Commission Cannot
Regulate Price Of
Gasoline = Brown

Without additional legislation to
that end the oregon public service
commission is powerless to regulate the
price or distribution of gasoline, ac-
cordiRS to Attorney General Brown,
who in an opinion rendered today
holds that gs...llro is not . pubic util-
ity within the meaning of the public
utility act as 1t now s,ands. The opin-
iOn was written in response to an in
quiry from the commission as to its
jurisdiction in the present gasoline
emergency
You have no more power as a com
mission to regulate the price of gaso-
line than you have to regulate the
price or distribution Of wood or coal y
the opinions reads You have no
power to fix the distribution or alot-
ment to the public, nor to regulate the
price or distribution of coal to the pub
&c utilities of oregon, nor have you
any more or greater authority or pow
er to distribute or make the rules for
the distribution Of gasoline.
I'VE cannot enlarge the meaning of
the law by construction or by interpre-
tation for the purpose Of meeting the
situation as ii exists today The fltu-
alton may present a proper matter for
legislation but not fit subject for the
enforcement of the public utility la~
as it now exists. Until a law exists
thcrc can be no enforcement thereof"
