ABLE LEADERS
IN ASSEMBLY

lawyer the Republicans now have In the
house. The tighter Of imaginery wind
mills. and consequently the real Republi-
can leader will be former Speaker Sam
ual Ward King Allen. The whip will be
used roughly by this long and lean gen.
tleman; and there can be no doubt that
the men who don't smile when sam
smiles will feel its sting
Judge Rathbun has done faithful work
on the committee on corporations; but
while pleasant enough outside OF the
house chamber. he is not any too well
liked even by his own party men therein.
He will not be a leader.
one OF the men most missed from tho
present house will be Judge Henry A.
Palmer He has after a terrific contest
been moved up to the senate and has
bossomed out as an Independent. One
OF the standbys of the Republicans I'm the
house is philip A. Money. Intensely de-
voted TO the farmers interests, he has
always been well liked by the Democrats;
and IL was with great surprise that the
latter heard that he at the Republican
conference nominated Burchard for
speaker.
Providence has unquestionably the alb
lest man in the senate, Hon. Rathbone
Gardner. The Republican leader there
will be the staggering Stiness; and,
though he will probably delay the fight
ing as long as possible, there Is bound to
be a clash between him and Senator
Gardner. with Gardner sure 10 win Then
there will be fun indeed for the men who
may be about the state house that day.
Senator McKenna OF Cumberland is also
a capable fighter; and there will be no
failure on the part Of the Democratic
senators i'm upholding their colleagues OF
the lower house.
An interesting session II is bound to be
and the people. rather than the corpora
tions. are bound to have the hest OF the
argument. II not OF the roll calls.

Telephone FACTS
NO. 4
WHY TELEPHONES Are RENTED

In their attempts to dscredit the Providence
Telephone Company, its opponents have persist
emily reported that the rental paid by the Prov-
dence company for the use Of Bell telephone in
struments is burden upon telephone This
is exactly contrary to the facts which arc as fol-
lows:
By its arrangements with the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company, the central organ
ization Of the Bell system the Providence company
pays a rental of about two dollars year for each
set Of telephone Instruments consisting of trans
mtter and receiver. The Providence company is
thus relieved of the necessity of purchasing its tee
phones outright, and the plant is equipped not only
with the best type of telephones but with tee-
phones of the same kind as used throughout the
Bell system, fact Of the utmost Importance in
providing toll and long distance service.
More than that, if instruments become defec-
tive if one style OF instrument is superseded by
a new type the loss does not fall upon the Provi-
dence company. Not long ago the transmtters in
common use were of the Blake pattern. These
have been replaced by the long distance transmit
ters, change which would have cost the Prov-
dence company a large amount if il had owned the
instruments
Included i'll the price paid by the Providence
Telephone company for the use of its instruments
VI
Telephone and Telegraph Company for which no
additional payment is made.
The Providence Telephone Company has, with
out extra expense, the expert assistance of the en-
gineering force of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company. The Providence company,
a member of the Bell system, is also given the bcne
fit of the improvements that constantly being
bade by Bell engineers in telephone appliances and
in engineering methods.
In the way, improvements made by any
company in the Bell system in methods of handling
telephone traffic and in conducting the business,
available for use by any other Bell company.
In addition, Bell apparatus, being manufac-
tured in large quantities. is made at the lowest pos
sble cost and this saving of money to the
Providence company when it buys switchboards,
cable and other expensive features of telephone
equipment
And in times OF trouble emergency, and
company in the Bell system has the assistance of
others in promptly restoring its service to normal
conditions.
These advantages not enjoyed by isolated,
independent telephone companies and they are
obtained by the Providence company as part of the
return it receives for the money paid in rentals.
