Telephone Connection Com
pIeted.
The Grant County Line and Dakota
Central Now Interchange.

The long looked for connection
of the Grant County Telephone
Co. and the Dakota Central Tele-
phone Co., as desired by the peo-
pie and business men of Milbank
has at last been established and
communications are being made
daily over the trunk lines be-
tween the two exchanges. The
people Of Milbank and their city
attorney are to be congratulated
in their efforts and winning of
this connection as it does away
with the extra burden and ex-
pense of supporting two local ex-
changes and paying for two tele-
phones where one is sufficient.
By this connection as ordered by
the board of railroad commission
ers Of the state of South Dakota,
subscribers of the Grant County
Telephone Co. at Milbank can
talk to any point in the state of
South Dakota over the Dakota
Central Telephone Co. toll lines
and to the subscribers Of the Da-
kota Central exchange at Mil
bank and the Dakota Central
subscribers can talk to the Grant
county subscribers at Milbank.
In commenting on the discord be-
tween the two telephone compa-
nies at Milbank the railroad COM
missioners in their decision by
their most able commissioner,
Hon. P w. Dougherty, had the
following to say:
"The discord in this case, if discord
may be said to exist, arises from the
establishment in one city of two tele-
phone systems for the purpose OF a
single service. In our original report
n this case we said:
This is another one of those in
frequent. but nevertheless unfortun-
ate cases where we have a duplica-
tion Of facilities for tha same pur-
e&s =
pose located in one municipality.
While competition may be desirable in
many lines. 1t is not desirable in the
case OF telephone companies which
are under regulation by a public ad-
ministrative board having power to
prescribe their rates and regulate
their practices; and in every instance
where there is duplication OF facili-
ties. burden is necessarily imposed
upon the public. Fortunately there
are but few instances in South Dako-
ia where two telephone companies
are operating exchanges in the same
municipality. imposing a burden up
on the public either by compelling
some OF the citizens to subscribe to
both telephones. or all of them to
pay an arbitrary charge above the
regular rate for intercommunicatio
with their neighbors and fellow citi-
zens. The most equitable solution. of
the entire controversy now before the
board in this case would be q con-
solidation OF the two exchanges un-
der one ownership.
"The supreme court Of Kansas in
apt language. in the case OF Janicke
vs. Washington Mutual Telephone Co..
SO Kan. 309. $50 Pac 633, has at
firmed our views as follows:
Two telephone systems serving
the same constituency place q usless
burden upon the community, cause
sorrow OF the heart and vexation Of
the spirit. and are altogether undesir-
able. The public utilities commits
sion with its power over rates and
sufficiency and efficiency OF service
can quickly suppress any evil conse-
Quences OF monopoly. and good public
policy favor rather than discounten-
ance single system"

THE LEAvEN is WORKING

What most of the leading German
newspapers say about President vii.
sons reply TO the Vatican's peace pro-
posals Is important only as rejecting
the mind and the purpose of the Ger
man government, says the New York
World. What Vorwarts says is i'm.
portant as rejecting the sentiment of
a great mass of the German people,
and 1t is significant that Vorwarts
treats the presidents demands not
only alphabetically but appovIngly.
There is no mistaking the meaning
of such comment as this:
shall II be said of us Germans that
negotiations with the United States
are impossible because we, as "A ma.
ton Of helots, are incapable of assert
ing our own will? Do we deserve this
after years of fighting and suffering.
after achievements and sacrifices with
out measure and number?
Take the world map and regard
one country after another. The real
decision on policies everywhere rests
in the hands of persons chosen by the
people. There are monaTchies and
republics. In the latter the policies
are determined by elected presidents
and elected representative assemblies
In the monarchies the policies are de
termined by representative assemble!
and governments owing their exist
ence to the expressed confidence o
these assemblies.
''If it is thus everywhere else. why il
1t not possible for us? We have beer
waging war for more than three years
and now a great power tells us mus
be like this for us II we wish to attain
peace. Perhaps this is only pretcxt
but in this case it is so clevercl!
chosen that it cannot be met by phras
es but only by deeds"
What Vorwarts says today million
OF social democrats will be saying tC
morrow, and there need be no doub
that the leaven is working.
