service they want.
There is special reason why the telephone COM
panes should not antogonize the people, and that is the
peculiar basis of their rates. Already there is agitation
in ST Paul and Minneapolis for free service between the
two cities The telephone companies give this
vice at the rate they are charging today but they
alternate the sypmathy of the people Of the state. they
may have to.
Once the fight is we'll under way, the telephone COM
panes will be forced to their knees before the public will
be persuaded to be ''fair'
The people today asking nothing but service and
have left the matter of rates to the constituted authorities
If the telephone companies fight the giving of the service
then the fight will extend also to the question OF rates.
If the fight extends the telephone companies will be
sorry.
Now the telephone companies have their warning.
They take it or leave it.

Here is word of warning to the long distance tele-
phone companies and they take it leave it far
as we concerned.
For several years. the people have demanded that
telephone companies be placed under the regulation of
state commission especially with view to COM
polling all long distance companies connect with every
local exchange. After having failed of passage in
legislature after having been vetoed by Governor Eb
erhart when passed by another legislature the provision
has finally been enacted into law,
1t is a reasonable law. It not passed because
the people want to unfair to the telephone companies
or because the people want to punish the telephone
panies, because they listened to demagogue.
The sole for its passage is that the people
want the service.
Now the telephone companies instead of furnishing
that service going to fight and they will set up that
the law and will carry the thing thru
the courts for years and years.
Meanwhile the people will become and more
impatient and and regulatory measures will
be passed. and in the end the telephone companies will let

companies if the telephone companies will only have the
