Service Costs Sound High.
It Is fundamental that no business can
continue to operate unless it receives for
the service rendered or the Broods sold
an amount equivalent to the cost of ren
dering such service or furnishing such
goods. A manufacturer cannot indef
initely sell his product for less than its
cost of production. Bankruptcy and
abandonment are the Inevitable results.
This principle is quite as true in the con
duct of public service. The street rail
way cannot indefinitely operate at a loss.
All successful industrial enterprises have,
during the last several years of tncrease
In costs, adjusted the selling price of their
product to cover the Increased cost thereof.
The difficulties of the applicant, it Is
apparent, are largely due to the increased
costs of operation, labor and material,
and the reduced purchasing power of the
dollar.
In discussing revenues. It may be in
structive to direct the attention of those
interested to the fact that It requires
a sum of approximately 255,000 each
and every month to meet the payroll ex
penses alone, in addition to which some
410,000 per month are necessary to pay
taxes. In other words, ignoring the costs
of materials and supplies, repairs, and
all other causes of expense, these two

continuing the said application of the pe
titioner until action should be taken upon
certain recommendations of the commis
sion that there be submitted to the vot
ers of the city of Portland certain rer
medial measures for the relief of the car
rider and the company.
Pursuant to the commission's recom
mendations, the Portland city council sub
mitted to the voters of the city of Port
land, at a special election held on May
21. 1920, three measures designed to re
lieve the applicant and its patrons of
certain obligations and charges Imposed
by franchises and the charter of the city
of Portland. At such special election
all such remedial measures failed to be
adopted. The recommendation, in the
majority opinion of the commission that
the city of Portland purchase and main
tain the tracks of the applicant laid In
the streets of Portland did not receive
the approval of the city council and, as
a consequence, was not submitted to the
voters.
Increase Held Laxt Resort.
Supplemental application was filed by
the utility on May 2tt, l'.KJO, calling the
commission's attention to the action taken
by the voters of the city of Portland, and
to other conditions arising subsequent t
the issuance of the commission's opinion,
and requesting that relief be afforded in
accordance with the original application
and upon the record heretofore made and
submitted.
The commission, however, deeming ll
advisable to take additional testimony and
bring its record down to -date, again set
the matter for hearing at Portland on
the first day of June. li20. at which time
and place all Interested parties were af
forded an opportunity to be heard. The
applicant appeared by R. A. Letter, its
attorney, and the city of Portland by
John Mann, commissioner, and Stanley
Myers, deputy city attorney.
This commission, in its recent majority
opinion. P. S. C. Or. order 3S1, wherein
an increase in street car fares was de
nied, said. "That this Is neither the so
lution nor the proper remedy to be ap
plied when It can be avoided."
It was then, and still is. our belief that
an equitable proportion of the necessary
expense of providing an efficient street car
service could, and should, be paid by the
general taxpayer, and that this expense
should not be borne in its entirety by
the car rider.
The proper maintenance of ah efficient
transportation system, while a convenience
to some, is a vital necessity to the suc
cessful conduct of business throughout
the city. Therefore, the majority opinion

Recognition of Soviet Government'
Rather Than Trade Appears
Aim of Negotiations.
LONDON, June 10. (Special cable.)
The Daily Telegraph diplomatic cor
respondent gathers that the tirst com
munication received from Moscow in
reply to Gregory Krassin's message
transmitting the categorical demands
of the British government could hard
ly be described as altogether satisfactory.
It is understood to be not even very i
explicit in the matter of the immedi
ate liberation of British prisoner and
rather more evasive in regard to the
undertaking required agalnt continu
ance of the present bolshevik attacks
on British Interests In the east.
So far the information vouhesafed
by Krassin's expert assessors in re
spect to stocks of raw materials
available for export from soviet Rus
sia have been equally vague. The im
pression is saining ground, that Kras
sin's object Is not so much to transact
real business as to secure for the so
viet government a status amounting
almost to permanent recognition.
Premier Lloyd George in reply to a
flood of question In the house of
commons recently declared that be
fore Great Britain could undertake
any negotiations at all Russia must
guarantee there will be no attacks on
British interests in the east or at
home while negotiations are proceeding.

Had the increased wage scales, applicable during the latter part of 1919, been
in efiect for the entire year the expenses would have been further increased
by the amount of $327,000, which in turn would have reduced the rate of return
in 1919 from 3.85 per cent to 2.11 per cent. .
The adoption of our suggestions woulc
tiave resulted in lessening the value of
the railway system by several million
dollars and at the same time permitted.
through reductions in operating expense
and reduced valuation, a saving to the
car rider of some several hundred thou
sand dollars.
This suggestion was rejected by the city
council of Portland, upon the grounds,
as we are advised, that the city was
without power, under the constitution, to
make effective the recommendation. As
a consequence, the voters were not af
forded an opportunity to pass upon the
question, and the commission's plan to
hold fares at a minimum remains untried.
The commission has repeatedly pointed
out the fallacy of the city Imposing upon
the company certain public charges, name
ly : Bridge rentals, franchise taxes, car
licenses, free transportation for city em
ployes, and paving charges, and again In
the recent opinion (Order No. 581) sug
gested that the city relieve the com
pany, and, through them, the car rider,
of their obligation to meet this expense.
After considerable discussion, which
may or may not have influenced the re
sult, our suggestions as to the removal
of the so-cal led unjust charges were, in
effect, submitted to the voters, at special
election held May 21, 1020, and failed of
passage.
This commission certainly has no de
sire to question the action of the council
or of the voters of Portland, but we be
lieve that further study of the recom
mendations heretofore offered, would
produce beneficial results, and such sav
ing as Is accomplished in the cost of
operation will promptly reflect a propor
tionate reduction In the rate of fare.
Increased labor and material costs are
familiar to all. and a superficial examina
tion of the company's books by enyone
discloses the effect on revenues, white the
most minute Investigation and analysis
serves but to emphasize the need of
promptly providing the necessary funds
to permit a continuation of service.
Car Service Held Independent.
There remains an impression among
some that the light and power depart
ment of this utility is sufficiently re
munerative to absorb the loss on street
railway operations and yet permit a profit
to the company on the property as i
whole. Primarily this is fallacious re a
sonlng both in theory and in fact. The
principle of permitting one branch of
utility's operations to support another
and totally different service is wrong.
The courts would not countenance
procedure of this nature, and have
so held. Finally. the facts before
us show conclusively and beyond
question, that the light and power di
vision of this utility Is not financially
able to be of assistance to the street
railway.
This commission in previous opinions
expressed the thought that some 1
provement in service, and probably
ductions In expense, might be obtained
through slight rearrangement of track
and car routing, but due to Inability to
obtain franchises and other reasons such
su crest Ions have not been carried out
At this time we wish to reiterate our
previous opinion, and emphasize the de
slrability of the company and the city
authorities carefully studying such plans.
both as regards tracKage ana trariic, as
will facilitate the movement of cars and
make possible more efficient and eco
nomical operation.
Manifestly this commission has no
alternative, under the law and in light
We conceive it to be of selfish interest '
to the community that Its utilities be
kept financially solvent and able to fully
discharge their duties to the people served,
and from the foregoing statement it Is
readily apparent that an immediate in
crease in revenues is imperative.
Several plans have been suggested and
discussed at the various hearlngsMn this
case, designed to provide this needed rev
enue, including, among others, the estab
lishment of a zone system of fares, the
collection of a transfer charge in con
nection with fare increases, and the In
auguration of a straight fare increase un
der a plan similar to that now in effect.
Fare Not Permanently Fixed.
The application of fares based on the
distance passengers are hauled, the zone
system, is frequently advanced as a solu
tion of traction problems, and It must be
conceded that the principle at least is
sound. However, there are many factors
to be considered in connection therewith,
including the present arrangement of
trackage and routing of cars, and various
economic conditions, all of which have a
direct and important bearing upon the
question.
It is realized that Portland, covering a
wide range of territory, has a large num
ber of long and unprofitable hauls, and
while theoretically these might properly
be required to bear their full cost of opera
tion, it is questionable if such a plan could
be economically and efficiently placed in
operation at this time.
From the testimony and exhibits intro
duced by the applicant, substantiated by
the city's witnesses, our investigation and
based on the record, it is apparent that a
lare in excess or 7 cents must be estab
lished if an adequate service is to be
maintained. In the schedule herein pre
scribed we have endeavored to arrange a
group or rates wnicn win promote the use
of tickets, and eliminate so far as possible
the use of the undesirable cash fare and
cumbersome transfer charge, thereby elim-
nating traffic congestion occasioned by
the collection of same, resulting in speed-
ng up traffic and a reduction in operating
expenses. This plan was designed to per- I
in ii. iue i retj ucn i riacr &n opponunuy 10
ake advantage of reduced fares through
the purchase of tickets, available in small
quantities, and sold on x.he cars.
Under the system of present day regu-
ations, no rate of fare can be considered
as permanently fixed, and in this order i
the 'fares prescribed will remain In effect
for only such length of time aa conditions ,
warrant.
If improved conditions, action by the
council, or the voters of that community,
or any good and sufficient reason, makes
possible a reduction in street car fares,
this commission will not hesitate to act.
It is confidently hoped that future in
creases in the density of traffic, or relief
rrom other sources, may result In greatly
improving the finances of the utility, and
in order that the commission may be con-
ntly advised of the financial standing
and operating conditions of the company.
it will be required to file monthly state
ments showing in detail the number of
passengers carried, by rate classifications,
the gross operating revenue in detail, the
operating expenses, by accounts, and such
other information as the commission may
deem necessary for its full and complete
information.
Under this order the commission shall
expect the company to immediately take
steps to rehabilitate cars, tracks and
equipment, and place the same in such
condition as will promptly remove any
just cause for complaint by the car riders
of the city of Portland.
