THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1919. PAGE THREE. ATTORffY GENERAL TO 'DEFINE POWERS OF SERVICE BOARD l INCORPORATOS. I '- Whether the public Bervice commis sion has the power to make rates re troactive, to suspend the rates which the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company Is now collecting and the loraiitv nnd reasonableness of the rates established by Postmaster Gen ami RnrlRHon and adopted by the telephone company are the questions submitted today by the commission to Attorney General Brown for inter pretation. The questions were raised at the preliminary hearing in the matter on a motion instituted by the commission. Briefs have been submit ted in the case by the various par ties to the case and are referred to Mr. Brown. Final hearing was set to day by the commission to be held in Portland November 12. The act of congress providing for the reversion of the lines to private ownership on August first contained a clause in which it was provided that the rates effective and approved on or before June 6. 1919, should re main in effect four months after re- .version of the lines. The company on July 2 -adopted the rates and claim ed that the tariffs then adopted had been approved by Postmaster Gener al Burleson before June 6. The in vestigation of the public service com mission on its own motion resulted on complaint of several parties that the rates were never approved. . The committee in submitting the briefs to the attorney general sum marizes the questions to be determin ed as follows: "What were the existing exchange telnnhnne rates for the Facilio aeie phone & Telegraph company in Ore gon on or prior to June o, iai, tablished or approved by the post' mmitflr creneral? "Has the commission power and oi.ri onthnrltv to suspend the rates Which the Pacific Telephone & Tele- sTsrnh comDanv is now collecting t "Hm the commission power to make a rate retroactive?" On September 13 a brief was filed on behalf of the company Pillsbury, Madison and Sutro and their attor nevs James T. Shaw and Charles H. Carey, covering the three points and the reasonableness of the rates. On September 27 a brief was filed for the city of Portland by W. P. Roche and H. M. Tomlinson, attorneys for the city. Brief was filed October 7 by Veazie McCourt and Veazie for the Oregon chamber of commerce and on October 6 the telephone company in ed a brief in reply to the brief of the city of oPrtland. Virtually the same points are coV' ered in the briefs referred to the at tnrnnv Ereneral in the case of the Home Telephone and Telegraph com pany of southern Oregon in which testimony was taken, at Medford on September 8." Final hearing in this case has not been set by the commiS' Ion . - The Creasey-Anderson company of Astoria capitalized at $75,000 filed ar ticles of incorporation Monday. - It will do a general Jobbing, whoesale and re tail business in builders' supplies.

Theo dore Roosevelt was a typical Ameri can. Ho stood for the things that are highest in our citizenship. It is well for the nation to ever keep alive the memory of men of the type of Theo dore Roosevelt. I take it that the move for this memorial,' while It is a tribute to Mr. Roosevelt, is also a move to keep before this and coming gen erations the standard of citizenship -which Mr.' Roosevelt typified. I be lieve every Oregonian should be a member of the Roosevelt Memorial as sociation and I trust that those who may have been missed in the recent campaign will make every effort to see that their names are listed on the membership roll in the near future.
