in this manner:,

MOVIE' PLAY
-Portland's CO motion' picture viewers
Were severely censured today at . the
monthly meeting of the Portland Minis
terial association in Uin Y. M. C A. for
aUowlna the picture, ."Queen of Sbeba,
to be shown at the Blue Moose, theatre.
"If those pictures-are decent then , I
don't know what decency is," said the
Rev. F. A." Scarvie, pastor of the First
Norwegian-Danish Methodist Episcopal
church. Eighteenth and Hoyt streets. --
The minister objected to the pictures
shown on the boards in front of the
show house. He asked if the ministerial
association did not have a committee to
see that.soch pictures sa this one -were
not shown in the city.
The Rev. Ralph C, McAfee, executive
secretary: of the. Portland Council of
.Churches . and a member of the motion
picture censor board, answered the Rev.
Mr. Scarvie's questions.
NO C0MPLA1HT MADE
McAfee, said he had not seen the pic
ture; and that nothing objectionable in
its, nature; bad been reported to him. Hel
asxed inn scarvie to- place bis objections
in writing and file them with the board,
stating that immediate action would be
taken after the objection is filed.
At the close of the' meeting Rev. Mr.
Scarvie made, formal protest -to McAfee
and the two went to the theatre together
to view the pictures in question, k
The picture is said to be a reproduc
tion of a Bible story.
A communication was read from Dr.
W. T, Milliken, pastor of the First Bap
tist church of Salem, requesting the
Portland association to cooperate , with
other ministerial associations 1 n' . the
state in securMig a full-time chaplain
for all jfatO' institutions at the state
capital. Dr. Milliken said the Protes
tant chaplain has such a busy schedule
at present that he spends but six hours
a week at both the penitentiary and the
noys-. scnooi. r
: Another communication from the Fed
eral Council of Churches of Christ in
America stated that Secretary of State
Charles EL Hughes was grateful for the
peace resolutions passed by 102 Portland
churches cm. November 6. looking toward
disarmament;
HOLM AW EXPLAINS
The letter quoted Hughes as stating
that the backing of. religious bodies
throughout : the nation had aided him
materially in taking his present posi

The clergy was Informed ' that Com
mander Evangeline Booth of the Salva
tion Army would be in Portland during
February, 1922.; Arrangements will be
made for the clergy to bear her speak.
"County Commissioner; Rufus Holman

newspaper with distorting facta and fig

PUBUC AUTOS
IS SUGGESTED
Compensation for Use of H'rgh
ways Also Urged; .Committee
Appointed by Olcott to Pre
pare Recommendations Meets.
Practically a unanimous opinion was
expressed that motor vehicles engaged
in commercial business should be placed
under public service regulation, at to
day's hearing by the special committee
appointed by Governor Olcott to 'prepare
recommendations for the legislature for
a law regulating highway traffic It was
also the general expression of passenger
bus and freight struck operators that
the state should be compensated by an
adequate revenue for the maintenance
of the highways for the use of the high
ways by vehicles operated for hire and
that the public should be protected by
sufficient Indemnity bonds for damage
to life and property.
FRANCHISE BIGHTS RAISED
It developed, though, that in framing
a law a vital point will be the question
of what may be considered as quasi ex
clusive franchises. The operators of
commercial vehicles insist that they
should be protected from unreasonable
competition.
. In opening the discussion, F. M. War
ren of the committee suggested that in
view of the fact that the highways are
common property it would be only just
to public interest that the free and
open use of them be guaranteed by the
establishment of a minimum require
ment of responsibility of operation by
commercial lines in order to avoid what
might deyelop into private monopoly or
would give franchises a. property value
commercialising them. - -
PERMITTED BT B05DS
Anyone who could meet .the minimum
requirement of service and bonds, could
be permitted to operate, he suggested.
John F. Logan, representing: the com
mercial bos lines, took Issue with this
suggestion, saying; that there was in
volved a - moral - standard. Operators,
he held, should, be protected front de
structive Competition which could re
sult even though a minimum rate were
established. The public service commission.-
or "whatsver body the regulation
should be lodged with, ought to have J
tne auinonty to discriminate between
public necessity and public convenience
and regulate . the number of operating
companies. He admitted that this would
have the effect of giving a property
right to franchise, but that this would
be Justified by public benefit . ,
FOISTS TO WASHINGTON LAW S .
Fred Parkinson, who operates busses
from Portland to Camas and - ether
Washington points, said that the Wash
ington state law which permits exclu
sive franchises Is working very w&L s
E. E. Fa villa, speaking in behalf of
the farmer, wanted to know how the law
could be applied to the individual
farmer who operates trucks irv his own
business. It was suggested by Com
mitteeman Warren that ; it would' only
be fair to exempt the farmer who Is
handling his own products from public
service regulation, as the primary pur
pose of the highway is the transport
of rarm products. -
Another point raised by Ralph StaehU
was the application of the law to small
farmers who form an association' and
operate a common truck. Another dif
ficulty in the way of drawing a line be
tween private operation and common
carrier discussed was the case of (ruck
owners who privately contract' to carry
produce and freight for a brief season.
