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.

"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
