Another bearing Will be held be
fore the Public Service Commission
of this state on February 24, when
tho question of the increase in the
telephone rates will be considered.
Th following notice has been sent out
by the Commission.:
"You will please take notice that
the above entittaTand numbered case
will come ton for further hearing be-
jore this CommtaTto.tr o..itonday, the
2-tth day or February, 1919, at ten

parties will have opportunity to be

Dated at' Salem, Oregon, this 11th
day of February. 1919."
Keen Interest will be manifested
in the hearing and this city will un
doubtedly be represented. It occupies
a somewhat different position from
most of the cities affected. When the
Pacific Telephone and. Telegraph com
pany came" In here. It secured its
franchise because It entered into an
agreement with the city not to In
crease Its rates until it had one thous
andphones'in use. After this num
ber of phones were In use, the rates
to be charged were specified, and It
is to enforce this contract that Klam
ath 'Falls will make Its fight. Thero
Is not a single user of a phono in this
city but who has expressed his de
termination to refuse to recognize
any Increase that Is contrary to the
franchise, and if the Commission re
fuses to recognize this contract,
there is certain to be launched a fight
that will mean either the backdown
of tho telephone company or a muni

Kffoits Have Gone a Long Way po
Get Kl.umith County Out of the '
Mud KinhI lload Body to Meet
In a I'ch Kajs."
"My senate resolution No. 11 has
Just passed the House."
This was the glad tidings that a
telegram from Senator Baldwin car
ried to The Herald today. This
means that Oregon will have a chance
to get out of the mud; thatuhepeo-,
pie of the various counties will have "
Ian opportunity to say whether he
want to snare in tne big bona issue
that the state is going to make; and,
to say whether they shall vote 'bonds
for the construction of permanent
highways.
tit
Klamath County is proud of its
senator. It Is proud of the fact that
this resolution originated here, and
The Herald is particularly glad that
the firht move of its program for a
Greater Klamath County has been
made. When the Question of road
construction was raised. The Herald
saw that it would be impossible to do
anything until an amendment was se
cured to the constitution, permitting '
the voting of bonds for a greater sum
than 2 per cent of the assessed valua
tion of the county .and It took Imme
diate steps looking towards the
amendment of the constitution rais
ing the limit to 10 per cent. Senator
Ilaldw in gave his earnest support to
tho suggestion, and introduced a reso
lution calling for this amount, but op
position compelled him to change the
resolution placing the limit at 6 per
cent. He made a strenuousJight fpr
the passage ' tlie resolutlonlntbe
senate?- and not only won there, but
carrlcd'lt over to the house, and lob
bied "it through. The entire credit
for the passage of this resolution
due to Seuator Ilaldwln, who from
tho stait showed his interes't In; hU
home county and Its development by
getting back of and putting through
both houses this measure.
A meeting of the Good Hoads As
