Under private ownership and oper-
alton the American people had rela-
lively the best and cheapest telephone
service in the world. Whatever the
faults Of private management may
have been, the telephone became
great public utility that reached to
every nook ada corner Of the country,
and the public had little reason to COM
plain Of either the cost or the quality
OF the service.
Since the telephone systsms were
taken over by the federal government
OF the postoffice department tho serv-
ice has steadily deteriorated. Nothing
has come out Of government control
except annoyance. vexation and in
creased charges.
In his argument for the extension OF
the period OF federal operation the
postmaster general stated that he had
been informed by Representatives Of
the telephone companies that deter
ioration and confusion" would follow II
the systems were turned back without
legislative guarantees. The deteriora-
ton and confusion are already here,

master generaifi

The action Of the house COMMITTEES In
providing for the return OF the prop
critics on Dec 81 Is meaningless COM
promise. but wholly characteristic Of
congress. Having no telephone policy
and being incapable Of framing tele-
phone policy. the committee postpones
the inevitable day of action In the
hope that something may happen.
There il no reason why the United
States government should not get out
OF the telephone bushes at once There
is not even the shadow Of a reason
why 1t should operate the telephone
systems until Dec. 81. The longer it
is in charge the worse the service is
sure to be and the more complications
will arise. The sooner the properties
are returned the sooner the private
owners can be compelled to restore the
former service and give subscribers

The law against Illicit stills must be
enforced without favor or hesitation
and those who undertake to indulge
in that sort Of business must be made
to understand that they are treading
upon dangerous ground. Now that for
mer legitimate stills are outlawed. the
temptation to engage in the manu-
facture Of Intoxicating liquor will be
great because Of the fancy prices IT
will bring. The government ought to
retain the revenue laws and enforce
them to the letter. 1t will not be diff
cult to ferret out the stills here in
Iowa, but a different problem will con-
front the government in the noun

gally for years has been carried on.
