NEW TELEPHONE RATES

1NTlL telephone charges can be graded
~ in a manner that will permit all sub
scribers to pay a rate fixed exactly by the
length of each cali and based upon the
distance actually covered, this form Of
wire communication will be imperfect in
the eyes OF those who have become most
accustomed to 1t. The same thing may
be said Of trolley service.
Under the new toll system now being
devised, the cost of many short calls will
be increased. Yet it is apparent that the
telephone men are merely attempting to
apply in a general way a theory Of rate
equalization that ultimately may be applied
within the limits of cities when the scrv.
ice has been further perfected. Thus the
computed mileage rate which will apply
to long.distance conversations is based
upon a right principle. For the present,
In working out a revised scheme of tolls,
it has been found necessary to begin with

geographical lines of cities.

though 1t be to a point less than a mile
off. may cost more than a call over the
seven or ten miles of the city's area. 1t
is natural that those who use telephone
lines in the suburban regions should com
plain. They have good reasons. Yet the
difficulty is one which telephone men can.
not overcome with the mechanism now at
their disposal. The short.linc telephone
user is in much the same position as the
short rider on a street.car line. upon whom
the trolley companies depend for a large
part of the income necessary to provide
long rides at the basic rate Of fare.
What is lacking in the telephone sys.

ization of a utility already developed to a
high degree of efficiency. are devices by
which a telephone user would be permitted
to pay a charge in exact ratio with the
cost of the service rendered. Because such
an arrangement would be an ideal one, it
probably will remain forever beyond hu.
man attainment. In the meantime, the
fivc.cent basic rate is generally very fair,
since it insures a service of quick com.
munication far superior to anything avail
able elsewhere in the world.
It seems to be the intention Of the
telephone companies and the Federal Off.

those most familiar with the telephone are
disposed to consider it as a personal con.

an ideal and an impossibility. The prin-

perhaps, but assuredly preferable to

Well, II I can't, then no one can
And let me add that I intend to:
She'll never know another man
