The Evening Session.

When The delegates assembled for
the work of the evening there were
an additional number who came in
on the late tra1ns. Two very inter-
esting papers we're read, one by 2.
R. Crothers of Brookings, on
''Should Telephone Lines, l%ndcpen.
IDENTIFY Owned, Ever Exchange Bust
Dess Free?" and P. A. Zollman, of
Alexandra, read a paper on "Would
consolidation of the small companies
into large companies prove a benefit
either to the Stockholders or the
public?" Both papers we're handled
in a thorough manner, and the free
exchange business was discussed
pretty thoroughly throughout The
evening. n dozen or more men we're
in the vi custom of this feature and
they tul / of their troubles O
tered IN trying to satisfy their
patrons in one way and another. 1t
was the general opinion from the
discussions that there should be no
free business in the exchanges, and
that every person using the phone
system should De required to pay for
1T.
Mr.. Redman, OF Brooklnss, pre-
sented a paper on the "Telephone
Municipal Ownership" in which he
gave some facts on tie B%rookings
system and the amount of money
that had been made as a profit during
the year. On the money invested.
he stalled tina the Brookings system
cleared $4,000 for the city during
the past year.
Later in the evening j. l.. w.
Zeitlo~, president of the Dakota
Central Telephone Co., of Aberdeen,
took issue with Mr.. Redman on his
statement of the profits which had
accrued to Brookings from its system.
He said he did this for the reason
that SO many Interpretations had
been made ..as to the great profits in
the business that an injustice was
done The companies engaged in the
business. Mr.. Zeitlow said that he
bad secured the reports OF tue husl-
ness of the Brookings municipal
exchange for the past year, and that
he had carefully gone oyer the whole
figures. He declared unequivocally

ENERGETIC TELETH0KE MEN
They Got Down to Business and
Earnestly Discussed Matters Rel
alive to Their Interest.

1t was a little after 4 O'Clock We'd
nesday afternoon when the fifth
annual convention of the South
Dakota independent Telephone
Association. was called to order in
the city hall building by President
Kennedy, of Canton. Secretary
Buck a. present at the meeting.
There we're about 100 telephone men
IN the audience and they have turned
out to be an energetic class of men.
The address of welcome was deliv-
eled by Mayor Branson, and he
touched with interest on some points
of the telephone business that met
the hearty approval OF the delegates.
President Kennedy delivered his
annual address, which was a very
thorough exposition of the indepen-
dent business of the state. He gave
a clear statement of the work of the
legislative committee which was at
Pierre last winter jim the interests of
the companies OF the state, to look
after the laws that were to be passed,
placing the telephone system under
state conllol. This law passed by
the legislature, he said, gives the
state power to require physical con.
nection of all telephone lines, and
the question for US is can this be
done and not trench on the rights of
private property and the prohi oition
of taking it FOL private use, it is
claimed. takes place when one in
dependent company is required to
turn over its lines to tue use Of
another company III sending a mess
age coming ftom that other line.
President Kennedy's address was
listened with close attention for the
many excellent suggestions that it
contained.
Secretary Buck presented his annual
report, giving a good account of the
amount of business that had been
transacted through his Office. He
gave some statistics of the telephone
business Of the state in the following /:
The Bell companies own and oper-
ate 400 miles Of toll lines, the value
of which is 300, 900; it has IL ex-
cllanees with 3.764 phones installed,
at a value Of 1872, 800. The lnde-
pendent companies own and operate
between 5000 and 1000 miles of toll
lines, a value CT ST., 900, 900; il has
405 exchanges with $4,000 phones
Installed, which are valued d ST.. 900, :
600. The rural companies have grown
to a large extent in the past few
years and at present there are about
$50 companies handling the rural
business.
Greetings we're received from the
Nebraska association through the
addresses of r. E. Mattison, secre-
tary of the Independent Association
of that state. He gave a brief report
of the success Of the work that is
being done in the sister state.
A committee of five was appointed
to arrange for ways and means, and
consisted of Messrs. Steninger,
Zeitlow. Burnside, Hall and Buck.
An adjournment was taken for The
evening.
