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.

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.
