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.

I . . ' Facts- yis; .... "Pr e j udice
1 In the present agitation against the 6-cent fare the facts in the case have been almost ,
. entirely overlooked. The appeal to the public has aimed chiefly to arouse their prej- f
1 ? udice, and its sole object appears' to be to "get even" with our Company. .1
I We believe the vast majority of the people are for fair play and ARE INTERESTED
1 IN KNOWING THE. -FACTS. - . H . ' - 1
If you analyze the statements, or arguments of those who are attempting to stir
I up the prejudice of the people, you will find that they are insisting only that something
I be done to hamper, cripple or paralyze the Company without offering a constructive
economic programme based on sound business principles.
1 Some of. our opponents want the jitneys restored and allowed to run wild, without 1
I restriction or regulation of any kind. 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. ' J.. , ) ..
I ' Other opponents demand' that all existing franchises arid agreements between the .
City and the Company be revoked without presenting anything in their place that expe- I
I . rience has shown will either accomplish the results aimed at or afford the necessary
I protection to the. public or a satisfactory guarantee of adequate streetcar service.
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. The movement began several years ago and has
! been moving with gradually increasing speed and insistence all over the United States. '
j This situation we shall discuss in our next advertisement.
