Mr. Fish says that it is the duty Of

public interest that this return shall
be such as will attract the capital

order to build up what the inhabitants
of this country need, namely, a ma
tional telephone system in which
every subscriber can be connected
with every other subscriber through
out the land.

Safeguarding Factory TOilers.

One of the last official acts of Presi.
dent Loubet Of France was the open
ing of permanent exhibition in Paris
for the display Of appliances to pre-
vent accidents to operators of machines
In factories. In the exhibition are in
stalled the more common machines
used in factories, and daily demonstra-
tons of the safety appliances are CIV
en- for the benefit of employees and the
employers.
Unusual attention Is paid to the pro-
lection of workmen in France because
Of the peculiar laws of that country as
to the liability of the employer for all
injuries to the employee. In France
the law preSumes that the fault lies
with the employer. Workmen incapac-
itated by accident are entitled to one
half to two-thirds wages, according to
the severity of the injury, and in case
of death as a result of accident while
working the dependents are entitled
to life pension Not alone employers
of factory hands, but builders of ma
chinery, have an object in securing the
safety of operatives. The safer the
machine the quicker it finds a pur-
chaser.

Who Can Vote In Russia.

The fact that lots of things have
been done to the douma project in
Russia since the car originally ordered
the calling of national assembly could
not block the wheels Of political prog,
ress IN that distracted country to any
great extent, provided the spirit OF
the popular demand and the promises
OF the ruler are carried out in the
election of representatives. The out
look for a square DEAF is not good
according to the Paris Europeen. De
scribing changes in the electoral laws
as applied to the douma elections, this
paper says:
The age limits which made it impossible
for the active and most energetic ele-
Ments Of the people to vote have beer
preserved, and, as was the case in the
past, the electors are divided into orders
or classes, with no guarantee Of a fair
ballot. The only real change that has
been made is that the classes of the quail
flied voters have been increased. Thus ir
the new categories of voters that have
been created we find that owners Of taxed
property and licensed merchants in the
towns are clasSed In the second and
third degree, tenants and farmers, small
rural proprietOrs and priests as of the
second and third degree while the peas
ants are put in the fourth degree. In ad-
dition, the state employees. those Of the
zemStvOS, railroads and wOrkmen in fac
tories are permitted to vote.
However, the workmen are hemmed In
with many restrictions The only work
men who are considered voters are those
who have worked more than six months
In an establishment employing at least
fifty hands. In consequence Of this fact
the millions of workmen In the small and
| miscellaneous factories will remain out
side the provisions Of the law, the same
being true for workmen in factories who
have not been at work steadily for q
period of at least six months. But it car
hardly be expected that many workmen
will qualify today, after year of general
| strikes and partial Interruptions. Indeed
1t Is certain that hardly one-fourth Of the
working class will be able to vote; be-
| sides, the workmen only form a small
proportion compared to the voters Of the
| first degree. and unless they vote for
bourgeois candidate the workmen have
no chance of seeing their man in parlia-
| ment In short, the new electoral law
tends to favor the bourgeoisie Of the
towns and country, a bourgeoisie which
has given the government abundant proof
Of its loyalty.
According to London newspaper re.
ports, the Russian voters are disinclin-
ed to register, owing to the obstacles
placed in the way Of fair electoral
campaign by the government and the
prevalence Of repressive measures
Postponement of the elections to later
date than April has been freely agitat-
ed by the reactionaries, who hope that
| time will increase the popular misgiv-
ings and that the douma will prove
abOrtive.

Caught in Saw, Badly Hurt.

Dayton, Wash, April Al. F.
Llemming, better known as "Slim,"
was last Thursday injured at Charles
Grupe's sawmill, about fourteen miles
up the Touchet. His right arm above
the wrist was caught by an edging
saw, which shattered one large bone
severed the main arteries and badly
lacerated the flesh. 1t appears that
"Slim" was working on the cutoff
saw at the time, and the belt flew off,
The wire that pulled the whistle to
stop the engine was above the edger
saw, and after pulling it he carelessly
allowed his hand to drop on the saw
The doctor has hopes of saving his
hand in spite of the fact that one of
the bones and many of the tendons
were severed.

the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company through the sale of it's
securities, with the exception Of that
expended upon its own telephones and
long distance lines, passes into the
treasures of the associated compan-
icy in exchange for their securities
In view of this the entire capitaliza-
ton, including funded and floating
debt of all the companies, including
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company, is $334,524,5S3, and
the average capitalization per station
including the total cost of toll lines,
is S149, and excluding toll lines. sos.
Against this it is stated that the indie
pendent companies are capitalized
from 5000 to upwards of $3.50 per sta
ton. To make a showing under their
very high capitalization, these indie
pendent companies purport to operate
at not over so per cent of gross rev.

Grafton of the Bell companies is about

that the competition of two telephone

INCREASE WAS VERY LARGE
Report Of American Telephone and
Telegraph Company.
MADE BY PRESIDENT FREDERICK FISH
BELL COMPANIES EXPENDED
OVER FORTY MILLION DOL
LARS LAST YEAR.

President Patrick p. Fish, in his an
nual report of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company just issued,
shows that there were 2,52S,715 Bell
telephone stations in operation at the
close of 1905, an increase of over half
a million, or about 25 per cent, since
the close of the previous year. the
total mileage of wire in use for ex-
change and toll service was 6,O43,-
a quarter miles were added during
the year. During the year the Bell
companies spent for construction in
exchanges and toll lines $46,6O3,516,
and for land and buildings $4,177,39O,
a total of over fifty million dollars
as against s31,619,1OO in 1904. During
the year the Bell companies handled
a total daily average of 1871, 900 con-
nections, or at the rate of about A.
479, 100000 a year, being fifty-four tel
ephone calls for each man, woman and
child in the United States.
Greater than Ever.
The report states that this is the
thirtieth year since the invention of
the telephone, and the growth of bus
mess has been greater than ever be-
fore, the rate of growth being accel-
Grated by the larger number of tele-
phones in use in the improvement of
the service The Bell companies are
not only standardizing apparatus, but
adopting uniform methods of engin
eering, operation and accounting,
which enable them to deal more eftic-
iently with an infinite number of small
units of service. The combined ex
perience of nearly forty operating
companies is being utilized in meet
ing the needs of various communities
and in the solution of the greatest
of all problems, that of rates. The
average investment per station has
been reduced by means of sound en-
gineering and construction methods
and the introduction of new classes
of service at less than average cost.
There has also been a revolution in
the average cost of operation per sta
ton and because of these reductions
the Bell companies have been enabled
to make a marked reduction in their
average rates An the new money
which comes into the business is in
vested dollar for dollar in the plant.
At the present time there is in use
in the system not less than 100000
600 pounds of copper wire, 100000
poles and 100000 feet of under
ground conduit. About so per cent
of the exchange wire is in cables, and
"a per cent of the exchange wire is
underground. The number of officers
and employees has been increased to
S7,212.

Sweeping the State.

The Sioux Falls Press, always con-
Servative in it's statements concerning
the present political struggle in the
state CLEANS from inside information
that the anti-machinc forces will
sweep the state. We copy the follow
ing editorial from the press, us it is,
in our opinion, fair statement of
the situations:
The press is advised by those in
charge of the details of the move
ment that republican insurgency is
spreading so effectively that it is in
vading counties that have been con-
ceded to the machine.
No effort has been made from the
outside to interest such counties,
but the spirit of rebellion has arisen
within Them and they are interesting
themselves.
Not any great number of counties
were placed upon the incorrigible list
and the few that were resting under
the stigma are rapidly working out
their redemption.
This is one of the happy signs OF
the times-for the anti-machine fac
tion in the state. 1t assures move
ment of insurgency that will sweep
all the counties of the state and will
result in an easy majority for the in
Surgents in the June convention of
the republican party.
One of the peculiarities of the cam
paign is silence on the important is
sues involved on the part of the ma
chine newspapers and a great deal Of
noise over the allegation that the in
surgent movement is too dead to skin.
1t is upon this one string that the Or
gans and the cuckooS are playing.
Meanwhile insurgency is gathering
such strength that it is now moving
in an irresistible way by its own
force. 1t can hardly be affected by
the clatter of the machine.
