F. II. Kramer Elected Chief
By Washington Florist Chtb
Young Alexandra Man
One of Largest Dealers
in Flowers in CITY.

In the election of F. II. Kramer as
president of the Washington Florist
Club last Monday the club chose one Of
the most energetic and prOgI essive mem
bers in the organization. Mr.. Kramer
has been identified with the local floral
trade many years and has won much
distinction here and through the coun-
try for his success in growing unique
roses.
Ctner officers chosen by the society
were John Robertson, vice president,
Charles r. McCauley, secretary, and
William +. Guide. treasurer.
The new president of the club is ma
tive of Alexandria and is thirty-eight
years old. He opened a small esJab-
lishment twentyyears ago and since that
time has gradually added TO his local
interests until now he is one of the
largest dealers I'm cut flowers in the city.
In his greenhouses in Anacosta he en-
pioys hale a hundred men, and just at
the present time the houses are ablaze
with thousands of vari-colored blooms.
Mr.. Kramer was a conspicuous eN-
hibitor at the last meeting Of the Amer
lean Rose Society, when ne won sixteen
prizes and certificates for the best
HAOWN roses III the COUNT -AtAAb-Ab --t-
exhibits was his $4,000 rose, queen
Beatrice" a gorgeous cerise bloom
which has taken medals and certificates
IN nearly every large city In the coun-
try. Another notable rose he mas
brought 10 perfection is a huge yellow
flower which is now known as "kTa-
meTs Pet" but which viii later be re-
named. Mr.. Kramer has several estab-
lishments in Washington which are Just
now filled with roses Of every descrip-
ton and early spring flowers.
Mr.. Kramer's interest in the AFFAIRS
OF the Washington Florist Club has
been OF long standing, but until the
recent business meeting he took no part
in the official administration Of its at-
fairs. He has done much TO further
the success Of the organization. and
through his own exhibits and his inter
est in others made by Washington flor
lists he attracted the attention of deal
eTs in many parts OF the country and
materially increased their interest in
the local shows.
Mr.. Kramer's election was made by
a large ma ority. and p has been hear
thy congratulated on the honor.

OLD TIME

Of WIFE GlNNC LIES.
The sad news vas received in the
city today of the death of John War
!aumont, a well known and an old
time resident of this city, at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. DAILY, at Casper,
where he has been visiting for a few
weeks, says the Cheyenne Tribune.

news of the failing strength of the aged
mother of the Warlaumont brothers,
and Lou Warlaumont left last night for
Riverside, Iowa, without having learn
cd of his brothers death. The old lady
IS ninety years of age and very feeble.
John Warlaumont was a carpenter by

extent the abuses that creep in under
who will give the most money there
for. The people of Texas are satisfied
with leasing. They would not give
II up. Their representatives vote for
the policy every time they are given
an opportunity. Their ranges are in
better shape than they have ever been
before in the history of the state. their
live stock business is on a better foot
ing, their stock Is of a higher grade
and the number has doubled since the
inauguration of the policy. At the
same time the state is receiving a half
million dollars annually from the use
oil its lands.
At the Laramie meeting Governor
Brooks dwelt at considerable length
upon the improved condition of our
Wyoming ranges. Just to show how
men will disagree upon matters of this
nature, The Republican desires to offer
the following testimony from the pen
Of DR.. j. NJ. Wilson, a man certainly
as well posted in range matters as the
governor: "All the time the range is
getting less able to care for the stock
that is pastured ON the public domain.
Just look at the market reports and
dee how many killers go from the
sano a or nraGnnt Cfnff AZ for fhn
slaughter house now is the exception,
while formerly killers from the range
were plentiful" Conditions now are
even worse than when the doctor wrote
the above, for the fences have been
coming down and the stock mixed in
the open.
The evidence Is against the COVER
nor and The Republican insists that
TO him as an Individual lessee it mat
tiers little whether the land leased were
the property of the state or the ma.
ton. Even the difference between ten
per cent TO the state and the entire
revenue above administration would
not mean a whitening blight that would
rub out such an industrious man.
No. The Republican would not object
10 Governor Brooks becoming a bene.
iiciary under a federal leasing system
should We be fortunate enough to Sc
cure the adoption of such a policy, but
1t would think he was rather inconsis-
tent if he got into the trough clear
up to his eyes and squealed all the
time because others were demanding

COMPANIES HAVE HARD PROBLEM
New Conditions Are Demanding Atten'
ton from Public Service Concerns.

In these days of compulsory read.
justment of industrial aairs, the tele-
phone companies, like other concerns
all over the country, are giving their
best thought to a problem that is OF
more or less interest 10 all telephon>
users. The problem was stated in a
paper entitled, How to Raise Tele,
phone Rates." read by L. A. Herrick
before the international Independent
Telephone associations convention in
Chicago, January 21-23.
The paper dealt with the predica.
ment in which many telephone com,
panies find themselves as a result OF
adopting rates too low to make a profit
under the changed conditions that have
come with the great development Of
the telephone industry and the increas.
ed cost of material and labor. Tele.
phone companies all over, Independent
as well as Bell concerns, find the prob
lem of increased cost serious, and are
seeking the only possible relief by ad-
susting rates.
Statements prepared by the tele-
phone people show that telephone
equipment and labor have increased in
cost about 80 per cent in the last few
years. The growth of the telephone in
Iustry has been nothing short of phe-
nomenal in the same period, and has
brought to the fore many new prob
lens, financial as well as physical.
People are now using the telephone
as a regular, daily part of their bust
ness and social routine, as co~ntrasted
with its occasional use d few years
ago. AS a result Of this increased use
of each line, n the great increase
in the number OF telephones in use,
the operating and maintenance items
have assumed new phases. and rates
, 1908-02-13

that were profitable a few years ago
are not profitable now.
As the telephone companies derive
their ven entirely from the sale
of telephone service, 1t follows that
the only way in which they can meet
the increased expense is by securing
Llore evenu from their lines, either
by raising existing rates Or by discon-
tinuing the cheaper classes of service
and using all wires only for the higher
classes of service.
The problem at present is acute, n
the west is sharing it. Among indie
pendent telephone companies noted as
having increases in rates
recently + those at Seymour, Ind,
Bloomington, Ind, jamestown, N. Y,
Holland, Mich, Portland, Mich, Cham
paign, Ill, Corning, N. Y, Hamilton, N.
J., Charleston, w. Va, Rochester, N.
y, and other places. In some cases,
competing companies, in order to Sc
Nuic IL dhSc " q Ielu, udNS
maximum franchise rates that were
simply impossible, and failure to Sc
cure notifications of the franchise
terms have caused numerous failures
of smaller companies, In other cases,
where the necessity of increase has
teen clearly shown, the public has
recognized the right of the companies
to exist and has accepted the higher
rate without protest.
The last few years have been years
OF. remarkable industrial development
and have made heavy plant demands
en- public service companies in addt
ton to the usual maintenance and op.
Grating requirements. These condi-
tons have been especially marked in
the telephone business, as indicated
above, and it now seems inevitable that
in many places telephone users must
accept an increase in telephone rates.
Despite the clamor that has been rails
ed against Corporations it must be
conceded that public utilities like the
telephone, electric light and gas SER
vice, are necessary, and that the COM.
lanies are entitled to a fair profit on
the capital they lave invested. When
it can be shown that the companies are
not earning interest on their invest,
nents, the consumer cannot in justice
object to what slight increases may
be necessary to correct the condition.
Every individual or C engaged
in legitimate business is entitled to a
reasonable proft.-Goodwin's Weekly.
