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.

LITHUANIANS, POLES WAR
WARSAW TJX ABLE TO EXPLAIN
ATTACK BY FOES.
Xeg-otlatlons Regarding Frontier
Are Broken Off; Attackers Say
They Were on Defensive.
i WARSAW, Sept. 4. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) 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". It is Baid
the supreme council has been informed
that the Lithuanians propose a new
line of demarcation running through
Marggabrawa Augustowo and Szuczyn.
It is noticed the Lithuanian govern
ment places the responsibility for the
clash upon the Poles, asserting that
the Lithuanians were.compelled to de
fend themselves.
Tonight's Polish communique as
serts that the attack by Lithuanians
upon the Poles was in pursuance of
an understanding between the Lithu
anians and the Russian bolsheviki.
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.
Another detachment of antl-bolshe-vik
Russians left Warsaw today to
Join General Wrangel, anti-bolshevik
commander in south Russia. Eigh
teen thousand men have left Warsaw
so far to join the Wrangel forces.
CONSTANTINOPLE. Sept. 4. Fresh
successes by General Wrangel against
the Boviet forces north of the Crimea
are reported in dispatches. Wrangel,
it is declared, is throwing back the
bolsheviki upon the Dnieper.
Further progress by the- Greeks
against the Turkish nationalists In
Asia Minor -was reported today. The

SOCIALISTS RAP SOVIET
GERMAN" PROFESSOR AVERS
BUREAUCRACY IS GAINING.
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.

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

SHOOTING. HELD MISTAKE1
,
Deputies Believed to Have Been
Taken for Disturbers.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Sept. 5. Investi
gation today by deputy sheriffs indi
cated that the shooting at a dance
hall in Bryn Mawr, a suburb, early
this morning when John J. 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.
Eight shots In all were fired, three
taking effect in Donovan's body, two
in Conlan's and two in Fault's. Con
lan and Faull were in a critical condi
tion tonight.
According to witnesses, the two of
ficers had escorted to an automobile
a short distance from the. dance hall
a young man who had been in a fight
on the dance floor. A crowd of 50
men followed them. Donovan and
Conlan held the crowd back while the
young man and his friends entered the
automobile. The officers were stand
ing with their backs to the car when
the driver suddenly backed the ma
chine, knocking Donovan down. A
man ran to Donovan's assistance and
immediately afterward shooting be
gan. Donovan thought he was being
attacked and fired the first shot, ac
cording to the officers' theory. Conlan
admits having joined in the firing, de
claring. he shot after he had been bit
and believing he had been attacked.
Faull, who was unarmed and standing
nearby, was shot in the back.

In other words, it will be left to the
other government to say whether it is
content to accept the terms of the
act and acknowledge the right of
congress to discriminate against its
shipping w'thout entirely canceling
existing treaties. Officials regard
these featies as ccntracts and do not
