The state through its highway department is the franchising authority on its highways, even within the city limits, and it cannot deny one or give exclusive privileges to another. Nor can the State by aoy other means pass on to a city the right to. ineffect, grant exclusive, a right th State itself does not have. To cut Salem Electric Wires on the Portland Road, destroy property,' cut off utility service to citizens without proper notice and due process of law, make arrests of workmen attempting to restore utility service to a legal place of business, all of this could only be, it appears, by the planning and coaching of that Portland power company who seems to forever have control of our Chamber of Commerce and of our Salem City Council, a practice generally followed by power monopolies. While government power through the distribution of our Salem Electric is the power of industry and of the poor man as records will show; could it be that our city is in the control of the power trust and our local aristocracy? The bait in that 90 day wonder tendered Salem Electric by our City Council as a franchise, but refused by Salem Electric's directors, confirms the trickery that some of our councilmen will De a party to In the effort to do a quick freexe-out to Salem's first and only priority government power agency. While PGE now seems to hold the whip hand over us in Salem, that customer a citizen by recent annexation who used his Salem Electric only four days, and oth ers, poor men, are paying PGE $34.00 for $23.00 worth of power. H. B. READ. Manager Salem Electric 1947 State Fair Shows Profit Of$40,000 The 1947 state fair showed a profit of around $40,000, despite the expenditure of more than $58,000 on permanent capital im provements, Director E. L. Pet erson of the state agricultural de partment, and Leo Spitzbart, fair manager, reported Friday. Total expenditures last year were $344,441 while 1947 rev enue totaled $382,306. The 1947 fair, although slightly below the record attendance of 1948, show ed a slight increase in gross rev enues over the fair of two years ago. Fair officials pointed out that the state fair does not receive supporting legislative appropria tions and the only fund available from state agencies is the allo cation of $35,000 per year from the state racing commission reve nues. Out of this allocation. (5,000 is paid annually on reimburse ment of the 1928 legislative ap propriation of $100,000 for con struction of the present grand stand. The 1947 premium list, which offered $50,000 in prize moneys, was the most extensive in his tory. The junior competition, in cluding 2,500 representatives of 4-H clubs and Future Farmer group, received over $12,000 of fair funds. The average annual legislative appropriation of public funds for the support of the fair during the 12 years prior to the advent of pari-mutuel wagering and le gal designation of Labor day as the fair's opening date, was $71, 367. Labor day attendance of 1946 and 1947 rank as the highest to tal admission dates in the state fair's 83-year history. Half Dollar : y:-.; ,- . t . - i - .-I i - ' V - ' v J , atS0 ' J: WASHINGTON.
