After four weeks' progress in the
telephone rate re-hearing, the scene
of the hearjrg will be switched back
to Salem, w'.ere It will convene to
morrow morning at 10:30 o'clock. The
first two weeks of the hearing were
held In Salem, and the last two weeks
In Portland.
In making the announcement that
the hearing would be concluded in Sa
lem, Chairman - Williams explained
that work of the commission is piling
up in Salem, and the necessity of hav
ing a large number of the commission
staff in Portland, where they cannot
handle this work, is not only a heavy
expense to the state, but is putting
the commission behind in its docket.
"No one .-ealiied that the telephone
re-hearing would consume as much
time as it has." said Mr. Williams.
"We changed the hearing to Portland
in order that witnesses of the city
might have opportunity to testify
withouftraveling to Salem. All such
witnesses have been given an op
portunity to be heard, and to save the'
expense of the commission we have
d-ecided to conclude the hearing in
Salem."
HearlnK to End Soon.
It ' i practically certain that the
hearing will be concluded this week,
probably Thursday or Friday. As it is
customary for attorneys on all sides
of a rate controversy to file briefs
with the commission instead of mak
ing oral arguments, the case will be
concluded as quickly as all testimony
and rebuttal end.
Attorney Shaw said yesterday he
expected to complete his portion of
the testimony within two days, and
the city probably will occupy a day
at least in rebuttal testimony.
Cross-examination of F. H. Leggett,
general manager of the telephone dis
tribution department of the Western
Electric company, was completed yes
terday morning. Assistant City At
torney Tomlinson, Major Garrison
Babcock, telephone engineer, and
E. M. Couin, representing the Ore
gon Telephone federation, par
ticipated in this examination, which
consumed the greater portion of the
morning session.
Higher Kate Paid on Bonds.
It was developed that the Western
Electric company, with 98 per cent of
its preferred stock the property of
the American Telephone & Telegraph
company, does not enjoy the financial
assistance from the parent company
that is accorded to the associated
telephone companies.
Testimony " previously introduced
showed that the parent company
loans associated companies money at
a 6 per cent interest rate, but Mr.
Leggett told the commission that the
Western Electric company must pro
vide for its own financing.
In 1920, he said, the Western Elec
tric issued 5-year 7 per cent gold
bonds amounting to 127,000.000. This
block of bonds were sold to the pub
lic at 984 cents, a price from which
selling costs were deducted. There
fore the Westren Elecrtic paid far
in excess for Its money than do the
associated companies, according to
the witness.
,' Relations Held Profitable.
The witness explained that the par
ent company was not in a position
to aid the Western Electric finan
cially, because of its obligation un
der a contract to aid in financing the
lusBuciatea companies.
Major Babcock asked several ques
lions relating to manufacturing
prices, but Mr. Leggett said he was
not qualified to discuss in detail
manuiacturing features of the bus!
ness, as ne was versed only in the
aistrioution or supplies. .The wit
ness agreed to send price 'lists fur
nished to associated companies, for
a piace in the record.
The relations of the Western FW-
tric company with the Pacific Tele
phone & Telegraph company are
profitable both to the Western Elec
tric and to the Pacific company, in
me uyimon or air. ieggett.
Testimony Is Attacked.
After it had been disclosed that
Mr. Leggett was not familiar with
the cost of supplies manufactured by
his company. Attorney Tomlinson
moved that all portions of his testi
mony relating to price comparisons
be stricken from the records. Mr.
lorannson maintained that such tes
tlmony was secondary Information
aad should not have a place in the
record.
Omar Spencer, associate counsel for
the telephone company, attacked the
plea of Mr. Tomlinson" and said the
testimony nad Deen gathered by Mr.
Leggett from reliable sources.
The commission took the objection
ana answer under consideration, re
serving Judgment until- later in the
cue.
After Mr. Leggett left the stand
the. city recalled H. A. Roak. general
manager of the Noathwestern long
distance telephone company, who
gave statistical -information relating
to the average length of calls. This
testimony was a missing link in his

OFFICE OPEN EVENINGS
For the convenience of people
who -work all day, this office
will remain open every evening
(except Sundays) until 8 o'clock.
Take advantage of this oppor
tunity to have your work done
after working hours.
BY HONESTY OF PURPOSE, SKILLFUL WORKMANSHIP,
PAINLESS METHODS and VERY Reasonable Prices, I Have
Made My Business a Sweeping Success.
I have made it possible for the working man, the shop girl
and the family in average circumstances to secure the necessary
Dental Service without sacrificing self-respect.
I have banished fear of the Dental Chair from the minds of
the present-day generation, and even nervous women and timid
children no longer consider a visit to my office a thing to bo
dreaded, because they know they will be spared torture and pam
that was formerly associated with dentistry.
Instead of confusing people by misleading terms and descrip
tions of materials used in my office, I simply say:
All dental work performed by myself or any member of my
staff is guaranteed. The material is guaranteed exactly as repre
sented. The workmanship, fit and wearing qualities are guaran
teed superior to any work of like nature turned out by any
competitive concern at double my prices.
