r THE : OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 13, 1020. Eight-Cent Fare Tuesday k k n n n ' t t h Text of Official Order ' The public service commission, in the order Instituting: an S-cent fare In Port land on June 15, invites the city council and other to take a hand In the rail way problem with the ultimate purpose Of permanent solution. The order point put that the 8-cent fare is not a solu tion, but a temporary measure, to be rescinded if other means can be found to continue rapid transit at less cost to car riders. The order directs no transfer charge and permits purchase . of tickets in blocks of six for 45 cents and 50 for 13.65, The price of ' school tickets re mains tsnchanged. The commission asam urges relief to the car riders through the company from Hems of expense, and insists mat, rsui the commission's suggestions toward that end. contained in a previous order, been heeded, an 8 -cent fare would not have been necessary. The text of the order follows In the matter of the application of the Portland Railway, Light -Power company for Increase in fares on street railway lines in the city of Portland. Application brought by tho Portland Railway. Llgrht A Power company for authority to increase fares on its street railway lines In the city of Portland. On August 15, 1919, application was filed with thla commission by the Port land Hallway, Light A Power company requesting authority Increase fares on Its street railway lines In the city of Portland. Afteaa an exhaustive investi gation covering a period of months, ftarticipated in by the council of Port end and their experts, representatives of civic bodies and individuals, an order was entered continuing the said appli cation of the petitioner- until action should be taken upon certain recom mendations of the commission that there be submitted to the voters of the city of Portland certain remedial measures for the relief of the car rider and the com pany. REMEDIAL MEASURES . FAIL Pursuant to the commission's recom mendations,' the Portland city council submitted to the voters of the city of Portland, at a special election held on May 21. -1920, three measures designed to relieve the applicant and its patrons of certain obligations and charges im Iosed toy franchises and the charter of the city of Portland. At such special election all such remedial measures failed to be adopted. The recommenda tion in the majority opinion of the commission that the city of Portland purchase and maintain the tracks of the applicant laid in the streets Of PosWand did not receive the approval of the city council, and, as 'a conaequeace, was not submitted to th voters. ."" .- Supplemental application was filed by the utility on May 26. 1920, calling the commission's attention to the action taken by the voters of the city of Port WHERE AND HOW TO GO AS ID OREGON The Gateway to the Land of Outdoor Delight The Columbia River Highway is completed.

The commiMlon, however, deeming It aavisaoie io lane additional testimony and bring its record down to date. again set the matter, for hearing at Portland on the first day of June. 1920. at which time and nlaea - all Interested parties were afforded an opportunity to o nearo. ine applicant appeared by K. A Leiter, Its attorney, -and the city of roruana Dy jonn Mann, commissioner, and Stanley Myers, deputy, city attor ney. - - . .; This commission. In Its recent major ity opinion, f. s. c ore. Order Ml, wherein an Increase in street car fares was denied, said. "That this la neither the solution nor the proper remedy to be applied when It can be avoided.'" JfOULD DITIDE BTJBDEIT It was " then, and still is, our belief that an equitable proportion of the nec essary expense of providing an efficient street car service could and should be paid by the general taxpayer, and that this expense should not be borne in its entirety by the car" rider. The proper .maintenance of -an effi cient transportation system, while a con venience to some, is a vital necessity to - the successful conduct of business throughout the city: Therefore, the ma jority opinion suggested for this, and other reasons, that a reduction in the cost of operation should be made by the city itself where practicable. The adoption of our suggestions would have resulted In lessening the value of the railway system by several million dollars, and at the same time permitted, through reductions in operat ing expense and a reduced valuation, a saving to the car rider of some several hundred thousand dollars.' -This Sueirestion was refected li th city . council of i Portland, upon the grounds, as we are advised, that the city was without power, under the con stitution, to make effective the recom mendation. - As a consequence, .the vo ters were not anoraea an ' opportunity to pass upon ue quesuon, ana tne com mission's plan to hold fares at a mini mum remains untried. .. FALLACY POINTED OFT The commission has repeatedly pointed out the fallacy of the city imposing upon the company certain public charges, namely; Bridge rentals, franchise taxes, car licenses, free . transportation of city employes, and paving charges and again in the recent opinion (order 581) sug gested Ithat -the city relieve the com pany, and, through them,, the car rider, of their obligation to meet this expense. After v considerable discussion, which' may or may not have influenced the re sult, our suggestions as to the removal of the so-called unjust 'charges were, in errect,. suomitted to tne voters, at spe ' BBBBnn YHERE TO STAY AT SEASIDE - The Gateway to the Land of Outdoor Delight MOTE SEASIDE, !Idc.

This commission certainly has no de sire to question the action of the council or- of the voters of Portland, but we be lieve that further study of the recom mendations heretofore offered would produce beneficial results, and such sav ing as is accomplished in the cost of operation will promptly reflect a propor tionate reduction In the rate of fare. : . Increased labor and material costs are familiar to ail, and a superficial exami nation oi tne company's boons oy any' one discloses the effect on revenues, while the most minute investigation and analysis serves but to emphasise the need of promptly providing the neces sary funds to permit a continuation of services . ALLIED UTILITIES There remains an impression among some that the light and power depart ment' of this utility is sufficently re munerative to absorb the Joss on street railway operations and yet permit a profit to the company on the property as a. whole. Primarily this is fallacious reasoning both in theory -and in fact. The principle of permitting one branch of a utility's operations to support -another and totally different service, is wrong. The courts would not counte nance a procedure of this nature, and have so held. Kin ally, the facts before us show conclusively and, beyond ques tion, that the , light and power . division of this utility is not financially able to be of assistance to the street railway. This commission In previous opinions expresesed the' thought that some im provement in service, and probably re ductions In expense, might be obtained throusrh slight rearrangement of track and car routing, but due to inability to obtain franchises ana , outer reasons such suggestions have not been. carried out. At this time we wish to reiterate our previous opinion, and emphasise the desirability of the company and the city authorities ; carefully studying such plans, both as regards trackag-e- and traffic as will facilitate the movement of cars and make possible more efficient and economical -operation.! - INCREASE OR RECEIVERSHIP Manifestly (his commission - has - no alternative, under the law and in light of the record . in this ease, ' than to pro vide additional revenues, by such means as Is within our jurisdiction, 'or see the company forced into a receiver ship with its attendant evils and de terioration, if not - actual suspension of service over many of the tinea ; '. ' It Is fundamental that no business can continue to operate unless it receives for the service rendered " or the goods sold an amount equivalent to the cost of rendering such service or furnishing such goods. A manufacturer cannot in definitely sell his product 'for less than its cost of production. Bankruptcy and abandonment are the Inevitable results. This principle is quite as true in the conduct of public service. . The street railway, cannot indefinitely' operate at a loss. - All successful industrial enter prises have, during the last several years of increase in costs, adjusted the selling price of their product to cover the increased cost thereof. The difficulties of the applicant it is apparent, are largely duo to the In creased costs of operation, labor and material," and the reduced purchasing power of the dollar. s. In discussing revenues, tit may be in structive to direct the attention of. those Interested to the fact that it reauires a sum of approximately $255,000 each and .ssaa .'. 1bV V aV rne &r&ai lyorinwest Jrnarics Natural - ' WHERE TO STAY- the Grand Old Ocean BEACH BY THE : SEA for Yonr Vacation HOTEL MEARS ComenU bkck, corner Broadway tvnd Soventh MtTtmt. rlnnms einala w I a. n fatsMl, Urre, clarv miry tocku, modarau mi rBsrrTKUuaa Muuratt , MRS.
