BELL COMP A|yY'S
ANNUAL REPORT

The equipment OF the exchanges OF
the whole is either the same as, or
is modelled upon that of the Bell
System. No construction, equipment
or operating methods rejected or
Suppressed" by the engineering ex-
perts of the Bell System have ever
yet come into prominent use.
The profits on Western Electric
sales to the operating companies of
the Bell System are less than on
sales to the independent companies,
1t is also shown that the telephone
service and the telegraph service arc
complementary, not competitive;
that joint use and joint occupancy
of wires will reduce operating cost,
maintenance charges and construc.
,tion investment. That utilizing the
untitled facilities OF both will
make possible new, additional and
useful services OF both telephone and
telegraph, for the benefit o,
both corporations and the public.

Tine following condensed sum
mary of some OF the things shown
in the annual report of the directors
of the American Telephone and Tel
egraph Company Cthe BelD to the
stockholders just made public is
made with the purpose of taking
away any excuse for further repeti-
ton of publication of those mis-
statements, distorted facts and erro-
ueous conclusions which, for various
reasons, are circulated from time to
tine.
The total outstanding obligations
of the Bell System in the United
States. not including the manufac-
turing company, amount 10 $780,
100000.
/, The book value of property repre-
ssenting these outstanding obligaV
tons is s696,7OO,OOO, $116,OOO, 900
in excess OF the outstanding obliga-
lions.
There is no water in the capital OF
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company; the excess OF cash
paid into the treasury over the out
standing obligations at the close OF
the year amounted to nearly ST.
100000.
The cost of construction, including
toll lines, per exchange station has
steadily decreased from $4,000 IN
1900 to $4,000 in 1910.
There has been a continual de-
crease Of the average annual charge
for exchange service from an aver.
age Of $44.6S to $,31y2S IN 1910.
The taxes paid in the year 1910 by
the Bell System amounted to over 5
per cent OF its gross earnings, 1854
I per cent of its net earnings, and II
per cent of the value of its telephone.

The control Of the company is not
vested in any one interest nor has
lit been used for the benefit OF any
individual group OF individuals.
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company is not in the accepted
sense a trust nor has it been built up
7 by absorbing competing companies.
While the Bell System is made up of
separate corporations, these corpo-
ratiOns are not, never have been, and
never could be in competition. IN
der any system OF organization or
under one ownership, separate COM
panies are necessary for the pur-
pose of state jurisdiction.

telephone system cannot have any
operating limits, but must give un-
broken, continuous, connecting cir

Bona fide competition between To-
cal exchanges cannot exist, owing tol
the peculiarities of the service rem

MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION OF
SEATTLE THREATENS TO BOY
COTT THE RECEPTION IL HE
LAYS CORNER STONE OF THE
UNITARIAN CHURCH.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.I

Bellingham, Wash, Sept. 2O.-An-
other knot was added to the tangles
already surrounding Taft day in this
city when it became known this
morning that the Ministerial Associa-
| tion had practically gone on record
as being adverse to allowing It's rep
resentatiye to occupy the speakers
platform, should his proposed inten-
tion of attending the laying of the
corner stone of the new chapel hall
of the First Unitarian society be full
filled.
The Ministerial Association, be-
wteen which and Pastor Fred Albin
We'll, of the First Unitarian society,
and in fact Unitarians in general,
there is no affection wasted, did not
take a formal vote on this decision,
but expressed it in no uncertain
terms with a view to reconsidering it
for decisive action at the next meet
ing.
President Taft, as is well known,
is a confirmed Unitarian, to which
the Ministerial Association has no OBJ
lection. but it does seriously dislike
tlc lued VI lut pItSluEuL lndhluS d
campaign tour and being entertained
at the city's expense and at the same
time rendering himself as the main
attraction at the corner stone laying
of chapel belonging to a denomina-
ton which the Ministerial Associa-
tion has frequently taken occasion to
point to with much uncomplimentary
criticism.
We'll, his religion and his following
have been subjected unfavorable
comment quite a few times from the
pulpits of certain members of the
Ministerial Association, and he has
never in local way replied in kind,
but at the conference at Boston last
summer he did unloosen few opinions
regarding the attacks made on his
faith. These came to Bellingham in
the shape of clippings and have by
rno means been a factor toward
bridging the chasm already existing
between We'll and the Ministerial AS
sociation.
