Under tho title, "A Squnro Deal tor Public Utilities" Collier's In Us Issuo of March 12 says: "Thero Is an ex planation, somowhero, of tho lack of good will bo shown by tho nvorago community toward tho public-utility company that serves It with light, heat, and power. Ono reason, we think, has never been fully stated: If the power and light companies were owned and controlled by ono or two men, nnd namod after people, as tho majority of our big enterprises are. we would be apt to haro a raoro' friendly feeling toward thorn." Collier's feels that tho human cle ment falls to entor Into tho public utility business to a sufficient extent. Tho customers of tho utility fall to seo or meet Its managers and stock holders and they do not meet them as they do tho proprietors of other largo Industries In tho community. For tho samo reason employes of many of tho utility companlos fall to havo a personal Interest and reflect their attitude In their dealings with tho public. On tho other band, In our heading westorn cities wo often find tho managers and directors of our great public utility enterprises, aro among our most public-spirited citi zens. They take a hand In orcry com munity activity and lead in public welfare, civic, commercial, and indus trial activity, giving unsparingly rot meir umo ior mo puuuc guuu. Collier's article states that accord ing to figures prepared by tho Cham ber of Commcrco of tho United States "It will require $852,500,000 prop erly to equip tho 1,250,000 'houses and apartments walch this country now needs, with heat, light, tran sportation and telcphono facilities. This monoy must como from tho big and littlo pools of peoples' savings, and those pools will yield Investment money only wbon tempted by securi ties which guarantee a fair roturn. "Ono of New York's nowspopors has latoly been printing letters from tho chairmen of publlc-serrlco com1 missions of different states which tend to show that tho outlook for publlo-utlllty securitlca Is on the mend,, that public-utility problems aro gradually being taken out of pol itics, and tbat a bettor public attl tudo toward public-utility enterprises Is bolng doveloped. Dut hasto is bet ing made slowly. "America must movo forward, and tho apeod and comfort with which sho moves will depend in a largo raeas uro upon her ability to produce, at' low costs, beat, power, and light. Let each community give soma thought to its public-utility situation, to the end that we may more quickly glvo a squaro deal, not only to the hand that lights the gas stovo or turns on the electric switch, but to tho Invest ment pocketbook which furnishes tho capital as well." m FIGIITIXG FIRE HAZARD "Safeguarding America Against Fire" is a monthly publication issued by tho National Hoard of Fire Under writers and it is a pity It cannot reach tho hands of every person In this country. Dy illustration and text this littlo magazlno shows In a graphic manner tho terriblo loss caused by careless ness with firo. In tho March Issuo is shown the Laboratories' Plant in Chicago. It Is tho beat, oxamplo In America of Fire Roslstlvo Construction for largo buildings. In this plant scientific tests aro mado on ovorything tbat will burn, crack, crumble or bo des troyed by heat. When the laboratory has" finally tosted and passed on an article it Issues lables to the manu facturer, which are pasted on the article showing its flro resisting and safety qualities. Thus are fire hazards and Insur ance costs being gradually reduced.

Farnum will bo sceu nt the Llborty Theatro tomorrow In "The Scuttlors". "Tho Scuttlers" Is roploto with un usual Incidents and Is said to havo thrills enough to satisfy tho most eager Farnum fan. When tho scut tlors begin their work Farnum Is i: prisoner In tho hold of tho ship. Thon thlnKs happen that stir tho blood. Thoro aro two typical Farnum fights, and tho romanco centers upon tho mutual lovo of Farnum nnd tho daughter of tho ship's captain.

Mr. Moylo's lottor rathor Indicates that tho department favors tho latter courso, provided tho purchaso prico of other property and tho now build ing will not exceed tho salo prlco of tho property upon which tho old post offlco Is now located. Mr. Moylo makes no recommendation ns to tho suggestion that tbo old poitbfflco property bo turned over to tho city of Portland for public park purposes, but ItonresentaMvo McArthur Is op posed to tho donation of this land by tho federal government, bollevlng that cltlos nnd "other municipalities should pay for government property which Is desired for local purposes Tho full text of Mr. Moylo's Icttor to Roprosentntlvo McArthur Is as fol lews: More Room Needed "Referring to our rccont corre spondence In regard to tho building In Portland.
