Somebody has said that nature col

date and never forgets TO collect the
full interest.
Nature is collecting her debts In
Ohio and Indiana just now at cost

is that nature Is collecting her debt
in a way that makes il look as II she
were II the same time teaching q

But nature never really acts In re-

She has laid down her laws and her
penalties. Whoever disobeys or dis

Nature may wait for 20 years, or
she may wait for 80 years. Again she
may cut down the time to 10 years.
But long time, or short time, she al
ways collects the penalty. she always
exacts her due, she insists upon pay
ment of the debt, and she never for

The people OF Ohio and Indiana to-

To the Editor OF The Times:
Because your paper Was the only
one In Detroit that HAD the courage
and good senbe the warn the people
OF your city to oppose the action Of
the railroad commission In wiping out
telephone competition In Detroit. the
people OF Eaton county hopo that The
Times will help us In our Aght against
the telephone trust. After the tele-
phone trust tricked the last legisla.
ture. by putting section In the Giles
law. giving the railroad commission
power To prevent competition, the
trust, taking advantage OF section
seven, raised its rates above what they
were charging In other exchanges
competing. After we had tried every
thing else and failed to get square
deal from the trust. we organised an
Independent company with nearly
every telephone user In the cOmmun-
ity holding stock. and had plenty OK
money to put In much better ex-
change than the trust exchange. Then
the railroad commissioners, who are
getting big salaries. supposedly for
guarding the interests Of the people.
made an order that we must not use
our own money to build and operate
telephone lines to connect our own
homes and places Of business. For
months the railroad commission has
been holding US down on our backs
helpless, while the telephone trust has
been picking our pockets. Many OF
our people are deprived Of this neces-
sity today. because they will 90 With
out rather than submit to being
robbed.
We have been expecting that the
present legislature would repeal this
infamous section Of the law, which
was sneaked through the legislature
two years ago. without any one except
the tools OF the telephone trust know
ing anything about Il. but when We
went up to Lansing Tuesday night we
found the room packed with tele-
phone managers and owners. II the
chairman OF the meeting was not q
corporation lawyer. he has missed his
calling, for he argued the cause OF
the trust with more ferv0r than he
could ever repeat the Lords prayer.
He arranged his program after the
trust system, which was fair upon its
face. but foul at heart He allowed
ten minutes to each speaker, which
! looked fair, but as there we're more
than twenty trust representatives, and
only I'VE or six for the people. he gave
three hours TO the trust syStem and
less than an hour to the people. He
thanked each trust speaker for his
remarks, but he was very careful to
keep every speaker for the people
within the time limit.
We were granted short interview
with Gov. Ferris. We had been In
formed that he was not In sympathy
with us on the telephone question, but
we could not believe II. Gov. Ferris
told US that we would always find
him on the side OF the people, and he
also stated that he was IN favor OF
government ownership Of telephones
have always had full faith In Gov.
Ferris and should he fail ~, may God
help us. ask The Times to lead the
hight for the Downing bill. which will
free us from the clutches Of the tele
phone trust
