The S-cent fare was estab lished by order of the State Public Service Commission, a stats body r re tea by tne voters and having no connection whatever trim the Council or the city administration.

The Mayor got the Council to rail a special meeting for tomorrow morn- ta at 10 o'clock and to drop the bars completely, allowing everybody a full opportunity to participate with the Council In presenting any and all facts as asked for by the Ftaie Commission.

One special invita tion has gone to ex'-Circult Judge Henry E.

Tho jitney question ha boon raised and the Council ha given It careful consider at Ion.

On trie same ballot a second rnasure bonding tho Jitneys for publlo protection la ' accident case passed by vote of more thsa two to one. In toco of thee facta It Is clearly not within the province of the City Council to overthrow the division of tho voters. Ths fact ta particularly -emphaalsed by tho sad experiences had by Portland during tho poiiod Jitney ran wild without regulation. I. for one. stand unalterably opposed to voting for Ibo repeal or annulment by tho Council of any measure passed by th voter. Let mo reiterate that th Council Is open to suggestions from tho public or any Indi vidual as to a moans of contesting tho 6- cent faro decision any more forcibly, rig. orouely or expeditiously than la being done at this time SALEM, Or., Jan. ' 30.- (Special.) Public Service Commissioner Corey, in a statement Issued , today, gave some facts and figures as to why the Public Service Commission issued the 6-cent fare order covering; passenger rates on the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company's lines in Portland. 'Large numbers of people have not read the order," said Mr. Corey today. and consequently do not understand it. nor the reason for Us Issuance. In this statement I hope to make plain the reasons for Issuing the order and to refute the assertions which have been made, derogatory to the commission be cause of the order. In his statement Mr. Corey, In part. Valuation Not Gneoawork. To refute tho charg that th valuation of ' tbo Portland streetcar company's prop erty as fixed by the Commission Is a mere gues and consequently Inaccurate, and to correct other erroneous Impressions, I wish to point out a fsw pertinent facts In con nection with this much debated Issue, The study and Investigation of tho utility loading up to and consummated In a rata bans veins of SltL.'lS.STl.ftft for th street- car system was before tho Commission for a period extending over four years, and waa under th direct supervision of Clyde B. Altchlson and J. P. IS e well, wbo are recosnlxed as having no superiors In valua tion work of this nature. This la evidenced by tbo selection of Mr, Altchlson by ths 47 state Commissions to represent their In terests In the railroad valuation work now belns conducted by tho division of valua tion of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion, and ths selection of Mr. Newell by the Canadian government to supervise ths valu ation of railroads that the Canadian gov ernment contemplates taking over. Mr. Altchlson has since been appolned as a member of the Interstate Commerce Com mission by Presldsnt Wilson, entirely. I be lieve, as a reward of merit, ha being a Republican. Notwithstanding tho fact that this valua tion waa fixed by experts after year of investigation, w are conatantly being ad- i vtaed through the press and otherwise tnat Iho valuation la Inaccurate, and that we should accept that of non-experts arrived at by a process of doubtful comparison and questionable jmsatal deductions. Valuation Declared Fair. t Th valuation a fixed by this Commis- Ian as a tnstat at hsrkbona TA tin OI the company property as tho court would j pimlt. and. contrary to puouc opinion. doe not contain any "watered stock' or any stock whatsvoi. Neither doe It In clude any allowance for franchise values. Ho if It were true that th company paid llltona for It franchise. It baa no bearing whatever on the rate oi rare, jjonaxions nd bonus given tho car company to in dure It to extend It service Into outlying additions to th city of Portland ar also omitted from the valuation. Tbo Commission had no alternative than to Increaso tho streetcar faro, because the company could not possibly operate with out iu Without tbo Increased far th com- nanv would go Into the hand of a re celver. who. by order of th court, would havo to eliminate 41 per cent of the car or ask this Comiuiaaton for an Increase h rates In order lo protect tn actual invest meni In plant. If th car patron are will ing to do with 41 per. cent lea cars, th undersigned is milling to restore tho five cent fare. Positively the company cannot give both adequate service and a five-cent far during tbl penod of abnormally hign nrlces. i rTho Jitney may afford a f Ive-cen t fare within a very limited sone, but a the aver age haul In Portland la four and one-half miles, manifestly th Jitney rar wou.a do far la excess of six centa to all outside thi close-in sons. Ketorns Are Overestimated. T find the Impression prevalent In Port land that this Commission ha granted an Increase In carfare In order to guarantee a S per cent return on the value of the prop ertv used In serving th public This li an error. Th Increase In revenue will not nav th Increase of wage allowed th streetcar men by the board of arbitrators. and the waves of the additional men made necessary by tbo adoption of an eight-hour orkdsy basis. Tho company la making less than l per cent on Its Investment under the six-cent faro. It would require S.7i cents, or practically a seven-cent fare. to afford a per cent return. Evidently some do not realise that the use of upwards of XlH.ooo.ouO invested in the streetcar plant In Portland, which plant is fumlxhed Its power at actual cost by the liahting company. - and to which the Commiaaion faaa apportioned but a smail part of tho total overneaa coats or tne Portland Hallway. Light ar Power Coin- oanv. 1 afforded th city of Portland with out the nee-realty of paying a return thereon. Notwlthetanding this, there are some who desire to sandbag th company and con fiscate It Investment as well. The large salaries mentioned In tho pre ar not paid by tho carrier, and a vary small part of th overhead has been apportioned to th streetcar department.

The idea is to get the jitneys back any old way, 1 so they will take revenues away from our Company, without a thought of the con- 1 I sequences to the public as a reasonable or sensible solution of local transportation problems. f.

I ' Still others insist that the Company should voluntarily and immediately abolish the 6-cent fare and go back to the 5-cent fare, when it is, or should be, very well known that such , a programme would throw the Company on the financial rocks in a very short time. 1 I The purpose of this advertisement and athers that we shall publish later is to present I some, of the fundamental facts and conditions which have inevitably led not only our I Company but, every public utility of any importance in America to appeal for similar relief, namely, increased 'revenues. . We feel confident that we shall be able to convince any thinking person that the only 1 I way to preserve adequate streetcar service was an increased fare, such as has been granted by the Public Service Commission, and that, without it, it would have been 1 only a very brief time until service would, of necessity, be substantially impaired, wages V' and working conditions of the carmen materially reducedor the Company thrown into the hands of a receiver. We believe we shall be able to prove to you that a 6-cent fare for our Company is 1 j. , entirely fair, just and reasonable, when the conditions under which we are compelled j to operate are given full and proper consideration. j And, above all, we want you to bear plainly in mind that the 6-cent fare idea is not ! a new thing, nor is it a local issue.

To look one's best and feel one's best IS to enjoy an inside bath each morning to flush from the system the previous day's waste, sour fermentations and poisonous toxins before it is absorbed into the blood. Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incombustible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken each day leave In the alimentary organs a certain amount of indigestible ma terial, which if not eliminated, form toxins and poisons, which are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which are Intended to suck in only nourishment to sustain the body. If you want to see the glow of healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, you are told to drink every morning upon arising a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless means of wash ing the waste material and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, before putting more food Into the stom ach. Men and women with sallow skins, liver spots, pimples or pallid complex ion are those who wake up with a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, others who are bothered with head aches, bilious spells, acid stomach or constipation should begin this phos phated. hot water drinking. A quarter pound of limestone phos phate costs very little at the drug store, but Is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, purifies and freshens the skin on the outside, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the inside orsans.
