LEWIS EXPLAINS
PHONE PROPOSAL
Declares Difference Exists Be-
tween PostaIization and Gov
eminent Owner hip.

Postalization of the telephone and
telegraph is vastly different from the
simple idea OF Government ownership.
CONGRESSMAN David J. Lewis of Mary
lana told the members of the Wash
ington Single Tax Association at their
meeting last night at the Public IL
orary' In explaining his bill providing
lot operation by the postoffiee Of the
eeiepnone system OF the District Of
Columbia. y
congressman Lewis cited the DOS
taiized telephone and telegraph sys-
TENS OF Germany as proof OF the prac-
tlcaoiiity OF similar operation in this
country. =

postonice in GERMANY" he said.

In countries where the telegram
Is operated by the postal authorities,
communication rates are as low as

Tor WHICH the charge In this country
would be Is cents. A message will 20
zoo miles at the same rate there,
whereas It would cost approximately
40 eepts over that distance here"
Defines Difference.
Mr.. Lewis explained that when he
said there was a vast difference be-
tween postalization and general Gov
eminent ownership OF the telephone
and Geographic systems, he meant
the difference existed between placing
them under the postoffice and placing
them generally under Government
operation.
"The Postoffice Department has a
certain morale and certain system
and experience. When we 90 to

ment has a certain duty that IL can

"a practical example of It's effici-

gress estimated would cost cents
to transport including carrier and
carriage expenses, are now being car
ried for slightly over ~ cents, ow-

department"
Phone In Every Home.
Congressman Lewis told the single
takers the Government could place a
phone in practically every house In
the land by making contracts calling
for 900 calls per ahnum at 81 per
month. Extra messages, he said,
could be furnished at q flat rate of
