Der OF years has been in the employ

NIGHT RATES ARE HIGHER.
Beginning Last Tuesday Long Distance
Charges to Be Same as Daytime.

The Michigan State Telephone
company has new schedule of night
rates, effective last Tuesday. Some
years ago Telephone Cos throughout
the country adopted the practice of
charging less for long-haul night
message than for similar day mes
sages. The idea of the low rates
was to educate people to use at night
the long distance lines, which we're
for the most part idle after 6 clock
p. m. But the constantly increasing
number OF night messages sin recent
years has brought about a conges-
tion in the toll lines. This is ac-
counted for bv the fact that many
messages which ordinarily would be
sent during the daytime are post
poned until evening, to take advan
.taye of the low night rate.
District Manager X. S. Baker in-
forms the public that his company is
simply following the lead of many
other telephone companies. The
American Telephone & Telegraph
company. known as the ''long dis
tance" company, has already adopted
this practice, as have many other
Bell and independent companies.
Mr.. Baker also says that while only
q small portion Of the night business
is affected by this change. yet he ex-
poets the equalization Of the rates
will reduce the congestion on toll
lines during the evening hours.

CONCERNING
THE n. P. LEGION
An Interesting and Explanatory State
ment in Connection with the
Various CHANGES Made at
Recent Meeting.

Many people in this, vicinity are
greatly exercised oyer reports being
nude concerning the National Pro
tective Legion and the action taken
in it's last biennial convention. 1t is
currently stated that the cash divi-
dend OF the organization payable
each five years, will bes materially
reduced. An authoritative state
ment concerning this society, so well
known in our place, is TO the effect
that the cash dividend in future will
be declared upon purely mathemat-
ical basis and that the amount to be
paid each year will not be known
until an actuary shall have made
computations to determine it. In
future the dividends will vary each
and every year, and the amount paid
on each full rate certificate will be
changed to such sum as is the actual
increment upon the certificates is
sued during the year, five years
previous .thereto.
This action was in accordance with
the demands made by the insurance
department of nearly every state in
the union where the legion does busi-
ness, and it was largely a compul-
sorry change. However, the change
seems an admirable one, inasmuch
as it assures the perpetuity of the
society and removes all obstacles ex-
ercised oy the various insurance de-
partmenis and other officials in
authority. Furthermore, it removes
all criticisms so freely passed by the
old line companies. From its
national officers we gather informa-
tion that. they earnestly approved
the measure, and OF its assurance of
equity and justice to all the member
ship. Te the public we will also
state that 925 representatives we're
in attendance at the meeting and
voted unanimously to adopt the
change that was made. From the
standpoint Of one who carefully
reviews the conditions as presented,
good judgment indicates that cor
rect action was taken.
