Cheese Maker« Meet
The regular monthly meeting and
scoring contest of the Tillamook
County Cheesemakers Assn.
took
place December 2 in the Creamery
Assn. Rooms.
Unfortunately there
were only six entries of cheese for
scoring on which Judges decided as
follows:
Norman Christensen 98,
Roy Savage .96%, i Hugh Barber
96[/, Frank Wilson l 96%. Floyd
Culberson 95%, and Elmer Hopkins
95%.
It was decided to give a banquet
to the members of the Creamery
Assn, and their wives, sometime in
January or February, and a com
mittee was appointed to arrange for
this.
Inspector F. W. Christensen was
present and read some articles on
the competition of Tillamook cheese
and urged that Tillamook Cheese
makers strive to keep in the lead in
the future as they have in the past.
It was also decided that Roy Sav
age and Alex Walker go as delegates
to the Oregon Butter and Chees*-
makers convention to be held in
Portland the 9th and 10th of this
month.
Motor vehicle owners who have
not applied for their 1921 license
are urged by the Secretary of State
to do so at once in order to avoid
congestion in the Department a-
round the first of the coming year
and also that they may avoid arrest
by peace officers for failure to carry
1921 license plates after January
first. The law will be ridgidly en-
forced by the inspectors of the de-
partment.
There are now over 103,000 li-
censed cars in Oregon. To this
time about 9,000 applications for
19 21 licenses have been received.

iKjuora
In spite of the fact that a great majority of the telephone using public
‘ ‘ i and
obligations of public service
thoroughly understand the rights, duties
;
then
an
individual
who docs not understand
companies, we find now and
the matter.
A telephone company, in its broadest sense, is a partnership consisting
of the State as an institution, the public as a group of customers, and the
company. The State determines the extent to which the company may
go and regulates its rates, service and practices. 1 he company furnishes
the facilities with which these rights are exercised and the services
rendered. Those tnenibe’« of the public constitute the customers, furnish
the revenue with which the company is enabled to perform these services.
No telephone company can exist without customers, and these customers
must be treated with fairness both by the company and by the State. The
State does not permit any undue burden to be placed upon a customer.
A public service corporation, in a broad sense, is merely an organized
right to render the public a service, and in the same larger sense the
service belongs to the company’s customers. It follows that the custo-
mers are really the company. What benefits or harms the one has a like
effect upon the other.
We are anxious that our present customers, applicants for service,
and the company shall be treated fairly. To continue to extend our service
under our present condition is impossible. We invite our customers, the
public of Oregon, to interest themselves in our problem.
