'People, of State Entitled to Relief
from Exactions of Telephone
Monopoly," Says '
fl' Governor '.;":
Alfred E. Clark, Portland at
torney and counsel for Governor
Pierce, yesterday was requested
by the: executive to keep in close
touch with developments in other
states, In connection with a pro
posed investigation of the rates,
rules and practices of the Ameri
can Telephone & Telegraph com
pany and its subsidiary . organiza
tions. '
V'I am very glad to have you
say that you will undertake : a
thorough investigation of the tel
ephone jcpmpany and Its rates pro
vided you are given funds to em
ploy competent experts," read the
governor's letter to Mr. Clark.
"The political influence, In this
state of the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph Ii company and other
public utilities is very powerful.
The people of this state are en
titled to relief from the exactions
of the telephone monopoly and I
Intend to do everything possible
to provide you with means and the
organization with which to carry
on a thorough investigation.
"The relations between the Pa
cific Telephone & Telegraph com
pany, the American Telephone&
Telegraph companyra'nd other as
sociated companies are no doubt
illegal. What you. say : confirms
what has been my view that these
interlocking companies were use
ful devices with which to conceal
actual earnings, jungle financial
operations,:; outlays, valuations,
etc., so as to befog an inquiry into
what is fair return on, the In
vestment, ji j
, ; VI also am much interested An
what you said regarding a move
ment in some of the eastern
slates to secure a congressional in
quiry or an investigation by the
department of Justice or both. It
is true, that frequent attempts
have been made to secure a con
gresional investigation, of the tel
ephone monopoly but apparently
it has always been able to exert
sufficient i influence to prevent
this. i:
"I am taking the ' matter up
with the governors of other states
where telephone problems similar
to ours exist and where the move
ment for a ; nation-wide investiga
tion has taken form."
