TIIE MORNING OHEGOXIAN, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER G. 1D20 HEW VOTE ON GAR TOLLS PROPOSED ' ... M l. I EOOO .Names Needed to Get i,, Action by Voters. SAME ISSUE BEATEN ONCE If "Excess Assessments" Are Re moved, Workers Propose Re hearing ou Carfare, ' Voters of Portland may have an opportunity at the coming: general election again to pass upon the ques tion of "excess assessments" against the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company. . O. Bailey, assistant state attorney-general, Saturday ruled that the state public eervice commission has the power to determine what charges gainst the railway company were "reasonable or unreasonable," and that they could reopen hearings on street car fares despite the fact that the people voted- not to relieve the company of any charges now against it. F. D. Broderick. one of the signers cf the petition directed tm the com mission, asking a reopening of the cuue, declared yesterday that plane are under Consideration to circulate a. petition asking that the question again be placed before . the people themselves at the coming election, de spite the attorney-general's ruling. It was pointed out that if S000 names were obtained to such a peti tion and it could be placed on the ballot, that would be but another way to "gain relief as hastily as possible." "The sole purpose of placing the mat ter again before the people In an election would be to "try all routes to the same end." ; Haling Made Marco. 27. ' On March 27 last the public service Commission found that provisions of the company's franchise relating to franchise - taxes, car licenses, free transportation for city employes, bridge rentals and paving as sessments were "unreasonable and amounted to double taxation." The commission recommended that Port land discontinue auch charges, and on May 21 the question was placed before the voters. They decided that the charges should etand. As a con sequence, the railway company peti tioned for a higher fare and obtained an increase from 6 to 8 cents. The petitioners then asked a re hearing on the case, and the com mission turned to the . attorney-general for a ruling as to whether they cad power, In f&cQ of the-vote, to de cide the matter. The commission liow has two alter natives, according to Mr. Broderick. They may render a decision, or they may ask an official ruling from the supreme court whether or not they have such a right. The opinion of the attorney-general Is now a ruling In the sense that It would constitute au thority for action unless the commia- eion saw. fit to take such, action on x opinion of ita coup.se!. All of this; the petitioners stated, would take time.' and that Is why plans are now. afoot again to place the matter before the people in a general election. It is thought that the voters, hav ing received a demonstration of what their, decision of May 21 brought might turn the tide and relieve the company of the excess charges, -placing the burden on the general tax fund. In such a manner citizens generally would be made to bear the burden, they stated, and not patrons fit the cars exclusively. , Little Time Remains. Little time remains for the circula tion of such a petition under the in itiative and referendum act. A con ference will be held tomorrow, when Charles G. Benson, attorney for Broderick, B. H. Fisher and V. Cha 5ek, the petitioners, will confer. At this meeting plans for placing the petition before the people will be dis cussed, and if It Is thought that suffi cient time remains before the election to obtain EOOO names, steps will be taken to that end. In the meantime the petitioners express the hope that the public serv ice commission will act speedily and decide whether the charges against the company should not be "more fairly distributed." If such charges are then taken from the shoulder of the railway company, the public service commission will be asked to hold a hearing on fares and reduce - the present charge of 8 cents. U. S.

An attack on Polish forces by the Lithuanians with ma chine guns and artillery near Seiny, 35 miles nortnwest of Grodno, is1 an nounced. The reports declare the at tack was unprovoked, and that the Lithuanians had received orders to oc cupy Augustowo. The Polish press comments on the Lithuanian action as inexplicable, as the provisional frontier between Po-. land and Lithuania has not yet been reached by the Poles. The latter con tend that the Lithuanians are occupy ing several localities on the Polish side of the frontier. It Is also announced that the ne gotiations regarding the frontier and the future relations of Poland and Lithuania have been broken oft and i that the Polish delegates are return ing to Warsaw. These delegates comprise a special mission which went to Kovno about a month ago to con fer with the Lithuanians".

The statement says the Lithuanians have crossed the Curzon line, the ten tative Polish boundary drawn by the allies, without declaring war. AVith regard to the Polish-Russian fighting the statement announces that between Wlodowa and Dubienka, on the center, the Russians launched an attack to force a crossing of the Bug, but were repulsed. It is asserted that the Poles have learned that at Berzec the Russians were compelled to fight under the pressure of machine guns from the rear. Near Relets the Poles are advanc ing and repeatedly breaking the soviet resistance. To the east of Lemberg the Poles have occupied the railway junction of Krasne after hard fighting.

Opinion Nations- Could: Adopt One Another Economically Dropped, Radicals Are Informed. BERLIN, Sept. 3. (By the Associ ated Press.) Soviet Russia was un favorably criticised by speakers who addressed the party conference of the independent socialists which met to day to discuss the Moscow Interna tionale. "Whatever our sentiments toward the Russians may be, the fact remains that they have not given proof that they are able to establish socialism In their country," said Professor Karl Ballod, who has returned from Russia. "I once was of the opinion that so viet Russia and Germany could sup port one another economically, but I have now abandoned this opinion," he told the German radicals. He was pessimistic regarding Russia's food resources. The entire Volga region, he asserted, would yield only enough grain for seed. The transportation collapse in Rus sia, he declared, also had been de structive in its effects on the rehabili tation of the country, while the com plete depreciation of paper money had resulted in peasants refusing to sur render their products. Prof. Ballod advised against-recommending that German workers settle in Russia. Industrial production of soviet Rus sia, he said, has fallen to about one sixth of its former volume, rrhis, he explained, is due partially to a lack of raw materials. The sugar industry, he said, has wholly collapsed, while coal production In the Doretx basin is only one-sixth of the former yield. Professor Ballod said he believed In the idealism of the soviet leaders, but asserted they had proved themselves wholly incapable of effecting an eco nomic restoration of Russia. Bureaucracy in soviet Russia, he de clared, is as bad as it was under the czar and is In the ascendency. A ma jority of the independent leaders ex pressed themselves as opposed to union with Moscow. Georg Ledebour was warmly applauded when - he charged the Moscow government with carrying .on "dangerous anti-social- lstic policies in their own country. He showed them unqualified to as sume international leadership or dic tate terms to others. ADANA DISGUSTS WOMAN AMERICAN RELIEF WORKER DESCRIBES CONDITIONS.

FARE CUT DOUBTED -EVEN -MINUS TOLLS Alleged Franchise Burdens Held Not Affecting Rides. HEARING FIGURES CITED State Employe Declares Reduction Would Amount to Only Frac-r tion of Cent Per Patron. SALEM, Or.. Sept. 5. (Special.) Should the Oregon public service com mission accept the interpretation placed upon the public utility act by Assistant Attorney-General Bailey and eliminate from the assessments of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company all of the so-called franchise burdens referred to the voters of that city at the special elec tion held on May 21, the reduction In the operating and overhead expenses of the corporation would not be suf ficient to lower the cash fares more than a fraction of a cent. This assertion, made by a state em ploye who has given the street car case considerable attention, was based on figures submitted to the commission by the traction corpora tion at the time of the last hearing on the fare question, and accepted by the body as the true financial condi tion cf the corporation. Cat la Scrip Held Possible. . It might be possible, however, one state official said, to give the car riders the benefit of a slight decrease In scrip or book transportation, al though the reduction would be small when apportioned among all tho patrons. Although not ready to make any definite statement as to what action will be taken as a result of the attorney-general's ruling on the pub lic utility act, one member of the commission said today that under the opinion it still would be necessary to investigate and determine what fran chise provisions now imposed upon the railroad corporation were unrea sonable. 'Without going Into the case at any length," said this commissioner, "it does not appear to me that more than two of these franchise provi sions will be found unreasonable. Free Rides, Tolls Are Two, "One of these involves free rides for city employes and the other bridge tolls. It hardly seems possible that the commission would be warranted in eliminating paving and street as sessments from the levfes made against the street-car company when these taxes have to be paid by pri vate citizens and corporations. The sum of money that would be saved by eliminating these two franchise provisions would hardly be noticeable and would have no material effect on the cash-fare schedule now in effect." Another question entering into the removal of the alleged unreasonable tax burdens now imposed upon the railway company is the action of the voters of Portland when they went to the polls last May and by decisive majorities refused to sanction the elimination of any of the franchise levies. ' Cash Fare Cut Doubted. Local officials argue that these voters probably have not changed their minds since that time, and will protest any action to that end on the part of the public service commission. From a survey of figures in posses sion of the public service commission it appeared that the elimination of the burdens now Imposed upon the traction company by the. city of Port land would have the one effect of reducing slightly the operating and overhead expense of the corporation without giving corresponding benefits to the car riders as far as the cash fare phase of the situation is con cerned. None of the commissioners would How Many People Know There Are 32 Teeth ?

Donovan, a special deputy sheriff, was instantly killed and John R. Conlan. another special deputy, and Lester Faull, 21, were probably fatally wounded, was done by the two officers who mistook each other in the darkness for attack ing members of a gang of youths whom they had ejected from the dance hall earlier in the evening for disor derly conduct.
