Out of over 70 letters that the
committee sent out, Inquiring if co

had been received to only 12. One
of these was from a circuit Judtre and
11 from district attorneys. No su

Circuit Judge C. H. McCulloch of

to the 37 per cent reduction that
would fall to him, and he suggested
Instead that the salaries of circuit
Judges be set back to the former
figure of MOO0. Three district at

not agree. They were Sherman S.

Hagglund of Tillamook and John L
Storla of Columbia. Some of the
other eight agreed. Others agreed
with qualifications. Supreme Judges
would receive a cut of 43 per cent

Senate Adopts Glass Banking Bill;
Faces Slow Death
UTILITIES NEED
SNUBBING POST
T
SALEM, Jan. 26. (AP) Public
Utilities Commissioner Charles M.
Thomas declared the state needs leg
islation "not to co-operate with
utilities, but to put a harness on
them to bring them to a snubbing
post and make them like it." At the
public hearing on his seven-point bill
Introduced In the senate to effective
ly control utilities. .
The commissioner vigorously as
sailed practices of public utilities In
watering stock and In making pay
ments to eastern holding companies
In the general pyramiding of valua
tion figures. The hearing until close
to midnight was the second one on
the measure and was well attended.
Holding Companies lilt
Thomas stated that the public
utilities will not admit that they are
charged with public Interests. "They
are always seeking to grasp more
than a fair return, collecting through
the most astute channels or subter
fuge that clever lawyers can contrive"
the commissioner said. "Eastern own-
ors through holding companies are
constantly siphoning money out of
the state."
The budget approval feature of the
bill was declared by Thomas as the
most important of all and one from
which he would not back down. He
declared all seven points of the bill
essential, but that the keystone was
the provision whereby the publlo
utility budgets must all be submitted
to the commissioner for approval.
Want reck at Budget
"We want to catch this money be
fore it is spent rather than after,"
he said. "All we want is about 80
minutes to look at the budget. The
budget will contain the proposed
gross revenue and other charges to
go to the affiliated holding compan
ies. By objecting to the payment
until the facts have been presented
disclosing the contemplated services,
the amount and necessity thereof,
this payment can be prevented."
This, he said, would shift the bur
den of proof from the utilities com
missioner to the public utilities them
selves, who would have to Justify any
and all questionable expenditures
which were contemplated. The com
panies would thus be forced to show
on any work, necessary, that the
charges were right and the work
done.
All operating companies In the
state of Oregon at the present time,
except the Portland General Electric
company and the Portland Traction
company, submit budgets for the en
suing year to an eastern holding
company, he said. The eastern group
approves the budgets. The commis
sioner asks that the same budget be
submitted to him with the right for
him to object to contemplated ex
penditures that are clearly not pru
dent. Thomas pointed out that right
of appeal to circuit court on any of
his decisions waa always assured the
utilities.

they utilized receasea to enllat legis

Not that they need to do much

the proposed beer bill Is all wet

other words. It can't stand on lta
feet without ataggerlng Into a flock

federal.
The auggestlon that the weta were
merely working out machinery to
have In readiness In case the federal
laws were repealed, met a barrage
of poo-poos from the dry workers.
Such technique Is worthy only or
