We Want Cheaper Rates.

Among the reforms expected OF the F1fty-J
fourth Congress by Washing tonians Is one
in which one real and three or four pro-
spective telephone companies, to saw moth
ing of large number of subscribers or
would-be subscribers. are interested. Some
time ago there was great furry of prom
Use as to cheap telephone service, and 1t
may be that things are being done toward
making good few of the many promises
that were made with so much fuency and
readiness but as evidence to that effect Is
not visible to the naked eye just now 1t Is
to be feared that We are still a long way
of from such satisfactory conditions as ex-
list in Europe. 1t has just been announced
that telephone charges In France are to be
reduced to five cents for a three-minute
conversation between persons who are
within radius of fifteen miles. We would
feel ins'ited # foreigner should insinuate
that anything possible to European in
genuity and cash is impossible to American
brains and American capital. but we daw-
ole along, content to suffer from ANTICIPATED
methods and to pay therefor exorbitant
rates. The telephone power Is unquestiop-
ably a strong one and 1t cannot be either
overthrown or compelled to do its duty by
the public except by vigorous measures,
and these are not possible unless there is
uImistakable expression of public sent
iment favorable to their enactment. The
struggle for cheap telephones is much too
meritorious to be permitted to die in silence
and seclusion. We claim civilized superb
GRITTY over all the nations of Europe; sup
pose we hustle and try to catch up with
some of the second and third rate old
world countries.
