J... .J'hlHijis o5yI'ortlanU. division commercial superintendent of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company, censures the company se verely for not taking the -public Into Its confidence, relative to Its. ability to supply service within a reasonable length J.f time after application Is made. The company Is roundly 'flayed for .accepting applications and receiving deposits, which, according to numerous complaints reaching the commission, are Ji&d for months before the applicant are advised ' that serviee cannot be supplied with in a reasonable length of time, .. Another Practice lilt. Another practice of the company which Chairman Miller declares Is unreasonable Is that of telling pros pective patrons that many other ap plicants are head of them and that service must be given In order of priority. The commission admits tba t de mands for facilities and enaipment - are urgent In Portland and that gov ernment requirements at canton ments have brought heavy demands. and that the company doubtless has diffi'ulty !n meeting requirements, but the letter asserts that a knowl edge of this condition does not meet the complaint made by the commis sion.

This practice on your part Is not considered reason able, by the commission and if you find yourself unable to supply the service asked for within a period of thirty dayH from the date of applica tion, you should refuse to accept the deposit and should so advise the prospective customer, Wait Ktitirely Too rng. "Your statement, to proposed pa trons that there, are many other ap plicants for service ahead of them and that such service must be ren dered in the order of the priority of applications, particularly when the customer has waited three or four months, Is altogether, In our Judg ment, unreasonable. We are at a loss to 'understand why you do not take the public fully'and completely Into your confidence and explain to them exactly the situation In which you find yourself and . the reasons for your inability to render them service. We think that the public have a right to this explanation from you and we think ought to be told plainly that you cannot possibly fur- "Jf you ate unable to secure ma terial and men and money to make the extensions asked for, we think that your patrons should be so ad vised and not be left In suspense with the hope that after their appli cation has been made for service and deposit made, that the same will be furnished when you yourselves know that the same cannot be furni.sheu within a reasonable length of time."

Churchill at Food Convention "The handwriting on the wall" was interpreted vestrday afternoon by Arthur M. Churchill, of Portland, chairman of the conservation cam inipn in this state, at the afternoon tcssion of the county food confer ence, held at the Commercial club auditorium. He warned the peo'ile Of Salem and of Oregon that unless the food 6up;v of the nation L con- f-erved and luxuries and extrava gances are given up. calamity is apt to befall, and millions of people In the European countries that ar- fighting for their existence and for peace and democracy of the world, will starve or will have to bow to the will of the Hun and labor under his appressive yoke for all time. The conference was a success both from the standpoint of. attendance and interest. Many Salem people rame out and men nnd women from nearly every pirt of the county came to listen to the addresses by Mr: Churchill and the talks by Dean Mil am of the Oregon Agricultural col lege. President Xeels ''Racking. "Do you .know what is the great est need of the country today? Tt ia that every human being within our boundaries shall know to a full conviction why we are In this war, hall nnqiialifiedly back of the pres ident, assure him that we are In this vror to the last man and to the la?t dollar, shall realize that the hoir Is here now when every resonrce of nation and citizen must be devoted without stint for the paving of the v f democracy throughout the world." said Mr Churchill at the onenlng" of his address at yesterday afternoon's meeting. Why Russia lias Failed. "Do yon know perhaps the great est reson why Russian faith was lost, why the morale of her armies jnd neople was destroyed? I ouote Charles rEdwrd 3Rnsell. Socialist member of the Hoot Commission: It was because tb peasants and "oldfers were; convinced by clever Cerman propaganda that the Ameri can people were not behind the war; that we considered It a rich man' : that IaFollette'B speech an1, other similar expressions were trans lated Into Russian and peddled unrnne the Russians lv Herman spfe 1mnt feofore they are out of - bh lips.'

Is not absolutely necessary, perhaps the picture show, every unnecessary luxury mnst be eliminated, and the tabor that:, would otherwise be nec essary to produce automobiles for pleasure must produce airplanes and war trucks. The. clothing houses and woolen mills must make uni forms and soldiers' sweaters. Mr. Vanderlip, of the National City bank of New York, who has given np the presidency of the greatest bank in the country to devote his services to this campaign, has phrased it in a sentence: 'The shabby overcoat is to be fashionable this winter.' "The food administration program Is a simple one. Get It thoroughly In mind: "Stop every scrap of waste. In sist that the restan rants and hotels a well as homes serve smaller por tions, and that every plate be clean ed. "Substitutes. We need to save especially four things; sugar, fat, meats and wheat. RanquetA to lie Eliminated. "May I mention two other thing? Will you use your influence to cot cnt elaborate banquets and unnec essary meals? Resides the food they waste, people criticize, and Tlghtlv. If the poor are asked to save, thev may well complain If others at the rame moment advertise unnecessary spreads. "And I think farmers, while more frugal than city people 1n most things, are quite likely to be verv prodigal in their use of white flour, meats (especially pork), butter and sugar. Producing much pf it on th farm and accustomed for years to living on concentrated foods through lack of transportation and nearby markets, they find it hard to change their habits. To substitute will re quire more sacrifices on their part, more forethought, more hard work. Rut I am sure that If you can get th great necessity home to them, they will find a way to do it. "In conclusion, democracy Is In the balance. Thfs great conflict will decide whether democracies can dis cipline themselves and defend them telves; whether the world is to. be fiee or slave. Are we to work ont our lives in freedom, as we believe God intended we should, or are wo to be serfs and vassals of tax-grinding military autocracy, cogs In the machine of a kaiser?
