Mirico commission by assess

Btllitles regulated U voiced by
Senator Hilton R. Klepper of
Multnomah county. The opposi

y Governor Pierce and Jefferson
Myers as members of the budget
commission In refusing to recom
mend sq appropriation for the
aommlsslon apparently baa put
the commission in some danger
and come friends of the depart
lent nrc apprehensive.
Senator Klepper has mado
study of the department and has
made public a statement 'setting
forth his views.
"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.
"There are many Important
matter now pending before that
cummietfiou. Viioio ure also sev
eral causa of great importance to
the people of the state of Oregon
now before the Interstate com'
merce commission, principal
among which are central Oregon
railway development, and Ibe
valuation of Oregon lnterstaic
railroads, which should be given
attention by the public service
commission of Oregon.
"ljuring the existence of the
commission, valuation ot the phys
ical properties of the following
railroads and untlllties have been
made by the commission: Kail
roada and street railways, 9; tele
phone utilities, 10: electric utili
ties. 22; water utilities, 16; gai
utilities, .
"All of the above valuations
have been made for the purpjic
of establishing rates.
"There are now pending before
this commission four cases In
which valuation and rates arc to
be determined. Court appeals
have been taken and cases are now
pending against orders of thl
commission In the farm products
cases in which substantial redac
tion In freight rates were made
bv state wide order of this com
mission. Appeal from this com
missions order Is pending in tut
valuation of the gas utility at As
toria and from an order of this
commission In the reapportion
ment ot costs of overhead highway
crossings over the tracks ot the
Southern Pacific at Wilbur and
Sutherlfn.
There le pending In the federal
court an appeal by the carriers
from an order of the Interstate
commerce commission reducing
exxprcss rates In Oregon, Wash

concerning which was participat

with other commissions from the
western states.
'If there is to be no commission
functioning in this state, the fed

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."

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.
