best plant In tho 8tateTq,woric wun.
I could not gel tno nusincss: - -,
Bo tbat for tho past two years
havo been between tho Devil and tho
deep blue sea. I havo not beou able
to make tho plant pay n return on tho
Investment, and of course I have not
been ablo to reduce tho rates. I rea
lized that under tho peculiar local
conditions, that the money Invested
In tho plant was In dangor, but that
I had lived In hopo that the long
looked for development would come
and pull mo out ot tho hole, by giv
ing mo a chanco to got moro business.
so I could ruduco the ratos.
"In ordor to convlnco tho council
and tho people that wo wero playing
fair I was tino of tbo strongest advo
cates for calling la 'e public rer
vlco co mm l:e Ion. nnd thev have just
concluded holr Jiivpstluattan npd
oxpect to have a. bearing ln;thq neat
luturo.
"Now then Into this condition of
affairs comes theDend Flour- Mill'
Askiae for a franchise to uso tho
Streets for polea to carry power to
their flour mill from outside the
town. Previous to Its chaugo of
ownership we had carried the flour
mill for about eight months, and bad
never got n cent for It- wo did not
havo to carry It of course, but we did
not want to shut down tho only In
dustry In town.
"Now then cornea n man who statos
that ho will malto tho floor mill a
success but In order to accomplish
It he must have cheap power, becauso
ho la handicapped bv the differential
In freight rate between Uond and
towns nearer th center of the wheat
bolt such ns Redmond or Madras.
"I feel that any Industry Is en
tltlod to this becauso othorwlo the.v
will not locnto hero, but I must not
mako tho rnto so low that the pub
llo will bo carrying Ibo burden.
"For this reason after talking It
ovor with Mr. Kroenort several time
I offered to furnish tho power on tho
following basis: 76 H. P. on n 10
hour basis. $181 per month; 75 II.
P. on a 24 hour sehodulo. $170 per
month; according to Mr Kraenort's
figures on tbo output of his mill, this
amounts to 5 cents on n barrel of
flour that costs you J7.C0 or to put
It another way to mitnufature JUtO
worth .of flour will cost 05 contB for
tho power. ,
"This shows how ridiculous all this
fuss about power Is nnd that tho op
eration of tho flour mill Is not tho
real conslderotlon of this franchise.
You might fay tbat you aro not
Interested In what tho flour mill bays.
This Is one of tho groat mistakes of
this whole business bocauoo the coun
cil la not Biinposod to bo representing
the flour mill or Foloy or any other
Interest. You aro here to do what
ever is best for tho publlo and the
granting of this franchise would bo
distinctly nntaKontstlo to tho publio
Interest Why?
"Rocause oven this low, rate that
tho flour mill would pay ub will rep
resent between 10 and 20 per cent of
our net revenue for electricity and
If this revenue Ib taken away, it will
mako it necessary for tho Railroad
Commission to fix tho ratos that
much higher than It this franchise Is
Mannh

not granted.
"This docs not mean that the
rates will bo necessarily that much
higher than they are now, but that
they wlil bo that much higher than
what the commission would make
them if wo had this flour mill reve
nue; "It has been said that this Is a
Question of personal liberty, that tbo
flour mill ought to be allowed to use
the streets for their polea it they
want to. This is another mistake,
becauso personal liberty ends when
you begin to interfere with the rights
of others, and in this case it would
be Interfering with tho rights ot tho
public, because ns I said before you
would cause tho public to pay be
tween 10 and 20 per cent moro for
tholr light and power. Another point
to bo considered Is "hat In tho very
near future this town Is going to bo
put In tho position of trying to In
duco a loreo milling Industry to lo
cate In Rend rather than a good many
miles from Rend, Is tho attitude or
the town toward the oastorn capital
already Invested hero going to havo
any weight In making this decision,
my guess is that it is.
Tho counoll has put this whole
matter In the hands of the commis
sion and tho least you can do Is U
wait tholr decision.
I am .not asking you to favor a
