THE TELEPHONE MERGER.

The telephone merger here is the
legitimate outcome Of the absorption
Of the Independent Telephone property
by the Rocky Mountain Bell company.
| Evidently further absorptions and mer'
gers were in order Accordingly, this
whole mountain region has now been
| consolidated into one Bell Telephone
company, and the Mountain States
Telephone G. Telegraph company is the
result Denver is the headquarters OF
this new combination, which is an ex'
ceedingly strong one. The capitnliza'
tion is s5O,ooOoo0, and doubtless the
new and powerful combination will be
able to hold the field against all rivals
or trespassers.
The statement by President Field is
that the merger is in no sense a trust
or monopoly. and that no competing
concerns are included, this evidently
being of date since the absorption OF
the Independent properties In salt
Lake, and relating to companies and
franchises rather than properties. The
financial statement appears to be frank
and complete so far as the operations
of the company are concerned Inc
safety of the investment is abundantly
shown, and the capitalization is made
moderate. In the words of President
Field, "the safety Of the investment
is increased, and the benefit to The
public is alike apparent, since 1t IN
sures moderate and reasonable rates 10
care for the decreased dividend ana
interest requirements
Accordingly, we should expect as the
lcpj innate result Of the favorable imam
cial showing made by President Field
that at least there will be no increase
in telephone rates, and there might pos
sibly be decrease That would seem
the legitimate result of the strong plea
which he makes in behalf of the mod
crate capitalization, the financial sta
bility, and the security Of investment
in the new ombination,
The merger is move of the highest
Importance throughout all of this
mountain region. 1t will affect closely
and individually more persons than al
most any other merger that could be
imagined. The Tribune trusts that
the relations Of the new company with
all of its patrons will be of the most
pleasant and friendly character, and
that the service will be improved as
President Field shows that the finan-
cial basis of the company has been
strengthened.
