STATE HOUSE NEWS

The Portland Railway, Light 4 Power
company has today filed with the pub
lie service commission volumlnous
statement Of valuations, receipts and
expenditures as the basis for a petition
for an increase of revenues within the
city of Portland. This statement shows
that the valuation of all their proper
ties in Portland, as fixed by the com
mission itself, is $ls,568, ,073.55, and the
summary of statistics goes to show that
the net earnings of the system during
the current year will be approximately
1892 900. or about per cent on their
valuation. The petition goes ON to cite
that during the year 1918 the wage scale
of employees was raised to range from
46 to so cents an hour ;and that dur
ing the present season the national war
board had granted another increase to
employees of about II per cent. This it
is estimated will add not less than
$3.50 900 to the operating expenses for
the year. While there has been no
great increase in traffic, il is shown
that there has been a tremendous in
crease of operating expense. In the
year, 1915, the operating expenses in
Portland amounted to $l,707,9l2.35,
while for the twelve months ending
June 30, 1919, they aggregated SS,ii7,-
79119. While the company names no
specific rate or increase in their pcti-
tion, they call attention to the fact that
the present fares are unjust and made
quate, and they petition for such an in
crease of revenue US viii produce a re-
turn Of not less than 7 per cent on their
valuations To this end they ask for
an immediate hearing and investigation
in Portland.

Ouimet Refuses to Stop Playing Golf
 As Doctor Ordered

New York. Oct, p - Keeping a squirrel on the ground, reputed to be a matter of some difficulty, is no more strenuous undertaking than keeping Francis Outmet of the golf links, In spite of orders from his physician to lay aside his bag of clubs Immediately after his return from the National championship, the Bos- ton star insists on bobbing up here and there in the midst of a tourna- ment Though unable to take part in the Lesley Cup matches here, he couldn't resist the temptation to take hand in the closing tournament of the Hub district a few days ago.

PAL MOORE SIGNED
 TO TACKLE JOHNSON

New York, Oct. 22-Pal Moore of Memphis and Patsy Johnson of Trenton were matched yesterday to ooX eight rounds in Jersey City on Oct. 31. They were signed by Dave DIiscon, manager of the Arena, to take part in an aII-star show. Charley White of Chicago and Mel Coogan also were signed. and it was an- nounced that a bout between Ted tkid) Lewis and Johnny Grifffths --ould be clinched today.
 Augie Rather is in somewhat of a Qauandry. Rather was one of the men who was scheduled to appear at the Arena last Monday night but an injured eye prevented him from going through with this enga cement Before he received his injury, Phil Bernstein, his manager. had signed Rather to box Soldier Bartfield on Nov. 4 at the Newark SpOrtsmen's club,
 Now Dave DriscoII wants Rather to box at his club on Oct. 31, and Dave Mackaye of the Newark Sportsmen's club holds that he has a clause ill his contract with Rather which prevents him from taking part in any matches for ten days previous to his bout with Bartie2d, Bernstein made the fol- lowing statement yesterday:
 T want to be fair to both clubs, but it is physically impossible to carry out the wishes of both to the letter. I don't know what to do, so I've put the whole thing up to the Boxing Commission of New Jersey I'll do as I'm instructed by the Commission

ably be either Joe Lynch or Pal Moore. The Britisher gained ques- tionable decisions over both of these boxers in bouts in England.
 Wilde's coming to this country re- calls to mind some of the great little men John Bull has sent us in the past. England has been bloom CT" in the development of big men but her bantams, feathers, and light weights have proven quite a formid- able lot.
 Pedlar Palmer and Ben Jordan were the first of the comparatively modern ring stars to represent Great Britain in the United States. AL though their trips were marred by humiliating defeats they were, nev- ertheless, remarkably clever men and gave some s.erling demonstrations of the their class. Palmer first came here in '96 when he fought the wonderful George Dixon then fea- therweight champion, six round draw in New York. THree years la ter Pedlar came here again to prove his right to the bantam championship of the world. However he ran afoul of Terrible Terry McGovern, then making his rapid climb to the top. Palmer lasted less than round with Terry. After the McGovern disaster Palmer sailed for England and nev- CT returned to these shores.
 Jordan, a remarkably skillful box CT came over here and won the feath- erweight title from George Dixon af-
 
 tie. He came back to this country a year later and lost the title he had won from 'LiI Chocolate to Eddie Santry of Chicago. Jordan had the battle with Santry well in hand up to the sixteenth when Ed die connected with a deadly hay maker and the Britisher went out. But Jordan was a fine little fighting man for all that
 Owen Moran was one of the best little Englishmen that ever touched these shores. He gained the distinc- ton of being the first man to actu- ally knock out Nelson, the Durable Dane, feat that had baffled our hardest hitters including Cans, Mc- Govern, Young Corbett and Aurelia Herrera. Moran mingled with our best and always gave a good account of himself. He fought Abe Attel1 two long drawn battles and whipped Eddie Hanlon and Frankie Neil. Owen made a determined effort to wrest the lightweight title from Ad Wolgast but the Michigan Wildcat whipped him in thirteen bitter rounds. Moran fell a victim to his own loose habits of living.
 Jim Driscoll was the most skillful ringman that ever represented Eng land in this country. In addition he was a perfect gentleman with a manner which made him popular where ever he went. His best per- formance was with our own wizard Abe Attell. The two met in a ten round bout in New York and Dris- coll made the clever Abe look fool ish. Atten, the master-boxer actu- ally floundered to his knees in a vain endeavor to land on the shifty Britisher. If Jimmy Wilde is as for midable as Driscol was and they say he is, there is trouble ahead for somebody!

Where the Blame Lies.

Three months ago the Republican lead
ers in Congress were calling upon heav-
en- and earth to witness that nothing
stood in the way of the immediate en-
actment Of all necessary reconstruction
legislation except the obstinate refusal
Of President Wilson to. convene Con-
gress in special session.
Thereupon the President; convened
Congress. 1t met May 10 and mas been
I II ssssion ever since .a ThG costzys has
practically nothing to show In the way
Of reconstruction except the return Of
the telephone and telegraph systems,
which was forced by the President him
self.
Nothing has been done to meet the
critical situation created by the stead
iiy increased cost of living. Nothing
has been done in the way of legislation
TO return the railroads. Nothing has
been done with the reclamation bills.
Nothing has been done in the way of
army reorganization, and the aviation
service has been wrecked. The Ship
ping Bill is still in committee.
Every problem that has come out Of
the war is still unsolved. and only the
insistence of the President himself has
kept the House in session to deal with
the demands of the railroad brother
hoods that they must have new wage
increases in the fall unless the cost of
living in reduced. The one thing that
Congress has been eager to do, and the
only thing, is 10 pass the legislation
framed by the Anti-Saloon League lob.
by for the enforcement of Prohibition.
The blame rests primarily upon
the Republican leaders of the Senate,
who have blocked everything in the
way Of reconstruction while they
