NORRIS SUGGESTS
NEW PHONE SCALE
Nebraska Senator Declares
Local Rates Too High CON-
pared With Other Cities.
WILL TRY LEGISLATION
IF COMMISSION FAILS
Believes Company Which Enjoys
Monopoly Should Be Able to
Charge Less for Service.

new scale of charges for telephone
service in the District was suggested to-
day by Senator Norris of Nebraska
author of the resolution recently adopted
by the Senate calling upon the public
utilities commission to investigate the
business of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company.
If the public utilities commission is
unable to cope with the situation said
Senator Norris, who has asserted en-
phatically that he believed the charges
by the telephone company in the Dis
trict to be exorbitant, Il will try By
legislation to remedy the present ills. 1
believe that every person using a tele-
phone should pay just amount for the
actual calls he makes. Under the present
system of limited and unlimited con-
tracts for telephone service this is not
now accomplished.
Il think that there should be first of
all a fiat rate for the installation of a
telephone, say one dollar. Then there
should be a charge made for every call
made by the party having the telephone.
This charge should be small. perhaps only
a penny or two. Perhaps it would be
fairer to have this charge per call les
creases. In this way l think that more
justice in the matter of telephone charges
would be brought about.
Since the passage of my resolution
calling for an investigation l have re-
ceived considerable information regarding
the charges for telephone service in other
cities. / find that the charges in Wash
ington are very high. compared to other
cities of the same size. Where more than
one telephone system is doing business in
a single city. the charges are about one
half as much as where there is a single
company with a monopoly. such as exists
in Washington. But even in those other
business. the rates are much higher than
In Washington.
Sees Benefit in Monopoly.
DO not understand me as favorng
competition and more than one telephone
company in a single city. however For
it is only by having monopoly that the
public can be given the best telephone
service. But / do believe that a COM
pany which has monopoly should be
able to charge less rates than would be
charged by competing companies. which
must divide the business between them.
lone of the matters which the public
utilities commission has been directed to
look into is the fact that the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company is
owned by the Bell Telephone Company.
which i'm turn is owned by the American
Telephone Company. and that the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Company owns other
companies doing business in Maryland
and Virginia. What is the use of this
maze of corporations unless ii is to con-
ceal what is done with the earnings of
the companies? Each one of these cor
porationS. | believe gets rake-on But
the public does not know OF this This
should be shown UP in the investigation

Safeguarding a Necessity.

Attention was also called TO the
claim that when the New Year custom
was first inaugurated Washington was
a. comparatively small city and the
Presidents knew the great majority of

NOT TO OBSERVE
ANNUAL CUSTOM
President Wilson Calls Off
New Year Day Reception
at White House.
EXPECTS TO SEEK REST
FROM OFFICIAL LABORS
Belief Prevails That the Public
Function Will Be Perma-
nently Discontinued.

The White House today Cancelled the
next New Year reception upon the ground
that President Wilson has had no vaca-
tion and intends to be away from Wash
fngton at that time. and the belief strong
~ prevails that this means the abolition
of the time-honored custom that has been
the central function of Washington for
so many years.
In fact. there is practically little reason
to believe there will be a New Year re-
ception at the White House during the
regime of President Wilson, no matter
how many years he remains as chief ex-
ecutive
The authoritative announcement on the
subject is follows:
The usual New Year reception of the
President will not be held January /,
1914 The departure from custom on this
occasion Is due to the fact that the
President will not be in Washington at
that time Owing to the long session of
Congress. the President has had no vaca-
tion since his Inauguration. As the ap-
preaching session of Congress will be the
long session. the only opportunity for
the President to secure rest will be
during the usual holiday recess of Con-
greSS-''
Matter of Speculation Only.
No announcement was made as to
where President Wilson will be Janu-
ary l. or how long he will be absent
from Washington. but he probably will
accept the invitation of some friend to
spend portion of the Christmas holi-
DAYS at some quiet place III the cOun-
Try. away from cities and politics and
statesmen and oftce-seekers. The Presi-
dent has desired to go to Panama, but
Recently came TO the conclusion that
he would not go there until the OPEN
ing of the canal in January. 1915.
~ IS expected that a year from the
coming New Year will find the Presi-
dent the central figure in the worlds
greatest event. the opening to commerce
OF the biggest canal ever constructed.
After that. on other New Years, other

For many years officials of the White
