ed" IN the various foreign countries.
Only few OF these figures are nee
essary 20 show that America is far be-
hind the foreign nations in taking full
public advantage OF the great inven-
ton OF the telephone. Mr.. Lewis de-
clared that II the phone were in great
CT use. the American rates would not
be tolerated for an instant. II is only
because the comparatively well-to-do
have the telephone that the Outcry
against the private monopoly is not
greater.
But here are some figures. In Swe-
den a subscriber to government
phone pays an average OF s.OO5 for
each local call. In the United States
the average is s.O24. The American
local phone call rate is five per cent
higher than the American letter rate.
In Sweden where letters are sent for
about 2ia cents each. the letter rate Is
over four times the phone rate. The
United States ranks 18th in the ex-
pense OF telephone service. Phone
service IS cheaper in practically every
