An Open Letter to the
Telephone Using Public

have all paid dollar for dollar, in cash
at par, into the treasury of our com
pany, for every share they hold, and
they have simply corne into our com
pany because they believed 1t to be a.
safe inves tment.
There is, too. upon the part of the
pubic, a belief that the company is
largely engaged in politics We i'm
aglne this feeling is caused by the fact
that in the past, simply from the stand
point Of self preservation, certain cor
poration were most compelled to be
in politics. but in these days, when the
tendency is to place all corporations
and trust affairs into the hands of a
central body, such as the Interstate
Commerce Commission and local state
commi sions, etc, to deal with the
conduct of businesses such as ours, be-
ing in politics, as b, ieved by the pub
lie. would be fool sh thing and en-
tirely unnecessary. This is, therefore,
to state emphaticallg that we are not,
neither directly or indirectly. in poll
tics, in any way, shape or manner,
and shall not be.
We are going to attempt to give
you the entire story as to our rates.
We have been told, when stating to
some of the public that we proposed
starting a campaign like this, that our
efforts would be futile; that our sub
scribers would turn cut to be selfish and
only look toward the end of getting
as cheap telephone rates as possible.
We do not believe this. We believe that
the great majority OF the public are in
ciIned to be fair, and that it is not SO
much the question of what our tele
make a statement regarding them, and
show our true financing, that we shall
be honest, and that the public shall
know that we are honest. That when
we make statement as to our profits
and earnings, showing just where the
dollar that our sub criber pays US goes
the public may know that we are not
trying to deceive them or keep any
thing back that should be shown
When we honestly do this and our po-
sition seems o be just and right, we
believe that the fairness OF the public
will sustain US. We are going to set
forth the inherent difficulties Of giving
universal telephone service. These ar
ticles and letters are not to be piece
of special pleading or adroit use of
words, but clear, business like setting
forth of facts. We hope, before we get
through, both ourselves and the public
will understand each other better.
There is at least no harm to be done in
trying to accomplish this desired re
suit.
1t is our aim to educate, please and
satisfy the pub ic AMI to be educated
ourselves 1t seems to US that every
corporation has the right of self de
fense, the same as an individual. The
public has the same right. Listen to
our defense land we will listen to
yours No problm has aver been
harder for US than just how we
we were going to let the public know
truly about US, but we believe that no
problem was ever more important to
both. If we can real y make you feel
that you are partner in our business,
we shall have accomplished much. A
large part of the problem will be solved
if we can only bring the public. through

Denver, Colo November, 80, 1913
The Mountain States Telephone ana
Telegraph Company, IN the consider
alton of its future development, recog-
nizes that its highest interests as pup
lie utihty.lie in establishing the closest
and most friendly relationship with the
public generally, and with its patrons IN
particular. therefore, it is the purpose
of the Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph Company thr ugh this an
no.ncement to inaugurate what may
pe termed an advertising educational
series of articles, both in the newspa-
pers and in the form of letters to its
customers 1t is our hope that this
campaign may marx a new era IN the
relation of public utility corporationsl
to the public they serve. We want
this education to work both ways-that
the public may learn the truth about
US, and trat we may learn no" the
public regard US, and how we may far
ly and efficiently serve the oubhc IN
other words what is just and right to
us and to the people and TO convince
the public that we will voluntarily rem-
edy any wrongs we are doing, II point
ed out to US.
We shall show you our financial affairs
frankly and freely. 1t so happens
that our financing has b en- of such
nature that it is easy for US to clearly
show to YOU this side of our affairs.
l.. hot h..yys
absolutely no water in our stock, we
have no bonds, nor any preferred stock,
and no mortgage of any kind upon
which to pay fixed charges. We have
more invested in fur plant at its pre-
sent replacement value than our issue
of common stock, and We have no other
stock issued than common stock. There
are no whees within wheels, nor COM
panies within companies, to absorb
profits We finance ourselves from year
to year by selling OR common stock
to the people, at not less than par IN
the state in which we operate.
When we tell you the story of our
financing. we will prove to you that
there never have been any fortunes,
large or small, made out of the man
ipuaton of our stock, in other words
no high financing has ever been done in
connection with the Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Company, or
Is predecessors The stock never has
had any speculative value: it has been.
and is now, simply a safe investment.
There is greas misunderstanding
upon the part OF the public as to this
side of our business. Persons with ul-
terror motives, striving for office, and
newspapers wishing to give startling
news lsee note below frequently pub
hsh stories Of how rich certain officials
of our company are. Right now, this is
being done in connection with the new
revenue tax. We suppose these stor-
les grow out of the belief of certain of
the public that the executive officials
of our company own the entire plant
1t is absurd, for these executive Off
cials of our company are merely trust
ees of the property, for the stockholders
and none of them are rich men, nor
have they a very heavy holding of the
st ok. 1t is true that certain reputed
rich men have large holdings of stock
of our company-some of them being
on our Board of Directors-but not one
of them has made any money whatso-
ever out of dealing in our stock. They
