PHONE COMPANIES AT WAR
Springfield Citizens Trying Freeze
Out.
Minnesota Central Fightingto Hold
Exchange.
Feels Obligation Owing Patrons
in Other Towns.

War to the knife is being carried on
between the two rival telephone COM
panies in Springfield, the Minnesota
Central and the Citizens company,
and that village is being treated to
some cheap rates.
It is war in which the Minnesota
Central is fighting to keep from being
frozen out of business by the new con-
Germ which, it is claimed, was start
ed with very little if any public senti-
ment demanding it. The trouble
dates back to last spring and it was at
that time that the Citizens company
was started, but the real fight com
menced only this month when the new
concern started up business.
William G. Frank, cashier of the
State Bank of Springfield, is credited
with being the power back of the
Springfield company, A year ago the
the Offices of the Minnesota Central
were in the State Bank and as tenants
the company did it's banking business
with Mr.. Frank. But it happened that
one of the officers in the Citizens Bank
was a stakeholder in the Minnesota
Central and asked a share of the COM
pany's business. At most it did not
amount to a great deal, but the COM
pany gave him part.
NEW COMPANY STARTED.
This, it is claimed, offended Mr..
Frank and he started movement for
an independent company. The news

$4,000 FOR SCHOOL SECURED
Funds for Catholic ParochiaI School Building
Flowing in.

Ten thousand dollars has been
raised in cash or pledges by the COM
mittee of the Catholic church having
in charge the construction of the paro-
chial school house. Most of this has
been secured within the last week and
as the work has been practically just
begun the committee expects little
trouble in raising the full S4O,O or
more required.
Only about fifth of all the members
who are expected to contribute have
been approached and in every quarter
there has been the utmost willingness
to give. Everybody seems to be pros
porous this year and pride in the mag
nifcent building under construction
has made it easy for the committee.
The plan is to collect about S1OO on
an average from every family in the
Eeongreg alton, allowance being made
for those who cannot give as much
and for those who can give more.
The pledges are to be redeemed any
time within four years.

"MoNEY AND MORALS"

s'MONEY AND MORALS.'
Mr.. Watterson' S lecture Wednesday
night in Turner theater on "Money
Morals and Society" drew crowd,
which though rather small on account
OF the raging rain storm, yet was large
enough to be tribute to the distin-
guished visitor.
Mr.. Watterson is a man of ideals.
He belongs to the school who placed
public service and culture before money
and who preferred being great editors
and statesmen and orators to being
great business men and money makers.
His address is plea for the old
ideals which have been largely
replaced by the modern commercialism.
1t is hardly necessary to say that Mr..
Watterson handles the subject well.
His thoughts were forcible and he
clothed them in language eloquent in
its purity and simplicity.

AIDS DISTRESSED CUPID
Clerk of Court Valves Fee for Red

GLOW much?" asked the happy
looking young man as he stood awk-
wardly before Clerk of Court John
Larson and nervously fingered the
rim of his hat, while the latter care
fully wrote the name Of John Hanson
of Redwood county and retrospective
bride in the big book where all marri-
age licenses are registered, GLOW
much do I owe you?"
''The fee is 49," said the clerk with
out looking up from his writing.
The young man dug into his trousers
pockets, first on one side then on the
other, then into his hip pockets. His
face fell. II guess" he stammered,
while he made vain search through
the pockets of his coat, 81 guess I can't
find my money! Then with a sickly
SMILE" guess I have lost it."
The clerk of court examined the
youth with his eyes from head to foot.
''How much did you have?" he
asked.
"About $50. was going to get me
new suit and few other things and
I put my pocketbook in one of my
pockets this morning when I started
into town, and thought would come
up here and get the license frst.''
SIT was all I had to get married
on" he continued after a pause in
which he put on his hat and took a
few steps toward the door, IT worked
hard for that and we had planned to
start in on farm in Redwood I have
arranged to rent. But suppose we
will have to put it off now, I don't
| want to get married until [ can do it
right
Mr.. Larson scratched his head a
minute in deep thought, then he burst
out:
'sYou just take that license right
along young man and you don't owe
me a cent. And say, some people
think m here for the money there is
in it, but I'm not, take deep interest
in the cause. When you get ready te

The young fellow took the license
but as he hasn't showed up yet with
his bride-to-be, he probably has con
cluded to have a minister and pay {

reached the ears of the Willmar COM
pany and it was surprised. There
was no call for the rival concern.
Thepublic was getting excellent service
and there were no complaints. Never
theless it informed the promoters that
it was not adverse to selling if it could
get what the plant was worth.
The price asked was So, 500, sum
which did not cover the cost of con-
struction. The only condition imposed
was that the local concern should al
low the old company switching privi-
leges, as in justice to its subscribers
in New Ulm and all the other towns
where it maintains exchanges it could
not allow itselfto be shut out of Spring
field with only booth. 1t would not
be fair to them to make such a move
as would compel them to pay ten cents
extra for each message sent.
This the new company would not con-
slider and started in to build it's
exchange and run the other out of
town. 1t made its shares $40 each and
limited the number sold to one man to
ten, SO that practically every business
man in the village became a stock
holder.
CANNOT ABANDON SPRINGFIELD.
The result has been that the old COM
pany is handicapped. It cannot in
justice to its other exchanges pull out
Of Springfield and leave the field to its
rival without the switching privileges,
and yet it has found it's business there
largely diminished because every bust
ness man is a stakeholder and will
patronize the home concern when it
comes to a choice.
There was but one thing to do; to
make some concessions on residence
phones, and this it did.
The end of the trouble is perhaps
some years off but the outcome does
not seem doubtful. The Citizens COM
pany has no outside connections, as
the Minnesota Central has the North
western toll franchise. It was the
supposed plan of the former to connect
with the Tri-State people, running a
line to Sleepy Eye and thence to New
Ulm. But this plan fell through when
the Farmers Telephone company,
which sought an entry into New Ulm
from the east last spring, was refused
admission, and now the Springfield
concern has no way Of communicating
with the outside world except over its
rivals line.
TWO PHONES A BURDEN.
So Handicapped, it seems doubtful if
it's attempt to freeze out the established
company will be successful. The time
is coming when the business men of
Springfield will get tired of paying for
two phones, as they must now, and will
gradually give their support to the one
which can give them the better service.
This has been the experience in every
town or city where independent COM
panies have started up. 1t is SO in
Minneapolis and St. Paul and it is so
in Mankato and other places. Com
petition, where the old company was
already giving good service at rea-
sonable rate, has simply meant a
double tax on all telephone ushers.
AS far as the cut rates ia Springfield
at the present time and in other towns
where competition exists is concerned,
| they cannot last. A business must be
run at profit and fair rate must be
charged.
