"A Word to trie
Wise is Enough'
r AND when you're buying, tires, cord or fabric, follow
Jl. Poor Richard's advice and say only the word
"Firestone." This word is not only the name of a
tire foremost in quality, it is the name of a man who
is personally responsible for that quality, which
means safety, comfort and mileage for you.
More and more you realise the value in a name, and
more and more you understand Firestone leadership
when you ride on Firestone super-size Cord Tires.
They combine luxurious, care-free ridinfc with utmost
efficiency and with that pre-eminent Firestone
advantage, "Most Miles per Dollar."
Since the Firestone stock distribution plan went into
effect you have 11,000 employes of the organization
working as one to uphold quality and keep down cost.

PORTLAND REDUCED
Cut Ranges From 5 to 10
Per Cent by Order of the
Commission.
REASONS ARE SET FORTH
Competition Held Responsible for De
crease in Electric Revenues Dur
ing th ZAst Fw Tears.
Salem. Or.. June 9 Commercial
lighting and heating in Portland has
been rdure,j from f to 10 per cent by
an order icsued today by the Oregon
public service commission. The order
reduces the electric lighting, heating,
and power rats of the Portland. Rail
way, Light & Power company and goes
into effe. t on July 1, 1917.
The findings of (he commission in
dicate that the company has not been
receiving a fair return upon the rea
sonable value of the property, the total
value of which In Portland. Vancouver,
and the Willamette valley Is $19,192,-
153.0. and It has not been possible to
reduce the rates upon a revenue basis
Competition Lowin Values
Competition has lowered the value
of the commercial lighting service by
giving a lower rate than this company.
The new rate is designed to give the
P. R., I & P. company ultimately the
greatest possible return by providing
more of energy at lower rates. This
increased use will naturally result
from the equality of rates for all com
panies which is approached under the
new conditions.
The new rate eliminates discrimina
tory features Involved in the stepped
form of the old schedule, by which it
was possible for consumers under cer
tain conditions to get considerable en
ergy without additional charge.
The consumer under this rate will
enjoy a reduction in his yearly bills of
from 5 to 10 per cent while It is ex
pected the company will get more cus
tomers and so extend its use.
"The sharp decrease In electric rev
enues during the past few years," aavs
the ruling, "and the probability, undr
the inequality of ratea which has ex
isted, of continuing reductions with
consequent damage to the Investors,
has resulted primarily from competi
tion. Bom Chang Unreasonable
"In view of ttwse existing condi
tions, and ether features surrounding
the business of the respondent, includ
ing the practical end successful rluc
tlon of the value of service to the
consumer by the competitor's lowr
rate, the commission found that tho
charges under investigation altho-i-rh
nor prooucing an excessive or eve.r.
fair return on the investment, were 'n
some resweta unreasonable and not
such as to ultimately produce the
greatest return to the investors in
the property. Under these findings
rates for residence ftghting and com
mercial power were ordered.
"The commission now further fln5
that these conditions apply with eqintl
force to the present commercial rales
and that insofar as the present sched
ule differs from that hereinafter set
forth, such rates ore unreasonable. The
following commercial lighting rates
will reduce to a minimum the effect
of the elements hereinbefore dis
cussed, and under the particular condi
tions surrounding tTie business aro
jMst, reasonable- and not unjustly dis
criminatory, either in themselves or
in oorrlpari30n wit n other rates estab
lished for this utl'lty.
