An Open Letter to the
Telephone Using Public

Denver, Colo. November 30, 1913,
The Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph Company, in the consider.
alton of its future development, recog-
nizes that its highest interests as a
public utility lie in establishing the
closest and most friendly relationship
with the public generally, and with
its patrons in particular; therefore, it
is the purpose Of The Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
through this announcement, to inau
gurate what may be termed an advor
tising educational series of articles,
both in the newspapers and in the
form OF letters to It's customers. 1t is
our hope that this campaign may mark
new era in the relation of public
utility corporations to the public they
serve. We want this education TO
work both ways-that the public may
learn the truth about us, and that we
may learn how the public regard us,
and how we may fairly and efficiently
serve tho public-in other words, what
is just and right TO us and to the peo.
pie, and to convince the public that
we will voluntarily remedy any wrongs
VIC are doing. if pointed out to US.
We shall show you our financial af-
fairs, frankly and freely. 1t so hap
pens that our financing has been of
such nature that it is easy for us TO
clearly show TO you this side of our
affairs, What we mean by this is. that
we have absolutely no water In our
stock; we have no bonds, nor any pre-
ferred stock, and no mortgage of any
kind upon which to pay fixed charges
We have more invested in our plant
at its present replacement value than
our issue of common stock, and we
have no other stock issued than the
common stock. There are no wheels
within wheels, nor companies within
companies, to absorb profits. We
f'nance ourselves from year to year
by selling our common stock to the
people, at not less than par, in the
states in which we operate
When we tell you the story of our
iihdHCipBI we VIII prove TO you that |
there never have been any fortunes, |
large or small, made out OF the manip. |
ulation of our stock-in other words, |
no high financing has ever been done
in connection with The Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph Com.
pany, or its predecessors. The stock
never has had any speculative value,
1t has been, and is now, simply a safe
investment.
There is a great Misunderstanding
upon the part of the public as to this
side of our business. Persons with
ulterior motives, striving for office,
and newspapers wishing to give star
thing news (see note below frequently
publish stories of how rich certain
officials Of our company are Right
now, this is being done in connection
with the new revenue tax. We sup
pose these stories grow out OF the
belief Of certain Of the public that the
executive officials Of our company own

REGULATION OF COLD STORAGE.
The bill which Representative Nc

The bill which Representative Nc
Kellar of Tennessee is framing TO gov
crn the cold storage of food is a nat.
ural addition to the pure food laws
We can remember the great opposition
that was directed against all pure food
measures fifteen and twenty years
ago When the national pure food
laws were finally passed and we began
TO experience the good effects OF their
regulations, VIC wondered that such
statutes had been delayed 80 long.
The earlier pure food provisions dealt
with the natural or the manufactured
products, and little or no attention was
paid to cold storage. The benefits of
cold storage seemed to outweigh the
possible evil. It was regarded as
great boon for mankind, and there was
little disposition to interfere with its
growth. Soon, however, the owls be-
gan to assume threatening proportions,
and the public TO realize that cold stor.
age was an aid 10 monopoly and high
prices, and, moreover, that foods placed
on the market out OF cold storage
often were tainted and seldom as nutri-
tive and appetizing az tho natural
product
It would be impossible to abolish
civilization. If we complain OF high
prices now as a result of the system,
we would find more reason to complain
should the system ne done away with
entirely. In order to provide vast popu
lations with food. cold storage has be-
packers hold their goods in times of
plenty so that they may charge high
prices in times of scarcity, but il is also
true that if the surplus were not held
over into the lean days the scarcity
would be intensified to the point OF
famine.
In passing any laws against cold stor-
age, therefore, the beneficcnt results
OF the system VIII be taken into con
sidcration. Even the Democrats will
not insist on smashing the trust
but viii seek only to regulate it, Rep
resentativc McKellar's bill will penal |
ize agreements for storage, pooling,
division of territory, interference with
competition or other restraint of trade
in foodstuffs, and will set limits on
the time during which meat, fish, eggs, |
poultry, game and butter may be kept !
IN cold storage. 1t provides also that |
cold storage articles must be labeled |
with the dates Of production, killing,
storage. It would place a ban or the |
thawing out Of products, and would |
have special regulations made by the
department OF agriculture as further
protection
All this is a laudable attempt to |
eliminate evils that are crying out for |
remedy. The trust methods are espe- |
cislly onerous because they add to the
high cost Of living 1t is widely be-
lieved that middlemen, such as packers
and cold storage people generally, are
taking too many and too great profits. |
By interfering with competition and |
by imposing restraints on trade in food
stuffs. vast number OF unnecessary
middlemen are brought into existence.
and statutes directed against these
evils are apt TO throw out Of business
a considerable number of middlemen,
and thereby bring the producer and con-
sumer into moro direct dealing on a
more economical basis.

DEATH OF BILL co NNOLLY


Editor John Connolly of the New Eng.
land Herald. formerly with the PRESS,
had this to say of the death of his
brother last week:
Being called upon to write the obitu-
airy of ones own brother, and to do that
three days before the funeral services
and the LAST sad rites can be performed.
is the only hard task the writer evel
had. On New Years eve we announc-
ed to a number of friends that four Con-
molly brothers were planning on having
a jolly reunion the next day. when We
expected Tom and Bill over from Bow
man. Our first thought on waking in
the morning was that Tom and Bill
would have a windy drive in making
the trip across country in an automo-
bile. We were planning more especial
ly on Bills account. Bill had been
homesteading down near Ekalaka. Mon
tana. for about " years and we were
going to do our best to make him have
a good time. He had it coming.
Bill and Mart had always been great
chums, going 10 school together, playing
ball together, in fact they were always
together until coming out from Vermont.
They are together now. going back to
the old home on the same train. some
thing they planned or doing this wear.
Not the homecoming the father and
mother and the sisters and brothers
planned and hoped for. Bill left home
three years ago. a strong healthy young
man, not quite twenty-one years old,
the baby of the family. to make his
home in the new country where his
brothers were prospecting. Bill fitted it
nicely. made friends every day. and
was doing we'll on his homestead. He
had just gotten over the toughest and
better times were in sight.
AS it is the will of the Divine Master
that our brother should meet this un-
timely death. we must 60 on with our
tasks and reconcile ourselves to the be-
reavement as best we may. although
the gloom which has settled about us
seems unbearable. still we feel thank
full that we were spared our other BROTH
er who ven through the same fire and
who risked his life to saw his brother's
and is now lying in bed suffering with
the burns received while so doing. We
pray that Bill will receive his reward
in Heaven and that the Lord will grant
Tom a speedy recovery.
