a freedom from this oppression that
the world demands, It Is necessary
that millions of the best young man

This, naturally, means a mental and

feelings of every American. To sup
ply this void In the lives of our mil

Ratsos In prices for the privilege of
existence have been so steady and re
gular during the past two years as to
have become a regular habit and the
noting of an increased cost In a com
munity usually brings out nothing
more than- a painful sigh on the part
of Individual.
What will probably arrest the at
tention of the seneral nubile tor seri
ous consideration however, Is the ra
dical ralio In the Telephone rates,
now about, to go Into effect.
The following extracts from the
Morning Oregonlan of November, 9th
are self explanatory.

made before the Public Service Com-' caJcui,ted to afford the relief esked
mission, Irrespective of whether theFurM were preMnted from state

Is declared to be due to the fact that
the telephone service Is under the con
trol of the Postpfflce Department,
which has exercised, the power or tho
Federal Government to enable the
company to make an ad
vance which the company asserts is
necessary to enable Improvements of

The hearing was one of the most

And, whereas, the privilege of giv

numerous incidents ana circum
stances with the minute details of
failure to obtain answers to calls,
how central failed to respond, or to
secure connections for subscribers.
The array of deficiencies wes based
upon Information resulting; from
work of Inspectors' of the depart
ment. Low wages paid for the trying
work of operators was also declared
an underlying cause of poor service.
James Shaw, counsel for the com
pany, said 1n reply to the statement
of the Commissioner, that the bitter
