BUSINESS TENDS TOWARD MONOPOLY.

Practically all the economists who
have treated the subject of telcgraphs
and telephones, according to the com
Eittee, arc agreed as to the monopo-
li6uC tendency Of this business and are
Of the opinion that it should be con-
trolled by the Government The COM
mittce calls attention to the fact that
Theodore y. Vail. president of the
american Telephone and Telegraph
Company, by his statement that the
telephone business must be under COM
mon control and sufficiently strong to
Constitute practically one system, inter
communicative, interdepcndent. univer-
AL has pointed Out that the most eff
cent telephone service can be attained
only under 4 condition of monopoly.
Tie committee states that. while Mr.
all ''naively agrees to the preamble
Df the economists" he fails to fol-
low the line Of thought to its newt
able conclusion. The division of Opiu-
ion between him and practically all
Jhe economists who nave given this
subject their attention is upon the
question whether the monopoly should
be public or private. The decision of
this question must rest upon which Is
better for the public welfare"
Federal Trust Urged.
The report continues: The primate
monopoly has no incentive to extend
its facilities to Improbable territory:
hut the Government must serve all
the people. This universal service is
accomplished by the equalization Of
rates. In fixing rates, the policy of
this Government is 10 superimpose no
charge for taxation but only to see to
Il that the service as a whole is self
supporting. The private monopoly, on
the other hand, must make a profit, and
IN providing for this, tends to increase
its rates TO the highest point that will
not impair the aggregate profit
In considering the engineering features
Of wire communication, the committee
finds no insurmOuntable obstacles in the
way Of merging the telegraph and tele-
phone facilities with the postal service.
