No rainfall was recorded in Salem yesterday and the Willam ette river, at 7.2 leet this morn- Incr. continued to drop. The maximum temperature yesterday was 63 and the minimum was 88. De Valera (Continued from page one) outstanding feature of the morn ing session ot the Ard FeWsh, which had only begun the discus sion of the party's future policy for or against the Anglo-Irish treaty when the luncheon ad journment was taken at 1:40 p m. Speaking to his resolution urg ing the Sinn Fein party to con tinue the fight for a republic, Mr. DeValera won hearty applause at numerous points he made in his address. "I would rather see the country flooded with British troops than given them the irrevocable right to be here," was one of his asser tions made in a dramatic manner, which resulted in loud cheers. Position Unchanged'. "Ireland," he declared later on is entitled to the dignity of a mother country and 1 will never consent to make her the illegiti mate daughter ol England." Again he said: "My position is the same as when I was made president ol this organization when I said 'our col ors are nailed to the mast.' What, I said I meant." Mr. DeValera appealed lor har mony between the divisions if a break ud should occur, saying he and Arthur Griffith always bad been colleagues and would con tinue so. PETITIONERS (Continued from page one) therefore almost wholly Irrelevant and beside the issues. "Petitioners presented through a public account, whose standing is known to carry weight with the commission, certain calculations nurporting to be income state ments the witness replied that he had prepared them on certain hypotheses dictated to him by counsel and that he disclaimed any responsibility for their cor rectness. Yet, we find counsel, in their brief, presenting these state- meats as the testimony and con elusions of this witness. "A score of witnesses were put forward to say that they opposed any increase in rates. This was not necessary. Every man of rea son knows that no one wants to Day more for service. The wit nesses are not more averse to pay-j ing higher rates than this com mission is to ordering them paid. "Much was said by counsel about poor service, but petition ers' own witness showed by test that calls were answered with a promptness possible only under ef ficient management "Hours of argument and pages of brief were devoted to assertions of gross inefficiency of manage ment, but petitioners only wit ness on this point testified that he had visited four exchanges In a single afternoon, and based his opinion on the fact that he found In ass certain devices which he thought not the best lor the pur pose. Furthermore, it was ad mitted by counsel that the stock noiuers Ol lue cuuipauy wuuiu economy holders of the company would be "The tonr and one-half per cent license revenue paid to The Amer ican Company was constantly re ferred to as exacted from the pa trons of the company and paid to the parent company for no con sideration whatever, notwith standing that It, was well known to counsel for petitioners that less than one-halt of this percentage was allowed by the commission, and that this allowance was based oa the actual cost of service ren dered by The American Company. Washington, Idaho, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Wisconsin, Mich igan, Missouri, Arkansas, Louis iana, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maryland, District of Columbia, New Jersey and the Dominion of Canada have allowed the four and one-half per cent or an equivalent. Oregon, California, Indiana, Kan sas, Oklahoma and Vermont allow It In part. None reject It. "The Western Electric contract has been accepted by every state which has passed on it. In their brief, petitioners abandon the claim that Western Electric prices are higher than those of other supply houses, but maintain that they ought to be much lower, and that all relief should be denied the company until the operations of the Western Electric, which cover the entire nation, have been Investigated In every detail and Its rate of net earnings ascertained In order to determine how much lower it might be compelled to sell. It is of no consequence to counsel that such an investigation would cost a half million dollars and would require two years or more time. "Testimony concerning farmer lines consisted ot complaints that the rates had been raised. It Is Interesting to know that the Everett Telephone Company, so highly lauded by counsel for pe titioners, charges farmers thirty- three and one-third per cent more than the highest rate for such service in Oregon. "The commission 's allowance for depreciation was attacked as unscientific on the ground that no such calculation could be re liable unless based .on the histor ical records of the property in volved. Order 499 shows' that this principle was recognized and adopted by this commission two years before it was "discovered" In the Chicago case quoted by council. "Petitioners' principal expert admitted that five and one-halt per cent lor depreciation was a reasonable average rate for tele phone properties in the United .States and that six per cent was carried by the companies with which he was connected. This commission has "lowed an aver age of four and one-half per cent. "Seven authorities are cited and quoted In the brief of the City of Portland in support of the claim that a depreciation reserve can not rightly exceed a certain percentage. Not one of these au thorities supports that contention "The depreciation reserve has been constantly represented as a burden on the ratepayers. On the contrary, It consists of funds withheld from the stockholders lor the protection ol the property, It has been contributed by the ratepayers, and is, and always will be the property of the ratepayers. The company Is obliged to account for it as such. The claim that the reserve Is too large Is equiv alent to a complaint that the company has withheld from Its stockholders too large a propor tion of its past earnings in order to put them into a fund for the benefit of Its patrons.

They Introduced exhibits purport ing to show that wages could be reduced without Injustice. They presented calculations of the ef fect upon net earnings of a re duction .in' wages; yet, they claim that they have not advocated such a reduction. 'Petitioners have presented nothing worthy of serious consid eration or justifying the suspicion and agitation which they have aroused. Tbelr failure to support their contentions was so obvious, even to themselves, that they re peatedly fell back on the excuse that the commission ought to in vestigate the subject and, by In ference, ought to supply the evi dence which they had promised to produce. The descent from the sublime to the ridiculous Is not often better illustrated than by the transition from tbe grand dlloquent announcements at the opening ot the case to the feeble excuse . that the commission 'ought to look into It.' Verily, 'Parturiunt montes, nascetur rid iculus mus. " "Expense and waste of time ere not the only losses suffered through thlB needless agitation, The Immense resources of the state need money for their de velopment. For the necessary capital, we must compete with a world in need. The reputation of a community lor fair dealing Is a factor taken into aocount by all prudent Investors. It a great and indispensable, statewide public utility is denied even the earnings possible on a savings bank deposit, is it to be expected that new capital will seek this field? If bitter and prejudiced agitation is followed by the denial ot bare justice, we shall Inevitably be driven to state and municipal ownership ot all public utilities, "There must be a definite ac ceptance of the principle that the true welfare ol the public Is best served by the maintenance of such rates as will enable the util ity to pay reasonable wages to its employes and to expend as re quired by our growing commun ities. Temporary measures will no longer avail. The duty of this commission is plain. Nothing id duced at the rehearing would justify the commission In doing other than sustain . the original order.
