are accomplishing more day by
day and getting along better than
before the conflict started.
An example of this is seen in the
successful campaign which is now
being conducted throughout the
country for the elimination OF
waste in the matter of unnecessary
personal service in retail stores.
Statistics show that there are, at
least, 100000 men in the United
States engaged in the delivery of
dry goods, groceries and other re-
tail commodities. For nearly
every man there is either team
or an automobile. AT an estimated
expense Of $40 a day per each man,
the cost of this personal service to-
tails $600,000000 year.
1t is not to be presumed that it
would be wise to eliminate this serv-
ice. 1t is business necessity and
its elimination would foster business

REFUSE TO increase
STREET GAR Fares
Portland Car Fares Increased
As to Tickets and for
School Children

The Public Service Commission this
morning made N order in the matter
of the application of the Portland Rail-
way, Light & Power company for in
crease in its street car rates in Port
land from five to six cents.
1t sets aside the dispute of jurisdic-
tion, holding that the statute of 1901
fixing the rates in cities of over 10000
population at 5 cents is repealed by
implication by the Public Utility act of
1911, and that the commission has full
power to act.
The commission but recently determ-
ined the value of the operating proper
ties of the company for rate making
purposes, at $1S,23,37155.
1t finds that the returns are made
quate and not sufficient to be a fair
return on the capital invested.
1t finds that the service now af-
forded is in excess of that required to
reasonably meet the demands of the
traffic handled.
1t finds that the rates charged and
collected for unlimited ticket books
and school children's limited tickets
are unjust, unreasonable and made
quate, the former being 1925 for a
book of so tickets, while books for chill
dren attending public, private and
Sunday schools are sold 33 tickets for
$1.0O.
1t finds that just and reasonable
rates for the utility to charge in lieu
of present rates is for unlimited tickets,
5 cents each.
Limited school children's tickets, A
cents each.
with these findings. At the same time
the matter is ordered kept open, and
that the utility make a monthly report,
covering its railway operations togeth-
er with information as to any action
which may have been taken subsequent
to the date of this order with reference
to the curtailment of service or other
measures of economy including those
suggested by the commission.
The commission frankly states it
entertains no sanguine hopes as to the
possibility of escaping an increase in
fares unless the heartiest cooperation
is dIIOTueu tH6 uIlIlly ny Inc puullC.
From this it would seem the matter is
perhaps settled but temporarily, and
that an increase of rates, is not only
possible but probable. This is a. ma.
jority decision by the commission, be-
ing signed by Commissioners Miller and
Buchtel; Commissioner Corey reaches a
different conclusion so did not sign the
order.
He finds the average haul of the
utility is four and half miles, or less
than a cent and a half mile, and
while doubling the benefits to be re-
ceived by six cent fare he believes
however a new rate should be given a
trial. A reduction of service and an
increase of fares would perhaps bring
back the jitneys and so defeat the OBJ
ject in raising fares.
He holds the burden. should be equal
ly divided among patrons, that labOrers
should be given a rate of 50 tickets in
one month for $3.50, with rebates for
unused tickets.
He recommends 6 rides for 35 cents,
retaining the present school children IS
tickets, and that these rates be given
six months trial. He believes the in
creased rates should be allowed

Silver Gray Fox Fur
Is Scarce and High

About the easiest way for lady
who happens to have too much spend
ing money is to become ambitious to
wear furs of the silver gray fox There
happens to be mighty few of such ami
mails in the world and naturally, the
fewer there are, the higher goes the
price.
According to the West Fur company,
217 South High street, the fur of sill
yer gray fox is easily worth from $500
to $3.50. After the silver gray comes
the red fox furs and the cross fox furs,
really as servieable as the silver gray,
only there happens to be more of them.
Hence the price falls down about two
thirds to three fourths.
Even expert buyers who know all
about furs and the lady who also knows
it all, and the buyers too, all these
people acknowledge that in buying furs
there is a lot of chance and that the
main reliance is not SO much in the
appearance of the furs, as in the hon
esty of the man who sells the furs.
In this respect, Salem offers home
people the assurance that the furs are
not only shipped direct from Alaska,
but are the genuine article, besides
being sold at a most reasonable figure.
Buying furs in the big cities is pret-
ty uncertain proposition.
George D. Alderin; manager of the
West Fur company, is an experienced
taxidermist, and reliable judge of
furs

Miners Get More Wages;
Public Pay Higher Price

Washington, Oct. SAN increase of
35 to so cents per ton in the price of
soft coal to the public is the meaning
of wage increase of about 80 per cent
granted bituminous miners lately. The
agreement as finally reported this after
noon, following conferences which be-
gan on September 25, provides for an
increase of ten cents per ton to pick
and machine miners; $1.40 a day ad-
vance for day laborers and Is per cent
increase for dead work, yardage and
room turning.
The agreement when ratified by the
miners convention in Indianapolis next
January, will be effective for the dur
alton of the war, provided it does not
last more than two years. However,
the rise in wages is effective immed-
lately and affects upwards of 100000
soft coal miners throughout the country.

Columbia River Lumber
Schooner Not Captured

San Francisco, Oct. 5.-The schoon,
er W. Fl. Marston, carrying lumber
from the Columbia river, has not been
captured as was believed early today,
but has doeked at Melbourne, Austria
liza, according to cables received this
afternoon. The snip has been delayed
by rough weather.
Dozens of small, slow sailing craft,
bound for or out of Pacific coast ports
are within few days sailing of the
spot where the Manila, Slade and JoEq-
son were destroyed.
1t is now believed in shipping circles
that marine insurance companies may
demand an extra war risk premium.
At local shipping company offices to-
day plans were laid for the safety of
Pacific coast vessels. The ships will
run without lights at night and it has
been suggested that the boats be armed.

Wall Street Market
Very Erratic Today

New York, Oct 5.--The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
The stock market today pursued de-
eidedly erratic course during the great
or part of the day. 1t was alternately
weak and strong and at no time did
quotations move uniformly in one
direction. Price changes were the re-
suit not of anything in the way of
news developments but on conditions
within the market itself. Professional
pressure on the list was heavy on var
ious occasions and effective in sending
prices lower, but, taken as whole, the
market displayed better resistance to
bear hammering than at any time this
week.
Prices have fallen to levels requiring
less courage to make commitments for
the long account, but brokers reported
that demand for stocks continued to
come chiefly from short interests.

stagnation. However, if this service
were cut in two by the practice OF
economy on the part of the pur-
chaser, it would release 100000 men
for the army or work in other in
dustries and absorb a waste of
100000 day.
Many retail establishments are do
ing what they can to cooperate with
the Commercial Economy board in
Washington to cut down the wastage
of man-power and money in super-
fluous personal service to customers.
Statistics given us in this connec-
ton estimate that the total income
of the American people is $5O,0OO,-
100000 a year, of which $l0,000,000.-
600 borders on fancy living and $l0,-
000000,000 more is said to be sheer
waste through such things as the
Commercial Economy board is deal
ing with, including the returned loaf
of stale bread, the superhuous mer-
chandise delivery, and so forth.
A great deal of this $l0,000,000,-
900 a year can be saved by careful
practices on the part of each OF us,
without injuring general business.
In studying the methods of econ
ony. we must always bear in mind
that they are to be directed against
waste only. Injury can be done gen.
eral business through the practices
of misguided thrift-the elimination
of expenditures along legitimate
lines. But when waste of any kind
is eliminated we are indulging in con-
structive patriotism.
