Passage of the measure was urged in the messages of retiring Governor Bow erman and Gorernor West, but it is being opposed by a portion of the Portland delegation, who favor the creation of a public service commission for the city of Portland alone. While the latter commission would provide fat salaries for a new board, it would afford no relief for the rest of the state. Public service corporations are doing business in every city in Oregon, and the people of towns other than Portland are entitled to protection and relief as much as the people of Portland. There is no public service corporation doing business in Portland alone, except perhaps the gas company. The street railway, the light and power, the telephone, telegraph and rail road companies all operate outside of the metropolis, hence mu nicipal regulation would only half fill the bill—and it becomes a subject for state, not municipal control. Public service regulation in most states is modeled along the lines pioneered by LaPollette, of Wisconsin, and nowhere has it been found practical to limit regulation to one city alone.
