This expression of the views of the
head OF the great telephone and tele-
graph organization is throughout
imDued with the thought that cor
poration by placing itself under eff
fectiye governmental regulation moi
only is forced to give the public ef-
seetiSe and satisfactory service al
fair rates, but is protected on Its
own part from attempts to impose
Unfair conditions upon its opera
,tlons. Such unfair treatment of the
corporation by the public is shown
to be an injury to the thousands
who invest in the securities of such
corporations. In other words, Pres
ident Vail expressed the wish of a
great corporate interest to dea,
fairly with those it serves, and only
asks in turn fair measure OF gov
ernment protection for its invest
ments and its stockholders.
Government regulation is urged
also as protection to the investors
through the publicity which is nee
essary accompaniment of 'ch con
troll. and which is assurance to in
vestors that they are not being
made the victims of stock jobbers.
