TELEPHONE COMPANIES
Want to Increase Their Rates-Say
They Are Sinking Money at
Present Rates Charged.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, May "A number of do
mastic telephone companies operating
in this state have recently awakened
to the fact that the prices which they
have been charging for their service
are not enough to pay operating ex
penses, a small dividend and provide
small sinking fund for keeping the
plant in repair and they are asking
the railroad commissioner, which has
supervision of telephone rates, for
permission to increase their charges
Many of these companies were formed
in opposition to larger systems and as
result the price of service was put
at very low figure. Things went
on swimmingly until, after few
years operation, it dawned on the in
vestors that the plant was running
down and would shortly be obsolete if
something was not done. No one
seemed to have anticipated that this
condition would arise and consequent
ly no provision was made for it in the
charges. The commission will no
doubt grant the request.

after the whitecappers with much en-

court of Lincoln county which begins
next Monday. He will call special
attention to the matter in his charge
and there will be no mincing about
it. Five men are already under bond
in that county awaiting the action of
the grand jury, and it is moral GER
tainty that if these men are guilty
they had a considerable number of ac-
completes whom the grand jury can
smoke out if it will only take the
trouble. What the outcome of the
matter will be no one can tell, but it
is safe to say that what has already
been done In Lincoln county has given
whitecapping a setback from which
it Will not soon recover.
