THE TELEPHONE REPORT.

THE TELEPHONE REPORT.
In the last week. issue, the Trib-
une published the report of the tele-
phone committee of the Commercial
Club, with the short comment that
the same report read like brief
for the Northwestern Telephone
Company and that the adoption of
all the recommendations of the COM
mittee would be an absolute sur
render of every right the city
might possess to control or regulate
this public service corporation.
A closer reading of the report
not only bears out the above state
ment but excites the wonder of the
reader that reputable men of affairs
would take the figures furnished by
the slippery telephone trust and
submit them apparently without in.
vestigation as a basis for the city
to make a settlement in which all
the advantage would be with the
trust.
The committee makes three re.
concentrations:
l. That litigation is futile and
should not be resorted to.
2. That city ownership must not
be attempted.
3. That competing company
would be an economic waste" anC
should not be encouraged.
Could more complete surrender
be written? What effective weapon
have the people Of Willmar to ust
in dealing with this corporation l.
they throw away those they hav'
as above? Only promise that rate
will not be increased more than s.
cents a month until the number O
phones reaches $780,. After tina
number is reached the company viii
do as it pleases, and raise the rate
to all the traffic will bear. Tn
company, however, will be satistie
with a dividend of six or seve
percent, PROVIDED THEY MA
DO THEIR OWN FIGURING.
} According to their own figure
as furnished to the committee, tn
company is now operating at a loss
!, Hence it will be necessary to rails
rates in order for any dividends
be realized. The following is tn
company's statement, which tn
committee assures US may be YER
fed by the company books. Til
statement covers the period frol
May / to Dec. l, 1907.
