Competition or Regulation?

pendents to buy property far below its
cost or its present value. There may or
may not be truth in those charges. but it
is probably also true that the Western
district, like many others, has been in
tested by numerous half baked, half
financed competitive telephone enterprises
that have not been able to meet run
ming expenses in competition with the
Bell lines and were willing enough to sell
out when their ventures proved to be fail
ures. Monopoly in the telephone business
appears to be entirely logical and for the
best interest of the public and the people
who invest their money in telephone en-
terprises. Likewise it appears to be inev-
liable and all that is necessary to secure
the best service under monopoly is intel
igent state or municipal regulation.
1.-The Bell Telephone system in the
United States now includes 7,500,000 tele-
phone stations which is three times the
number in 1905 and double the number of
1907. In the past six years its wire mile
age has extended from $3.50, 900 to a.
10000. Its property assets from $780,
100000 to $3.50, 100000. The system serves
10000 communities, or 5000 more than
are. reached by the postoffice and 10000
OF which contain no railroad stations. 1t
would seem more than pity to disrupt
such an instrument of public service
The remedy that may exist for any evils
of the business lie not in competition but
in regulation. THE Voter, Chicago, Sep
