DEFICIT INCURRED DAILY
1'ranklin '. Griffith Declares Loss
of $3000 Is Suffered Kvcry
Day of Operation.
That the Portland liailway, Llffht
& J'uwer company cannot continue
Riving adequate street railway ser
vice for the present rate of fare is
the statement of Franklin T. Griffith,
president of the corporation, who re
turned yesterday from San Francisco.
lie declares that he has not' yet had
an opportunity to analyze the recom
mendations of the public service com
mission and is not prepared to make
any stat ment as to the partnership
proposed in which the city ownership
of tho street railway tracks is suk
Bested. With, a daily deficit of S3U00
in the operation of tho lines and no
rrturn whatever to the stockholders
of the company during the last six
years, he declares that it is utterly
beyond the power of the corporation
to secure money necessary for better
ments or extensions.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders will- take place at the gen
eral offices of the company April 7.
C. .V Clark of Philadelphia, chairman
of the executive committee of the
board of directors, will arrive in Port
land at the end of this week on his
annual visit and to he present at the
meeting. Mr. Griffith was in aan
Krancisco last week attending a meet
Inc of the. committee on water power
development of the National Electric
Light association, of which every
power company in the country is a
member.
KerommpDdation Dlnppolnf.
The official copy of the recommen
dation of the public service commis
sion awaited his return.
"The fact that the commission has
not rendered a decision after a full
presentation of facts is a great dis
appointment to me." said President
Griffith. '"The company has been giv
ing service at less than cost for a
very long time, and since otir pe
tition was filed last August the in
creased wages have raised the oper
ating cost to such a figure as to make
impossible the continuance of ade
quate service at the present rate of
fare.
"There was practically no variance
between the showing of the company
as to operating expenses and revenues
and that of the experts of the com
mission and the city, who spent sev
eral months in an exhaustive investi
gation of the facts. The daily deficit.
for the operation of the street rail
ways of Portland is at present ap
proximately $3000. The company is
not in financial condition to continue
operation of the street railway as a
philanthropic enterprise.
Analvaln A'ot Yet Made.
"I have just returned to Portland
and have not yet had an opportunity
to analyze the recommendations of
the commission, and I do not care to
express an opinion on the practica
bility of the partnership proposed.
"Jierause of the inadequate earn
ings of the railway department of the
company the stockholders have re
ceived no return from their invest
ments, approximately J L'H.OOO.OOO, dur
ing tho last six years. Wo have been
able to pay tho interest on our bond
ed indebtedness, but stockholders
have received nothing whatever in
the way of return. Since a public
utility cannot stand still it must cith
er go forward or fall back, and going
forward means constant investment
of additional money for extending
lines and improving service. Funds
for betterments and extensions can-
rot be secured unless and until it
shown that existing investment is
safe and payin? a return. Inade
quate revenue therefore logically and
necessarily results in retarding de
velopment."
perior Judge Everett Smith Saturday,
as he sentenced A. J. Jones, colored,
convicted of robbing the gas station
at Thirty-third avenue and East ,
union street January zi. to serve
from five to ten years in Walla Walla
penitentiary.

OLTMI'IA, Wash., March 27. (Spe
cial.) Governor Hart, disregarding
precedent long established and closely
followed by former administrations,
has determined that In the future
fullest publicity will be given all pe
titions for the exercise of the pardon
ing power In behalf of persons con
victed of violation of the laws of the
state.
This decision has been reached by
the governor as' a result of renewed
pressure brought to bear to secure
pardon or parole for J. Harwood Mor
ris, convicted of embezzlement of
funds of the Fremont State bank.
Governor Hart also is interested in
ascertaining whether the people of
the state are willing to indorse the
proposal that law violators should be
absolved from punishment to relieve
members of the family of the guilty
person of humiliation and grief. On
this phase of the argument presented
in support of pardon for Morris, the
governor says:
"If only single men are to be penal
ized for violation of law, that will be
the same as saying that all men who
have incurred legal penalties or in
tend to do so must marry to escape
the consequences. The valuation of
humiliation and grief imposed by
crimes upon families must be the
same. No governor can be asked to
infer that one family will suffer by
this and another will remain indiffer
ent, or that it can be just to spare
one family and punish tho other. If
the family plea for pardons is valid in
one case it is valid in all, for they all
do and must suffer. The question re
mains as to whether law enforcement
is ot be abandoned or practically nul
lified on this account."
Family Chief Sufferer.
Replying to F. E. Hartshorn, 1712
Belmont avenue, Seattle, on the Mor
ns case. Governor Hart wrote:
I realize in this instance, as in
many others, that the family of a
criminal is more punished than the
criminal himself, but unfortunately
the law does not take this into consid
eration. In fixing punishment for the
man who violates the law, and while
have the deepest sympathy for the
family as well as for Morris, I see no
eason for Interfering with the judg
ment of the court."
To Robert Devers of Seattle Gover
nor Hart wrote:
'It appears in the statement of the
trial judge that if the testimony of
Daniel Landon was true Morris was
properly convicted. This refers to
the testimony of Daniel Landon, a
member of the state senate, with
whom I have been Intimately ac
quainted for a number of years. I
think no one acquainted with Senator
andon will question his veracity, lor
his reason, as stated in Judge Back's
report, the pardon is denied.
Morrln ovr at I.ibrrty.
Morris was tried and convicted in
he superior court of King county.
Judge Back of Clarke county, being
ailed to preside at the trial. On
appeal to the supreme court the con
viction was affirmed. Morris is now
t liberty pending determination of
his petition for a rehearing.
Mayor Caldwell of Seattle, has tele
graphed the governor as follows:
'I hope you will see your way clear
to pardon J. Harwood Morris. Friends
n whqm I have the utmost confidence
nsist that a great wrong is being
done him."
Judge A. W. Frater, of the King
ounty court, also signed the petition
for clemency in behalf of Morris, to
gether with a majority of the jury
that found the latter guilty and sev
eral hundred petitioners.
Corporation Counsel W. F. Meier,
of Seattle, is another who indorses
the application for clemency for Mor
ris, as is Frank P. Helsell, deputy
prosecutor, who tried the case. Hel
sell does not question the guilt of the
defendant, but suggests that if the
question of a man's family is to be
considered in determining the matter
of granting pardons, then such con
sideration could be given' in this case.
"One Who Lout" 'Writes.
Opposing the pardon of Morris, the
governor has received a letter signed
"One Who Lost," which says: T have
knowledge that petitions asking for
the pardon of J. Harwood Morris are
being circulated among wealthy resi
dents and bank officials of Seattle.
It will be well for you to investigate
in the Fremont district before taking
any action in the matter."
Governor Hart believes that by giv
ing publicity to petitions for pardon
an approximate knowledge of public
sentiment will be obtained and a
fuller understanding of the merits
of applications procured.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, March 27. (Spe

for any county in the entire country
is that made .in trapping moles and
gophers in Washington county in the
last two years. County bounty rec
ords show that in 1918 and 1919 the
total of 13,711 moies were trapped,
and 16,189 gophers destroyed. This
was the result of a campaign put on
by the Washington County Farm bu
reau under N. C. Jamison, county
agent.
Mole pelts pooled by Mr. Jamison
numbered 11.485. They were sold for
$2865. i0. Cost of the county agent
work to the county ' for these two
years was only $2il0.
COLD INJURES BROCCOLI
Douglas County Growers Laj
Blame for Scarcity in Tonnage.
ROSEBURG. Or., March 27. (Spe
cial.) The extremely cold weather of
December in Douglas county is
blamed by broccoli growers for their
inability to ship only about half the
usual tonnage to eastern markets this
year. From what can be learned at
this time, not more than 30 carloads
will be available for shipment this
season, although the acreage planted
was fully as great as other years and
the crop got an exceptionally good
start from the September rains.
Prices are excellent and growers
are confident that the broccoli busi
ness is a good risk and are already
planning to plant extensively this
summer.

From recent letters of ten farmers who have used Giant
Powders for Stumping we make these extracts:
"I. Your Giant Farm Powders shoot the roots. 2. They
have wide breaking power and less bad gases than others.
3. I get the same excellent results from them every time.
4. They are always uniform. 5. I used eleven tons and
wouldn't have any other make. 6. I want to sell a lot of
other powder that I have because Giant does the work much
better. 7. Genuine Giant can't be equalled. 8. I don't have
to use so much powder Vhen I blast with Giant, p. You,
know what we need for stumping. 10. I save money by
using Giant Powders."
