The Disappointing and Disastrous
Outcome of Telephone
Competition.
From the Electrical Englneeringl

From the Electrical Engineering.l
In an interview Mr.. A. K. Rod
gers, late president of the Topeka
Telephone & Electrical Company,
formerly known as the Topeka Har-
rison Telephone Company, Topeka,
Kansas, in reply to some questions
about the proposed organization of
new opposition telephone exchange
said:
Eyes, I notice by the newspapers
that the organization of another
telephone company has been talked
of to operate an exchange in Topeka
in opposition to the Bell Company,
and that competition will result in a
reduction of rates and a correspond
ing saving to subscribers. Having
had considerable experience in an
opposition exchange in this city
which proved disastrous to the sub
scribers' interest, it may not be out
of place for me to mention some of
the disappointing features of an OPP
position telephone enterprise.
"While competition is the means
by which people usually expect to
obtain any product at the lowest
price, and, generally applied, the
reasoning is correct, yet it is not so
in the telephone business. For the
telephone is a natural monopoly,
and competition does not bring the
desired results either in a lessened
price or in the quality of the service
This is true, because the telephone
is of value to an exchange subscriber
in proportion to the number of per-
sons that he can reach by its use,
and any division of the telephone
subscribers in city renders the
divided service less desirable and
therefore less valuable than when
all can be reached by one system.
Water, gas or electric light from any
one of several companies may meet
| the needs of consumer, but with
telephone service the business man
must he able to reach practically all
| of the subscribers in the city, and to
do this, he is compelled to patronize
as many exchanges as may be In
operation, which not only means
! the annoyance incident to each OF
the different systems, but an in
creased expense without any ma
terial benefit, loss of time and Oft
times a confusion in calling that is
especially vexatious to the busy man,
"Prior to the suspension of the
! Topeka Telephone q Electrical Com
pany, the rates of each company in
| this city were SIS for residence and
$24 for business telephones per an
mum. Since the failure of the To-
peka Telephone & Electrical Com
pany, the Bell rates have been ad-
! vanced to $50 for residence and $36
for business telephones. While the
two systems were in operation the
majority OF the business houses II
town had telephones from both
which made the cost of their ser.
vice $4S per annum as against $3t
now paid for the single service from
the Bell Company.
1.-THE SIS and $24 rates were below
the cost of supplying service, and
during the eight months that the
Topeka Telephone & Electrical Com
pany was operated by the receiver
the expenses necessary to operate

the plant exhausted the total re-
ceipts and left nothing for better
ments, depreciation, interest or
profits.
when our company was organ
lied it was expected that the eX-
change could be built for about one
half the sum that was ultimately in
vested. The estimates for operating
and maintaining the plant were
also very much below the figures as
certained from actual experience,
and we soon discovered that the
plant was losing money. We then
curtailed expenses wherever posi-
BILE, and none of the officers, except
ing those who gave their time to the
business, were allowed any salary /;
but we continued to run behind and
finally, were unable to prevent the
property from going into the hands
of a receiver. The court ordered the
property sold to satisfy certain judy
ments. But the proceeds of the sale
paid only part of the indebtedness,
leaving nothing whatever for the
bondhOlders or stockholders.
This, in brief, is the result Of our
experience in a business that we
knew nothing about, and / don't be-
lieve that any of those who invested
in the enterprise care to repeat the
experiment. For the business Is
Justly classed as extra hazardous, as
the plant is more or less damaged
by every wind and lightning storm
and the circuits are liable to be
completely destroyed by sleet
storms or tornadOes."

A Curious Epitaph.

The following epitaph is copied
from tomb in the vicinity of Port
Royal, Jamaica:
Here lieth the body of Louis
Caldy, Esq, a native of Montpelier,
in France, which country he left on
account of the revocation. He was
swallowed up by the earthquake
which occurred at that place in 1892,
but by the great providence of God
was, by second shock, flung into
the sea, where he continued swim
ming till rescued by boat and
lived 40 years afterward."
