going to let the public know truly
about US, but we believe that no prob
lem was ever more important to both.
If we really can make you feel that
you are a partner in our business, we
shall have accomplished much. A
large part of the problem viii be
solved. if we can only bring the pub
lie, through education to a full under
standing that there is a mutual de-
pendence between the public service
corporations and the public, and that
public prosperity depends largely up
on the utilities that bring them in
contact with each other. and that the
more nearly perfect in efficiency and
sufficiency the utilities serving the
public are, the more prosperity, COM
forts and conveniences the public will
enjoy.
We believe our story is an inter-
esting one. and we hope that every
one 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, United States
Government Calls Upon Two Girl
Stenographers to Tell Where They
Got Two Million Dollars to Form the
Corporation Securities and Invest
ment Company" Then the articles
went on to say that the Corporation
Securities and Investment Company
was a scheme of the telephone COM
pany to further its purpose of monop-
olizing telephone companies, etc.
The truth is that our company has
been met with strong feeling in the
State of Montana-well-n 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
submitted to us, and we have start
ed out to see what we could do to
relieve the citidens of that state of
this burden.
We found that the independent in
terests operating there also operated
in Spokane, in the state of Washing
ton, and in northern Idaho, and that
the Independent interests doing bust
ness in Montana, which negotiations
are now in progress, and. if possible,
to buy these independent interests in
Montana, northern Idaho and Wash
ington, and then in the end, If that
purpose was accomplished, the Corpo-
ration Securities and Investment COM
pany should sell to me Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany the portion of the Independent
plants located in Montana, and sell
to others the portion of these indie
pendent plants existing in northern
Idaho and Washington.
We explain this 50 me public may
know that in the above Foreword,
where we say here is no company
within a company, or wheels within
Wheels" we are speaking absolutely
truly, and also that this Corporation
Securities and Investment company.
which was so freely advertised by the
articles in the newspapers referred to
is absolutely a legitimate and proper

fic purposes stated.

Denver Colo. November 80. 1913
The Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph company in the consider
alton Of its future development, rec
ognizes that its highest interests as a
public utility 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
through its announcement. to inau
gurate what may be termed as adver-
Using educational series as articles.
both in the newspapers and in the
form of letters to it's customers. 1t is
our hope that the campaign may mark
a new era in the relation of public
utility corporations to the public they
serve. We want this education to
work both ways-that the public may
learn the truth about US. and that we
may learn how the public regard US.
and how we may fairly and efficiently
serve the public-ip other words.
whatwhat 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, if
pointed out to US.
We shall show You our financial af-
fairs. frankly and freely. It so hap
pens that our financing has been of
such a nature that it is easy for us to
clearly show you this side of our
affairs. What we mean by this is,
that we have 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
our plant at its present replacement
value than our issue of common stock,
and we have no other stock issued
than the common stock. There are
no wheels within wheels. nor compan-
les within companies, to absorb
profits. We finance ourselves from
year to year by selling our common
stock to the people, at not less than,
par, in the states in which we OPP
crate.
When we tell you the story of our
financing. we will prove to you that
there never has been any fortunes,
large or small, made out of the manip-
ulation of our stock-in other words.
no high financing has ever been done
in connection with the Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph com
pany, or it's predecessors. The stock
never has had any speculative value;
it has been, and is now. simply a safe
investment.
There is a great misunderstanding
upon the part of the public as to this
side of our business. Persons with
Interior motives, STRIVING for office.
and newspapers wishing to give star
ting news (see note below frequent
ly publish stories of how rich certain
officials of our company are. Right
now. this is being done in connection
with the new revenue tax. We sup
pose these stories 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 officials of our COM
pany are merely trustees of the prop
ETY., for the stockholders, and none
of them are rich men, nor have any
a very heavy holding Of the stock. 1t
