He HOLDS OUT HOPE
KinkeI Tells Phone Men They May
Get Rate Increase.

John NJ. Kinkel, chairman eofsthe
public utilities commission. famed the
embers of hope in the breasts of the
telephone men regarding raise in
rates when he addressed them this
afternoon in the auditorium. He init
mated that applications for more COM
pensatory rates might receive favor
able regard in the eyes of the COM
mission. But he warned the telephone
men that if they hoped to get higher
rates they would have to maintain
the very best service it is humanity
possible to do and keep their books in
such a way that every transaction
would be perfectly clear to whomso-
ever cared to make inquiry.
The tendency during the last few
years, probably owing to war condi-
tons, has been toward a centralized
form of government, he declared. and
the usual ultimate result of such a
government is autocracy. He painted
for the delegates the problem that
would confront them if they had to
carry their troubles to Washington for
adjustment instead of to the local
commission, and intimated that moth
ing stands in the way of the telephone
people from advising their senators
and congressman of their aversion to
such a prospect by resolution, or
otherwise.
Kinkel admitted the prime impor-
taEc-e of the telephone as a public
utility and assured his audience that
the commission showed no favors, but
decided all applications on their
merits. But he intimated that appli-
cations for higher rates, provided they
were justified. would probably be
granted when the lines revert to pri-
vate ownership on July 1.
E. b. Fisher, who followed Kinkel
on the program, expressed the hope
that the lines would not be abruptly
thrust back in to the hands of the
owners without some precautions. for
their future welfare.
Capt. w. S. Vivian followed Fisher
with an address, telling of the work
of the signal corps in France and the
! importance of the telephone in the
field

losses in the Argonne battle. due
largely to inefficient leadership.
Baker said it was entirely possible
the report was in the records of the
army corps with which the Thirty
fifth was operating and that as soon
as these were transferred to Wash
ington, further search would be made.
Rather Large Statement.
Mr. Baker characterized as "a rath-
err large assertion" Governor Aliens
statement That the inefficient lead
ership of the 35th division seems to
belong to that highly organized inef-
ficiency that characterized every de-
partment of the army activity over
there"
The secretary says the report which
the governor had referred was based
on an inspection of the conduct of
he Thirty-fifth division during an at
tack and said nothing regarding lack
of airplanes or artillery, mentioned
by Governor Allen.
Recently Governor Allen charged
that the war department had hidden
a report from an army officer regard
ing inefficient artillery support and
failure of the war department to pro-
vide adequate supplies and munitions.

by the Kansas governor. a report was
published in several papers. purport-
ing to be a copy of the official docu-
