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.

It obsolete, the reserve must be
used to replace it, end cam mot be
too large.
"Petitioners allege that tele
phone employes were receiving
higher wages than ever before.
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.
