"Copies of the state budget fur Ished senators and representa tives In the state legislature con tain no proviison for an approprl itlon for the public service cjm sifsslon of Oregon," says Kleppsr "This provision apparently was lllmlnatcd from the stnte budst at the suggestion of the governor of the state. "The public service commission of Oregon and Its predecessor, the railroad commlsleon, have been in existence for about twenty years and have filled a very Important place In the state's affairs. Ex perience has demonstrated two things: "First That public service cor porations must be regulated; an J, "Second That the best results ire secured through the efforts or in administrative body trained by ixperlence.

BARE IN LETTER Many school teachers and school boards in Oregon are be ing duped by book agents selling subscription books on the subject of school and teacher methods, saye J. A. Churchill, state super intendent ot schools, and he nas issued a letter to county and slly superintendents requesting them to warn teachers against the pur chase of such books. Several county superintendents have com plained to the state superintend ent about the operations of the book agents. "My attention baa been called to the activities of book agents in several districts ot Oregon who Are offering their wares to school boards and to teachers," said Mr. Churchill. "Many of these books are of little value but are pur chased by school board members who are anxious to do everyth'm; remote control. "The state of Oregon cannot af ford to be deprived of an admin istrative body empowered by law to Investigate and regulate the service, rates and practices of common carries and other public service corporations or utilities, and for that reason, I am opposed to the policy suggested of support ing the commission by providing funds for the exercise of Its duties and functions solely, or in part, by assessments, levies or charges made for that purpose against the railroads or untlllties regulated. 'If through lack of funds this commission cannot properly regu- lute the railroads and public util ity companies it is charged by laws, passed by the people on ref erendum, to supervise and regu late a chaotic condition Is certsin to exist which will be very detri mental to the best Interests of the people of the state."

Adv, For CHRONIC COUGHS ANNOUN GIN G nt In THE Greatest Optical Achieveme JSL Fifty Years The Bow Optical Co. in keeping with their policy of supplying their patrons with the best , obtainable in optical requirements are pleased to make the announcment of a new lens called "The Crossed Trifocal." This lens gives clear vision for distant objects, reading and intermediate distance and at the same time it eliminates the difficulty of "learning to wear." The forms of bifocals here-to-fore used, through a most ingenious method of manufacture. We have tested this lens out thoroughly, under practical working con ditions, and find it to be the first real practical Trifocal. Three Fields of Vision Cross trifocals have 3 dis tinct fields of vision dis tance reading and inter mediate. Never before has this been possible in a practical way. Made from one Piece of Glass and ground in such a wavj as to eliminate the con fusion usually experienced when looking down through' ordinary bifocals. This Photograph ::: For the Business Man Cross Trifocals give to the business man , at his desk a clear range of vision that he never could secure before. Seated in his chair he can read letters, see drawings or papers on the far corner of his desk and study a map on the wall with equal ease. For Accountants and Clerks ' Book keepers who "lose" a line of fig ures when wearing bifocals will find it easy to read every line with trifocals, be cause there is no "blind area." !!!! This picture of a lace net taken through a Cross Tri focal shows clearly the in termediate field at the sides, and its focal power half way between distance and reading. Easy to Wear Anyone requiring far and near glasses cau w ear the Cross Trifocal, they do not require "breaking in." People w7ho have found it impossible to wear even high priced bifocals can wear this lens with ease. Let Us Show You This New Lens and Explain It Further We will be very glad to demonstrate the usefulness of this wonderful achievement, if you will come in. We have throoughly, tested them before making this anno uncement and fully endorse all claims made for them.
