Shepherd Declares That Public Service Commission Lacks Jurisdiction in City. Belief that the public service com mission of Oregon has no jurisdiction to fix the. rates charged by the tele phone company in Portland because "the contract, entered- into between tha city and the company provides for such rates was expressed in a let ter sent to Mayor Baker and mem bers of the city council yesterday by George S. Shepherd, an attorney. Mr. Shepherd maintained in his let ter that the franchise granted to the telephone company for a period of 25 years, which has but five years to run, can be modified by the city council of Portland for the reason that the public service commission of Oregon did not have anything- to do with the amount of compensation to be paid , to the city by the company, And it was further pointed out in the letter that the maximum rates that can be charged are a part of this compensation. City Attorney Grant, to whom the communication will be referred, de clared last night that he did not be lieve that Mr. Shepherd was correct in his deductions. "If his argument Is based on fact, it is certain that my office would have discovered It long ago and would have taken full advantage of it," said Mr. Grant. "When the pub lic utilities act was adopted the ques tion of rate making for all public utilities, other than those operated by municipalities, was taken out of the hands of municipalities. And the contents of charters or franchises do not supersede the right of the pub lic service commission to fix rates." J. A. CHURCHILL RETURNS Superintendent of Schools Back From EastAVith Bride.

Republican leaders were confronted today with tho possibility that they might be unable to bring about a vote in the house on the compromise soldiers' bonus bill under suspension of the rules next Monday. With a favorable report of the measure by the ways and means committee prom ised by Chairman Fordney, they gen erally were agreed that the . bill should be disposed of by the house early next week. Inability, however, to ascertain whether Speaker Gillet, who is in Florida with President Harding, would entertain a motion to sus pend the rules, which would require two-third vote "for passage of the bill and would automatically -bar all amendments, coupled with reports that he might decline to do so, threw the whole question of procedure into the air. ' K . Speaker's Views Sought. Republican members of the ways and means committee, who at a meet ing declined to proceed with their plans' for a report of the measure at the meeting of the full committee scheduled for tomorrow, despite ob jections to its provisions voiced by Secretary Mellon and Controller of the Currency Crisslnger, held a con ference later in the day with mem bers of the republican steering com mittee and several others, including Representative Walsh, Massachusetts, acting speaker, and Representative F;ss, . Ohio, and Towner, Iowa. .It was agreed at this meeting not to make a final decision as to the procedure until the . views of the speaker could be learned. In case he opposed the suspension ox the rules programme, it ' was said that the bill probably would be brought up early next week under a rule which, although it would require only a majority vote on final passage and could be drafted to prevent amend ments from the floor, would permit the offering of a motion to recommit. Leaders said such a motion might be designed to. saddle the bill with some drastic amendment which was distasteful to the proponents of the measure as it stands. Other developments of the day in the bonus situation were the issuance of statements by two members of the house Representative Treadway of Massachusetts, a republican member of the ways and means committee. and Representative Hawes, democrat, Missouri and the announcement by Representative Frear, Wisconsin, re publican member of the ways and means committee, that he had writ ten Secretary Mellon "replying" to the letter of the treasury head to Mr. ordney, ' in which Mr. Mellon de clared the' bill, if enacted, would in volve a "dangerous abuse of govern ment credits." Mr. Treadway declared It was "ap parent that an effort to pass a bonus bill at this time is futile unless financed by a sales tax." The people. he contended, want less, rather than more, taxation. Various Stands Recalled. "You have objected before the com mittee," Mr. Frear told the secretary. to any inheritance or gift taxes or the re-enactment of the excess prof- ts tax. You have suggested taxes to which we finally tentatively agreed. only to be informed that the presi dent, whom you frequently see, would veto a bill if accompanied by such taxes. You objected before the commit tee to paying the bonus by treasury notes as authorized by law and as the treasury did when paying $3,000, 000,000 of canceled war contracts to which we were advised you never objected. The recent bill to stabilize railway securities appropriating 500,000,000, passed by the house, was with the approval of your depart ment. You have objected before the committee to paying any soldiers' bonus out of foreign debts, which the soldiers helped to save for us. Soldier Reception Held Icy. In fact many icicles of sympathy and freezing advice are handed out that are in harmony with the last protest against 'frozen credits.' These hypothecated credits would probably ever reach l per cent of all the loans by the banks and trust companies ombined, nor will they freeze sol- iers half as much as the cold re ception accorded them in many quar ters. The figures you present are not admitted to be correct, either. in fact or in effect." After declaring that enactment of sales tax would eventually shift income taxes paid by the wealthy "to the consumers of the land," Mr. Frear aid: For illustration, Mr. Secretary, Henry K. Klein, page 155 in his re cent work, rates your wealth at 300,000,000. Assuming, for illustra tion, that one-tentn of that amount is nearer right, then your annual in come tax paid to the treasury is probably over a million dollars and his amount is believed to be approx imately the income tax paid by two publishers of Washington papers which carry frequent sales tax edi- m : : : : m Cam fir your money and it mil cmfirym9 SAVING systematically dollar to dollar, month by month multiplies dollars for you.
