Increased Phone
Rates Turned Down

/ After far-reaching investigation by
the Oregon public service commits
sion and a large force of experts,
extending over period of five
months and marked by stormy hear
ings in the city Of Portland, the COM
mission Saturday issued an order re-
fuslng to allow the application of the
Pacific Telephone G Telegraph COM
pany for a general increase of 27
per cent In the telephone exchange
rates on the company's lines in Ore
gon. The commission takes the po-
sltion that to grant the general re-
vision sought in the company's APP
plication would place an unwarrant-
ed burden upon the telephone users.
Except at four points, no increase
is allowed in residence telephone
rates. To help the telephone COM
pany meet wage increases and other
abnormal expenses, a temporary
modification is made in the rates
for business service. Importantly
among the rulings of the order is the
clause permitting persons, who de-
sire to change from desk to wall.
phones, to do 40 at any time within
80 days of the effective date of the
order without extra charge. After
80 days a charge of 81 will be made.
The order is effective May 1.

temporary one for one year, at the

KAHN POINTS
WAY TO ESCAPE
HEAVY TAXES
California Congressman Says
People Must Cooperate
With Government

Congressman julius Kahn OF Call.
fornla, senior member OF the Military
Affairs Committee of the House, in q
signed statement given out at Wash
lngton, reviews briefly some OF the
problems confronting the government
in postwar finance and urges the
country to help congress hold down
taxes. He said:
How Is the United States going to
( pay her war debts which are now be-
ginning to flood the nations treasury?
The outflow of public funds today is al
most on a par with the expenditures
made while the war was raging. Al
though there are no more munitions or
implements of war to be purchased,
the engines of destruction which Amer
ican factories created to bring about
the downfall of the imperial govern
ment OF Germany have not all been
paid for. Then there are the heavy
expenditures incident to readjusting
the world from a war to peace basis.
Reconstruction Cost Heavy.
ut Is no news to students Of history
to be told that the expenses OF post
war reconstruction have always been
as great and many times greater than
the actual war outlay. Food must be
shipped to our boys who are still on
foreign soil. Money must be raised
to further projects having to do with
fitting these noble heroes OF ours with
suitable occupations Those who have
been malmed must not be made to
come into competition with the sound.
where is the money to come from?
The people themselves, although they
lent patriotic and wholehearted sup
port to the governments war program
and made unprecedented sacrifices,
keenly felt the effect of the taxes I'M
posed in the revenue bill such as they
had never faced before and would have
not submitted to except in view OF ex-
traordinary circumstances. Now that
the war Is over we must find some
way of raising money to finance the
various necessary projects confronting
the nation.
People Must Cooperate.
The people must cooperate. and they
can cooperate without paying heavy
taxes. They can continue to invest in
War Savings Stamps, Liberty Bonds
and other government securities, and
help the government by helping them.
selves.
"The government offers It's citizens a
two.fold proposition, mutually helpful.
Funds can be raised to help the gov
ernment meet Its obligations, by the
patriotic cooperation Of the people,
who are at the same time making as
safe an investment as can be made
in securities, backed by tho most stable
business on earth, that OF Uncle Sam

State Collects Big
Auto Fees in April

SALEM, Ore.-Fees received by
the state motor vehicle registration
department for April total $4,000
more than for April, 1918, according
to tabulations prepared by Deputy
Secretary Of State. Sam A. Kozer.
The total received for last month was
SAB, 1929, as against $37,S19 for April
I191S. All this money except that
apportioned for administrative costs
goes into the state highway fund.
Some idea of the magnitude Of
the automobile registration business
is gained in a comparative statement
of fees during the past five years
In April, 1914, the department re-
ceived but $7511 for this class Of
business. For the first four months
of the present year the fees for motor
vehicle registration have exceeded
those received during the first four
months of last year by more than
100000. Up to April 80 this year
the receipts amounted to $47S,945.
For the first four months of last
year the total receipts were $S74,551.
The report shows there we're 1914
motor vehicles registered last month.
OF this number 3467 were new regis
trations for new machines. The to-
tai motor vehicle registration so far
this year is 65,159.

Accidental Funds
to be Set Aside

As the result of the amendment to
the workmen's comptnsation law, the
state Industrial accident commission
is now undertaking the task of re-
computing the reserves that make up
the segregated accident fund. This
fund now totals s1,757,427S9 and
comprises the sums set aside to care
for all future payments to dependents
in fatal cases, and to workmen who
are permanently disabled.
The compensation law provides
that where an award Is made to
widow in a fatal case, the commits
sion shall ascertain the amount re-
quired to equal, at 4 per cent inter-
est per annum, the present worth OF
the monthly installments payable in
the future. These reserves are based
upon the expectation of life of the
beneflciaries according to the Ameri-
can Mortality Table.
The commission notifies the state
treasurer of the amount needed in
each case, and the latter transfers
the amount to the segregated fund.
The state treasurer then invests these
