RUE friends of education will
be pleased with the news that
three kindergartens are to be
opened this fall in connection
with the publie schools. The city
owes this forward step to : the
progressive " women of the ' Jewish
Neighborhood Houso ' more. . than
to anybody else. There Is no
question whatever that' the ' kln
dergarten system of education for
young children Is sound und prac
ticable. When Froebel's principles
are correctly applied the - results
are sure and admirable.
The oldtime objection , to- the
kindergarten was that "it unfitted
children to take . their places in
the public school." But obviously
this c objection ' was a two-edged
sword. The fault might possibly
lie with the kindergartens. But

If these charges are true or the remark about women being

of the company for a six-cent fare,

to make a full and fair investiga

JOHN AND REUBEN
A
HE ! Portland Railway, Light
, & Power company has petl
uuonea tne ruDiic service
Commission for permission
to ' increase its "cash fares and
transfer, charges." The purpose,
! contends, is to meet the de
mands for higher wages recently,
made by its employes, and at
J the ; same time permit it to re-
turn - aa earning oi six per cent
upon the value of the property
For ."the sake " of its petition it
adopts the valuation of SI 8,
231,000 established' by the com
mission as the physical value of
the street and lnterurban railway
system of the comrany. . It Is said
that .the petition makes no pro
vision for -dividends . to be paid
upon its common stock.
' It Is a question of large inter
est to 'the people of Portland and
vicinity who ride upon street cars.
It ltr assumed that the increase for
which petition has been made
mer ns a "desire by the company to
charge , a six cent rather than a
five . cent fare within the present
irye. cent fare zone, with propor
tlonate Increase beyond that limit
Such " a. permlaMon wduld mean
that .the patrons of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power lines
would pay approximately $ff40;000
' more annually iato the treasury of
theompany than they, now do.
The-public, therefore. Is an inter
ested party to the petition. It has
a right to expect and demand that
all '; things j , be considered by the
commission fully and fairly, both
for 'apd against the company, he-
tore its decision 13 ma.it .
' . In entering upon the adjudica
tion of . this question, it is the
duty " of the Public Service Com-
mllsion'to take cognizance of cer
tain charges relative to the finan
' elal operations and reorganizations'
leading up to the conditions . now
surrounding the securities of the
.' company, and to afford the public
, Information thereon, with especial
reference to .their bearing upon
the demand for authority : to
charge a six-cent fare.
Thus, it is charged that whon

common , stock of the Portland

, In the exchange an excess j of
' ' par value of the netv stock; over
the amount of cash paid and4 the
total par value of the Portland

amounting to $2,300,000 - was
- Issued. At the same time common
stock of the Portland Railway,
: .. Light ' ft Power company of the
' par value of $1,800,000 was issued
as a bonus for the sale of 'pre
ferred stock and as a compensa
tion, to the syndicate of bankers
. engaged in the ;. reorganization
That syndicate, Incidentally, rep
resented the purchasers of the old
- companies, or, ' tn . other words,: the
owners of the new.
: It Is charged that in 1911 the
$15,000,000 stock capitalisation -of
