THE AUTOMATIC TGIgPhoNe.
For good many years the Chicago
public had ample opportunity to oh.
serve what telephone monopoly meant
In the way Of service.
The rates had been raised several
times-and threats OF another raise
were being made. There was talk Of
abolishing certain forms Of residence
service. The public was treated with
scant courtesy. There were intermin'
able delays In changing old phones
and installing new ones.
Then came the automatic telephone,
bringing with 1t the much needed
spur of competition.
What happened?
Immediately the utmost efforts to
improve the manual service were
made.
But It is a cold, hard fact that these
efforts have been to large degree
unsuccessful. 1t Is simply physical
impossibility to make manual service
come anywhere near the remarkable
efficiency OF the automatic.
The reason is obvious. The auto.
matte is a higher development Of the
Telephone principle.
It has eliminated the huge cost and
great uncertainty of the human
operator.
1t has made telephoning secret.

Automatic telephone service has re

And all this In the face OF one o,

Instructive Franchise Ideas

and retiring the capital of the utility cor
poration. That would eventually free the
property of debt and transfer the oWner-
ship title to the city-since the private in
v,estoas would have received all the money
they put In and would have received in
terest on the money while it was In.
Or, after thus retiring the capital and
bonds for n certain period so as to leave g.
good margin of va.ie above the indebted
ness. the CITY could purchase by paying the
bonds in the place of the bonds and cap
ital stock Of the corporation still out
standing.
Mr.. Wilcox contends that municipal pur-
chase on a large scalc-purciiase of such
a utility as a street 1ailway-ls now prac-
ticaliy impossible. His contention further
Is mat it will not be possible until the
cities insist on this retirement of pub
He utility obligations as they now pro-
vide for the retirement, or paying OFF, of
municipal Indebtedness.
For these reasons he is convinced that
rates for a public utility service should
be high enough TO give good service, to
extend the service adequately to the
growth of the city, and TO provide the
iund Tor the city's gradually acquiring the
property. This prevents using any part
OF the income from the plant for the bene-
tt of the general taxpayers. Inasmuch
as the corporation, during the time of it's
franchise, gets only a fair interest on
genuine investment. the corporation, of
course. does not make any more no mat
rter what the rate charged for the service
may be. lf the rate is high enough to
provide the fund for municipal acquisi-
ton the people get the benefit In that
form.
The question for them to determine is
whether they want it In that form or want
it in the form Of lower rates of Charge
rates so low that they will not provide
a sinking fund for municipal purchase.

From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
Authoritative opinion. resulting from ex-
perience, is that the best public utility
franchise is a contract which can be ter
minated at any time by municipal pur-
chase upon fair terms. But, obviously.
the good of such an arrangement depends
upon the real ability of the city to buy.
buys or never buys: because, although
the municipality may never exert Its
power of purchase, the fact that 1T has
it and can exert it holds the owners of
the franchise TO the square deal. Also.
unless the power exists, the nominal right
upon the franchise wners.
Now comes MIR. Delos Il. Wilcox, the
New York practical expert in franchise
matters, and %propounds a clear method by
which municipal ownership becomes pos
sible, at the same time that the public
financial operations. Mr.. Wilcox's plan
Is that all revenue, over enough to give
really adequate service and to extend the
service properly and to operate and main
tain the plant should be applied first to
the payment of a reasonable interest on
the capital invested and, second, to pay
ing off that capital. Paying off the
capital means in effect municipal pur-
chase on the installment plan. And that
means that the installments shall come
out of the income of the utility itself.
Mr.. WilcoM's basic doctrine is that the
streets of a city are not the proper sub-
ject of speculation. He maintains that
street railway service. say, is not some
thing for persons to get rich on. Its Sc
curities should be like municipal bonds
absolutely. gilt edged and paying only a
moderate interest rate on money actually
invested. So, all the surplus profits
should go to the city and Should be APP
piled by the city to paying off the bonds
