The Journal is in receipt of a let
ter from Marcus ". Robbins, an at
torney at law in Los Angeles request
ing publicity for William E Borah
for president The letter is as follows:
When it comes to the government
OF the United States, you and I and
all the other fellow American citizens
wish to do the right thing. the square
thing, but we undoubtedly have not
done so. We wish to have country
prosperous, contented and free from
shopping bureaucracy. Yet our gov
ernment no longer functions as a gov
ernment for the people or for the in
terests Of the many. but rather it is
frankly for the interests of the selfish
few. You and I get what we deserve.
The stream cannot rise higher thar
its source.
1t is time that we should awake Z
our dangers. Liberties are lost;
wrong is triumphant; and it is as pos
sible for a nation to go tumbling to
ruin now as well as two thousand
years ago. Let US forget our base
ball. our movies. our money sruhbin-
at least for an instant, and devore
some Of our energies to saving our
country and by that means saving
ourselves.
We shall need leader for this
work. tireless. unassuming, with Isl
dom. one who can carry a banner OF
progress around which we can rally
and from whose bravery and sblu
we can receive encouragement and
inspiration. Too often our leaders
have been given TO as by foxy-faced
gentlemen sitting in back parlors of
the market place and we have eheered
them 10 the echo. Let as put these
days behind u.s. Let us arise in our

METHODIST CHURCH NOTES

The Sunday school attendance was
very good last Sunday but we are
expecting a larger number present on
next Sunday. We sometimes Think
that people do not understand tie
greatness Of the Sunday school for
if they did they would honor it with
their presence oftener.
The Christmas exercises given on
Christmas eve were splendid The
little people gave an entertainment in
remembrance of the birth Of Christ
that viii long be remembered by those
in attendance The church was tastily
decorated and the program committee
had worked faithfully TO make the
occasion the success that it was. The
room was filled with friends OF the
church and all had nothing but praise
for the manner in which the program
was carried out.
The Sunday morning service next
Sunday VIII be a New Years service
and the subject for the evening serv-
ice viii be: The 8Iightiest Work
The Epworth League has been do
ing excellent work during the fail ana
winter months and we are looking
forward TO a continuance OF this
work.

Position.
The Public Utilities Commission
has handed down it's decision in the
case Of the Idaho Power company
finding that the value of it's physical
property on which it is entitled to
earn money is s11,sss, ,45s.s0. OF this
amount they are allowed TO earn only
partial returns on s1.542.os5.so.
Three weeks ago in discussing this
phase OF the matter the Journal said
valuation Of s1s.00o.Oo0 would be
a just figure so the Public Utilities
Commission figure is less than the
Journal It also said the cry Of the
Power company that it was entitled
to a fair return on the money in
vested was d fallacy and that it was
only so entitled if with economical
management it could earn the return
The commission takes the same view
point
The Journal holds no brief for the.
Power company which is amply able
TO take care of itself but it does Dis
agree with the commission in sever
Of its findings and If the conclusion
OF the Journal is correct the vaIua-
ton figures it gave are more nearly
equitable.
The commission lays down as a
basis the following conclusions:
Ca-) Exclusion from the rate earn
ing value the value OF nonuseful or
non-operative property.
Cb) Elimination Of the cost of OBJ
tanning money as an element of ex-
pense in building a utility.
(c) Sharp pairing Of development
costs to eliminate capitalization Of
deficits incurred in struggling years,
inflated purchase prices and the ef-
feet of misleading percentages.
Id Allowance Of generous funds
for working capital
Ce) Elimination from the full re-
turn base OF property not capabls
Of earning a full return-such as ir-
rigation pumping equipmeno-bue yet
in the service OF the public and IA
vorable 10 the development Of the
state. Such property VIII be per-
mitted TO earn a partial return
At the outset. the commission de-
elared that the term value as used
in the decision means ~the number
OF dollars found to be fairly repre-
sented in the service concern Of the
utility upon which the utility is en-
titled TO earn And. by service con-
Germ is meant it adds. -au the els-
ments used and reasonably required
for the rendition OF service. inciud-
Ing as much excess capacity above
Immediate use as may fairly be re-
quirsd Tor the projection Of the pres
ent service and for meeting develop
ment demands
Through these definitions. the COM
mission made some of IT'S most ss-
we're siashes, finding the following
properties have no place IN the ~zery-
Zee concern by reason = being 4uon-

GASOLINE TAX
TODE TESTED IN
SUPREME COURT

Appeal OF the case involving
the constitutionality OF the gaso-
line tax act to the supreme court
is expected to follow the action
of Circuit Judge Bingham, Thurs
day afternoon. in sustaining the
demurrer filed by the Associated
Oil company to the complaint of
the city Of Portland. The action
OF Judge Bingham. which holds
that the complaint does not state
facts sufficient to constitute a
cause OF action, dismisses the suit
from the lower court and appeal
to the higher court is necessary
in order to bring the case to issue
ON its merits. A similar demurrer
filed In behalf of Secretary of
State Kozer who Is also made a
defendant In the suit brought by
the city of Portland was sustained
In an order issued some time ago.
In attacking the constitution
ality of the gasoline tax law the
city OF Portland alleges that the
state has no right to tax gasoline
used In municipality owned auto
mobiles and trucks and points
out that the motor vehicles OF the
city OF Portland which are re-
quired to pay this tax do not use
the state highways for the benefit
of which the tax Is assessed.
