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rescinded if other means can be found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

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

cial election - held , May 21, 1920, and
failed of passage.
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

service is to be maintained. In the
schedule herein prescribed we have en
deavored to arrange a jgroup of rates

and eliminate, so far as possible, the
use of the undesirable caah fare and
cumbersome transfer charge, thereby
eliminating traffic congestion occa
sioned by the collection of same ; result
