It is Ericsson's duty to see that
buildings are not erected in violation
of the law, and to inspect them after
they are up to see that there is no
lodging Of the law.
But Building Commissioned Henry
Ericsson seems to be utterly incapa-
BILE of doing his duty This is not
the first time his negligence has been
shown up, nor is it likely to be the
last.
Perhaps it is too much to expect
the present administration to divorce
Ericsson from his job. Ericsson con-
trolls many votes. -s
But the open knowledge that under
Ericsson's administration of the
building laws twenty-six hospitals are
violating the fire laws, ought to make
the administration whisper in Erics-
sons ear that it would be, a fine thing
to get on the job.
A fire in hospital is too terrible
calamity for any chances to be
taken. -.
Of course, it is possible that the
present administration does not wish
to make Ericsson do his duty and en-
force the law. .. -.5-...----.
The last time, Mayor Harrison was
shown how Ericsson's negligence had
cost human ife,i Harrison merely
said: 49,
81 am confident that Mr.. Ericsson
knows how to run his department"
There are none 80 blind as those
who will not see-unless it be a poll
tician whose eyes are blinded by the
vote-delivering power of friend.

1T WOULD BE A FINE IDEA FOR
ERICSSON TO GET BUSY


Health Commissioner Young has
refused to renew the licenses of eight
more hospitals because these thospi-
tails have not complied with the fire
prevention and safety laws.
A few days ago the health depart
.ment held up the licenses of eighteen
other hospitals on the same grounds.
The last eight held up are as fol-
lows:
Presbyterian. Hospital, 1853 West
Congress street.
St. Anthony de Padua, West Nine
teenth and Marshall boulevard
Passavant Memorial Hospital, 149
West Superior street.
st. Mary's Hospital, 1920 North
Leavitt street.
Provident Hospital, Thirty-sixth
and Dearborn streets.
Union Park Maternity Hospital,
1920 Carroll avenue. ~:
Augustana Hospital, 2037 Cleve-
land avenue.

Diversey parkway. - ..
DR.. Young has demanded that
Building Commissioner Ericsson see
to it that the twenty-six hospitals he
has named comply with the law and
says he will issue no license to them
until they do.
DR.. Young ought never to have had
to make demand like that on Erics-
son. '-

the utilities that bring them in contact
, with each other, and that the more
nearly perfect in efficiently and suft-
cheney the utilities serving the public
are the more prosperity, comforts and
cOrvelljerccs the public will enjoy.
We believe our story is an interest
ing one. ard We hope that everyone
will read it.
kOTE.-As an instance of the kind of
startling news which newspapers some
times publish. we want to call atten-
tiun to recent articles in the newspa-
pers headed, United States Govern
ment Calls Upon Two Giil Stenogra-
pliers to Tell Where They Got Two
Million Dollars to Form the Corpora
ton Securities and Investment Comp
any Then the articles went on to
say that this Corporation Securities
and Investment Company was a scheme
of the Telephone Company to further
Its purpose Of monopOlizing telephone
companies, etc.
The truth is that our company has
been met with q strong feeling in the
State of Montana -well-nigh universal
that something should be done to re-
lieve the citizens of that state, of two
telephone systems. Public meetings
have heen held. and votes taken, that
the telephones of one or the other of
the systems should be thrown out.
Resolutions and letters have been sub
mitted to US, and we have started out
to see what we could do to relieve the
citizens of that state of this burden.
We found that the Independent
Int tt,,u h AIm
operated in Spokane, in the
State of Washington, and in northern
Idaho, and that the Independent inter-
ests doing business in Montana could
not be bought, or sold, so as to alone
cover the property in Montana, but
that the purchase must include their
property in the states of Idaho and
Washington. The Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Company
does not operate in either of these
sections. and, therefore. is not respor-
sible for telephone conditions there. nor
does it wish to operate there, but we
felt we must meet the situation in
Montana and so, in order to be in
! position to either buy or sell, from or
TO, the independent interests in Monta-
ma, there was formed this Corporation
Securities and Investment Company,
as corporate company, to enter into
negotiations with the independent in
terests in Montana, which negotiations
ale now in progress, and, if possible, to
buy these Independent interests in
Montana, northern Idaho ard Wash
ington, and then in the end, if that
purpose was accomplished, the Corpo-
alton Securities and Investment Com
pany should stH to The Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany the portion of the Independent
plants located in Montana, and sell
to others the portion of these Irdepen-
dent plants existing in northern Idaho
and Washington.
We explain this so the public may
know that in the above ForewOrd,
where we say there is no company
within company, or wheels within
Wheels" we are speaking absolutely
truly. ard also that this Corporation
Securities and Investment Company,
which was so freeey advertised by the
articles in the newspaper referred to-,
is absolutely legitimate and proper
company and organized for the specific
purposes stated.

par, into the treasury of our company
for every share they hold. and they
have simply come into our company
because they believed it to be :, safe
investment.
There is, too, upon the part of the
public, a belief that the company is
largely engaged in politics. We imag-
inc this feeling is caused by the fact
that In the past. simply from the
standpoint of self preservation, GER
tain corporations were almost compel
led to be in politics; but in these DAYS
when the tendency is to place all cor
poratiOns and trust affairs into the
hands of central body, such as the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
local state commissions, ETC., to deal
with the conduct of businesses such as
ours, being in politics as believed by
the public. would be foolish thing
and entirely unnecessary. This is,
therefore, to state emphatically that
We are not, either directly or indirect.
ly, in politics. in any way, shape or
manner, and shall not be.
We are going to attempt to give
ycu the entire story As to our rates.
We have been told when stating to
some of the public that we propose ed
starting campaign like this, that our
efforts would be futile; that onr sub
scribers would turn out to be selfish
and only look toward the end of get
ting as cheap telephone rates as pos
sibie. We do not believe this. We
believe that the great majority of the
public are Inclined to be fair, and that
it is not SO much the question of what
our telephone rates are as it is that
when we make statement regarding
them. and shew our true financing,
that we shall be honest. and that the
pnblic shall know that we are honest.
to our profits and earnings, showing
scriber pays US goes, the public may
know taat we are not trying to de-
ceive them or keep anything back that
should be shown. When We honestly
do this and our position seems to be
just and right, we believe that the fair.
ness of of the public will sustain us.
We are going to set forth the in,
herent difficulties, of giving universe
telephone service. These articles anc
letters are not TO be piece of spe
cial pleading or adroit use of words
but clear business like setting forth
of facts. We hope before we gel
through. both ourselves and the public
will understand each other better
