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

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--

competition ha<l been effected.

“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.

The book review contest at Arleta

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.

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.
