Land owned by the state has bee neagerly sought since one well came in in the central part of the state. The state board of land commissioners has blven leases on a total of 307,200 acres of land for I an annual rental of $60,000. The j state executed 600 leases. So far, reports received by the I beard show that only one leaser i has actually started drilling oper- ations on this acreage, which "is scattered through every county in the state east of the Rockies, When the rush for leases started the state leased a section of land for an annual rental of $100, re quiring 10 percent royalty of "all oil and gas with a renewal privi lege at the end of -five years with out any drilling required. When the demand exceeded all expectations and grew into a busi ness which began to compare with the old-time gold rushes the state land beard changed the lease. Since March 8, 1920, the board cut the acreage to 320 acres for each lease, demands drilling start ed within eighteen months, and a 1 5 percent royalty is now demand ed.

Ask For and Get thus Avoiding Imitations SUBSTITUTES Cost YOU Same Price Telephone Rates and The Decline in Prices The Telephone Company has asked its patrons in Oregon to pay more for their telephone service. It has placed the facts and figures of the situation be fore the Public Service Commission for their investigation and verification. The increases will not amount to much to individual subscribers, but the aggre gate will permit the Company to properly maintain and develop its service. We have shown the Commission that we are operating at a loss. Our ex penses are greater than our earnings. The owners of the property are receiv ing nothing from their Oregon investment and the interest due on debts which should properly be borne by the Oregon properties are not being paid from Or egon receipts. At the hearing before the Public Service Commission not a fact or figure presented by the Company was disputed or disproved. The only material con tention made was that increases were perhaps inopportune in view of the ap parent decline in general commodity prices. The Company is asking for a reasonable return upon its existing invest ment, without regard to the uncertainties of the future. The Company files periodical reports of its operations with public authorities and its future invest ments will be the subject of constant consideration and future adjustments, if necessary. Salaries and wages make up 72 percent of our current expenses. We hope they will not be reduced and do not think they should be. In the five years 1916-1920 inclusive, we have increased the wages of our plant people $307,000.00. Our traffic (operating) employees $681,000.00, com mercial employees, $98,000.00, a total of $1,086,000.00 per annum. Efficient and contented employees mean good service. It is their due and our desire that their compensation be equal to that paid in other lines of busi ness activity. Adequate service is dependent upon adequate rates.
