The theory is to prevent duplication of Public utilities and competition PRACTICALLY, IT MEANS PERPETUAL MONOP- Y TO EXISTING COMPANIES AND THE DEATH, MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP. x | But, be that as it may, Senate Bill 301 not an * bill CLUDES FROM ITS OPERA = COMPANIES That is to say, a telephone company may be started with is even a “certificate of necessity.” Rumor has it that Samuel Bill, the millionaire telephone promoter who is bucking the Ht telephone trust in Portland, succeeded in getting this cemption. 4 Now, Mr. Governor, if there is anything at all to the theory that there ought to be no duplication of service or com- petition in public utilities, certainly that theory applies first and foremost to telephone service. It is far more expensive for the public generally to have two telephone systems in a Community than to have two electric light plants. To ob- dequate service, both telephones would have to be in- " stalled, while the public can get along by patronizing one or id other electric company.
