Government TelegraphS and Telephones.
The following preamble and resolu-
tions offered by H. r. Legate, OF the Ne1O
Nation, were unanimously adopted by the
National Rsform Press Association at
the late session in Washington:
Whereas, The telegraph system Of the
United States is owned by q monopoly
which lays an inordinate tax upon the trans
mission Of intelligence in order to pay divi-
dends on stock, representating several times
the value Of the plant, thereby practically
debarring by extOrtionste rates all but the
wealthy from the use Of the telegraphS;
and
Whereas, The said monopoly on account
of the necessary dependence Of the news
paper press upon the telegraph service for
the collection Of news Is able, either directly
or indirectly, through press assOCiatiOn' ia
vored by il, to distOrt, color, or totally sup
press the news Of the day, and by refusal Of
service to disable and destroy journals op-
posed to its interests or TO those of kindred
monopOhes; and
Whereas, This exclusive control Of the
avenue Of information by which public
opinion is formed and directed, has been
and is being exercised in q manner imperil-
ing the existence Of q free press without
which popular government is impossible;
and
Whereas, The telegraph as an essential
instrument in the transmission Of intelh-
genoe, is properly an adjunct of the post
Office system and az such should be operated
by aud for the people through their govern
ment, and is in fact, and has long been, 80
regarded and 80 operated in every import
ant country Of the world except the United
States; and
Whereas, In view Of this fact the failure
Of congress to equip the postofaCe with
telegraphiC facilities is, by clear OonStruc-
tion, neglect of its duty under article 2,
section 8 of the fekeral constitution, "to Co.
tablish post offices and post roads," and,
moreover, inssmuch % the telephone is
merely an improved form of telegraph,
destined largely to supplant it as an inStru-
ment for the transmission of intelligence,
aRdas consequently every argument for the
naturalization Of the telegraph as an ad-
junOs Of the poStofice applies with equal or
greater force to the telephone; therefore
be il
Resolved, That the National Reform
Press Association hereby request the ma
tiOnal congress to enact q law whereby the
United States shall, on just terms, imme-
diately acquire the telegraph and telephone
lines Of the country, and henOeforth operate
them as adjunCts Of the pOstofiCe for the
service and benefit of all citizens on equal
terms at the lowest possible rates.
Resolved, That we earnestly appeal to the
members Of the National Reform Press
Association in every state and the press
generally TO unite with as in securing sigma
tures in every section TO q memorial TO con-
gress petitiOning for the speedy and
complete acquisition of both q telegraph
and q telephone service in the United
States.
