery and the review itself. Arleta school was represented by Inez Hutchinson, whoee subject was “Mill on The Floss” and by Elaine Stokes, who took “Merchant of Ven ice”. Joseph Kellogg was represent ed by Clarence Gilman, whoso sub ject was “Call of the Wild” and Hel en Miller, who gave “The Casting Away of Mrs. Licks and Mrs. Al- shine.” The judge decided in favor of El aine Stokes of Arleta as first winner and Ruth Meeker of Creston, who gave “Mary Lips”, as second. The program was verv good and worthy of a bigger audience than was pres ent. It is a good work in which the parents should be interested and co operate with the pupils. Shepherds Visit Rev. and Mrs. E. O. Shepherd of 6733 32nd avenue snent Thursday with their daughter at Philomath college.

May 1 MANY NEW SUBSCRIBERS The many new names being en rolled on our subscription book each week is very satisfactory, thanks to the efforts of our friends in the sub scription contest. While, a.« previous ly stated, the direct benefits in dol lars and cents resulting at this time to the business management is bare ly n break-even, we are assured that we are casting bread upon the waters to be returned manyfold to the resi den‘s of the Mt. Scott district, as well as this newspaper. We are in formed that there are yet some mer chants in this bailiwick rather ia- cline«< to be dubious of the circula tion claimed—that we are not circu lating the number of copies claimed. These Doubting Thomases are res pectfully invited to visit our press room any Thursday afternoon and investigate for themselves. The bus. iness man in Southeast Portland who is not advertising in the Mt. Scott Herald is losing money—for himself, as well as the publisher of this news paper. MR. PRATT TO SPEAK Mr. Pratt will speak on “American Ideals in Literature” at Lents on Wednesday, April 20. at 10:30, and at Woodmere the same day at 1:30.
