TO VISIT PRESIDENT
MONTGOMERY COMMITTEE WILL.
 INVITE MIR. ROOSEVELT
Business and Professional Men VIII Bear Invitations from Commer- ciaf Association, Governor Cunningham and City
 Council.

Thursday of next week a committee of Montgomery business and profess sional men will visit President Roose- welt at the White House in washing ton and will formally invite him to stop in the Capital City of Alabama on his proposed visit to the Southern States.
 The arrangements for the trip to Washington were perfected by the Committee at meeting held yesterday at noon. The Committee was appoint. ed by President A. C., Forbes of the Commercial and Industrial Association in pursuance of a resolution adopted by that organization at its last meet ing. The Montgomery delegation will consist of Frank P. Glass. Chairman; Alex Rice, George A. Thomas, c. G. zirkle. Phares Coleman and l.. L. Gill; bert.
 Hon. Hilary A. Herbert, Congress- man A. A. Wiley and Senators Pettus and Morgan were appointed by Presf. dent Forbes to act with the MontEom- cry committee.
 At the meeting yesterday 1t was de- cided that the members of the Com mittee should leave Montgomery Tues day night and to present the invitation to the President Thursday, providing in the meanwhile 1t was ascertained that he was willing to reoeive the com. mitteo on that day.
 While the committee to visit Presi- dent Roosevelt will primarily repre- sent the Commercial and Industrial Association Of Alabama It's duties are widened by reason of the fact that it will carry to Washington an invitation from Governor Cunningham to the President to visit the various cities of the State.
 The Montgomery Committee will also bear to Washington a copy of the res- olutions adopted by the City Council asking the President to stop here.

 expenses will most likely increase in greater ratio than the earnings.1t

 1t is obvious that the expenses, per station, of a telephone exchange will increase as the number of stations in- creases, for the very simple reason that 1t costs more to give a subscriber ser- vice with s,460 connections than 1t does to give him a service with only $500 connections--the same as 1t costs D. telegraph company more to send S,400 words over It's wires than 1t does to send $500. And as q telephone com pany increases the extent of its ser vice by increasing the number of sta- tions, it's earnings will not increase aS rapidly as its expenses. for the reason that the natural growth of the busi- ness has a tendency to decrease the earnings per station. because the high CT rate business telephones are gener- ally installed to the limit of the de- mand during the first year of the ex- istenee of the exchange and the devel. opment or subsequent growth of the exchange comes by the addition of the lower rate residence telephones and extension sets. This point is we'll illus traLed by figures from the statement of the Toledo Home Telephone Com pany as follows:

All the gains made here, 1t will be seen, are in the lower rate residence phones. free phones and extension sets. The loss of flfty-nine residence phones at s26 per year. 1t should be explained is due to the fact that the company Is advancing its residence rate from $26 to $32 per year as contracts expire and it Is likely that most of the loss of flfty-nine is represented in the gain of seventy-seven residence phones at the s32 rate.
 It is this natural tendency of the ex- penses to increase in greater ratio than the earnings that forced the Toledo Home Telephone Company to advance it's rates. Before the rates were advanc- cd General Manager Hamblin of the company said, in an interview in the Toledo Times of February g, 1908: Tt costs the company great deal more per capita to furnish service to 12,00O patrons than 1t does to 6,000 and 1t Is because of this fact that the matter of increasing the rates Is being consider ed"
 The rates were advanced in the spring of 1904, and in the course of a few years If the exchange grows and the service increases, General Manager Hamblin may justify another advance in the schedule the same as he justified the first advance.
 study of the stament made recent ly by the company reveals the fact that the expenses are increasing faster than the earnings. as they will in any telephone business, and the further fact that the company is not making proper and adequate provision for the depre- citation of its plant.
 The only thing in the statement that can be applied to depreciation is the maintenance expense account, which includes only items for repairs to the plant. This expense amounted to 3D. 40O5l for October, 1903, and to s3.- 35351 for October. 1904. The increase In this item for October of 1904 over the same for October of the preceding year is $953.00. or more than 39 per cent. The item for September of 1904 was $3,140.09, also a heavy increase over the similar item of year before. This increase in the maintenance ex- pense indicates the increased demand for repairs in a plant only little more than two years old. When the plant reaches the stage Of reconstruction-- which Is bound to begin with a few years. as 1t does with all telephone pIants--the work of reconstruction will have to be done. and whether the ex- pense is charged to maintenance, con struction or any other head matters not Usually. this reconstruction ex- pense is charged to maintenance, and most telephone companies consider themselves fortunate if they keep 1t witbin per cent of the cost of their plants
 l-niess the Teledo Homo Telephone Company succeeds in doing what other experienced telephone companies have found Impossible, its maintenance or reconstruction expense will amount to at least per cent of the cost of its plant within 6 few years. If the cost of the plant is as much as Sl 900. GOO

these figures. The Toledo Home com- pany began to operate in the fall of 1902, and in less than two years time 1t represented to the public that its business could not be continued under the rate Limitations of its franchise. The rates were raised. regardless of the terms of the franchise, and the City of Toledo brought suit in the Su- preme Court of Ohio to test the valid fly of the companys action. At this writing the case Is undecided.

Increase for months 4s5. I07.4 Although the number of lines oper- ated In October was no larger than the number operated in September. the number of stations increased from s. 33f to S.400 during the month. It will be observed that the expenses in- creased in much greater ratio than did the earnings. This is the natural evo- lution of the telephone business, and it's results can be avoided only by in- creasing the rates as the service in- creases. The statement of the Toledo Home Telephone Company furnishes Q striking illustration of the well-estab- lished principle that gross earnings do not grow as rapidly as gross expenses in the telephone business. For in stance. the statement shows the earn ings and expenses, per station, for Sep- tember and October as follows:

pense items have been reduced since October, 1903, indicating policy of re- trenchment on the part of the manage nent Probably the same economy has been practiced~in the maintenance de- partment. but nevertheless this item of expense has shown a very great in- crease for the year. However, the cuts in the operating and general items have served to keep the increase in the total of expenses for October down to $4S0.32, as compared with the total of expenses for October, 1908. During the year, 1t will be observed, the gross monthly earnings have increased S1,- 517.41. That the earnings havo in- creased in greater ratio than the ex- penses during tbe year is due to the evident curtailment of operating anu general expenses and to the fact that the rental rates were advanced in the spring of 1904. For the reason that the advanced rates were in force du- ring both September and October of 1904 and for the further reason that the retrenchment in operating and general expenses applied to both of those months. the figures given above for this year are more significant of the trend of the company's business. A comparison of the gross earnings and total expenses for the months of Sep- tember and october, 1904, follows:
