ROAD OPEN MAY |,
TRIP Is PLANNED

According to present plans. the Co.
lumbia river highway will be open for
traffic between Portland and this city
by May ]. After a telephone CONVEX
sation with John B. Yeon, roadmaster
of Multnomah county, who stated that
the Multnomah portion of the route
could be cleared by the date agreed
upon. County Judge Stanton has con-
ferred by telephone with w. d. Trot-
ter, road supervisor of road district No.
l. the latter having advised Judge
Stanton that his portion Of the highway
between Cascade Locks ami the Multi
nomah line can be made passable by
May l.
The plans, however, according to
Judge Stanton. may be upset by a con.
tinued rainfall in the Cascade Locks
district. The roadbed there is for
numerous stretches made of soft earth,
and motorists will find it difficult to
negotiate in case it is soaked with
heavy rain.
Just as soon as the entire distance
can be traversed battery Of local au.
tomobiles, loaded with business men Of
the city. will 60 on a junketing trip to
Portland. if plan adopted at the insti-
agtion of Henry Serr, of the Hote Ore.
gon is carried out.

The COST OF DUPLICATION

The average man. without thinking
long enough. leaps to the conclusion
that public utility competition always
results in lower rates to the consumer.
for he has heard that competition is
the life of trade" So it is, but it Of.
ten operates adversely in the amtter Of
public utilities. where it has no place,
because they are natural monopolies.
Here's case in hand: In Minneap-
oils one private company controls and
produces the electric current. The
basing rate to the consumer is 8.5
cents. In st. Paul there are two com.
panies. The basing rate to the con-
sumer is 80 cents.
What's the answer? Users of elec-
trical current in st. Paul, of course,
have to pay for the duplication of in
vestment in the two competing CON-
panies. In Minneapolis concentration
in one company results in lower over
head charges. more economical opera
ton and larger consumption. The st.
Paul companies declare their combined
business is not more than half that of
the single company, and that the higher
rate, which they are forced to main.
tain, serves to keep down their total
output.
Says the Minneapolis Journal, one of
the great dailies of the country:
"The difference between between 9.9
cents in st. Paul and 8.5 cents or less
in Minneapolis represents the cost to
st. Paul Of competition in a natural
monopoly. 1t is a great handicap to
st. Paul. But both cities are carrying
quite as heavy and unnecessary ham
dicap by reason Of competition in tele-
phone service"
And yet your professional sgitator
will try to make out that competing
municipal ownership plant does not im-
pose extra costs Of operation on the
consumers. Paid adv.
