WAS STOBai CEJfTEi ?..v . The Port -fit Portland, wai a storm center during tbe 1921 session, and at that tune thoee opposed to the system of legislative elections forced - an amendment to tbe main port bill be . fore the session for enactment which provided that the governor should sub mit a list of nominees to the legisla ture whenever the terms of a port com missioner was about to expire, and that tbe legislature, unless it became dead locked with the executive office, should make its election from this list. - Aftes that bill bad been agreed upon ' in committee. - however, Frederick W. Mulkey. who - led the opposition to -. legislative election of tbe commission , era, insisted upon a measure being submitted to the -voters ef the Port l Portland' district providing for the unqualified appointment of the com missioners by pie governor, mat diu was to become effective only after Its ratification. IV' was ratified at a spe cial election in June 1921. r ' Under this . law. the .terms ef Com missioners T. J. Mahoney, J. D. Ken worthy, Andrew JV Porter and Henry I Corbett will expire on the first Monday of June, 1922. Their succes sors will be appointed by the governor, - The terms ef the remaining five pres. ent commissioners George II. Kelly, Phil Metscban, Frank M. Warren. W. I. Thompson and H. A. Sargent will expire on tbe first Monday of June, 1935. AXL AME BEPUBI.ICA3T8 . All of the member of the commis sion at the present time are RepubU cans, and i is generally expected that . when Pierce comes to select tbe suc cessors tr the first four to leave the ' commission - be will more than prob ably pick a Democrat or two to sit on the commission. . There Is. -also, another interesting angle to the situation. Senator Gus Moser, who had charge of the Port of Portland legislation when It was put " .through tbe legislature, was appointed counsel for the commission.- Politicians are wondering whether Senator Moser's job will long survive the addition of - Your - fierce . appomtea commissioners to the Port t Portland personnel. PUBLIC SERVICE BOABTJ 5 MAT BECOME APPOHrTITB Members of the public serrios com mission, and those who do business with that rate regulatory organization, are wondering wbat will happen to that body when the legislature meets in - ' January. Will it be permitted to run along as it is bow constituted or will the' existing law be changed and the commissioner-snips be maae appointive -bv the governor? II recent months the commission has . been more or less or a storm center. Tbe recall of Commissioners Williams '" and Buchtel, while U may have satis fied some, undoubtedly- did not bring much comfort to many others through out tbe state.- The hotel men. it i will be re membered, commenced the initiation of a measure pro Tiding tor we retire ment of tbe entire existing commission through repeal of tbe act creating the commission, and :. the enactment of a new law placing the selection of the commissioners in the bands of tbe gov ernor, rather than by election by the people.; This act was not submitted to the voters because- of the difficulty and expense of securing sufficient sig natures to place it on the ballot It la expected, however, that when the legislature convenes a measure -will be . introduced during the ieariy aays of the session which would sween the then commission Corey. ,MeCoy and Campbell out of office 'and : at h same time, give the governor power to appoint s new commission. ,f --Such' a plan- would cut Thomas K. Campbell.' who has been erected -tot a place on the commission, off the list. tnougn there are tnose wno argue tnai Pierce would be more or less obligated to. 'appoint bim because of his having been elected at the recent election for a four-year term. An attempt to carry out this plan of change would in all likelihood- stir up a lot Of controversy before the leg islature, 2 would not be at all sur prising to see efforts made to , bring about sweeping changes .in the scope and jurisdiction of the public service commission. Home would like to see the commission's control limited or en tirely removed so far as , franchises granted by municipalities to public utilities ara concerned. It -was this power which enabled the commission to override the franchise of the Port land Railway, Light A Power company and increase the Portland . streetcar fares ultimately from 6 to 8 cents. Washington-Bound Settlers Rerouted To Oregon Location CorvalHs.' Nor. 30. Housed in two big eanvas-top wagons of the pioneer variety and with a trailer in the shape of a buggy. Mr. and Mrs. H U.
