TELEPHONE RATES,

While there ia no fault to be found
with the service given telephone sub
scribers in Santa Fe, the local manage
ment being unusually efficient, there are
certainly grounds for complaint oon-
corning the charges made for the use of
phones. In eastern cities the rates are
fully one-third lower than those in the
west, and particularly in this city. If
service can be given eastern subscribers
for less than the same service isfurnished
in Santa Fe, it is reasonable to suppose
that there is an unfair as we'll as an un-
just discrimination in the business meth
DDS of the company conducting the tele-
phone lines, and vigorous protest
should be made against that discrimina-
ton.
Possibly the principal reason for lower
rates in the eastern cities is that city
councils, in granting franchises for tele-
phone privileges, place limit upon the
amount the company may charge for the
use of iustrum ents, and that is one thirS
western cities have neglected to do. All
these things must be learned by expert
ence, and the lesson that has be5n learned
in dealing with telephone companies IN
the past will not be forgotten very sud-
denly.
The complaint is often heard that
but few people use telephones, and that
tnere Is no money in maintaining an ex-
change in town SO small as Santa Fe.
The remedy for this drawback to the
business lies wholly in the hands of the
company. Let it reduce the rents for in
struments to a point where the ma
jority of the people can afford to put In
telephone, and there will be no lack of
subscribers. No one questions the con-
venience of having in instrument in
residence, in fact it has become almost
an absolute necessity to most families to
have one, but in these days even necessi-
ties have to be done without, when the
cost is above the amount that can be af-
forded. The number of subscribers to
the telephone exchange in this city is not
large, but if the rentals were reduced to a
reasonable price there is no doubt but
that the number would be largely in-
creased.
