' " " " MAKES REPLY TO PRESS COMMENT Pacific Power & Light Company, Portland, Oregon, June 18, 1931. The Oregon Journal: The article in the Journal of Wednesday, June 17th, concerning the comments of Examiner Harris of the Federal Trade Commission in the investiga tion of Pacific Power & Light Com pany, contains the following state ment: "Dividends returned to the Amer ican Power & Light Company dur ing twenty years on its investment in Pacific Power & Light Com pany average 5.38 yearly." This statement, as shown by Mr. Harris's testimony and his written report to the Federal Trade Com mission, does not mean, and was not intended to mean, that the American Power & Light Company has earned this rate of dividend on its common holdings in the Pacific Company. It does mean that, ac cording to Mr. Harris's figures of the American Company's original cash investment in this common stock, the American Company has earned only an average of 5.38 per year on its actual cash invest ment in the common stock over the twenty-year period under investiga tion. This 5.38 is obviously very much less than the lowest rate any where recognized as necessary for a fair return. I The reference in the press report to Mr. Harris's testimony concern ing engineering fees is also liable to misinterpretation. During the period referred to in the article, the American Company supplied all of the engineering service for the Pa cific Company, and maintained and paid for the engineering depart ments both in Portland and in New York engaging" in investigating, de signing, planning and directing all engineering and construction work for the development of the Pacific property. As compensation or reimburse ment for these services and expen ses, the American Company receiv ed a fee of 10 upon the actual cost of the principal items' of new plant additions and improvements, excluding however the cost of me ters, automobiles, office equipment and many other items on which the fee was not computed. The am ounts paid for these engineering services and 'expenses have been in line with standard engineering costs thruout the country. In our iudement, the arrangement has been very favorable to the Pacific Power & Light Company and its customers, and it has been so re garded by everyone who has had occasion to make a critical exami nation of the work, services and expenses covered by the fee. Another point which should be kept in mind, in reading such state ments as reported in Wednesday's article, is that the rates charged by the Pacific Company to its cus tomers has never been based or computed on the amount of bonds and stocks outstanding. Public val uations or appraisals for rate mak ing purposes have disregarded cap ilization entirely, and have con fined their consideration to the pru dent cash investment in the prop erty actually employed in serving the public. As to the amounts spent by Pa cific Company for opposing political measures which it regarded as un wise and against its own and the public interest, the records filed in the Secretary of State's office show these expenditures in complete de tail; that they consisted chiefly in advertisements in the newspapers and in printed matter sent out over the signature of the responsible officers of the company, and that not a single dollar was spent for any questionable purpose. None of these expenditures has been charg ed to the operating expenses of the company, but on the contrary all have been charged against the com mon stockholders' interests. C. W.

Church night, Thursday evening, begins at 6:30 o'clock. "Life Prisoners" When Paul wrote that he was a "prisoner of Christ Jesus," he was a literal prisoner in Rome; but after his release, and before his incarcer ation, he rejoiced to know that he was a prisoner of Christ Jesus; just as he was proud to call himself the slave of the Christ. No bond could be called servile, no chain could be burdensome, If only it held him firmly to his Savior. Christ's prisoners, no matter what their other state may be, rejoice in the liberty wherein Christ has set His followers free. All are life pris oners who follow Christ, and would not have it otherwise, for this sort of imprisonment means LIFE IN DEED! Eternal life hereafter! "For this cause I, Paul, the prisoner PINE CITY Mr. and Mrs. Walt Wigglesworth were visitors at the Burl Watten burger home Sunday evening.
