FARMERS APPEAL TO THE
COMMISSION.

Some months ago there was some
talk OF organizing an independent tel
ephone company. At that time The
Tribune urged those interested to
wait until the State Utilities Commits
sion could get down to business and
perhaps the problem of telephone
service at a reasonable rate would be
solved. They waited and have now
taken up the matter with the Commits
sion. They have asked that condi-
tons be Investigated alleging that the
cost Of service to the patrons is out
OF all proportion to the cost to the
telephone company. They point out
that in the rural communities of
Franklin and Middleton that there are
only IS or 40 phones where there
should be four or FIVE hundred. The
reason for this condition is the high
cost. A rural telephone costs the
subscriber $24.OO per year; if they
were to construct and operate an in
dependent rural line the cost would
be $500 per year and there would
have to be at least eight parties on
every line. The cost OF operation and
interest on investment do not justify
such charges in the opinion of the
farmers.
During the past few years hundreds
OF independent telephone companies
have been absorbed by the big tele-
phone trust The Mountain States
Telephone & Telegraph Co. is in the
trust. Conditions reached such an
acute state in Vermont that Gov
ernor Fletcher ordered an investiga-
ton. The committee found that the
New England Telephone & Tele-
graph Co. owns or dominates the en-
tire telephone situation in Vermont,
partially by ownership of stock and
partially by vicious and unlawful traf-
6c and purchasing contracts. These
contracts give the New England COM
pany control over the rates. supplies
used, transmitters and receivers fur
nished, and territory occupied to such
a degree as to be unlawful and mo-
nopolistic. 1t found unfairness in the
division of tolls, unfairness in the
method and manner of bookkeeping.

House that no basis OF settlement OF
the issue has yet been brought out in
either of the three notes that have con-
stituted the diplomatic exchange Tins
far. This fact is taken to tndicaee
that there Is most protracted and
tedious discussion to come.
What settlement there can be has
been made even more difficult to sur
mise by the positive announcement
that the administration is not contem'
plating bringing proceedings against
the California law in the courts. IN
asmuch as the Japanese demand is Tor
the notification of the California stat.
ute, which it insists must be brought
about by the federal government, the
position of President Wilson and his
advisers Is rendered even more diff
cult.
Unless the Toxic government re-
cedes from or modifies its stand
against the California law. nothing but
its absolutS elimination will enable
Japan to withdraw with honor from
the discussion.
Statements made at the White
House lead to the surmise in some
qua IT,. that japan has made soma
novel proposal which affords basis for
the characterization of the forthcoEi-
ing negotiations as interesting. e
The Japanese note will come up for
discussion at the cabinet meeting and
1t is expected that some progress VIII
be made toward outlining the nature
Of the reply to the communication.

Washington, June 6.-Japan carried
her grievance in the California land
issue directly TO the White House. Am
bassador Chinda was granted an au
dience with the president and discuss
ed the situation with him for nearly an
hour
sShe president had read the japanese
rejoinder to the reply of the United
States to her first protest against the
California legislation and so was en-
tirely familiar with the latest presen
tation of the Japanese case. Preceding
the ambassadors arrival the president
also had half hour talk with Score
tary of State Bryan, during which the
contents of the Japanese note were
discussed.
Though not at all unprecedented
the ambassadors call at the White
Hones to discuss the issue with Presi
dent Wilson directly was regarded as
another manifestation of the desire oil
the Japanese government to press the
issue to conclusion at nearly date
It is understood that Ambassador
Chinda requested an interview with
the president when he presented the
note of his government to Secretary
Bryan.
Despite the pressure Of the Japanese
for an early adjustment Of the situa
ton, it was indicated at the White
House that the negotiations are far
from nearing a conclusion. In fact, II

call by means of which the governor
might secure authority to make an APP
pointment of a senator from Alabama.
The governor states that he is satisfied
that, legally speaking, he has authority
under the new amendment to make an
appointment and that supplementary leg
islation is not necessary.
AS stated, senator will be named with
in the next few weeks. unless the gov
ernor abandons his present intention. He
feels that he has the authority to make
the appointment. He feels also that he
is entitled to receive a verdict at the
hands of the Senate's committee on cleo
tions and privileges As is remembered
while the committee in the case of Con-
gressman Clayton intimated that it would
not recommend seating him, it did not
formally make a report to that effect. As
a matter of fact, 1t has formally said
nothing,
Governor O'Neal did not discuss the ap-
plicants for the vacancy. He gave no
intimation of the man whom he might
honor. 1t is understood however, that
several of the states well known men
would be willing to accept the appoint
ment, even though it is almost the general
opinion that the appointee would not be
seated.
Joseph w. Bailey, former senator from
Texas. regarded as one of the greatest
constitutional lawyers in America, agrees
with the governor that he has the right
to appoint and has advised him to insist
that the Senate committee give him an
answer.
This the governor will do.
