RATE HEARING
OF PHONE "CO.
OPENED FRIDAY
PORTLAND, Ore., Deo. 13.
Chief among tho exhibit on which
rests tho claim for Increased telephone
rates la the existing contract between
the Government and the telephone and
telegraph lines, presented yesterday
by the Pacific Telephone and Tele
graph Company before the Oregon
Public Service commission, at the op
ening hearing of the rate case.
It Is the contention of the company
as let forth by James T. Bhaw, coun
sel, that tho Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph Company is not financially
concerned In the proposed Increase, In
asmuch a the Government has taken
over the property and guaranteed cer
tain specified returns to the company
during the period ot Federal control.
Keen Interest is manifested by tha
numerous appearances before the
commission, representing various Ore
gon communities, Including civic re
presentatives from Pendleton, Corval
lis, Albany, Eugene, and Rt. Helens,
with J. O. Bailey, Assistant Attorney-
General appearing for Oregon, and II.
M. Tomlinson, Deputy City Attorney,
for Portland,,
Doth Mr. Ilalley and Mr. Tomlinson
entered strong objections to the admis
sion of tho Federal contract, consum
mated by Postmaster-General Burle
son, as an exhibit, Insisting that such
procedure was not In accord with the
statutes, and that a petition for the
hearing should have been received
from Postmaster General Burleson
The commission ruk d, however, that
the telegram with which the Postmaster-General
conceded the right of the
Public Service Commission to hold tho
rate hearing constitution such petl
tlon. The contract was admitted as
an exhibit, after prolonged discussion,
with the understanding that its pro
visions were considered debatable, and
that tho compensation and deprecia
tion Items allowed by the Government
would be probed.
Ceorgo L. Storey was the only repre
sentative of Oregon City at the open
lug day of th ehearlng, although there
was a committee appolntted by the
Commercial Club to attend. This com
mittee consisted of five men but they
could not get away.
The phone company took up the
day preecutlng their case and an en
gineer of the company endeavored to
tell of tho value of the company, but
dl dnot succeed very well, or at least
his statements did not satisfy the
phone une,rs.
A man from St. Helens, represent
ing 80 userg of the farmlers' "line
there, this owned by the main com
pany, testified that these people
would order their phones discontin
ued If the new rates went into effect
This seemed to be the sentiment of
most ot those in attendance and from
all indications a strong fight will re
sult before they will submit to( the
raise lu rates. , ,

U.S. MAKES EFFORT 4
TO PREVENT ITALY
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. Immedi
ate steps have been taken by the al
Hos, especially the United States, to
prevent bloodshed by tho Italian army
of occupation and the Jugo-Slav popu
lation of Dalmatla, Flume and Zadar,
says a statement issued by the na
tional council of -Zagreb as the pro
visional government ot the Jugo-Slav
territory.
The statement claims that the Itnl
an troops have occupied Flume, al
though the city was not named for oc
cupation In the armistice terms; that
the Italians have sal.ed the warships
and merchant ships in the harbor con
trary to the 'armistice, nnd in 'Dalma
tla, as well as Flume, the Italian auth
orities have closed the schools and
taken over the telegraph and railroad
systems. '
In Zadar tha statement alleges that
the Italian troops assaulted the Jugo
slav population.
KOI
L CALL III
OREGON CITY
OFF WITH RUSH
Th Red Cross Hull Call started here
Monday morning with a rush and from
all Indications the city will have uni
versal membership easily before the
week is over.
The great work of tha Had Cross la
not over although the war is. Oui;boys
stlli need the coin tori s that are made
possible through the work of this or
ganization and we are all asked to do
our bit In this drive.
Thla is not in the form of a war
drive but the main object is to make
every man and woman in the country
a member of the Red Cross. The
amount asked is only $1 and this
money will all go for the benefit ot
the soldiers who have risked their
all to protect us.
This Is not much to ask of anyone
but if we all come In and join the
organization tha amount realized will
be sufficient to meet tho needs of
the cause and besides we will have
the honor of belonging to the great
est organization of ita klritt in tho
world.
No receipts will be given by the
solicitors but the little, button gjyen
to you answers the same pursue and
allows that you have don.t yoyr duty
In the dilve.
When the solicitors call on you don't
ke p them waiting. There is a liirge
territory to be covered and you can
help them by having your dollar reudy
for them.
Th ) Red Cross did a great work on
(he battlefield) w hile ho war was in
p CKresg and now they will minister
to the wants of the boys in the camps,
In th's country and In France. The
sudors will not be forgotten and when
tliey ere ashore they will receive the
hem fits of the Ited Crass. When our
boys return from tlje war zone they
wl'l be met by members of the Red
Cross and welcomed back to the Unit
ed States.
It takes money to do all this and
we here at home must raise " that
money or the work cannot be carried
out,
When you are asked for your dol
lar don't think of the money. Just
think ot tha good it will do.
"Where is your button'' is the offi
cial slogan of the drive and when you
are asked this don't be caught with
out It. Have It in sight for it Ib some
thing to be proud of.
A. It. Jacobs, city chairman, has ap
pointed L. Adams colonel, and the
lutter has worked diligently in getting
all workers In thalr various territor
ies. Mr. Adams nas assisted In carry
ing on all drives ot Clackamas coun
ty, and largely through his efforts baa
been the means ot making the drives
a success.
The Liberty Temple will be open
this morning and the Ladles of W. C
T. U. will have charge and receive
membership for the Red Cross Christ
mas Roll Call. All who miss the house
to house committees can atop In Li

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. That the
United States may have to float a
$7,000,000,000 "Victory" bond Issue, In
addition to the billions already raised
through Liberty bond issues, was Indi-
rated by Secretary McAdoo, when he
appealed at an executive session of
the house ways and means eommlttee
this afternoon to urge that America's
allies be granted an additional loan
of a billion and a half,- members of
the committee afterwards said.
A "Victory" bond issue of five and
a half billions as early as next spring
would probably be necessary, it the
United States is to meet its war and
reconstruction obligations, the secre
tary Intimated, these members added.
The secretary discussed the propos
ed billion and a half additional loan
to the allies along much the lines he
pursued in his recent letter on the
subject to Chairman Kltchin of the
committee.
Members of the committee stated
that there was a disposition among
them not to take any action on the,
loan until after the peace conference.
McAdoo also told the committee,
members stated,' that he regarded
$8,500,000,000 in loans already grant
ed the allies as not excessive, as they
represented only a traction of the
wealth and resources of nations like
Great Britain and France.
He urged the additional billion and
a half loan, not only "in the Interests
of civilization," but explained tljat
most of tho money would be expend
ed by the allies to which it was
loaned on food and other necessaries
bought in this 'country during the. re
construction period. He also express
ed the opinion that the eventual
stabilization of the Russian govern
ment would result in the return to this
country of the $187,000,000 it had ad
vanced to Russia.
LICENSE TO WED
Charles N. Dyblcke, 24, of Port

day. ARMY DEMOBILIZING
LONDON, Dec, 12. Great Britain
already is engaged on tho gigantic
tank of arranging the system of de
mobilization of its huge war forces
following the declaration of peace.
JAPAN IS
SILENT AS
TO PLANS
OF PEACE
TOKJO, Nov, IS, Official Japan is
silent as to what Japan will ask at the
peace conference, but Marquis Shlge
nobu Okuma, the venerable ex-prime
minister, has given a statement as to
what he thinks Japan's peace termi
should be.
The marquis says Japan should ap
prove a'l decisions to be reached by
Great Britain, France and the United
States, so far as the territorial altera
tions on tha western front, central
Europe, the Balkans and African col
onies are concerned, because Japan
bus therein nb direct Interest.
As to the future of Germany and
RiiHsIa, Japan's attitude should be
decided in accordance with conclu
sions reached by the allied confer
ence, but the fundamental principle
of settlement shou'd be the universal
dHHlre to obtain permanent peace.

OFFICER WRITES
MRS. DAWSON
PRAISING SON
Mrs. Mary E. Dawson, ot this city,
received the following letter from
Carle Abrams, lieutenant colonel of
the lCZnd Infantry, written at Win
chester, England, November 13, 1918:
"Mrs. Mary E. Dawson,
"Oregon City, Or.,
"You have been Informed of the sud
den death of -your son, Howard Daw
son, in Paris recently. I felt that I
should write and tell you what a
splendid soldier your boy had be;n.
"His death wa8 great shock to
me. and my grief over the loss Is
second only to your own.
'Since about March 1, I have been
closely associated with him and learn-
ei to vloe him for his faithfulness, re
liability and cheerful disposition He
eted as my permanent orderly tor
seven months, and knowing his great
desire to go to the front in France,
relieved blm temporarily from duty
here, and seht blrn to France as a
courier. He was not really eligible
for the detail, but I desired to give
him the trip. U was very happy and
'eft in high spirits.
'On his trip Howard saw much of
th army in France, and after per
forming his mission, went with his
two companions to Paris for a two
days' visit before returning to Eng
land. The following day lie was taken
to a Red Cross hospital In France
with Influenza. I have beard no de
tails of his illness, except that hei
died about ten days later from the dis
ease. "Your son made such a splendid sol
dier that I had taken a special inter
est In him, and under my direction,
he was studying hard, and I hoped
soon to send him to a Canadian school
In Fraiis, and tlrm'y believed he
would have graduated as an officer
and made good.
"Nothlnc that I can say will light
en the bereavement you are suffer
ing, but I want to assure you that
Howard was, a splendid type ot sol
dier, who served bis countryy to the
best of his ability, and died a hero In
the truest sense of the term, a mar
tyr to the great causi, which has
since triumphed, o'f right over might.
The cost is awful, but all peoples for
all time Will reap the benefits of the
sacrifice made by mothers such as
you.
"CARLE ABRAMS,
"Lieutenant Colonel 162nd Infantry,
Commanding."

SALEM, Dec. 13. There should be
supplemental legislation to more
clearly define the operation of the
recall amaument to the state consti
tution, points out Attorney General
Brown in a lengthy opinion completed
today for John F. Hall, district attor
ney for C6os county.
District Attorney Hall raised two
questions In particular which have
beenf puzzlers In connection with the
recall agitation In his county. The
first question was whether an elector
who signs the recall petition has a
right to withdraw his name after the
petition is filed.
"In the absence of any statute,"
says Attorney uenerai lirown in re
ply, "but from analogy and application
of authorities from other states, it is
my conclusion that after which, with
in a period of five days from the sign
ing of the legal petition, containing
names ot 25 per cent of the legal vot
ers, demanding the recall of a public
officer, names may be added to or
withdrawn fren any such petition.
Replying to another question, the
attorney general also holds that a sup
plemental petition may be Wed. This
was done in Coos county when so
many names wera withdrawn from the
original petition that it no longer con
tained 23 per cent of the voters.
The attorney general points out that
nearly all other states which have re
call provisions in their ' constitutions
have enacted supplemental legislation
to make the provisions workable and
points out that Oregon has not yet
done this.
Dl
J SAYS HUNS
ARE STILL A MENACE
NEW YORK, Dec. 12. "It is non
sense to think Germany has been
crushed," declares Maurice Francis
Egan, former minister to Denmark.
"The point of view of Germany Is to
T)egin over again," he said. "If Lieb
knecht Is given an opportunity, he will
found a government almost as auto
cratic as that of the late kaiser.
"If the Social Democrats and the
Center party of Germany could be
made to believe that it was again
'Deutschland Uber Alles' they would
strain every nerve to resume the
world struggle."
COPENHAGEN, Dec. 11. Berlin's
welcome to the Prussian guard of
Tuesday was Bolemn rather than tri
umphant, according to Berlin advices
received here. It was generally ob
served the troops .marched under tha
German national colors and that the
bands played "Deutschland Uber Al
les," and not revolutionary airs. '
Braidenburg gate and the streets
througa which the soldiers merched
were decorated with' evergreens and
flags. The officers and men were dec
orated with national rosettes of flow
ers and wore their iron crosses, The
soldiers in the procession participated
in the last battle of the war and suf
fered tremendous losses, some de
tachments be'ing reduced to almost
the vanishing point.

LIVE WIRES BACKING UP
COURT FOR PAVEMENT
Backing up the county court on one
hand in its effort to secure a 2-mill
general levy for hard surface pave
ment In 1919, and insisting on the
other hand that the Pacific highway
between West Linn and Portland on
the west bank of the Willamette River
be graded early next year In accord-
dance with the proposal of the State
Highway Commission to pave that
section of the highway, the Live
Wires of the Commercial Club Tues
day appointed L. Adams, W. P. Haw-
ley, Jr., H. G. . Starkweather, Charles
H. Caufield and G. B. Dimick a com
mittee to Becure a maximum atten
mah county line, the state would lay
the pavement, making nearly an un
interrupted stretch of hard surface
from Multnomah to Marion county
over the Pacific Highway. No provi
sion was made for this grading by
Clackamas county thi3 year, and the
county stands a chance to lose the
pavement unless the grading is done
according to tha survey of the com
mission that has been in the hands of
the county court for some time. It is
estimated that the grading will cost
les3 than $25,000. ' The good road
boosters of the Commercial c'ub be-
dance at the budgat meeting next Sat
urday.
The State Highway Commission
more than a year ago agreed, that if
Clackamas county would grade the
road on the west side to the Multno-
lieve that the opportunity tcr eecurs
several miles of pavement at the ex
pense of the state should not be pass
ed by.
J. D. Brown, president of tha Farm
ers Union of Oregon, who was pres
ent at Tuesday's luncheon, dec'ared
that Clackamas county is handling its
road work more 'economically than
most of the counties of Oregon, and
in a brief speech he' exhibited some
hostility toward bond issues, favor-
ingthe "pay-as-you-go" plan.
The Live Wires took an adjourn
ment until the Tuesday following New
Years. In the absence of Main Trunk
Dye, the presiding officer was M. D,
Le.tourette, president of the club. The
proposed discussion of legislative
problems did not take place, as none
of the members of the Clackamas
county delegation were present.

FOR EXPAtlSlOll
PARIS, Dee! 18. Much Interest at-
taches to conferences which President
Wilson will have with King Victor
Emmanuel, who is expected to arrive
here tomorrow. It is known the presi
dent feels warmest sympathy tor pur
poses which led Italy to enter the
war. Nevertheless, tentative lines laid
out in consequence of an investiga
tion by Colonel Edward M. House re
specting the probable extent of terri
tory which should go to Italy, on the
principle of racial or linguistic deter
mination, do not fully accord with
the Ideas of the Italian government
which feels that it should go farther
than is indicated by this outline. This
Is one of the subjects which Mr. Wil
son discussed with Count Dl Cellere,
Italian ambassador to America, whom
he Is believed to have to'.d the extent
to which the American rresenta-
lives were willing to go in support of
Italy's claims arising out of the war
