SAYING THE RIGHT THING.

y don't seem to be able to say the
right thing to women" bashful
young man confided to US the other
day, "and that's why 1 don't shine IN
society. I'll tell you an instance of it.
Not long ago l met woman hadn't
seen for years. and 1 could see that
she was trying to keep young. So
thought I'd say a grateful thing &c
her.
"'You carry your age remarkably
well,' says l.
well the moment I said 1t could
see that l was in wrong. She was
looking chilly and getting red, so
said:
Don't mind my little jokes
never mean what I say. AS a matter
of fact you don't carry your age a Bit
WE'LL
And then she killed me with G
naughty look and sailed away with
out saying good-by. Say, how should
have put it?" Cleveland Plain Deal.

ONE COMPANY is CHEAPER.

What appears as an unusual tele-
phone deal has been consummated at
La Grande. The Independent COM
pany which has been operating in
Union and wallowa counties has DUR
chased the business of the Bell peo-
pie, all save the long distance toll
line. and henceforth the people will
not have to maintain two companies.
Commenting upon the deal the La
Grande Observer said
La Grande is to be freed from a
dual telephone system, which by the
way, Is the meanest double tax that
can be imposed upon any community.
This was brought about by S. D.
Grove manager Of Home Independ-
ent Telephone company which con-
Germ takes over all the Bell property
Ia Union and Wallowa counties, ex-
cept the long distance trunk toll line.
1T means that La Grande people
will no longer be forced to hire two
telephones-that service will be i'm
proved and general Improvement will
be made on the physical plant.
"a telephone system is a natural
monopoly and instead Of granting Sec
end franchises authorities should 50
regulate one system that it will not
be brutal in its treatment of the pub
lie and then discourage any second
concern.
The deal just closed represents a
Large amount Of capital: it is one of
the few instances upon record where
the Bell company sells its exchange
and business and quits a field, for the
Bell company has ever been buyers
Instead Of sellers. To the credit OF
5. D. Grove, be it said, a deal has
been consummated through his ef-
forts that has been tried in many cit
les Of the United States and failed. He
has been pitted against the best legal
talent in the nation employed by the
Bell company and the contract enter
ed into has been picked to pieces many
times. Mr.. Grove has stood for one
proposition and one only, which he
finally got, and as result this city
will be rid OF second system for
which the people are truly glad"
1t is true as the Observer points ou,
that dual telephone system means
double tax and it is also true that a
dual system is inconvenient From
the Observers story It would seem
that La Grande will still have a dual
system to a certain extent since the
Bell company win have the long dis.
lance business while the independent
line will have the city exchange How
will this arrangement work? Is 4,
not possible It will result in incon-
vcniences7 II would seem so and tina,

economy nor could there be any
shifting of responsibility from one

The telephone business is a natural
monopoly. To get the best service
there should be single company and
the service and rates of that conf
pany should be regulated by a public
service commission. either city or
state.
