iDtLDERING RESPONSIBILITY

There are times when DcODlc---
especially officials OF a community
n Il municipality---sh should take
things in their own hands and
shoulder responsibility for their
olhcial actions. and not seek to throw
the responsibility over to the should
er: Of the mass Of citizens whom they
represent.
And doubtless every one who has
read these few lines has already
come to the conclusion that we have
reference to the recent granting Of
privilege to increase rates by the
Oconee Telephone Company. We do
not censure the town officials for
granting the increase in local rates.
We have no facts before us upon
which to base criticism. un-
favorable or otherwise We do
think, however, that the local
officials made a grave mistake when
n.ey notified he citizens OF the town
tnat unless they appeared before
that body and made objection the
iaise in rates would probably be
granted.
tnqncStionably, if Council invcsti-
gated into conditions and circum-
stances that led to the local company
requesting privilege to raise rates
and found that Il raise Of &C 2-3 per
cent in residence rates and a raise
Of 33 l-3 per cent on business rates
was justified in order that the local
company might continue in business
It lair margin Of profit for the
''luck holders. il was the duty OF the
the matter OF patronage 10 the indi-
yiIu&lS. If. on the other hand they
made the investigation. and found
the raise in rates not justified by
conditions existing to-day, it was
maniicStly. according to our way Of
thinking, their pain duty to refuse
,hc request OF the local company
Frankly, we do not like the mode
adopted by Council Of thrusting to
the shoulders Of the individual citi-
zen responsibility for official acts.
Nor does it. if we may judge by
casual comment in general, sit we'll
with the public Of Walhalla. We
have none Of the facts before us as

to conditions prevailing with which

tl!e local company for asking the in
| creased rates, nor can We Intelligent
ly criticise the Council for granting
Tie raise.
AS Il matter OF fact, the greatest
| consideration in which the general
;".blic is concerned is service. If

the raise in rates is given, VIC doubt
| IL there will be serious objection; if
,hc service is not materially bcttcred,
thc local company will assurcdly suf-

tn make continuance Of the ser
vice unjustiiicd on their part. Thus
+ and T. discontinue their patron
age Of the local company, and again
the scope Of service to the re-
maindcr OF the citizens Is reduced.
If there were to be, in considera-
lion or the increased rates granted,
improvements made by the local COM
pany. 1t would have been infinitely
better for the Council to have put
The proposition squarely before the
local company that, so soon as the
improvements were made, Just so
soon would they be given permission
to raise the rates for service. by do
