Mr.. Aune and others, that the present
plant and equipment is to be entire
ly rebuilt-would have been so before
had war conditions not made it inn
possible, that the girls at the local
office on paid in accordance with the
usual scale for operators, that poor
rural line service is matter to come
before the Rural Telephone Company

pared well with service in neighbor-

HELD HERE MONDAY

.(COnClQued from nrSC page
an initial investment of $8775.00 the
plant and the equipment was now va
lued at $4,000 after nine years of
service. There are forty-six stock
holders. The earnings Of the Company
have been during the time is has
been doing business, between rs and
l30 per cent. The Company pays it's
operators who are five in number sal
aries ranging from $35 to $50 per
| month.
Attorney Frank Clague repre- sent
| ing the patrons of the telephone sys-
tenn, then questioned Mr.. Aune. Test
imony was. given showing that the
cash dividends during the past five
pears had been about 160 per cent
ranging from 25 per cent in 1914 10
| SO per cent in 1918, that Of the forty
six stock holders % held one share
each, 6 held two shares each, 6 held
shares aggregating practically $4,000
are held by the remaining twelve
stockholders; that no enlargement of
equipment had been made since it's
| installation.
| Further testimony was given by
| Bert Kleaver, manager of the tele-
phone Company for the past six years
who stated that the equipment was
in good condition but not of the most
modern type, that the system was
no longer adequate to meet the de-
mands made upon it, and that it was
impracticable and inadvisable to try
to increase the number of single line
phone until the plant was enlarg-
ed, that "party" phones were nee
essity under the present system.
Further discussion was held, both
sides expressing opinion. Sworn COM
plants were made by Mr.. Clague as
to poor service, on rural lines, poor
long distance service, that no effort
had been made to remove poles and
wires from street or to modernize
the equipment, and that rates are
exhorbitant in proportion to service
rendered, Judge F. A. Gray also made
a sworn statement that he had tried
many times to get single line SER
vice to his home and had not been
able to obtain it. Judge Gray also
stated that he was on a three-party
line and paying for single line SER
vice.
After the taking of the testimony
Mr.. Putnam gave as his opinion that
the board of directors of the Com
pany had been excellent financial
managers but had sacrificed their ser
vice to the public by not adding to
their equipment as the city grew lar
ger. He made no further statement,
saying that the Commission would
take the matter under advisement and
render a decision.
The feeling expressed by the repre-
sentative men of the city who were
present is that there is little objec-
/ tion to rates if the service is improved
by bettering the equipment, if Inc
salaries of the operators are adequate
for the hours and the work done and
if the poles and wires are removed
from the streets of the city. The

HOW IT HAPPENED

We read in the papers that the
French private soldiers pay is to be
increased by 10 cents a day, which
will make his total daily stipend al
most equal to the sum of two bits in
our money. And they may talk all
they please about the reasons the
French government had for author
izing this staggering increase, but we
know the real reason. There will be
about 100000 American soldiers in
France for several months. or maybe
year, each of them receiving at
least a dollar day. Now, what hap
pened, according to our way of figur-
ing it out was this: The French SOL
diers sent committee to see old Doc
Clemenceau, and they told him that
II they didn't get more pay the Amer
lean soldiers, with their until wealth,
would spend so much money on the
French girls that the natives would
not have a look-in in the beautiful,
bright days that are coming. So
they got their raise, and 1t will be
more of a fair contest from this time
on. We will leave it to any soldier
If we are not right.-Spokesman-

| found him fighting on land and sea

! the war boards. The national dan
ger has stirred mems nobler inn
pulses. With few exceptions, the
representatives of business who have
sat on the War Boards have sought
TO protect the public interests as they
understood the meaning of the term
Few, If any, farmers have been
asked to become members of these
boards There are number of men
in the Food Administration who own
fine farms. But ownership of land
does not make "a city man farmer
His business connections and in
stincts throw him into sympathetic
association with the urban trend of
thought whenever it conflicts with
that OF the farmer. The farmer $
part in determining policies has been
largely negative A small handful of
wealthy and influential farmers have
been called into consultation at
eral leaders of farm organizations,
among them members of the Ma
tional Board of Farm Organizations,
are consulted in times of emergency.
The job of the National Food Admin
istratjon has been to get sufficient
food ut the lowest cost TO the non
producers Of food at home and
abroad Farmers believe they are
entitled to what is fair and right
fully theirs, They are still asking
that they be assured the cost of pro-
duction for wheat, live stock, milk,
cessions have been made to the farm
ers have been made slowly, reluct-
antly of necessity, and from fear
that the food program would fall
down.
Military necessity alone justified
such policy, in the carrying out OF
which captains OF industry have
directly or indirectly had a hand.
Working periodically for a dollar a
year on the government boards, some
of these people have secured an in

the war may be capitalized for count

men represent.
The farmers of America should
know and consider these facts and be
ready to protect themselves. No
body else will do it for them half SO
we'll. There is talk of continuing
these boards after the war. Then
patriotism will not be SO strong a
motive in mems hearts. Farmers are
not wholly unselfish. They are but
human. But the structure of their
plan for cooperative business is
sound and democratic. 1t is based on
the principle OF "self-help through
mutual help" 1t is more altruis-

builders OF true democracy its voice
should be heard in the reconstruc-

NEW POTATOES GOING OUT
NOW In CARLOAD LOTS
First Car Shipped Sunday and Several
Cars Will be Sent Out
Next Week

The first car of new potatoes was
shipped Sunday by the Kennewick-
Richland Marketing Union. Manager
F. II. Krug expects to get out four or
five cars next week after which daily
carload shipments will probably be
made until the close of the season.
The union has been quoting out at
$50 ton and the prospects are good
for a steady market with some pro-
mise of an upward trend Of prices.
The crop of early potatoes will be
short this year and in some patches
the quality will be inferior. Growers
in the Richland district and Kennewick
growers who have individual pumping
plants will have fairly good crops, but
in patches irrigated from the canal
the yield has been cut down by breaks
in the canal.
