THE 3IORXIXG OKEGOXTAN. TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 1916.
SiGNAL HONOR GIVEN
TO OREGON OFFICIAL
C. B. Aitchison Is Appoint
ed Solicitor for National
Railway Commission.
SALEM POSITION RESIGNED
New Duties Will Be to Represent
State Bodies In Federal Valu
ations of Railroads All
Over United States.
Clyde B. Aitchison, chairman of the
Public Service Commission of Oregon,
who tendered his resignation to Gov
ernor "Withyeombe a few days aero, has
been given a sigrnal distinction by his
associates in railroad commission work
throughout the country.
He has been appointed solicitor for
the National Association of Railway
Commissioners, and will represent the
state commissions in the valuation
work which the Interstate Commerce
Commission has undertaken on all the
railroad properties in the United States.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
now has had its valuation work under
way for the last two years, and moro
or less difficulty has been encountered
in the effect that this work has upon
the state commissions.
Two Contentions Made.
Obviously the railroads are contend
ing1 for a maximum valuation, as a
higher valuation will justify higher
rates. The state commissions are eager
to enforce lower valuations in the hope
of influencing rates downward.
The controversy arises principally in
fixing the valuation of real estate and
right of way. The carriers insist that
the present market value, or "duplica
tion value" shall govern. Opposing au
thorities contend that the price of the
original investment shall determine the
value fixed by the Commission.
In the populous centers of the East,
where tlia railroads have been estab
lished for half a century or more, a
wide variation exists between the
"duplication value" and the cost of the
original investment. On some of the
"Western roads that received their right
of way as a gift from Congress, the
same economic perplexity presents it
eelf. Position "ot Solicited.
In view of this situation, members or
all the state commissions met at San
Francisco last year to form an organi
zation to protect their interests and
those of their respectives states. They
determined that they should be repre
sented in the valuation proceedings.
Mr. Aitchison has been chosen for the
position without solicitation on his
part.
Mr. Aitehison's headquarters will be
at Washington. D. C, but he will re
tain his residence in Oregon. Under
the constitution, he will continue in
office until the successor who may be
appointed qualifies by giving bond and
taking the oath. Considerable work
now pending under submission before
the Commission will be cleared up be
fore Mr. Aitchison will make his in
tended resignation effective. Probably
his resignation will not become effect
ive and a successor qualified before
the first of June.
Record In Given.
Mr. Aitchison has been a member of
the Oregon Commission since 1907.
when it was created under the name
of Railroad Commission. He was
elected in 1908 and again in 1912, and
his term expires in January, 1917. He
was one of the joint authors of the
Railroad Commission act, and drafted
the present public utilities law.
Previous to his appointment on the
Railroad Commission he was, in 1903
and 1906, the secretary of the Oregon
Tax Commission, appointed to redraft
the tax laws of the state. He has
served as counsel for the Oregon Com
mission since its organization, and In
more than nine years no order of the
Oregon Commission has been vacated
by any -court.
Mr. Aitchison is lecturer on the law

"I am sorry that I cannot pay my
friends the money I have an engage

of the notes, written in French, before
Adim Manon. aged 35, attempted to end
her life yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock.
Other women in the residence, at 271
Burnside street, heard Adim Manon's
screams of agony. Her door was locked
from the inside. They summoned Pa
trolman Teevin. and the police patrol,
with Patrolmen Nelson and Schulpius,
went to the place and forced the door,
taking the almost unconscious woman
to the Emergency Hospital.
She had swallowed the full contents
of a phial of bichloride of mercury
tablets in a glass of whisky. City Phy
sician Ziegler and Interne Amundson
applied the stomach pump and then
sent her to St. Vincent's Hospital.
A translation of the notes left by
the woman, secured by Detectives
Howell. Goltz and Hellyer, asked that
her body be not left in the room for
several days. They said that she was
tired of ill-health and continually
thought of suicide. .
Three years ago Adim Manon at
tempted suicide by stabbing herself.
She is unmarried and has i no known
relatives.
At St. Vincent's Hospital it is re
ported that her condition is critical.

Maurie Delovage came down from
Butte, Montana, last Thursday and
this is what he told me:
"The beans are stewed.
"Abe and I have decided to close our
Portland store, as we cannot devote our
time in the jewelry business any longer.
Large interests in our mining enter
prises in Montana demand all of our at
tention. I've already notified our land
lord that we vacate May 1st, and I'll
give you just five days in which to 'start
the fireworks' and advertise the stock

When I submitted the above copy to Maurie
Delovage for his O? K. this is what he said :
"I wonder if the public will believe us?"
"They may not believe that we'll cut prices as
you say."
"Don't you think it would be a good idea to
insert the photographs of our Montana hold
ings in this ad?"
"Believe us? Of course they'll believe us,"
I answered. "Why waste space on photo
graphs when you can publish bare facts?
Besides, advertising costs too much money not
to be believed; therefore, I am not putting
anything in print which cannot be substan
tiated in the cold gray dawn of investigation."

SUFFERED FROM LAME BACK,

Dear Editor:
Last Winter I suffered terribly from
lame back, weak kidneys and dizziness,
and uric acid in the blood caused rheu

their use.
