LANE Tells EN-
WHAT IS WHAT
Says Telephone Using Public
Will Have to Pay the
Tax Anyway.
THREE HOURS OF TALK
\ NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED TO-
WARD SOLVING PROBLEM.

FL Vance Lane, president of the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone company. threat
ened the council committee of the whole
last evening that l. the city enforced the
raise it's rates
You must know" said Mr. Lane. that
the telephone-using public will have to
pay the tax anyway. The company is al
ways willing 10 reduce its rates If posi-
Bile, but IL objects 10 burdensome restric-
lions"
The council met informally to discuss
the matter of adjusting the license ques-
tion, but as usual, after three hours OF
talk, no action was taken.
Toward the close of the meeting Coun-
Gilman l.. ID. Martin moved that IL be
the sense of the meeting that the Bell
company be required to furnish fifty free
telephones and pay ! per cent of its gross
earnings, provided the license ordinance
should be repealed. The repeal would free
the Independent company from the license
tax also. but that concern under its fran
chise pays per cent of its gross earnings
to the city.
IF that motion is carried" declared
Councilman Hail. 1T will not be accepted
by the company. as 1t does not state that
this agreement shall be Fin lieu of any flu
ture license tax which may be enforced.
If the words in lieu are put In the mo-
ton II will tie the hands of the council
for twenty-five years. / am opposed TO
the scheme on that account"
4 I'VE can settle these details later on"
vanswered Martin.
IF these people give up l per cent of
their gross earnings they certainly want
an offset" put in Councilman Reedan.
THE offset will be "A relief from this
eternal squabbling." replied Martin.
1T won't relieve the company of the
eternal obligation of raising rates" suS-
sested President Davis.
1t was then decided to insert in the mo-
ton the provision that the company agree
not TO raise its rates during the next TWEEN
ty-fivs years.
This brought Mr.. Lane to his feet again.
"Our company Will not consider that
he said
Just what thought" interrupted Pres
ident Davis.
Such a restriction continued Mr..

Fresh From European Triumphs, the
Wild West Is Once More
Touring America.

After touring Great Britain and Cont

Buffalo Bits Wild West and Congress
OF Rough Riders of the World is home
again. Arrangements have been per-
fected for the exhibition to appear in

opened its tour this spring. the perform

ment or changes of any Sort is the prom
Use OF the management.
Buffalo Bill has been abroad so long
that his homecoming affords what is
practically a novelty in arenic entertain
ment. During his absence the little folks
have grown into youths and young ladies.
and those who saw the exhibition years
ago will take equal interest in seeing IL
all over again. There will be real nov
city provided in many features of the pro-
gram and two spectacular features have
been prepared as special attractions.
During the four separate tours of Eu-
rope which Buffalo Bill has made he has
presented his historical entertainment in
eighteen different countries, before
crowned heads and plebleians and, in q
vast majority of instances. where an Eng
disappearing person was a rarity
While the exhibition will be practically
new this season, the display will, of
course, conform to the general style of
entertainment which Colonel William F.
Cody C'Buffalo Bill) has always pre-
scented; in its conception and maintenance
unique as an arenic entertainment, and in
class all by itself among out-of-door
amusements.
The topping features of the program
will be the pantomimic melodrama, 1.-THE
Great Train Hold-Up'' and The Bandit
Hunters of the Union Pacific" together
with THE Battle of Summit Springs"
The Congress Of Rough Riders of the
World will constitute an important factor
in the exhibition and will present a dis
play of questrian experiences and an eXhi-
bition of nerve, skill and daring which
is sure to excite enthusiastic admiration
Horsemen of all nations will vie in feats
of fearlesSneSS, and Amercan-bred COW
boys will be not the last factor in the
stirring picture.

Lane, lis an imposition. We have moth
ing to give up but l per cent of our gross
earnings and fifty free phones"
Previously Mr.. Lane had stated that the
average rental of telephones was $2.+ a
month. and that if the license ordinance
should be enforced the company would
have to pay about $500 year. and under
the gross earnings scheme but $500.
Early in the evening Councilman Hall
brought the question to an issue by adj
vising that the city attorney be instruct
ed TO collect the tax. This was defeated
by vote of five to two, and was the only
motion on which vote was taken.
The discussion on the question was for
the most part embarrassing and simply a
reiteration of former discussions. The fl
nal motion. made by Martin, never came
to a vote because of Mr.. Lanes position.
