THE 3I0RXIXG OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY,- JANUARY 18, 1916. 13 ROBERT SERVICE IS ARER STATE POST Baker Man Asks Support of "Common People" for Pub , lie Service Commission. RAILROADS DECLARED FOE Itaker Man, With Varied Career, Has Figured in Important Kate Fight and Now Seeks Opportunity to Have Voice in Regulation. One of the most candidly Interesting atatements that has yet enlivened the primary campaign accompanies the formal announcement of hia candidacy for the Republican nomination for Pub lic Service Commissioner from Eastern Oregon made yesterday by Robert Service, of Baker. Mr. Service frankly terms his can didacy a "flyer and aays he knows the railroads are opposed to him. and that he stands no chance unless the people want him. I have hammered the railroads too often when they were wrong to ex pect their support. he explains, "and only take this second 'flyer at this office, thinking that perhaps the peo ple are ready for a change from regu lation that regulates the people instead of regulation that regulates the rail roads." Mr. Service has lived in Baker 15 years. He is 49 years old, married and has four children. A native or &cov land, his parents came to Wisconsin when he was & years old. and he grew up and was educated in that state. Career la Varied He has-had an interesting and varied career. For two years he was head bookkeeper of a lumber company at Red Cloud. Neb. Then for a year and m. half he was sreneral manager of na.sh and door factory at Crown Point, Ind., from there going to Pocatello, Idaho, where for nine years he was in the retail lumber and grocery business. For seven years after coming to Baker ha was a manufacturing whole sale lumberman and shipper. It was In this business that he first became in terested in the subject of freight rates, to the study of which he devoted him self for eight years. He has frequently appeared before the Railroad Commission, now the Pub lic Service Commission, in railroad rate matters It was he who brought before the Commission the log rate case, from Baker, in 1912, which was said at the time to contain more elements of freight rates than any Federal or state case previously brought in the North west. In 1912 Mr. Service was a candidate for Railroad Commissioner on the Pro gressive ticket. Up to that time he had been a Republican. Some time ago he left the Progressives and returned to the -old party. Four Candidates la Race. He is the fourth announced candidate from east of the mountains for the one vacancy in that district on the Public Service Commission. The other an nounced candidate for the Republican nomination are James B. Kyle, Mayor! of Stanfield; II. H. Corey, present sec-! retary of the Commission, whose home I town is Pendleton; and Kd. Wright, of La Grande, .County Clerk, of Union County. From the "West Side only one candi date so far has announced himself. He is Fred Buchtel. of Portland, deputy state sealer of weights and measures. However, it is considered certain that Thomas J. Campbell, of Roseburg, one of the two incumbents whose terms ex pire this year, will be a candidate Clyde B. Aitchison, of Portland, the other incumbent, also is expected to run again, though he has not an nounced himself. Under -the old law. when all Commissioners were elected from the state at large, Mr. -Campbell and Mr. Aitchison were both elected in 1912. This year, with one Commission er to be elected from the West Side and one from the East Side, one of them may step aside. Statement Is Iasaed. Mr. Service's statement of his candi dacy follows: In making1 thin announcement and in Peking the Republican nomination for Pub lic tervlne Commissioner. 1 do It conscious of th fact that, unless the common people of Eastern Oregon give me their support, 1 stand about as much chance of being nominated and elected to this office as the proverbial "snowball In the hot hereafter." We need the railroads and other public utilities and ought to be liberal with them, and they, in turn, owe It to the public to honest and reasonable as public trus tees. I have hammered them too often when they were w rong to expect their support, and only take this second "flyer" at this o0ice thinking that perhaps the people are ready lor a change from reg ulation that regulates the people instead of regulation that regulates the railroads. In lint, and prior thereto, the people i Oregon had a common law right to recover money paid to a carrier in excess of a lawful rate-, and. at that time, the rate. In order to b lawful, had to be reasonable, and the tact that H was a published tariff rate did not make It reasonable, but re mained a question of fact that could be determined la the courts by any aggrieved shipper. In 1907 the act creating a Railroad Com mission made the published tariff rate the lawful rate, and this Is true, even though the rate proved to be unreasonable and confiscatory. A concrete example: A cause cf action arose In 180ft and prior thereto. The carrier was sued and the shipper was awarded verdict of $16,000 because the tarifr rate wag found to be unreasonable. The published tariff rate was 10 cents; it remains 10 cents now; It was unlawful then, but lawful now. The Immediate ef fect on the shipper is easy to discover, for -tou!d such a cause arise today the ship per could not recover anything, for the reason that the published tariff rate Is made lawful by statute and the common law, right heretofore, existing since O re ran was a state, is abrogated. The 10- cent rate is exactly as unreasonable now as then, and It was worth a SLtf.OvO Judg ment to a shipper at that time. Is this not too much of a regulation of the people In favor of corporate greed, and do you .want your common law right restored? Many other evils affecting the interests of the common people are made apparent by a little study of the question. "Intercuts Declared Foe. I am Informed that the Interests" have combined to defeat me In any event, for they say they cannot afford to have me a Commissioner under any circumstances, and wlil see to It that I have plenty of com petition. Competition of the right sort is all right. My main desire Is to see a man fill that office who will regulate in a law ful msnner. I can control my own actions and will not permit myself to be the "tool" of any one. I appeal to all the voters of Eastern Oregon to vote for the man and not the locality. Local pride should give way to roroe good man from the Eastern Oregon tiistrict. otherwise would it not be easy for he "Interests" to defeat any formida ble candidate that they thought might not be "friendly" or would "stir up" some thin?" I have resided In Baker 15 years: am a lawyr. though most of my time has been occupied in business pursuits up to 1907. I am an expert accountant and have made a specialty of the subject of rilrod rate regulation for the past eight years, and auc reeded In having rates materially reduced In Eastern Oregon and In exposing the falsi fication of railroad records where It was rhoa that about per cent of a carrier's jrross tonnage for the fiscal year was not recorded In its books and was not reported to the Rait road Commission, bat Instead a sworn report was sent to them which did WHAT?

Laurellmrst Clubhouse Is Scene of Cnlqne Outing Pencils Pre pared for Sale to Raise. Scholarship Funds. - Unique waa the class picnic that was held yesterday by the mem bers of the graduating class of Lincoln High School. Coasting on the hills in the neighborhood of the Laurel hurst clubhouse, where the picnic was held, provided the feature that has never been a part of any other class picnic In the memory of Portland high school students. The original intention of the 40 or more pleasure-seekers, to charter two automobile busses and ride to the farm of Clinton Endicott, a member of the graduating class, six miles below Linn ton, was shattered because of the drifts of snow that piled along the St. Helens road. Unable to follow their first impulse, members if the class, dressed in "hik ing" attire, with lunch baskets hung on their arms, went to the Laurelhurst Clubhouse and from 11 A. M. until 6 P. M. there danced, coasted between dances and ate sandwiches, cake and pickles between both dances and rides, that were taken on three bobsleds. When none of these diversions proved attractive to the students, they spent their time In preparing the pencils that will be sold tomorrow at the school to help swell the scholarship fund, which Drovides for one student earn, year at the University of Oregon. Pencils of green were decked with gold colors, the colors or tne FeDruary class. Horace Foulkes was chairman of tne committee that arranged the picnic. Miss Caroline Barnes chaperoned tne class. terdav. With clever Cliff Carney at the piano he sings - new songs, old favorites, and even one he and Mr. Carney manufactured about "Zambo Eyes." Mr. Albright has a big musical voice, and can soar it into the rafters or dip it into the cellar, so varied is his ranee. Mr. Carney, a happy cnap, contributed several piano solos, played with skill and feeling. Albright even told a few good stories for good measure. The Standard Brothers offer a novel athletic act. in which one brother leaps, somersaults and lands on the other brother's upheld palms. The act is sensational and interesting. Billie Seaton is a singing comedienne who wanders a-down melody lane and wins with her pleasing ways. The two Potts boys are more alike than the proverbial two peas in a pod, and around their uncanny physical re semblance a humorous farce, "A Dou blo's Troubles." has been written. It concerns the bride of one brother, and the situations that arise when t'other brother drops in for a call. Bert Wiggins has a novelty juggling act called "Fun on Joy Street," in which a set of unique stage people add greatly to the comedy. COLD KEEPS KORTHWESTEBN DEL EGATES AWAY.

DELAYS ALL GARS DRIFTING OF SNOW KEEPS TRACK- CLEANING FORCE BUSY, Carriers Now Believe Loss of Intra state BnBlness Between Port land and Dry Points Vlll Not Be Compensated For. Portland tipplers are not importing so much liquor from California, from Utah and from Montana after all. Since the dry wave struck the state at the beginning of the year fewer than 100 packages of "wet goods ' have been received by the express companies in this city. , Of course, this light movement may be due to a large extent to the fact that most of "the boys" were pretty well stocked up before prohibition hit them, but the absence of a heavier de mand is both surprising and disap pointing to the express companies. Officials of the express companie believe that scores of Oregon peopl who were counted on by the liquor dealers as prospective customers for the long-distance trade have learned how easy it is to get along without the stuff and therefore don't look to them to make the heavy importations that the mail-order houses assumed of them. Necessary Proceedings Disliked. Even the few shipments that have arrived have convinced the express agents that liquor shipments under the Oregon statutes are not going to be popular proceeding with a whole lot of people. i Contrary to the advertising leaflets issued previous to the first of the year by some enterprising liquor houses, the packages containing liquor must state specifically the nature of the contents. The regulation requiring the con signee to sign a receipt also has been found unpopular and is expected to keep the importations at a low ebb. With the receipt must be an affidavit testifying that the recipient has not received either . 24 quarts of malt liquors or two quarts of fermented liquors in the four-weeks period im mediately preceding. These receipts and affidavits, at the end of each month, must be filed by the carriers with the County Clerk in each county, where they are subject to public inspection. "All these things are going to work against a big trade between the out side mail-order houses and people in Oregon and Washington," said one ex press agent yesterday. Recipients Show Timidity. "While the first month's receipts can't exactly be taken as a crlterloiwof what the movement is going to be. we don t look for a big business even after the present private supplies be come exhausted. I believe a lot of people who heretofore have been drink ing more or less regularly are going -to toilow tne state onto tne water wagon. Illustrative of the timidity with which the average person approaches the duty of signing his name to a receipt is th fact that the first consignment received in Portland after the state went dry remains in the express office un claimed. The express companies operating ou of Portland anticipate substantial losses In their receipts, compared with previous years, despite shipments from outside territory, as heretofore the numerous dry communities in the state outside of Portland received regular shipments from breweries and whole sale liquor houses in this city. But the express companies are begin ning to believe that outside of those fellows who just "have to have it" the traffic will be light PLUMBERS ARE AS BUSY AS MERRY LITTLE BEES Aquarium in Attic of Irvington Home Bursts and Floods Parlor Water Tank Explodes With Loud Report and Bungalows Freeze. T ALK abont the wood dealers being busy, but think about the plumbers. Every plumber in Portland Is on the run from morning to night. The plumber hasVt even time to forget his tools he'd lose five or six other Jobs while he was going back after-them. Broken water pipes, frozen water pipes: no water at all, or flooded cel lars. It's nearly all the same com plaint, but lots of it. A man in Irvington wildly telephoned for a plumber last night- He had a large sheet iron fish acquarium in his attic, and the pipe connecting it had broken, several hundred gallons of water had come down, into his parlor and dining-room. It was after 9 o'clock, a cold night for a plumber to stir out. and several to whom he telephoned turned him down. At last reports he was still telephoning. "I wonder what happened to the fish," commented one of Uiese indiffer ent pipe menders as he hung up the receiver. A resident of Sellwood built a fire in hia stove early Sunday morning and went into the next room to con tinue dressing. A moment later the house shook with a report like a 41- centimeter sun. and he found the stove a premium. spread all over the kitchen celling. The pipe between the stove and the tank had been frozen and the gener ated steam in the water coll acted like an exploding locomotive boiler. And the worst is yet to come, adds the plumber, with a malicious grin. All over the city pipes are frozen and the owners do not know It. As long as they're frozen they won't leak. "Just wait until the thaw comes," said one tyrant of the pipe wrench. "Then we will be busy." "How much does it cost to fix the average case of broken water pipes," a plumber was asked, with the sug gestion of IS. "Five dollars nothing it may cost 150," was the reply. "In some of those new houses put in Rose City Park, Sunnyslde and Laurelhurst we have to tear the whole side of the house down to get at the pipes." And there's no such thing as getting an estimate of cost before the work is started. "All people have to do is to turn the water off at night and drain the pipes," he said. "It's easy, but you can't get 'em to do it. They don't care. The landlord has to pay the bills.'' Virtually every plumber in the city hae from one to seven extra plumbers at work at present. , Plumbers are at Klns's Heights Line Is Not Able . Operate Because of Extent of Storm's Fury. The heavy east wind that continued all day yesterday did more to hamper the streetcar traffic than all the snow that has thus far falllen. Information from the office of the dispatcher of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company was to the effect last night that a number of the suburban lines were kept epen with great difficulty, many crews being constantly at work clearing away the snow that drifted with the wind. The King's Heights line was not opened yesterday because of the drifts and slides in a number of places along the track. The wind on the hill was terrific and it was found impossible to attempt clearing the snow from the tracks. . All cay crews were kept. busy on the ends of the Irvington, Mississippi av enue and Mount Tabor lines. Traffic was continued spasmodically, but with the greatest difficulty. Traffic was impeded yesterday by de livery trucks which followed the car tracks through the drifts., in that manner holding many cars up and throwing them off schedule. Trains' on the Oregon Electric, both the Salem and the Forest Gro-e lines, were unhampered by the drifts, but trouble was experienced on the Orenco cutoff of the United Railways, the drifts throwing the trains off sched ule for some time.
