K. Zimmerman of Astoria and Loyal Graham of Forest Grove Tuesday filed with the sec retary of state-here their declara tions of candidacy for the office of circuit judge. Zimmerman seeks to succeed himself as judge on the 20th ju dicial district, comprising Clatsop and Columbia counties. Graham would serve as circuit judge of the 19th judicial district, Tillamook and Washington coun ties. This office Is now held by A plan whereby I1S.S70.000 of six per cent debentures due March 1, 19 50, -of the Portland Electric Power company would be ex changed as of March 1, 1934, for an equal amount of collateral trust income bonds of the same concern, due March 1, 1950, was approved here yesterday by the state corporation department. In sofar as the legality of the tran saction under the Oregon blue sky laws Is concerned. The proposed change Is of interest locally both to the debenture holders. in this territory and to holders of pre ferred stock in the Portland Elec tric Power company. The latter Is the holding company for the com mon stock of the Portland Gener al Electric company and of the Portland Traction company. According to the letter of Franklin T. Griffith, president of the Portland General Electric company, the plan of debenture exchange Is necessary to relieve the company of heavy fixed charges until Its net revenues In crease. The annual Interest on the present debentures, exclusive of preferred stock dividends, to tals $960,000 while the Portland General Electric company has agreed not to pay more than $600,000 In dividends in 1934. Since the Traction company Is not paying dividends, reduction In In terest on the debentures Is imme diately necessary. The plan proposed for the de benture holders Is this: Instead of six per cent interest for 1934, the Issuing company agrees to pay three per cent. After this year six per cent in terest on the par value of the debentures will be paid or ac crued as a liability of the Port land Electric Power company. If at any time a total of 30 per cent of the principal amount of the newly issued debentures Is outstanding and unpaid, 25 per cent of the debenture holders can declare the principal and Inter est of the debentures due and pay able. The collateral trust agreement under which the debentures are issued will also provide that 50 per cent of the net revenue of the Portland Electric Power company, after paying interest on the de bentures, shall be set aside as a sinking fund to purchase the de bentures for retirement. The security behind the new is sue of debentures will be the com mon stock of the Portland Gen eral Electric company and the common stocx oi tne roruana of the debentures and if in 'the future th collateral trust Income bonds should default, this stock could bo taken by the trustee tor the . security of the debenture pwners. Mr. Griffith, in his letter ex plaining the plan, holds that the exchange asked of the debenture holders Is necessary to help the Portland General Electric com pany meet its 1935 maturities which total $14,115,000. He says heavy taxes have contributed to the lessened income of that com pany as well as steady decreases in gross revenue. Gross earnings of the Portland Electric power company have declined from $13.- 122.000 In 1939 to $10,091,000 m 1933 and net earnings from $4, 591.556 to 13.595.755. the latter figures before Interest on funded debt which in 1933 called for pay ments of $3,5(9.107. The effect of the debentnre ex change, if approved by 65 per cent of the debentnre holders, will be to hypothecate with a trustee all of the common stocks of the two operating companies which are considered the major assets of 'the Portland Electric Power company. The latter's preferred stocks have a par value of $19,- 099,000. Dividends on these can not be paid until six per cent an nually Is paid on the collateral trust Income bonds of $15,970',- 000. and in addition until 50 per cent of the remaining moneys has been set aside as a sinking fund for these income bond holders. nnrra Tt T?arlpv who has been mentioned as a candidate for lus- Traction company.
