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. In the case of school district No. 31 against Henry Butler the plain­ tiffs allege that Butler was glvon sums amounting to {800 in Novem­ ber 1919 and March 1920 by W.S Fleming and that this money was to be turned over to the school dis trict. Claiming that the defendant has refused to pa^thia sum the dis trict is now suing to obtain a judg meat for the amount with Interest The Steinbach Iron Works versus John Peyree et al is a suit filed tho week to obtain a judgement for la bor performed and materlals materials fur nished on a box factory at Twin Rocks. C.W. Splering claims the Wheeler United Lumber company owes him money on some promlssary notes and seeks the aid of the court in getting it. Kuppenbender and Company are being sued by the B.F. Goodrich Rubber Company to obtain money said to be due on promiHsary note. For legal services said to have been rendered one of the defendants in March 1921 S.S. Johnson is suing J.G. Harris and Ernest Harris for the sum of 375 and interest, said to be the amount due for the services und which the defendants hive re­ fused to pay, according to the plain­ tiff. Curses, mistreatment and con- her stant nagging on the part of husband's family are said to have been the lot of Bessie Sailing in the in the complaint filed against her husband, Roy A. Sailing, in which the wife asks for a divorce and sup­ port money. The couple were mar­ ried at Tillamook October 11, 1916 and two children were born to the union. ANOTHER DROP IN CHEESE PRICE r I Carl Haberlach reports Wisconsin Longhorns as having declined «-»16 cents this week, Daisies, 16^ cents, twins withdrawn account poor draw­ ings. Consequently it has been ne­ cessary to decline Tillamook pi ices still further, triplets now being quoted at 25 cents, Longhorns and Young Americas, 26 cents. This is the lowest prices prevailing on Tilla­ mook cheese since 1917. Production of cheese is on the In­ crease, the second week of April pro duction having been 2.457 boxes, against 1,997 same week last year, a gain of 460 boxes or 23 per cent With the announcement of the drop of prices on cheese of 3 cents comes an announcement of drop n feed pries of 13 00 per ton.

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE ASKS COOPERATION OF GOVERNORS 185,000,ODO DAMAGE 8Ï FORESI FIRES MAY 22-28 TO BE OBSERVED AR FORE8T PROTECTION WEEK Washingtun, April 20.—Declaring that "we have been thoughtlessly permitting the destruction of >ur foreata by fire,” and that It • spells disaster unless the rate of burning is materially checked," Secretary of Agriculture Wallace has just written the governors of all the states ask­ ing their co operation in the nation­ wide observance of forest pritectiun week by President Harding In re­ sponse to the request of the forest service of the department of agri­ culture, and the secretary In his let­ ter urges the governors to set apart for "such educational and instruc­ tive excereises e.s shall bring bsfoni the people the serious effects of the present unnecessary waste by freest fires.” According to data gathered by the forest service, forest fires during the five years ending with 1920, devnu luted an urea greater than the New Englund elutes, and caused a toss of more than. 385,000,000. statistics «bow that human agen­ cies were responsible for approxi­ mately 80 per cent of the 160,000 forest fires occuring during tho live year period, and that they could have been prevented by care and vi­ gilance on the part of the people. In addition to growing timber and settler's homes destroyed, there was a heavy loss of life, in tin grout Minnesota fire of 1918, nearly 1000 people were either burned to death or relocated. The forest protection week move*- m nt originated on the Pacific Coe*t iq 19 20 when it was proclaimed by a number of governors in Western stales and generally observed by their citizens. This year the importance of forest protection was brought to the atten­ tion of the secretary of agriculture by the forest service, and be in turn presented the matter to tho presi­ dent. • Cooperation in the observance of the week is expected from slate for­ HIGH SCHOOL NOTES esters, commercial and business or­ Friday afternoon Rev.
