Expenses of Telephone
Company Increased 9.3%

Mr.. Geo. n. WEIGH. General Manager
Of the Michigan State Telephone Com
pany, declares that the increased rates
authorised by the Postmaster General
are needed to meet an emergency nm
paralelled in the history Of the Com
pany.
No dividends have been paid on the
common stock since 1915. From 1918
to 1918, inclusive, new business re-
curing added capital increased the
revenue of the Company 29.5% while
expenses, not including depreciation
nor interest charges, increased $685..
II the Company had paid q reason
able return on the investment for the
year 1918 1t would have needed 81
823,592 more than 1t did earn. AS q
matter of fact It did not earn enough
to wholly take care Of its depreciation.
The General Manager calls atten-
ton to the problems in Michigan that
faced the Postmaster General when
the Government took over the opera
ton and direction CT the Telephone
lines last August. With continuing
deficit increasing monthly because Of
the increasing costs CT materials and
labor, added revenue had to be OBJ
tanned in order to prevent the Gov
rnment from having to make up the
loss. For this reason an application
was made before the Michigan Rail-
road Commission for increased rate
schedules. The rates asked for were
not claimed to be adequate but It was
thought that they would produce the
minimum amount with which the
Company could continue doing bust
ness and were SO low and the amount
Of added revenue so small that no one
could conscientiously challenge them.
Since that time costs have still further
advanced and conditions have changed
80 that the rates now authorized by
he Postmaster General will not meet
Immediate needs.
Mr.. WEIGH says that for six years
here has been a continued effort to
adjust telephone rates in Michigan.
Because of rapidly changing condi-
ions each schedule proposed has be-
come obsolete before the regulatory
bodies considering it had finally pass
I'd upon it. While charges for all 9th
sr products and services have adj
vanced telephone rates have not in
creased although the cost Of furnish
ng service has been steadily going up.
With this change in rates the in
rease in charges for telephone ser.

(By United Press. }

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 18.-North
Dakota is no longer a lone crop
state"
In two years, according to J. J. Os-
terhous state dairy commissioner, the
value of the dairy products Of the

crop. ~Osterhous based this claim on
a one hundred per cent increase in
the dairy returns to North Dakota
farmers this year over last. In 1918
the famers of the state realized $25,-
100000 from dairying; this year they
received $50,000,00O. Wheat brought
in $16S, 100000 in 1918: $112,OOO,-
900 in 1917, and over $1OO,OOO,Ov-
this year, this, though under abnor-
mally high prices.
