FULL LEASED WIRE SERVICE OF TlIE ASSOCIATED PRESS AND THE I'.MTED PRESS The Associated Press Is exclusively of all news dispatches credited to it or and also local news published herein. "With or without offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes." Byron Misrepresenting Oregon The current issue of The Nation contains an article en titled "A Jolt for High Light Bills" written by Virgil Mac Wickle, which purports to be descriptive of the recent guber natorial campaign which it describes as a popular revolt against electric light and power rates. The author is un known to fame in Oregon but his article contains enough misstatements and half truths to give him some notoriety if not fame. It certainly adds nothing to the reputation of The Nation as an enlightened purveyer of facts though it enhances its standing as a disseminator of garbled fiction. The statement that the Portland Electric Power com pany has "a practically perpetual franchise entailing no pay ment of taxes", when it is one of the heaviest taxpayers in the state, is characteristic of the hysteria of the author. But we have grown so accustomed to such corporation baiting that we expect it. What we protest is the statement that Oregon power rates are extortionate and so high in compari son with those of other coast states that industry is being driven out of the state a falsehood repeated for political purposes during the recent campaign but not borne out by facts and which when broadcasted by The Nation is calculat ed to injure Oregon. Portland's rates compare very favorably with those of other Pacific coast cities, including those having municipal plants. In some respects they are lower and in some slightly higher, but there is not enough difference to effect industry. This fact is admitted even by Portland's $78,000 rate expert. Salem, which has the same rates as Portland, enjoys the lowest light and power rates of any of the 49 capital cities of the United States including the national capital, according to the recent compilation of the Public Service Commission of Montana. The capital cities are selected as being fairly representative of the rates that prevail in other cities so that Oregon really has the lowest power rates of any state in the Union, despite its large area of sparse population. The compilations show that the average cost to the con sumer in the 49 capitals, for the number of kilowat hours the dollar will buy, as contrasted with Pacific coast capital cities is as follows: $100 $2 50 $5.00 $10 $18 50 Average 113 325 li t 184 318 Salem 18. 55. 181. 458 113 Helena 12. 38. 117. 350 517 Olympia 15. 38. 87. 263 413 Sacramento 10. 40. 90. 190 330 Phoenix 12. 34. 81. 202 329 Boise 12. 31. 78. 202 323 Carson City 14.

The smaller towns are not in position to make a successful fight and the rural communities will be left out on a limb. The latter must look to the single commissioner for re lief, and he will find himself helpless to grant it, because the revenue of the utility will be so milked by the larger cities, through favorable rates and concessions granted, that any order entered by the commissioner reducing up-state rates would be set aside by the courts because reducing the company's revenues to the point of confiscation. This phase of the utility bill will prove far reaching and calls for careful study and sober thought on the part of the up-state members of the legislature. The people of the en tire state are entitled to receive fair rates and adequate serv ice and without discrimination as between localities. There is no good reason why Portland should be the sole benefici ary of this pet bill of the Governor's. Good News for Seattle. There is due to appear in the legislature today a bill to limit the length of freight trains to seventy cars and passenger trains to fourteen, in order to increase the number of trainmen necessary to operate. While this bit of news will be received with alarm by Portland it will be heard with joy and gladness in Seattle for if the proposed measure becomes a law it will seal the doom of Portland's famous 10 percent differential on freight shipped from points In the o-called Inland Empire to tide water. Ever since the coming of the railroads to the lower Co lumbia and Puget Sound, Portland has sought a more fa vorable rate than was granted to the Sound cities. Except from a few points, the interior rates to Portland and the Sound were for years on a parity. Along about 1916, how ever, the shippers of the interior, aided by Portland and oth er cities on the Columbia, filed a complaint before the Inter state commerce commission in which preferential rates over the Sound cities were demanded. The complaints supported the demands with the claim that tho railroads leading to Portland followed water grates which permitted the handling of twice as many cars per engine as could be handled over the mountain grades to the Sound. 0erating cost studies were offered in evidence which showed beyond dispute that freight could be delivered at Portland at far less cost than to Seattle or Tacoma. Through this showing Portland and Vancouver, Wash., were given a 10 percent favorable differential over the Sound cities with a result that the great wheat movement, long en joyed by the Sound, was almost all diverted to Portland. The losing of this fight was a bitter pill for the Sound cities and they have been unceasing in their efforts to re move the differential and restore the old time conditions. In their fights they have enjoyed the sympathy ami co-operation of the carriers. Just when they had all but given up the fight comes the news of the bill which, by limiting the num ber of cars to a train, would operate to destroy the fruits of those natural advantages which the ports on the Columbia claimed the right to enjoy. If under the law the shippers of this state are not to be permitted to profit through the ad vantages offered by a water grade but are to see their trains cut, by legislative fiat, to a length imposed by the mountain grades of the northern roads, then the difference in operat ing costs will disappear and with it Portland's differential.

McGes of the county road engineering department who has been working with his crew on the new Victor Point road Into Silver Falls reported Tuesday that he has reached Victor Point with his surveying operation from S lea lie's ranch, and for a dutance of about three and a halt miles there are only about 1300 feet on the old road, Uie right or way taking an entire ly new alignment the rest of ths distance. "The new right of way will cut the grades on the rnpd about In two in the middle on an average," he stated. "One 16 per cent grade will be reduced to tlx per cent and the heaviest grade on the entire new right of nay will be only.about eight per cent. In fact on one steep hill near the school I believe ths grade on the old road ts over It cent. At any rate, it Is a mighty steep grade. "Another big benefit of the new right of way will be the elimination of numerous bad curves. In soma places the old road winds like a serpent around through the hills. Much of this Is done away with and replaced by some tangents and easy curves. While some of the new right of way Is through timber, a good deal of It is through cultivated fields and we have found the land owners up there very reasonable and inclined to bo of assistance wherever possible. I can't say how far it is planned to carry on tha actual road work on this new road the coming year but the new grade, If followed, will certainly be a won derful improvement over the diffi cult old road."
