STORE BUILDING
TO BE ERECTED
SOME IAWS NULLIFIED BY MISTAKES
. 48 WrS
(By Edward M. Cousin)
Two agencies, competition and
public regulation, primarily control
the quality of service received and
the price paid for it by the parton
of a public utility privately operat
ed.
Where
competition exists,
there is little need for public regu-
into
lation. which usually comes
play when a monopoly has been
created.
There is a third element, always
present in some degree ana given
but slight consideration, namely tho
ability or willingness of the public
generally as distinguished from in
dividuals, to take the servlca and
pay the rate required. A fourth
element,
always magnified and
put forward prominently, Is the al
leged necessity of the utility
more money.
in
When It Is considered that
Portland, no attempt has been made
to increase rates for elec-tjlc light
ing, in which service two separate
concerns
compete, the question
naturally
arises, why different
principles are applied to the. con-
struction of rates for competitive
service and for monopolistic tervice
and how It happens that competing
utilities are able to carry .m with
out appealing to the public for in
creased rates.
Must the public fight against
monopoly and encourage competi
tive service with its attendant eco
nomic loss and duplication of (ecu
ities to protect itself against un
bridled exactions or should the Pub
lie Service Commission tak • hit'-
consideration, in connection with
an application to raise public util-
ity rates whether competition has
been stifled.
A review of the Home Telephone
transaction and its application to
the two preceding« before the Pub
lic Service Commission involv ng In
creased telephone rates in Poti land
and some other communities creates
a very vivid impression that some
thing i« out of joint either in th- re
gulatory activities in this sta’.e or In
the generally accepted theoi/ tli*t
the rights of the public is the para-
mount consideration.
Tax collections on the first half
are reported as now totaling about
3350,000 and coming rather slowly.
