An Open Letter to the
Telephone Using Public

public prosperity depends largely up
on the utilities that bring them il
contact with each other, and that tn
more nearly perfect in efficiency ant
sufficiency the utilities serving th'
public are, the more prosperity, com
forts and conveniences the public will
enjoy.
We believe our story is an interest
ing one, and we hope that everyone
will read it.
Note.-As an instance of the kind
of startling news which newspapers
sometimes publish, we want to call
attention to recent articles in the
newspapers headed, Omitted States
Government Calls Upon Two Girl Ste
nographers to Tell Where They Got
Two Million Dollars to Form the Cor
poration Securities and Investment
| Company" Then the articles went on
to say that this Corporation 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 strong feeling in the
State of Montana-well nigh univer-
sal-that something should be done to
relieve the citizens of that state, of
two telephone systems. Public meet
ings have been 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 in
terests operating here also operated
in Spokane, in the State of Washing
ton, and in northern Idaho, and that
the Independent interests doing bust
ness in Montana could not be bought,
or sold, so as to alone cover the prop
erty in Montana, but that the pur-
chase 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, there
fore, is not responsible 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 a position to
either buy or sell, from or to, the
Independent interests in Montana,
there was formed this Corporation Sc
curities and Investment Company. as
a corporate company, to enter into ne
gotiations with the Independent inter-
ests in Montana, which negotiations
are now in progress, and, if possible,
to buy these Independent interests in
northern Idaho and Wash
ngton, and then in the end, if that
purpose was accomplished, the Cor
poration Securities and Investment
Company should sell to The Noun
ain States Telephone and Telegraph
Company the portion of the Independ-
mt plants in Montana, and sell to 9TH
RS the portion of these Independent
,lants existing in northern Idaho and
We explain this so the public may
now that in the above Foreword,
where we say "there is no company

gheels," we are speaking absolutely
ruly, and also that this Corporation

yhich was so freely advertised by the
rticles in the newspaper referred to,
