TELEPHONE RATES
New Light on the Problem from the
New York City Company.
NeW York Times


Even more interesting than the So
long delayed announcement that public
telephone calls within borough are to
be reduced in price to cents, is the
fact that in the course of his explana-
ton laudation Of what his company had
done, the general manager made what
is, we think, the very first admission
that ever came from Bell official that
the cost Of maintaining telephone
service does not always, and will not al
ways, increase at a rate faster than the
increase in the number Of subscribers.
We have heard, ali! SO many, many
times, that the telephone business was
unlike every other business in the world
in that it could be more cheaply con
Quoted on small than on a large scale.
We have had numberless elaborate dem
onstrations that this claim was true,
and some points made in some Of the
demonstrations, it must be confessed
carried an inconvenient amount Of con.
viction with them, even to those Of ms
who had given special attention to the
subject, instead Of contenting-or dis.
contenting ourselves, like the rest Of
the great army Of telephone users, with
growing against the tolls on general
principles. H.: 49,.

Fort Dodge, Iowa, Feb 1s.-Wednesday, Feb.
q, has been set for the formal opening of the
campaign Of Governor Cummins Of Iowa for
| another term, in the Midland theater of Xhis
city. Plans for republican red-letter political
meeting will soon be completed, and 1t is ex-
pected to be the greatest republican rally that
northern Iowa has undertaken for years. Lead
Ing republicans from the third, eleventh and
tenth congressional districts are expected to be
present. Attic this will not be the initial gun
OF the governors campaign, 1t will be prac-
tically the opening of It, and SO regarded. H.
The matter OF third term which has been used
In connection with his name is seemingly not
offensive to the governors supporters in this
district. And 1t Is to this fact in all proba-
bil1ty that he has chosen the capital Of the
tenth to, formally open his campaign. Rumor
has at that he will take advantage of the op-
portunity to refute the allegations that he shas'
an ambition for Senator Delivers place in the
United States senate. This charge has been
laid at his door repeatedly by friends of Iowa's
junior senator. The rumor comes from source
that allows Of no doubt as to its genuineness

MINIS mas always regarded the senator friend
ana 1t Is said that he will make no effort to
gain for himself any support in that direction
as long as Senator Dolliver desires to hold the
office. --.'s.- 81. &c. - - ~
It Is understood that the governor will debate
and defend the Dolliver rate bill. In fact, the
advertising matter now being prepared for the
meeting admits as much, and he will explain
| in detail he did at a recent meeting at
Primghar, his own experiences with the railroads
and the influence Of the railroad lobby. The
Keynote of the campaign will no doubt be sound
ed IN the explanation of why the Blyth forces
are opposing the passage of the primary and
ant1pass bills. Local republicans friendly to the
governor are looking forward to an old-fashioned
rally, the like of which has not been witnessed
IN northern' Iowa for many years. ..- =. v,
