utilities that bring them in contact
with each other, and that the more
nearly perfect in efficiency and sui
ficiency the utilities serving the
public are. the more prosperity.
comforts and conveniences the pub
lie 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 this Corpora.
ton Securities and Investment
Company was a scheme of the Tele.
phone Company to further its pur.
pose of monopolizing telephone
companies, etc.
The truth is that our company
has been met with a strong feeling
in the State OF Montana-well-nigh
universal-that something should
be done to relieve the citizens OF
that state, OF two telephone sys-
TENS. Public meetings have been
held. and votes taken. that the tele-
phones OF one or the other OF the
systems should be thrown out. Res.
olutions and letters have been sub
mitted to US. and we have started
out to see what we could do to re.
iieve the citizens OF that state OF
this burden.
We found that the Independent
interests operating tnere also oper-
ated in Spokane, in the State OF
Washington, and in northern Idaho,
and that the Independent interests
doing business in Montana could not
cover the property in Montana. but
that the purchase must include their
property In the states OF Idaho and
Washington. The Mountain States
Telephone and Telephone Company
does not operate in either Of these
sections, and, therefore, is not re-
sponsible for telephone conditions
there, nor does it wish to operate
there. but we felt We must meet the
situation in Montana, and so, in Or
der to be in a position to either buy
or sell, from or to, the Independent
interests in Montana, there was
formed this Corporation Securities
and Investment Company. as a cor
porate company, to enter into neso-
tiations with tn, Independent inter-
ests in Montana, which negotiations
are now in progress. and, II possi-
BILE, to buy these Independent inter-
ests in Montana, northern Idaho and
Washington, and then in the end, IL
that purpose was accomplished. the
Corporation Securities and Invest
ment Company should sell to The
| Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph Company the portion OF
the Independent plants located in
Montana. and sell to others the por-
ton OF these Independent plants eI-
isting in northern Idaho and Wash
| ington.
We explain this 40 the public may
know that in the above Foreword.
where we say there Is no company

truly, and also that this Corporation

which was 80 freely advertised by
the articles in the newspaper re-
ferred to. is absolutely a legitimate
and proper company and organized
for the specific purposes stated.
The Monte Vista journal., 1913-12-06

Denver, Colo, November 80, 1913.
The Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph company, in the con-
sideration of its future development.
recognizes that its highest interests
as public utility lie in establishing
the closest and most friendly rela-
tionship with the public generally.
and with its patrons in particular;
therefore, it is the purpose of The
Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph Company, through this
announcement, to inaugurate what
may be termed an advertising edu-
cational series of articles, both in
the newspapers and in the form of
letters to its customers. 1t is our
nope that this campaign may mark
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
and efficiently serve the public-in
other words, what is just and right
to us and to the people, and to con-
vince the public that we will volun-
tarily. remedy any wrongs we are
doing, il pointed out to us.
We shall show you our financial
affairs. frankly and freely. 1t so
happens that our financing has been
OF such nature that it is easy for
us to clearly show to 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 compa-
nies within companies, to absorb
profits. We finance ourselves from
year to year by selling our COM
mon stock to the people, at not less
than par, in the states 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
manipulation of our stock-in other
words. no high financing has ever
been done in connection with The
Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph Company, or its predeces-
sors. The stock never has had any
speculative value; it has been, and
is now, simply safe investment.
There is great misunderstand-
ing upon the part OF the puolic as
to this side OF our business. Per-
sons with Interior motives, striving
for office, and newspapers wishing
to give startling news (see note be-
low frequently publish stories OF
now TlCH CERTAIN OlllCldlS VI oui
company are. Right now, this is be-
ing done in connection with the new
revenue tax. We suppose these
stories grow out of the belief Of GER
tain of the public that the executive
officials OF our company own the
entire plant. 1t is absurd, for these
executive officials of our compan,
are merely trustees Of the property
for the stockholders, and none o.
them are rich men, nor have they ;
