ADVANCE MADE IN FEBRUARY UPHELD (OMiUnaM rom fwt OeaV order mat with a general protest from all sections of the stats affected by ths tn crease sad a petition for a rehearing of the order was filed with the com mission by attorney representing the city of Portland .and numerous other Oregon cities, as well' as farmer,, lines. The order granting the rehearing was handed down on Ma.f tl. Wl, and the rehearing was opened tn Salem oa July is. lyiL, sessions neina neia alternately in Salem and Portland for a period of six weeks, a total of 110 witnesses being examined, U exhibits being introduced a record of some . 6000 pages or testimony made. j' CALLS ITJITBA3TGV STCTACLE "The rehearing- was asked ostensibly for the purpose of pointing out the errors la the conclusions reached by tne com mission tn Order 8t, bat the attacks of ths petitioners were directed, not against that order, but Against the evidence by whiea the company supported Its claims at the healing which led to that order," ths commission declares. "We thus have ths strange spectacle of a rehearing de voted . chiefly to arguments against claims made by the company and already rejected by the commission. The maneuver could have had no other object than to divert the attention of the public from ths fact that the commission 1 (ranted much less than the company asked. KJBAU COMPACT YXPKXT The ooeomiasion listened with Interest to fl I ana tio as on technical matters by a telephone engineer of undoubted eclen- tifio attainments who dwelt on the ad vantages of equipment ether than that used by the ootnpaay. i The responsibil ity, however, of prescribing the equip ment to be used by ths utilities of ths state does hot rest, on thin commission. -The testimony Of this witness i therefore almost wholly Irrelevant and beside the Issue. ; Petitioners presented through a pub- Ue accountant, whose standing Is known to carry weight with the commission. certain calculations purporting to be In come statements of thai Paclrvo company. On Being q east toned no to the basis of these statements, the witness replied that ha had prepared thetn on certain hypotheses dictated to him by counsel and that he disclaimed any responsibil ity for their correctness. Tat ws find counsel. In their brief, presenting these statements aa the testimony and conclu sions of ths witness, j "CHaUEASOJf ABLE TESTEKOXY" "A score of witnesses were put for ward to say that they: opposed any In crease n rates. This was not necessary. Every man of reason knows that no one wants to pay mora for service. Too wit nesses are not more averse to paying higher rate than this commission Is to ordering them paid. "Much was said by counsel about poor Service, hot pertittoners own witnesses showed by test that calls were answered wtth a promptness possible only under efficient management : "Hours of argument and pages of brief were devoted to assertions of gross Inef ficiency of management, but petitioners' only witness on this point testified that bo had visited four oxohangea in a sin gle afternoon, and based his opinion on the fact that he found In us certain de vices which he. thought not the best for the purpose. Furthermore It was admit ted by counsel that the stockholders of the company would be the first to profit by economy. i The 4 percent license revenue nald u ue American company was constant ly referred to as exacted from the ma trons' ot the oompany and paid to the parent company for no consideration whatever, notwithstanding that It welt ' known , to- counsel for - netitloners that leu than one-half of this percentage was allowed Jry 'the ' commission and that this allowance waa baaed oa the actual cost ef service rendered by the American company. Washington, Idaho, Arlxona, Colorado, Utah, Wisconsin, iffchlgan, Missouri, Arkansas. Louisi ana, Alabama, Georgia,; South Carolina, Virginia,- Wast Virginia, Ohio. Illinois. Pennsylvania, Maryland, District of .Columbia, New Jersey and the Dominion of Canada have allowed the t4 per cent or an . equivalent. Oregon. California, Indiana,. Kansas, Oklahoma and Ver mont allow it In part None reject it STATES ACCEPT CONTRACT "Tne Western Electric contract has been accepted by every: state which has passed on It In their brief, petitioners abandon the claim that Western Elec tric prions are higher than those of other supply houses, but m&lhtain that they ought to be much; lower, and that all relief should be denied the company until the operations of . the Western Electric, which- cover, the entire , nation. have been Investigated In every detail and its rate of net earnings ascertained in order to determine how much lower It might be compelled t sell. It la of no. consequence to the'ODunsel that such an investigation would 'east a half mil lion dollars and -would require two years or mors time. -: ' Testimony concerning farmer lines consisted of complaints that the rates bad been raised. It Is Interesting to know that the Everett Telephone oom pany, so highly lauded by counsel for petitioners, charges farmers 53 per cent more than the highest rate for such Service m Oregon. . .. ATTACK ALIO WAKCE The commission's allowance for de preciation was attacked as unscientific en the ground that' no such calculation could be reliable unless based on the historical records of the property la- voteed. Order 09 shows that this prin ciple was recognized and adopted by this commission two years before it was discovered' in the Chicago ease quoted by counsel. Petitioners principal expert admitted that SM per cent for depreciation was a reasonable average rate for telephone properties in the United States, and that per cent was carried by the companies with which he was connected. This commission baa allowed aa average of only K per cent COJTTKXTI09 HOT SCPPOBTED "Seven authorities are cited and quoted In the brief ot the city of Portland in support ot the claim that a depreciation reserve cannot rightly exceed" a certain percentage. Not one of theae authori ties supports that contention. The depreciation reserve has been constantly represented aa a burden on the ratepayers. On the contrary, it consists of funds withheld from the stockholders tor the protection of ths property. It hag been contributed by the ratepayer. and Is and always will be the property of the ratepayer. The company is obliged to account for It as such.' The claim that the reserve la too large Is eoulvalent to a complaint that the com pany has withheld from its stockholders too lane a proportion of its past earn ings in order to put them into a fund tor the benefit of tts patrons. "At the same time that the reserve Is said to be too large, it is asserted that the plant is obsolete. If obsolete, 'the reserve must fee used to replace It and can not be too large. AS TO WAGE BEDCCTIOH "Petitioners allege that telephone em ployes were receiving higher wages than ever before. They introduced exhibits purporting to show that wages could be reduced without injustice. They present ed calculations to the effect Upon net earnings by a reduction In wages ; yet. they claim that they have not advocated such a reduction. "Petitioners have presented . nothing worthy of serious consideration or jus tifying the suspicion and agitation which they have aroused. Their failure to support their oontentioes was so ob vious, even ,to themselves, that they peatedly fell back on the excuse that the commission ought to Investigate the subject and, by inference, ought to sup ply the evidence which they had prom ised to produce. -SUBLIME, BIDICTTXOTJ8" V The descent from the sublime to the ridiculous is not often better illiiatrated than by the transition from the grandil oquent announcements at the opening of the case to the feeble exenae that the commission "ought to look Into it" Verily, "parturiunt montes, nascetur ridlculus mus." Expense and waste of time are not the only losses suffered through this needless agitation. The Im mense resources of the state need money tor their development For the neces sary capital, we must compete with a world in need. The reputation of a com m unity for fair dealing is a factor taken into account by all prudent investors. MIGHT SCARE CAPITAL "If a great and indispensable state wide public utility is denied even the' earnings possible on a savings bank de posit it to be expected that new capital will seek this field? If bitter and prejudiced agitation 18 followed by the denial of bare Justice, we shall In evitably be driven to state municipal ownership ot all public utilities. There must be a definite acceptance of the principle that the true welfare of the public is best served by the main tenance of such rates as will enable ths utility; to pay reasonable wages to Its employes and to expand as required by ur growing - commnnitl. Temporary measures will no longer avail - The doty of this commission Is plain. Nothing ad duced at the rehearing would Justify the commission in doing other than sustain the original order." TOMLUrSOW 18 ; SUKrBISEDl ,TBGE8 BALLOT- BOX ACTIOS The decision comes as a complete sur prise to me," declared Deputy City At torney ToeuinBen. who handled the tele phone rate hearing for the city- The only recourse the people ' now have is the ballot box and the big stick. The people are entitled to lower rates." Totulineon added that" appeal to the eourta would be made only on the show ing that the bearing was conducted ir regularly, or that, the decision was not tn accoraance with tne oramary ruiee oi procedure in the public service commis sion. No appeal may be made, he said. u the merits of -the case. IS. SANGER IT . OFF FOR ORIENT Takes GroImdHogs, Advice; Wears First Straw Hat of Year : . . i . Oregon City.

Undaunted by her failure to secure a viae to her passport from the Japanese consul here and confident of her ability to overcome the edict of the Japanese government that she win not be per mitted to speak; on birth control in Japan, Margaret Sanger, militant birth control advocate, sailed , this afternoon tor the Orient on the Talyo Mara. The entire thing is a misunderstand ing which I am certain will be properly overcome when X reach Yokohama," she Bid. The plans for Mrs. Sanger's three month Oriental tour call for lectures at five of Japan's leading universities, sev eral In China and addressee In Manila. The younger members of the Japa nese parliament believe birth Control is a question Japan can, discuss for their good, but the older members are opposed to it, said tne lecturer.

There are grata growers on the south side of ths Snake river In the con desig nated by the interstate commerce com mission who do not get the advantage of the tower rate because they are com pelled to ferry their wheat across the Snake river to the north shore tn order to reach a railroad. nrcxrsiojr is asked "we believe .that the north shore of the Snake river should be Included tn the sone.

Universal Service has obtained advance Information as to the details of the dress aa it will be seen in final form. The official account of the gown is as fol lows: "AS befits a daughter ot the king the gown is an all-British creation. For many weeks .clever girl workers employed by Reville have been patiently sewing Into place thousands ot seed and baroque pearls and the minute diamonds of silver bullion and Sparkling crystals that have helped to transform prosaic materials, like silver cloth tnarquisetta and duchess satin brocade, into a glittering, shimmer lrg wedding gown of a kind associated wtth a princess in A fairy story.

PEABLT WHITE2TES3 "In selecting the materials particular emphasis has been laid on ths pearly whiteness of the silk to be employed and tne result Is a duchess satin brocade, the exiuisite lustrous surface of which la Miot with the finest silver thread, subtly Interwoven with silken warp. 'As a general rule, fabrics the patterns on which are symbolical, are apt to be somewhat formal if not frankly stiff. But this characteristic Is happily absent in the brocade made for Princess Mary's train. "Rose, shamrock and thistle are there. Bo too is the lotus ot India, the Wattle of Australia, the maple leaf of Canada, the tree fern of New Zealand and other emblems representing outlying portions of the British empire. BECOMES HXB TYPE "Ko aown could be more becoming to the rose petal complexion and golden hair Of the king's only daughter, than the white and silver loveliness of the dress elected, the exquisite embroideries of which gleam and shimmer through the fine meshes of the bridal veil of tulle and Ale neon, so happily la keeping with the delicate character of the general scheme. ' "As to the component parts of the whole toilette, there Is first a straight robe ot petticoat, ot cloth of silver that reaches the ankles and is cut wtth sqtiare decolletaga . v This serves as a foundation on which to Impose the overdress of marquesette.
