The Evening Sun financial review today said: The stock market today degenerated for the most part into a professional scalping affair. Fluctuations, outside of a few stocks subject to special in fluences, were meaningless. The outstanding ifeiaturV.. if there was any, was the thin iDnying power, a natural development, in view of the tightness of the money market and the apprehension regarding taxation possibilities. Dealings throughout the late trading lacked significance and the market con tinned dull. United States Steel at 104 5-8 made a new low for the day at that figure was 1 points below Mon day's clostf. There was no new factor, large or smali, to influence the course of the prices. N. Berkeley, federal employment agtnt at Pendleton, states that last week he placed something over 100 farm workers, and fully 25 men a day are being placed in the harvest fields through the Pendleton agency. , Notice To The Public We wish to inform the public that we are running the Capital Garage Repair Shop and we guarantee all work to be satisfactory.

HERSCHBACH SON The Capital Garage 173 South Liberty Phone 88 I FARE IS BY COURT IN DECISION TODAY Supreme Court Affirms Legal ity of Action of Public . Service Commission Portland 's six -cent street car fare was upheld today by an opinion handed down, by the supreme court. , The opin ion was written by Justice Burnett. The court held that the power once possessed by the city of Portland to fix rates in franchises was given the city by the state, and since then it has been withdrawn by the sate and placed in the public service commission. As a consequence the commission has author ity to change the rates in a franchise and the question of impairment of a contract is noj involved. The decision affects every town or city iu the state which may he at tempting to hold public service utili ties to the rates fixed in their franch ises. In a synopsis of the court's decision, Justice Burnett says: "The contention of the city in tho main is that the franchise granted by its ordinance to the Portland Railway, Light & Power company constituted a contract between it and the company, the obligation of which coud not be im paired by the action of the'public ser vice commission. The court holds in substance that the city could not h;re granted such a franchise unless the pow er to do so had been delegated to it by the riuht to maintain tho railway in the city the municipality acted as a gov ernmental agency of the state and real ly entered into the arrangement on be half of the state; that the latter, hav ing delegated authority to the city and and inado an agent of the city for the purpose in question, could rightfully re voke that agency and establish another; that by the enactment of the public ser vice law it had created such a new agency in the form of the publie ser vie oinmission, giving it plenary pow er in all such matters. 'So far as it affects tho Portland charter, it is true that the constitution denies to tho legislative assembly the power to enact or amend any particular charter oy a special law, but, as held in tha case of Rose against tho Port of Portland, it is competent for that body to pass a general law which is para mount in authority over all city char ers, and this is what happened when it passed the general public service law which was approved by the people on tne referendum. "Tho case of the city is not aided by the fast that it sought to amend its charter by the initiative process after tho passage of the publie service legis lation so as to assume for itself within the territory substantially all tho pow ers of the publie service comnii3sion. Tho reason for this is that the light to fix fares and and freights is a branch of the state's legislative prerogative and is not merely a local issue affecting any particular city or town and that the initiative and referendum powers aro reserved to legal voters of cities and towns only as to local, special and mu nicipal legislation. The icntiro question of regulating publie service corporations in their charges for their services to the puulic is referable to the authority of the state on such Bubjeets. The wholo public, and not any local munici pality, is affected by this power and no city or town can so amend its charter as to arrogate to itself powers primari ly resident in the state, without the consent of the latter. Whatever may be said of the franchiso of tho com pany, whether it bo an agreement be tween contracting parties or a piece of legislation, it exists suhiect to the ever present police power of the state so to regulate it that iu its relation to the pub Kc the company shall render reasonable services and be entitled to a reasonable remuneration therefor. "The conclusion is that by the gener al law relating to public service cor porations the state had a right to, and did, in effect, withdraw from tho city of Portland the agency authorizing it to grant a franchise to, or enter into a con tract with the company for a five-cent fare, and appointed another agency, the public service commission, with full pow er to act for the state, and that to this new agency the company had amilied for a change in the agreement, with the result tnat the parties to the contract the company on one side and the state, represented by its public service com mission, on the other, mutually agreed to change thefranchise or contract so as to allow tha company to charge six cents instead of five. Without regard to what might be "aid if either party to the contract or franchise, without the consent of the other, should attempt to change it, cither by legislation or otherwise, the impairment of the obliga tion of the agreement is not involved. it is a case where those who made the contract had mutually agreed to its amendment."

Hearst Is Candidate For Primary Nomination Saratoga, N. Y., July 23. William Randolph Hearst, New York publisher, reiterated today through his represent ative, Lawrence J. O'Reilly, that he is in the lace for the democratic nomina tion for governor. This wa3 stated to day aa democats prepared to open their state convention here. A canvass of delegates from the up state counties showed only one, Albany for tho New York publisher. The New York City delegation was almost solid'for Hearst, Both Mayor Harry C Walker ot Binghamton and Alfred E. Smith ot New York have many supporters Smith as yet had notj announced his inten tions. Many delegates believed James W. Gerard, former ambassador to Germany had been definitely removed from con sideration with the avowed intention of Hearst to run. William Church Osborn is still in the race, his managers declared, but his name will not be before the conven tion. Ho will depend on the primaries, without endorsement. Indications early today were that a plank would be inserted in- tho plat form calling for a referendum on tho question of ratifying tho federal pro hibition amendment. It also is probable there will .be a plank favoring either government or municipal ownership of public utilities. The upstate delegates will meet to night and endeavor to agree on somo man they aH will endorse. I .W. W, Recommended As Liquor Cure Chicago, July 23. The I. W.

Three automobile wheels and tires were stolen lust evening from machines at the Chautauqua grounds. Dr. E. E. Fisher reported to the police his loss.

Dr. Steiner, superintendent of the Oregon state hospital, reports that the earth beneath the big water tank at the asylum has ounk eight or 10 feet, and he was in today, to get the state engineer to make an investigation to see what should be done to protect the tank. It may be, he says, that the pump lias drained a lake about SO feet be neath the surface and that is tne cause of the earth's settling.
