can, swing oratorical clubs when occa-
sion demands it, and logical argument
mathematically adjusted is bis deli ht.
He is distinctly one Of the lkkading ora

LOCAL COMPANYT0
GIVE UP FRANCHISE
Zenith Telephone Company TO
Accept State Law-City To /
Lose Control.

The Zenith Telephone company has
notified the city that it is about to
surrender it's franchise and accept
the provisions of the state law by
which its rates and service will be
regulated by the Railroad and Ware
house commission.
When this move is finally made
the city will be obliged to pay for
Zenith telephones which it now gets
free of charge under the franchise
granted in 1899.
In all probability the company. will
attempt to show the state commission
that it Is not getting a sufficient re-
turn on it's Investment at the present
rate charged for telephone service,
and application will be made for an
increase in the rates. This may not
be in the cards now, but it is coming
just as sure az fate.
Under the terms of the franchise
of the 500, that railroad company is
obliged to install in it's Duluth offices
the telephones of a; company that
pays a gross earnings tax to the city.
::~hen the Zenith company surrenders
it's franchise it would seem that it
will cease paying a gross earnings
tax into the city treasury. It may be
then that the 500 will not be forced
! to keep installed in their offices to
any extent Zenith phones.
