Redaction on
Public Utility Commissioner Wallace has ordered, and
the companies concerned have
' trie service charges for the Portland-Salem area. One-half
cent a kilowatt hoar is chipped off the base rate on residen
tial and commercial consumers. In addition the primary de
mand base is erased, so cost is now determined by actual
7 consumption without being affected by a loading measured
by potential demand.
The way the rate cut came
vealing as to the future costs if Bonneville power is distrib
uted. Commissioner Wallace seek to make regulation effec-
tive. The valuation of the properties is pretty well established
now. and when he observes a company getting in excess of a
"fair return" he makes request for a rate cut. To date these
"requests" have been complied with.
When therefore the earnings of Northwestern Electric
. r fTT tt : "'i-J
company reacnea o per cent commissioner wauace insisted
' ron rate cut Since the Portland Electric company is com-
; petitive with Isorth western Electric in Portland, it had to
- meet that rate in . the competitive area. President Griffith
'however has for a twenty
; stamp" ; method over the whole
ci-Uand company, so the rate cut
the city of Portland but in Salem
in the rural area.
This instance illustrates the
tion between a concentrated distribution zone and a diffuse
one. Northwestern Elecrric has very choice business in Port
land, most of it right down town, department stores and in
dustries. It does not attempt to over the whole city, and
doesn't get out into the thin areas around the city. PGE
which takes on this business at the same rates, does so at
cost to itself with result that its earning rate is a third less
than North western's. PGE serves 1800, square miles of terri
tory," which 'thus enjoys to the farthest point rates which
; are now among the very lowest in the country.
Oregon' has in fact been a pioneer in the blanket rate
plan, there being only 'one small district in areas served by
the larger companies where there is any distinction between
rural and urban rates. The extra costs in rural service are
there, as the comparison of Northwestern and PGE shows;
and the rural consumer is subsidized at the cost of the urban
consumer. - J-
The new rate schedule brings rates in Portland and sur
rounding territory on the same level as Seattle; in some
brackets a little under, in others a little over Seattle. In these
.comparisons however folk fail to take into account that the
PGE is serving a wide rural area while the municipal plants
at Seattle and Tacoma are Serving a concentrated urban pop
ulation almost exclusively'. Thefr rates would have to be con
siderably higher if they served a large surrounding rural dis
trict and paid taxes equivalent to those paid by privately
-owned companies.
"This difference in cost of
with in the handling of Bonneville power. There is a call
for more extensions into rural areas. Since the settled dis
tricts in" the. Portland-Salem area are already served the ones I
iciw we iwuuu .irmjjes in loouuu vaueys wnere tne ioaa
would be light At the same time an expectation, of reduced
rates from Bonneville has been built up. It ought to be plain
that we cannot have generous extensions into sparsely set
tled rural areas with consequent increase in unit costs and
at the same time general rate reductions of size, unless def
icits are to be incurred.
These facts exist regardless of who distributes power,
private companies, cooperatives or the public. They should
be-taken into account rather than the glib promise of vote
- seeking- politicians.
President's Council
. Poor Mr. Landon gets the panning we expected 'because
he dared to speak out "in meeting as he called it, on political
questions. He gets scolded because he didn't outline a new
plan for rescuing the nation. Mr. Landon thinks the first
need is to rescue the country from Mr. Roosevelt, so he talked
about that.
v The concluding point in Landon's address was worthy of
reflection.. He said the president needs less . power so he
would be required to consult more often with "other men of
both parties men whose hearts also are in the right place,
but men who have had more experience and who know more
about the practical applications of government than he does."
It is a fair criticism: for the president is less inclined than
when he .began his term to talk things over with responsible
and recognized leaders, more irritable when others express
opinions that run counter to bis own.
This is a characteristic of the messianic complex: the
idea that William Pitt once expressed: "I know that I can
save England, and that no one else can." Convinced as he is
of the rectitude of his intentions and of the correctness of
his methods the president spurns counsel, except that of the
yes-yes variety. r-vs'':- n-:-'yZ:;: -; -: --
Some generals carry on as "chairman of the board of
directors," developing strategy
their own studies and decisions, issue orders for subordinates
to obey. FDR is the latter type which isn't relished much in
civil administration. The test is the final success or failure of
the effort In the court-paddne bill the president failed.
chiefly for the reasons suggested by the former governor of
Kansas.
City Light Facts
In its eulogy of Mr. J. L. Ross for his management of
Seattle City Light the Portland Journal stated he had built
ut a $70,000,000 plant and now there are only S3.000.000
in bonds outstanding. Where
Accoraing to tne last iinancial statement of Seattle Cityiwith a 10 year sentence; escaped
ught a copy of which appeared in Moody's bulletin on public
utilities of current date, the total fixed assets of City Light
less depreciation are $44,308,791, its current assets $10,
579,769. Against this are bonds outstanding of $38,446,000
and current liabilities of $2,900,239. "
The gross income of City Light for the twelve months
was $5,564,000 and net after operating costs and deprecia
tion $391,122. City Light paid taxes to the city and state of
$309,800. If its tax bill had been on the same ratio as the
Portland utilities it would have shown an operating deficit.
This is offered not to disparage the Journal's praise for
Mr. Ross, but to give the public the correct figures.
In North China the Japanese armies are making little progress
now. In modern warfare the advantage Is with the defense. The
longer the invaders lines are extended the greater the difficulties of
supply and risks ef having lines cut. The Chinese 8th army, Into which
th former red armies merged is now fighting back In North China.
Chinese resistance ha surprised not only the Japanese and other
foreigners, tut the Chinese leaders themselves. It is conceivable
they may develop military leader who can out-maneuver the inradera.
L Why Is It that every man with hls nose out of Joint thinks" he
is aaaointed to save "the people"? Tet some folk will listen to mental
pegless who can't runt a poultry farm successfully and accept aa
rgnpel their notions about how aU the government and business of
lg&,030,000 people should be run. r
An evening contemporary quotes Secretary Earl Snell as hailing
the republican party aa "still a virulent factor in Oregon politics."

Bits for
Breakfast
By R. J. HENDRICKS
Webley Hauxhurst ' 10-21-ST
and wife did not cross
"the plains to Oregon behind '
a team of oxen," as reported:
, (Concluding from yesterday:)
Mrs. Dobbs say Hauxhurst en
listed in the Oregon Rangers In
1844, after the Cockstock - fight
sf Oregon City. In which that bad
Indian was . killed, and Geo. La
Breton, Oregon's first secretary
of state, "received a wonnd that
caused his death. '
Rev. George Gary, who took
Jason Lee's place In the Meth
odist mission, visited - the Hanx
hursts. and pronounced him "a
more pleasant and agreeable man
than the ordinary class of men."
.
Mrs. Dobbs says Hauxhurst
married Miss Mary of the Yam
hill tribe on Feb. 25, 1837. at the
Lee mission house, according to
the mission records, but that the
family Bible gave the date as
March 16. 1837. (Something more
about Mary later along.)
The Dobbs book says the Haux
hursts took land on Mill creek.
It was their donation land claim,
running south and west from the
southwest corner of what is now
known as the Penitentiary Four
Corners: 640 acres. It contains
numerous dwellings now; will ere
long all be in Salem's city limits.
The Dobbs book says Haux
hurst did a thriving- business
making pack saddles, in the time
of the California gold rush; that
be then went "around the horn"
to visit his family in New York;
that his mother sent presents to
his children; among them the re
putedly first wax doll to reach, the
west coast; that went to the
daughter who became Mrs. Day,
just deceased.
Also that, on his return to Ore
gon. Hauxhurst sold his donation
land claim and moved to Salem.
That he did freighting between
Portland and Salem, and, in 1862,
brought the first circus to the
capital city, Thfeijlie farmed In
the "red hills," meaning in the
Liberty district south of Salem,
until 18 66, when he went to
Bayocean.
a "a
That means the strip of land
between Tillamook bay and the
Pacific ocean; being' drawn to
that beautiful location on account
of its resemblance to Long Island,
N. Y., on which he was born.
That he was captain of the
steamer Champion running be
tween Tillamook bay and Port
land, and died January 23, 1874,
and was buried in an unmarked
grave near Tillamook.
"a "a "a
This column has contained a
great deal of matter concerning
the Hauxhurst family. At least
seven sons and three daughters
grew to maturity. While webley
Hauxhurst was working at the
mission, he "took into his cabin'
Mary, the Indian girl, and later
married her; probably after his
conversion by Jason Lee,
Mrs. Dobbs said Mary was of
the Yamhill tribe. Rev. Gustavus
Hines, in his book, published in
1857, said she was "an Indian
meaning Calapooia.
a "a
The Bits man thinks Mary L.
Hauxhurst-Day was born on the
donation claim In a house hot far
from the present "penitentiary
four corners," and not in Salem,
She herself told Fred Lockley in
1935 that she Vas born "near
Salem."
When the Hauxhurst moved to
Salem they occupied the house
they had bought at the southwest
corner of Center and Church
streets. -rnai nouse stood until a
few weeks ago, when St was torn
down,, to make room for a used
car sales business.
W
The first child of the Haux-
hursts was Nelson, bora at the
Lee mission, likely 'in t& -cabin"
I referred to above. That may have
been the cabin of the "settler"
which was purchased by Jason
Leo for the mission in order to
give shelter to the Rev. Leslie
family, in .1837, also for the
newly-wBds, Rev. H. K. W. Per
kins and Elvira Johnson, mission
teacher.'
Ynvn . Kieison Hauxhurst was
a young man he attended the Cre-,
name became Willamette unlTerl
sity); was a seat mate there of
Jos. A. Baker, who up to the time
of hi death, Dec 16, 1932, had
spent the most years In Salem of
any resident here.
Nelson Hauxhurst was bright;
but he cursed his fate tor being,
"neither Indian nor white," there
fore not wanted by either race; i
became dissipated; killed a man
In a quarreL
Was convicted of manslaugh-
ter and sent to the penitentiary
and sot as far as present Klam
ath county, having led a sensa
tional chase.
V S
jinauy, August IZ, 1870. a
month and two days before his
term in that office expired. Gov
ernor George L. Woods pardoned
weison iiaaxnurst. Tne chief ex
ecutive evidently believed Nelson
had been sufficiently punished, or
that, given a chance, he might
maaie something useful ot his
life.
The freed man went south; ru
mors came back that he had pui
sued his studies among people in i
Central or South America who
welcomed one of their kind; ot
mixed blood. That he became a
treat surgeon,-etc., etc. . How
much of truth was In these ru
mors the writer - does not t say:
One thing, however, both seat
mates, Joseph A. Baker and Nel
son Hauxhurst, when! In the uni
versity,' thought of becoming doe-
tors.
.
So concludes this sketchy se
ries. But, for new comers from
the .dt bowls and elsewhere, I
tnere will follow, tomorrow, ac
counts of one of the most sensa-
Government
tional killings and m order
charges of pioneer days here;
brought about through the at
tempted killing of Webley Haux
hurst and wife, by a "tough guy"
who had washed up from some
where and was a rant avis among
early day residents here, who
were practically 100 per cent hon
est and law abiding.
