FROM THE PEOPLE

Salem, Jan. 81, 1917.

1aACAlli SeAii' - 49, =
Editor East Oregonlan;
May correct your misapprehen-
sion as to the result th@ would fol-
low from the adoption Of the pro-
posed Public Necessity and Convent
ence amendment to the Public Util-
ity Law?
Cities and towns would not be de-
prived Of the right to public owner
ship by this amendment, and it spe-
officially exempts municipalities, as
well as mutual and farmer telephone
companies,
With the exception it does not in
clude municipalities, it is identical
with the one placed in the Wisconsin
statutes in 1907 by the Honorable
Robert NJ. La Toilette, and has since
been adopted by "a of the more pro-
gressive states in the Union, Surely
! you do not consider Mr.. la Toilette
tool of corporations
1t is a significant fact that in those
states that have this certificate OF
Public Necessity and Convenience pro-
vision in their utility laws, we find
the lower rates charged the consum-
er. To obtain similar result in
Oregon is my reason for urging the
, amendment.
Manifestly, a utility has no vested
right to its monopoly. 1t must meet
competition whenever, for any rea-
son. public good will be thereby pro
NOTED. If the utility in any case
cannot meet the reasonable demands
Of the public for service and some
other utility can, then such other
utility must be permitted to enter the
field under he provision of the am
cndment.
AS the courts throughout the land
have held that the rates must be such
as to pay fair return upon the in
vestment by the utility why permit
duplication of investment when not
ne cessary? Why permit unsightly du-
plication of poles and wires in our
streets, as well as the digging up OF
our improved streets for placing and
repairing new water pipes, gas pipes,
wire cables. etc, when the present
company can be made to serve the
public adequately and at reasonable
rates?
Further you have apparently over
looked the fact that the right to ap-
peal to the courts by party interest
ed or by any citizen from any de-
cision Of this commission is provided
for by law.
The adoption Of the amendmen.
will go a long way toward placing
Oregon on an equal footing with Ida
no. California, Colorado and Arizona
in the attraction of investments in our
utility plants and secure the develop
ment Of parts Of Oregon that now lie
dormant
Yours very respectfully

NORTH DAKOTA'S SAD
CASE

~O the devoted suffraglstss
VI who persist these coid
DAYS in picketing the
White House gates the folly OF
the women of North Dakota
must appear almost criminal.
They have tamely accepted at
the hands of the state leglsla'
tur the right to vote for all ex-
cept constitutional Offices:
After July / next they Will
vote. on the same terms as the
women Of Illinois, for local Of
f;cials. for representatives and
United States senators and for
presidential electors. Only ten
weeks ago North Dakota re-
iected a woman suffrage am
endment to the state constitu-
ton. Now it has enfranchised
nearly 10000 women by legls
lative act, and they submit to
it.
If the women of North Da-
kota were worthy of the cause,
they would not tolerate the
outrage. If they were awake
to the glories of martyrdOm,
they would hurl back in the
face of the state legislature
and Gov. Frazier the new pri-
vilege acquired at the hands of
{ mere state. The noble ex-
ample of the leaders of the
Congressional Union has been
in vain.-New York World.

THE CONVENIENCE WILL
ALL BE ON ONE SIDE

~ N another column today the
East Oregonian publishes
a letter from H. H. Corey
relating to the proposed ne
cessity and convenience am
endment NOW before the legis-
iature. Mr.. Corey's letter and
the wording of the senate bill
No. 165 show that the amend
ment was evidently subjected
TO a radical change after first
being brought up for discus
sion. Did criticism bring about
d change in plans?
AS reported by the Portland
papers the bill as originally
planned covered municipalities
IS well as private utility plants.
AS introduced in the senate
Jan. 26 the bill does not include
municipal plants at all. The
1uil wording to the bill, S. B.
