phone Business and Permitting
consol lldations.
Columbus. q. (specialD Tele
phone users ia Ohio are taking real
interest ia the Yount senate bill
which proposes to regulate every de
tail VI the telephone business Ia Tie
state.
Members OF the legislature are re
ceivlns letters from all parts Of Ohio
from active business conceIns who
use two telephone systems. from iu
sttutions that do much long distance
telepnoning. and from individuals in
the city aud ON the farm who make
use OF but one telephone. The writ
ers ask that mergers +e permitted.
and some of them say combinations
should be made compulsory.
The argument advanced by tele
phone users In favor OF the Yount
bill Is that with regulation uf the
business tie now warring interests
may be permitted. II not compelled,
to merge their enterprises. There is
no one who denies the advantages OF
regulation VI competition in the tele-
phone field. Two telephone compa.
niles In u community mean q duplica.
tion of plants. management and ex
pense. and division OF the service
and revenue. Unless "A telephone user
now patronizes the two telephone
companies he does not get fun and
complete service. aud II he does sub
scribe TO both phones be is put TO
an increased expense TO set full ser
vice, for the reason chat thcre IS an
absolute duplication Of capital and
charges must be made high enough
10 take care OF operating e&penses
and profit on the two distinct enter
prises.
To the person who uses but one
phone a merger means more than TO
the two telephone subscriber The
one 'Dhone user IS limited In service
under present conditions. but il two
companies were merged and II ac-
cess was possible to the patrons OF
both lines at reasonable cost the
small user would be the big gamer.
Strict Regulation Provided
Inasmuch as there is no tenable
argument against the proposition to
permit consolidation of telephone
companies the only issue before the
general assembly in the cons.dera-
tion of the Yount bill is whether the
people will be protected. Consolida-
tions and mergers without due con
sideration for the rights Of telephone
patrols should not be permitted 1t
is claimed for the Yount bin that It
gives to the people absolute control
over the telephone business Of the
state, through state telephone com.

The trst demand Of telephone users
Is that a good service be given al a
