I ilrs, wu the new thing In the
p United States constitution which
made its adoption the most me
meatoos occurrence of history,
Justice John I. Rand of the Ore
gon supreme court said in his ad
dress which was a part of the Con-
: Btitutlon day obserranee at the
Klwanis club luncheon Tuesday
Americans are likely to forget
that their liberties hare not always
existed. Justice Rand said. Less
than 300 years ago, Herbert Hoo
ver would hare been shorn of his
- ears in certain American colon
ies if he had advocated the doc
trines of the Friends faith; and
Al Smith, if he bad lived in Eng
land at the same time, would have
- been hanged for his religious be
liefs without a trial.
Equal liberties
The assurance of equal liber
. ties in the constitution is respon-
j sible for this nation's advance to
the position of the richest and
happiest nation of the world. Jus
tice Rand concluded.
Justice O. P. Coshow approach
ed the- subject of the constitution
from the historical angle In his
talk. The convention which framed
the constitution was not called for
that purpose, but to bring about
an agreement between the 13 in
dependent nations on the Atlantic
seaboard, whereby the Jealousies
and differences which had arisen
might be prevented from precipi
tating war. Virginia took the in
itiative, and George Washington
was a central figure although he
made few remarks other than
those necessary as chairman.
Divine Guidance Asked
With all of America's great
statesmen of that day present, the
constitution was framed only after
three months of bitter conflict
within the secrecy of the conven
tion room; and it was Benjamin
Franklin, often classed as an athe
ist, who frequently asked that di
vine guidance be invoked in order
to prevent disruption of the gath
ering. There the battle between the
advocates of states' rights and
centralisation of government was
fought out. Judge Coshow stated;
the smaller colonies proving most
stubborn in clinging to their sov
ereignty, so that Rhode Island did
not ratify the constitution until
several years after It went Into effect.

thirty per cent In industrial now
er rates were contained in a sched.
ale submitted to the chamber. of
commerce today by Portland Elea.
trie companies. If approved-by the
pnnuc service commission " of
Oregon, the new tariff will give
Portland, rates in all cases as low
and In most "cases., lower, than
rates in. San Tranciso, Los An
geles and Seattle, according - to
analysis by the industries depart
ment of the chamber. -
A saving ol approximately $63.-
000 a year would be effected for
the. seventeen Portland users who
would come within the terms of
the new1 tariff. L. T. Merwin, vice
president and general manager of
the Northwestern Electric com
pany. said.
. The proposed tariff was Sub
mitted voluntarily by the power
companies and resulted from a
series of conferences between off!
cials of the nullities and the in
dustries committee of the cham
ber.
The schedule will not effect
pending investigations by the city
and public service commission in
to electric rates here.
Industrial loads of 375 kilowats
or more are, affected by the pro
posed tariff. A further concession
by the utilities allows the Port
land mser current for lighting at
power rates up to 25 per cent of
the power demawd. This, it was
said, would cover lighting needs
of all present users in the city.
The schedule would reduce the
present top rate from five cents a
kilowatt hour for the first 10,000
kilowatt hours, to three and one
half cents for the first thousand
Kilowatt hours. The present bot
tom rate of eight mills would be
reduced to two and one-half mills
a kilowatt hour, existing dis
counts for prompt payment would
be discontinued.
