TELEPHONE A PUBLIC NECESSITY
USEFUL EVERY DAY, HELPFUL OFTEN,
AND INDISPENSABLE MOST ALWAYS

road station gives farmers. planters
opportunity for communication with
the outside world and with each
other which no other improvement
could effect For the far.sighted
man who has phone connections It
means keeping in touch with all the
affairs OF his community; the man
who has not yet installed a telephone
in his home has access to the sta
ton telephone at all times-for him
II is rea! boon.
The American farmer has received
boom whose effects are bound to
be felt on his condition before very
long. The rural telephones annihi-
late distances. Perhaps Mr.. Farmer
wants to buy new agricultural imple-
ments. The weather is bad. But
does that deter him? Not II he has
his phone on the wall, and even II
he hasn't, there's one at the railroad
station. II has TO be. The law says
so. So your up-to-dste agricultural
list does his shopping by phone.
But perhaps there's a fire. Maybe
the hay in the barn is going fast. II
your farmer runs down the road to
get his neighbors TO come to his
aid. nothing will be left when he gets
back, If he calls up this man. then
that, then another, he can still be
fighting the blaze when the good
neighbors come Gathering up and
I help him save his house aud perhaps
his stock. This question Of fire pro
lection forms the most vital argument
for the telephone. II Is no idle guess
work to say that thousands of fires
In the rural sections have been
quenched because the owner had a
good. reliable phone around the
house. There's danger in doing with.
out one and that argument ought to
be driven home tefore something
happens to cause regret that there
wasn't phone in the house
I The telephone is useful every day
is helpful very often; is indlspensa.
BILE at times, and is always on duty.

! Courts ana legislatures are DeHln-
ming to give official recognition to
the public necessity Of telephones.
even in out OF the way places and
far from the centers Of population
1t has long been recognized that the
phone is handy. convenient and even
Indispensable. Now. however, it is
Illegal for certain corporations not
to provide telephone facilities for the
public. Nothing but public demand
could have brought this about Rep
resentatives Of the people IN courts
and Assem- lies merely are reflecting
popular opinion when they give Off.
! cial recognition to the call for uni.
versal telephone communication.
I lowa's General Assembly furnished
perhaps the most striking example
OF this. when the following. very
broad in its scope. was enacted last
month:
1T shall be the duty OF all railway
companies on all lines of railways
operated by them to install a tele-
) phone In each passenger or freight
) depot in any city or town where a
telephone exchange is maintained for
; public service. Said telephone to lo
connected with and for the use Of
the patrons of said exchange, and II
shall be the further duty of all rail
) way companies on all lines operated
by them to keep posted in the wait
ing room of each passenger station
) bulletin plainly showing the time
of arrival and departure at such
station of all trains carrying passen
gers.
This provision repealed section
; 2o77 of the supplement to the code
of 1907.
The governor stamped his official
approval on the measure and ii Is
now a law of the state.
Something similar. though an iso-
. lated case, Is found in Oklahoma The
Corporation Commission of that state
recently held that II Is the duty Of
a railway corporation to supply a tel
ephone for the convenience of It's
patrons. and the ruling was upheld
. by the Supreme Court OF the state.
) The Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe
. road was ordered by the Commission
TO equip its station at Skedee. Okla
. homa. with a phone. The Suprem.
. Court in upholding this ruling stated
/. that the telephone Is an indispensa.
. BILE aid In the conduct OF the bust
) ness OF a common carrier The State
. Commission had already held tina,
. the telephone is as essential 10 the
. comfort and convenience OF passen.
, gers AZ the operation OF the trains.
Railroad commissions In both Vir.
|, ginia and Nebraska have ruled that
} all stations In those states must be
!, equipped with telephones. So II can
/, be seen that the new law In Iowa is
, not at all an innovation. sweeping
. though II may be. The demand for
. the public telephone. which has thus
/. been furthered by state officials. has
. gone hand In hand with the spread
J. Of the private phone. 1t Is the tel
, ephone In the home, on the farm. or
