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'

Deploring the poor showing made

failed to raise their quotas in the
Jtoosevelt Memorial fund campaign
Governor Olcott said Monday; !
"I regret this very much. Af this
time it has become the duty of every
loyal American to inculcate the' princi
ples of Americanism and of loyalty to
American standards and ideals. 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. I
Teallze It Is difficult for everyone to be
reached In a campaign of this kind and
I feel satisfied that the people, If they
once realize the value of such memor
ial to our country, will readily re
