FIRST NATIONAL BANK
©ANNOUNCEMENT
To our Patrons and
the General Public
I n VIEW of the fundamental injus­
tice of the telephone rate order issued
October 11, 1934, by the Commissioner
of Public Utilities, we had no alterna­
tive, in fully meeting our public respon­
sibilities, but to submit the matter to
court for final decision. On the facts
which we have presented, the court has
temporarily suspended the order of the
Public Utilities Commissioner.
Pending the final determination by
the court, bills for exchange telephone
service will be rendered at the rates in
effect prior to the Commissioner's order.
Our Company has given bond, under the
court's order, which fully protects all
our customers in case any refunds may
be due.
Telephone rates have been regulated
in Oregon for twenty years, and only
reasonable earnings under the most fa­
vorable business conditions have been
allowed. It is a well-known fact that our
earnings under regulation are limited in
good times. Private industry is not so
limited. During the depression, tele­
phone earnings, along with those of
other businesses, have been seriously
impaired because of the decreased use
of the service.
At all times our investment is fixed
by the public requirements and conse­
quently the carrying charges on our
telephone plantare likewise fixed. Under
regulation we are not guarantted any
return on our investment and we are
permitted to earn only a fair return when
business conditions make that possible.
Throughout the depression, it has not
been possible for us to earn any figure
even approaching a fair return.
O ur EARNINGS in Oregon dur­
ing the last eighteen months have been
less than 2% per annum on our prop­
erty, the value of which is $37,000,000.
The value of the property used in intra-
state Oregon operations is $31,000,000.
The Public Utilities Commissioner held,
in his recent order, that this portion of
the property was worth only $20,825,-
000, a reduction of $10,000,000, or over
30%. The reduction in rates ordered,
while small to the individual rate-payer,
aggregates over $365,000 a year to the
Company and will reduce our present
low earnings to 1% on the value of the
property. It is apparent that these dif­
ferences are substantial and not minor
concessions that our Company might
make.
Every vital principle and fact which
have given Oregon a telephone service
of the highest quality at the lowest
possible cost consistent with financial
safety were ruled on adversely by the
Public Utilities Commissioner. We must
continue to render an adequate, depend­
able and satisfactory service, and meet
our obligations to the public we serve,
the men and women who are loyally de­
voting their lives to this great public
service, and our stockholders. In ful­
filling these responsibilities we had no
other recourse than the legal step which
the rate order forced us to take.
T h E BELL SYSTEM, of which our
Company is fortunately a part, has dedi­
cated itself to the fundamental policy
and purpose of rendering the most tele­
phone service and the best at the lowest
possible cost to the public.
Our Company, through its contractu­
al relationship—in no sense a relation­
