The Independent telephones of In
diana now number 166,255, that bring
in an annual rental of s3,O4s,ss5. 1t
is interesting to note as comparison
that in the days of the monopoly be-
fore the Independent movement be-
gan, this same number of telephone
instruments would have cost the peo-
pie s7,275,s00, over twice as much.
SO much for the Independent compan-
les in favor of the people. But in
the reign of monopoly there were on
ly 1000 telephones in the whole state
of Indiana, or one for every $50 of
population, and not one in the house
of farmer. Now there are 1s,a. 255
independent telephones, or one for
every 1e of population, and 10000
of them are in the homes of farmers.
