OUR TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH CHARGES
THE SCANDAL OF PUBLIC SERVICE RATES


BY DAVID ]. LEWIS,
Representative in Congress and
Father of Parcel Post.
Our telephone and telegraph
charges are the scandal of public
service rates the world over. And
yet our postal rates rank among the
lowest of ALL Among twenty-one
principal countries only Japan, with
a letter rate of w cents, is lower.
But our telegraph rates are the high
est; we rank 18th among Is couh-
tries. The result of high rates is that
we can use the telegram but little.
We rank but 9th as users among II
countries, with about one 1.10) tele-
gram per capita, as against over eight
in New Zealand, where wage levels
and social conditions are like our
own.
Our toll or long-distance telephone
rates are even more aggravated.
They are based on a scale of 6 mills
a mile, i. e., the rate for 500 miles
So for three minutes, the nearly uni
versal conversational unit.
The American toll rates run from
four to eight times those of Europe
The result is that Germany shows
over five '1ong-distance" talks per
capita per annum, and we but three.
In number of such talks per phone in
use we are near to the bottom of the
list, with 13 countries ahead of US.
There are only three countries in

More than any of the great land

the transplanting of European feu-

with the substitution of ceaseless toll
and hardship willingly borne in place
of the sybarite splendor and luxur-
ious ease of the old world barons.

His whole life was keyed by an ac-
quisitiveness that knew no bounds.
And yet he watched the staples on
his fences with as much care as he
devoted to lettering the strain of his
beef stock. Fortunes are made by
looking after the little things" he
says.
Despite his gruffness, this unedu-
Gated Teuton had a remarkable in
sight into human nature. He was
friendly with his neighbors because
they are valuable asset to mans
success" His very leniency with
cattle rustlers saved his herds from
their rapacity, rather than invited
further theft.
Once he was held up in the
Pacheco pass while returning to his
home ranch, and relieved of all his
money by Mexican bandit. Plead
ing dire need, Miller asked him for a
loan" of a small part of the loot.
A few months later the ranch king
met the outlaw again, and true to his
promise, returned the loan"
The Mexican became his staunch
friend, and Miller chalked the ex-
perience up as profit.

conner was promoted because he
knocked Miller down when the latter
tried to override the orders of a.
straW-boss.
Often he baited his employees with
statements intended to rouse their
ire. When his words struck fire he
was pleased, for "a man who will not
fight for himself cannot properly look
after my interests" he maintained.
In this keen knowledge of the men
with whom he surrounded himself, to
a large extent, lay the secret of his
success. ...
