against the quarantine.
In the case of certain provinces in
Canada and certain countries and dis
tricts of Europe, the officials here be-
lievo the absolute prohibition can be
lifted in time to allow the movement of
the present years crop, under regula-
ton and inspection which, under the
secretarys order, is similar to that for
nursery stock.
In statement accompanying the or
ders. the department announced that
the present potato excitement is APP
parently due to a misunderstanding of
the yield of this year.
The department experts estimate the
crop at 331, ,525, 900 bushels, which the
statement says, sis considerably above
the 10-year average and exceeds the
annual food and planting consumption
OF potatoes in the United States. The
present supply in farmers hands is
large.

VERY SERIOUS

Pres. Wilson Orders That

Washington, Dec. 22.-President Will

"a very serious reprimand be admins
tered to those army and navy officers
who participated in the recent dinner

The letter follows:

a feeling of great disappointment that
the general body of officers assembled

carrying out of such a program with
apparent Indifference to the fact that
it violated some of the must dlgnihed
and sacred traditions of the service.

what is their idea Of duty? If they do

MY purpose, therefore, in admins
terlng this reprimand is to recall the

rates compare with those of other
countries even less favorably than do
our telegraph rates. 1t is not unfair
or inaccurate to say that the Arneri-
can inter- urban telephone rates are
the scandal of public service rates the
world over. The American telephone
monopoly takes the 18th place among
II countries with regard to the low
ness of these rates.
"The local rates of the Bell Tele-
phone monopoly are just twice the aV-
erage charge in other countries con-
tinued Mr.. Lewis. while our postal
rates give us the first rank, in low
ness of charges, this company ranks
but fourteenth among sixteen coun-
tries, with it's local charges, and we
are one of three countries where the
charge per local call exceeds the let
ter postage rate, the other IL coun-
tries giving a much lower per phone
call than their letter rates.
THE subscribers rates in American
cities, compared with continental
cities, are about three times as high.
For example, New York, where 54O0
calls about Is per day, under a
measured service tariff, cost more
than the four unlimited yearly rates
of London, Paris, Berlin and Stock
holm together. For like service Bal
timore people pay more than the rates
for London and Paris combined and
Washington pays as much as the five
cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam,
Auckland, Toxic and Copenhagen
combined In postal-telephone coun-
tries the local toll tariffs tend to run
about one half the charge for a let
ter, where here 1t runs with the street
car fare and sometimes exceeds It,
when 1t is three times the letter rate
while competition does not supply
a remedy because it divides the ser
vice and necessitates the payment for
two phones, yet it throws an inter-
esting side light on the tendency of a
private monopoly to jack up the rates
Thus of so of the great American
cities, "a averaging 942,4S6 in popu-
lation, pay an average annual phone
rate of $53 under competition; while
the other 33 cities averaging but lSS,-
629 in population, without competition
pay an average rate of $S1. Since
competition can only augment the to-
tai cost of operating, it is apparent
how private monopoly and high rates
go hand in hand.
1T will be unnecessary to take over
the telegraph lines here capitalized al
$240, 600, ,000) as both kinds OF com
munication can be handled on the tel
ephone wires, which exceed the tele-
graph wires In mileage and geographl-
cal distribution.
THE cost of acquiring the telephone
networks is indicated as something
less than 5000, ,oOO.O 900. for which it is
proposed to issue three per cent
bonds, payable in so years. 1t is cal
culated that the postal system by su-
perimposing the telegraph service or
the telephone lines at half present tel
