The money question however, is
the main question. Nine hundred
million dollars would not be a look
in. The Tell Telephone companies
would demand more than that.
Then there a-e the thousands of in
dependent telephone companies and
farm lines scattered over the coun-
try. The entire bill, including tele-
graph lines, would be about $4,000
100000, whIth is ABOUT two-thirds
of the national debt at the close Of
the civil war when many inteiif-
gent men despaired of the solyency
of the republic.
"Nor is this the worst. JUDGING
from the past experience. that vast
sum of money would be entirely
lost because under government man
agement the operating expenses
year by year would exceed the in
come.
"One of the worst complications
that would arise would be In re
gard to the contracts between the
telegraph companies and the rE.,
roads England found this out
when it took over the te1egrap'
lines. and then had to pay the rail
roads an enormous sum to get ful
control of the telegraph lines which
were built on the railroads and in
which the railroads had an interest
