Starts On
Linn County Books

Albany, April 19.-F. M. Red
field, pioneer auditor of city and
county books in Albany and Linn
county, began an audit of the
books of Linn county.
The recent decision Of the at
torney-general of Oregon by
which warrants of Linn county
were declared void, caused the
county court to order an audit,
which will give definite informa-
tion regarding the status of the
county's finances.
A recent recapitulation of fig
ures made up by Mr.. Redfield for
the county showed that the coun-
ty had issued warrants for 1919
and 1920 amounting to about
$266,000 in excess of the lawful
amount of indebtedness for Linn
county.
To determine just what war
rants are void for the years 1919
and for 1920, a more detailed au-
dit will have to be made. This is
the task Mr.. Redfield is now un-
dertaking. County Clerk Russell
thought the work would require
at least a week for completion.

Elections, Rule

In elections affecting the af-
fairs of districts of Tess than a
county the county authorities Of
ficiate rather than the state au-
thorities, according to an opin-
ion prepared by Attorney Gener-
al Vim Wrinkle for the informa-
ton of Walter H. Evans, district
attorney for Multnomah county.
The opinion bears more specific
ally upon an election affecting
the appointment of members OF
the Port of Portland which Is up
before the voters Of the port dis
trict on June 7. In this case 1t IS
held, the ballot title must be pre-
pared by the district attorney
and the result shall be announced
by the county judge. Petitions re-
ferring district affairs to VoIe
of the people must be filed with
the county clerk instead of the
of state, the opinion
holds.

hack on the seat his foot slipped
and he fell in front Of the discs.
He grabbed hold of the connect
ing bars and thus prevented the
harrow from passing over MS
body. The motion of the machine
forced the revolving blades to run
upon his legs, however, and he
remained in this position, cling
ing to the bars, until the harrow
crossed a depression, t'ro"ins

was relieved from his terribly
perilous predicament, but not un-
til his legs and feet were terribly
bruised and cut. Enners drew

ed in stopping its molten.
Ernest Zielsch, who was opera
ting a tractor in an adjoining
field assisted the injured man to
his automobile and he was
brought to this city where DR..
Butler dressed the wounds. His
right leg was almost a solid mass
of cuts, and his whole body was
bruised and cut, but 10 bones
were broken. 1t will be long

work.

Price of Fair
Board Too High
Say Auto Men

That $2250 is an exorbitant
price to pay for the use Of the
pavilion at the fair grounds in
which to give an automobile show
during the state fair next Septem-
Der, was the sentiment expressed
by every one present at the meet
ing of the Salem Automobile Deal
ers association last night in the
Commercial club, and unless the
board comes down in its price this
fall, the Salem organization will
have nothing to do with the auto
mobile show Of the fair.
Last year the Salem dealers bore
the brunt of the expense and work
in getting up an attractive show,
and besides the price paid for the
building spent 500 in recorating
it. Attempts were made to inter
est Portland dealers but were met
largely without success. President
George Wick appointed a commit
tee consisting of F. G. Delano, L.
M. Miller and II. T. Bonesteel, to
call on the Portland Dealers asso-
citation and tell them OF the deter
mination reached by this associa-
tion.
Secretary Gilbert was instructed
last night to draw up resolution
to be presented at the next meet
ing whereby the bylaws of the or
gaEization will be changed reduc-
ing the annual dues to five dollars
There was some discussion as to
whether the organization should
extend its membership to include
tire, garage and accessory men. 1t
was not certain what the attitude
OF the state association is toward
these men, and it was decided to
first have Homer Ross of McMinn-
vile, president of the State Deal
ers association, discuss the matter
before them previous to any action
being taken.

/ Shaw, Tomlinson intimated that a
reduction in the wages Of employees
of the company might be justified
in bringing about in reduction
of telephone rates.
"Do you think that the wages Of
operators and phone employees
should be reduced" Shaw demand
ed, interruptiDg Tomlinson in the
course of his remarks.
THAT is a question that has 10
be looked into" Tomlinson replied.
THAT may be the result of this re-
adjustment that has got to be
made. We have got to get at a
basis whereby the utility can op-
crate and give service to the peo-
pie"
other attorneys appearing in
the interest of a rehearing were
John Gavin Of The Dalles, E. P.
Morton Of Woodburn and Ray -.
Smith of Salem.
In its answer to the petition the
telephone company declares that
the case is closed and not subject
to a rehearing, and that the allie
cations and statements set out in
such petition are not sufficient to
warrant granting a rehearing.
None of the petitioners had com
piled with the rules Of the com
mission in presenting their claims,
Shaw declared and no facts had
been stated which would justify
reopenlng Of the rate case.
Replying to the statements of
McNary, Shaw pointed out that
the hotels and other private
branch exchange patrons who
were so hard hit by the recent in
crease had entirely escaped in the
three previous rate increases
granted by the Oregon commission.
Appearing with Shaw in behalf
Of the company were Fl. D.. Pills
bury Of San Francisco, vice-presi-
dent and general attorney for the
company, and Homer c. Spender OF
the firm Of Carey & Kerr, Port
land.
The question Of reOpening the.
case has been taken under advise
ment for decision at later date.
In the event a rehearing is grant
ed representatives of both sides
will be called in for another con
ference at which date for the
hearing will he agreed upon.

Phone Company Threatens
Increase In Capital Of Rate
Rehearing Petition Granted
Reopening of the telephone rate

Reopening of the telephone rate
case may result in an increase Of
several million dollars in the yalu-
alton OF the property Of the Paci-
fic Telephone & Telegraph com
pany in Oregon, according to Jas.
T. Shaw of San Francisco, attorney
for the company, who appeared
before the public service commits
sion this afternoon to contest the
arguments of the petitioners for
rehearing of the facts upon which
the commission based its order Of
February 18 granting to the com
pany increased rates TO its Oregon
patrons.
The company has no objection 90
a rehearing of the rate case, in fact
would welcome another chance to
present its claims for more equit-
able valuation of its properties for
rate making purposes but strenu-
ously objects to any attempt to-
ward suspension Of the present
rates pending the completion Of
such rehearing, according to
Shaw, who challenged the author
ity of the commission to suspend
the present rates which have now
been in effect for more than thirty
days.
The physical valuation Of the
company's properties in Oregon for
rate making purposes which have
been fixed at approximately six
teen million dollars by the Oregon
commission should be raised to ap-
proximately s25, 100000 with a
corresponding increase in the rea-
aJnable returns to the company,
Shaw contended.
The petition for a rehearing Of
the rate case was presented by
Frank M. Grant, city attorney for
Portland, who explained that he
represented not only the city of
Portland but practically every one
of the principal cities In Oregon in
asking for a reopening of the tele-
phone case.
Lawrence A. McNary of Port
land, representing the Oregon
Hotel Mems association with 40I
hotels in Portland 25 outside Of
Portland, presented separate pc
tition for rehearing Of the rate
case. The hotels, he declared, had |
been peculiarly injured by the re-
cent rate order which had in
creased rates all the way from 70
per cent to 225 per cent.
Edward NJ. Cousins, Portland
attorney representing telephone
users Of Benton, Polk, Linn and
Lane counties Appeared before the
commission and,was granted per-
mission to file a separate petition
later.
II. M. Tomlinson, assistant city
attorney tor Portland, in closing
the case for the petitioners, insist
ed that the present rates with
prices generally on the decline,
was a most in opportune time TO
establish such schedule OF rates
as is represented in the order un-
der attack and which must be re-
garded as pace setter in future
rate cases.
