GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
WOULD REDUCE TELEGRAPH ]
RATES FIFTY PER CENT
b. s.. INVESTIGATION SHOWS BENEFITS WOULD FOL-
PARTNIENT.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 90.
Cheaper rates and better SER
vice would be the result of gov
eminent supervision or ownership
of the telegraph. This is the con-
clusion of the investigation made
by the bureau of labor under the
supervision of Commissioner Chas.
s. Neill.
The governments conclusions
come at a time quite opportune
for answering certain statements
recently put into circulation by Of
ficiais of the telegraph companies.
In all countries where the tele-
graph Is owned or managed by
the government the service is bet
ter and the rates are lower than
in the United States. But the
simplest and fairest comparison
is that drawn from the experience
of Australia.
In the United States we have
postoffice for every 1000 per-
sons and telegraph station for
every 5000. In Australia there
is postoffice for every $50 per-
sons and telegraph station for
every 1900 persons. We with a
population of S5,000,O00 have
about $4,000 telegraph stations
while Australia with a population
of 100000 has above 5000
telegraph stations. In Australia
practically every postoffice is a
telegraph station. The telegraph
is run as an incident of the pos
tai service. If we had telegraph
offices in our postoffices we would
have 1000 telegraph offices in
stead of $4,000.
How much cheaper telegraph
ing is in Australia than the Unit
ed States appears in glance at
the following, which are the Aus
tralian rates:
For town and suburban mess
ages-suburbah meaning practi-
cally a radius of ten miles be-
yond the city limits-the rate fix
ed Is IL cents for a message not
exceeding 16 words, which in
cludes the address and signature.
For messages to any point with
In the same state from which they
are sent the charge is fixed at
IL cents for the same number of
words.
For messages to any other state
within the commonwealth the
charge for message of rsimilar
length Is "a cents. In all cases
the charge for extra words be-
yond the 16 is a uniform rate of
cents a word. Delivery is made
within a radius of one mile from
the receiving office and for this
there is no extra charge.
1t is interesting to compare the
Australian rate with the rate in
the United States. For example,
the rate on a 20-word message
from Washington, d. c., to Birm-
ingham, Ala, is 30 cents. Under
the Australian system it would be
22k cents. From Washington,
d. c., to Prescott, Ariz., our rate
is a dollar. In Australia the
same service would cost 80 cents.
From Washington to Chicago our
rate is so cents, the Australian
rate would be 22k cents; from
washington to Tacoma, our rate is

TOKYO, Jan. 22.-At the open

Katsura, in a speech in the up

citation of the recent exchange of
notes with America, saying that
it would remove a source of mu-

of all Oriental questions.
He gave voice to the conviction
that an alliance with England, an

would be exchanged with Japan
resulting in the internal peace of
Asia.
He expressed firm determine

The mileage of the members of

back to their homes is paid by
the state at the rate of 10 cents
a mile each way, despite the fact
that the actual cost is never over
four cents. This is one of the old
