Our business in Oregon is financially unsatisfactory. Our rev enues must be increased. Present service cannot be maintained at a desired standard, nor can our system be expanded to meet new re quirements unless new capital is secured. Many people may not understand that in the operations of a public utility its extensions and permanent improvements are not provided for in the rates for service charged, but they are paid for by "new" ' money money invested in the business by those who have surplus funds. ' The large sums necessary must come from the people who buy stocks and bonds and who have confidence in the soundness, main tenance and earning power of the investment behind their securities. For this money the market rate of interest must be paid high at the present time when nations, cities and corporations of unquestioned financial responsibility are seeking capital.' The United States is pav- mg oy0 tor money, sound trust mortgages are ottered at 7. Good industrial stocks at 8 and higher. . The people of the State of Oregon last month by a vote of 5 to 1 defeated a proposition to limit interest in this state to 4 and 5. They realizedihat nothing but business disaster and commercial paraly sis would follow the adoption of such a measure. Who would loan money in Oregon at 4 and 5 when other investments, just as sound, were available at 6, 7, 8 and higher? The property of this company in the state of Oregon today is not earning i 'upon each dollar invested. With such a showing on present investment, haw can we expect additional investment? We have asked the Public Service Commission to consider our situation. The facts and figures will be placed before this official body with their own special facilities for investigation and verification. We are asking simply to be placed in a position where we can give good service, make extensions, rovicfe a proper reserve, pay interest' on our obligations and a reasonable return to the owners of our prop erty. : - ' . ; The Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. rMereWftaa of J Merit On!7 a-. .
